New Undocumented Population Report: Fact-Based Demography and Just Policies in Challenging Times

The Center for Migration Studies (CMS) is hosting this webinar bringing together leading experts in demography and immigration policy to discuss its recent report estimating the undocumented population in the United States was 12.2 million people in 2023.

The release of the report coincides with an announcement that the Humphrey School of Public Affairs is partnering with CMS to further study the undocumented population in the U.S. 

The speakers will present the 2023 population estimates, contextualize the policy changes and geopolitical trends driving changes in the data, and reflect on the challenges that mass deportation policies and a climate of fear pose for demography. 

Speakers:

• Robert Warren, senior visiting fellow at CMS. He leads the organization’s research into demographic estimates of the undocumented population.
• Ryan Allen, professor and associate dean for research at the Humphrey School, with research expertise in the experience of immigrants in the U.S. 
• Phillip Connor, senior demographer at FWD.us and a research fellow at the Center for Migration and Development at Princeton University.
• Mario Russell, Executive Director at CMS (moderator)
