What is it about?
The paper details the dramatic, multi-year decline in the US undocumented population, driven largely by falling numbers of undocumented Mexican nationals, and the increasing proportion of people who overstay visas (rather than cross a border illegally) among newly undocumented residents.

Why is it important?
The paper argues for reform of the US legal immigration system in light of these trends, as a way both to align US immigration policies with US interests, and to further decrease the US undocumented population.
Perspectives
The trend identified in this paper has continued since its publication as a forthcoming CMS paper will demonstrate.
