Illegal Immigrants in California

According to U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (CIS), an estimated 2,209,000 illegal immigrants
resided in California in 2000, up from 1,476,000 in 1990. This number represented about 32 percent of the
entire estimated illegal immigrant population in the United States (then estimated to be about seven million).
CIS estimated that about 6.5 percent of California's population in 2000 were illegal immigrants, with a
majority being from Mexico. Across the entire United States, an estimated 4.8 million illegal immigrants
were from Mexico, up from two million in 1990.

Los Angeles County

If 6.5 percent of California's population were illegal immigrants and this percentage were applied to Los
Angeles County, at previous estimated rates of illegal immigration, there would have been close to 800,000
illegal immigrant residents in Los Angeles County by 2005 (with about 320,000 in the City of Los Angeles).
Accounting for the magnet that Los Angeles has been for illegal immigration, the Almanac suggests an
estimated illegal immigrant population closer to one million  in Los Angeles County (with close to 400,000
in the City of Los Angeles).  We further estimate this population, if illegal immigration continues unabated,
to grow to 1.3 million by the year 2010.
