Immigrant Population in U.S. Drops for the First Time in Decades

“ Pew Research Center found that between January and June, the foreign-born population in the United States — both lawful and unlawful residents — declined by nearly 1.5 million. In June, the country was home to 51.9 million immigrants, down from 53.3 million six months earlier.”

Is this something you can really reasonably study? The response rate for illegal immigrants must have tanked right? I know there are techniques for this but they must be disrupted by like major environmental and legal changes. I would doubt you would get it right on your first attempt.

Correct title is "Immigrant Population in U.S. Drops for the First Time in Decades" - is there something automatically editing the titles to remove certain phrases?

My intuition would be that they went underground. Does not say how this is being addressed.

Trumps immigration policies are actually working. Illegal immigration is down 92%. In the UK it's out of control and they are actually spending much more money then the us actively making it worse.
