Improving Data on Immigrant’s Legal Status Jennifer Van Hook

If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

Light is better than shadows “Only by ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda, making scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology, and including the public in our decision-making process will we harness the power of science to achieve our goals.” --Barack Obama, Sept. 4, 2012

Are unauthorized migrants captured in official surveys? YES But they are not fully covered…

Do people answer questions about legal status? Usually

Do people tell the truth? Mostly
