States with Estimates and Profiles 2014 Migration Policy Institute
Methodology We used U.S. Census Bureau 2008 Survey ofIncome and Program Participation (SIPP) to assignlegal status to cases in the 2008-2012 AmericanCommunity Survey (ACS). SIPP asks people if they have LPR status (aka greencard); we assigned LPR status to those with similarcharacteristics (origin country, age, etc.) in theACS. We excluded people with temporary legal status(students, H-1Bs, TPS) from unauthorizedpopulation. 2014 Migration Policy Institute
