There was a drop of 65,000 undocumented immigrants in Arizona between 2008 and 2014, a report said.
The Journal on Migration and Human Study said its report shows the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States is actually falling, despite popular perception and conversations leaning toward a burgeoning number.
While some may attribute the drop to Arizona passing Senate Bill 1070, a controversial anti-illegal immigration measure, the report’s numbers refute that claim. Instead, it said the downward trend in the number of undocumented immigrants in the state began before the law’s passage.
