   AI Overview   
   As of 2016, the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area had an estimated 475,000   
   undocumented immigrants. More recent estimates for Texas as a whole indicate   
   there are approximately 1.7 million undocumented immigrants in the state, with   
   significant populations    
   residing in major urban areas like Dallas. The Dallas metro area is one of the   
   top areas in the U.S. for undocumented residents.   
   Total Immigrant Population (Dallas): As of 2019, 1.3 million immigrants lived   
   in Dallas, with 828,000 non-citizens (including legal and undocumented   
   residents).   
   Regional Context: Texas has one of the highest shares of unauthorized   
   immigrants in the U.S. at 14.3%.   
   Enforcement: In fiscal year 2020, ICE ERO Dallas conducted 14,630   
   administrative arrests, with 97% of those individuals having a criminal   
   history.   
   Data indicates that undocumented immigrants make up a significant   
   portion of the workforce in the Dallas area, particularly in   
   construction and hospitality.
