Happy to share that my new article in Demography with @vanhookjenny.bsky.social that documents population dynamics and implications of the aging of the undocumented immigrant population in the US.
In a new Demography article with @marasheftel.bsky.social we document the aging of the undocumented immigrant population. Half of undocumented Asians and one in five undocumented Mexicans are 50 or older, and now entering older adulthood without a safety net.
