American high schools are churning out nearly 100,000 illegal immigrant “Dreamers” a year, according to a new study Wednesday that shows just how extensive the network of illegal immigrant families is in the U.S.
The Migration Policy Institute’s research is the first in more than a decade to try to capture the size of the emergent Dreamer population, which is defined as illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as juveniles, lacking any immediate claims to legal status.
MPI’s numbers show the population has grown, from about 65,000 a year in 2003 to 98,000 graduating each year now.
Some 27,000 more illegal immigrants reach high school graduating age but won’t actually graduate, MPI says.
