Preferred term

children of undocumented immigrants  

Definition

  • As of 2008, undocumented immigrants made up roughly 4% of the adult population of the United States. Due to the youth and relatively high birthrates of this population, their children represent about 7% of the children under the age of 18 and roughly one third of all children of immigrants.
