Nearly two-thirds of undocumented immigrants have been residents of the country for more than ten years, and many of them are parents of children who were born here. Up until 2013, the majority of those attempting to cross the border between the United States and Mexico were Mexican citizens looking for employment. Since that time, Central Americans have made up an increasing percentage of those attempting to cross.

What is the immigrant population in the United States?</h3>
According to the Census Bureau, over 45 million out of a total of almost 332 million Americans will be immigrants in 2020, or nearly 14 percent of the country's population. About 26 percent of Americans are immigrants or children of immigrants, and some academics believe that percentage will rise to 36 percent by 2065.
Since 1970, when there were fewer than 10 million immigrants living in the country, the percentage of the population that is foreign-born has continuously increased.
