More than 450,000 students—about 2 percent of all college students in the United States—are illegal immigrants, according to a new report (pdf) released Thursday, April 16, 2020.
The report is a combined effort between New American Economy (NEA), a New York-based immigration research and advocacy organization, and the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, an association of college leaders seeking supportive policies for immigrant and international students.
