Parents who are Illegal Immigrants in the US
Immigration - In all, 5.5 million children living in the United States have parents who are illegal immigrants, an increase of 1.2 million children since 2003, the report found. Nearly 7 percent of students in public elementary and secondary schools are children of illegal immigrants, the report said.
About one-third of children of illegal immigrants live in poverty, nearly double the 18 percent poverty rate for children of United States citizens, the report found. In 2007, the median household income for illegal immigrants was $36,000, substantially below the $50,000 median for citizens.
The report found signs that the rapid upward mobility long associated with new immigrants had stalled for the current generation of illegal immigrants. In contrast to other immigrants, the report said, undocumented immigrants do not attain markedly higher incomes the longer they live in the United States.
