Despite concerns that the undocumented immigrant population in Texas is growing, it’s remained stable in recent years reports theTexas Tribune. 

In fact, more than half of the state’s undocumented immigrants have lived in Texas for more than 10 years according to data from the Migration Policy Institute.

Texas has the second-largest undocumented immigrant population in the country—about 1.5 million people.  California has about twice as many.
