Description
Summary:Presents estimates of the number of undocumented aliens included in the April 1983 Current Population Survey. The methodology is similar to that used by Warren and Passel (1987) with the 1980 census. Comparison of the April 1983 estimate with the census-based estimate and the November 1979 survey-based estimate provide an indication of growth in the undocumented alien population for 1980-83. For this recent period, the implied annual growth in the undocumented alien population is in the range of 100,000 to 300,000. (Abstract amended)
