MPI is providing estimates of those who could potentially gain legal status under the various DREAM Act-type bills introduced in Congress in 2017, using an innovative methodology that permits the assignment of legal status in U.S. Census Bureau data. These estimates are discussed in detail in a fact sheet, Differing DREAMs: Estimating the Unauthorized Populations That Could Benefit under Different Legalization Bills.
