5. What Does “Undocumented” Mean?
According to the Urban Institute, two groups account for most undocumented immigrants
Those who entered the country without valid documents
Those who entered with valid visas but overstayed their visas' expiration or otherwise violated the terms of their admission
Some undocumented immigrants have legal authorization to live and work in the United States.
Two groups—those with temporary protected status (TPS) and asylum applicants—may account for as much as 10% of this group’s estimate of the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S.
