Documenting a New Landscape for the Undocumented

As the landscape of undocumented immigrants is being evened out, the number of immigrants living in the shadows is dwindling as well.  This is painting a different perspective on the group of 11 million or so. A new study done by the Pew Research Center, "found that half of nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants have lived here for at least 13 years and as many as 4 million have U.S.-born children." This is good news for the parents of those U.S.-born children because they might benefit from President Obama's plan on immigration.  An executive order much like DACA--Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals--could bring temporary relieve about 36% of the immigrant population.
