In the United States, a statistical methodology called residual method is employed to estimate the number and economic effects of undocumented immigration in the country. Under this method, the number of foreign-born US residents (but not US citizens) is estimated. From this figure, the total number of legally present immigrants is subtracted using administrative data and assumptions. The residual represents the size of the unauthorized immigrant population. This paper will identify a specific issue related to immigration and develop a possible policy recommendation to address the identified issue.
