The term overstay, as used in this paper, refers to undocumented residents who entered the United States with valid temporary visas and subsequently established residence without authorization. The term EWI refers to undocumented residents who entered without proper immigration documents across the southern border. The estimates are based primarily on detailed estimates of the undocumented population in 2014 compiled by CMS and estimates of overstays for 2015 derived by DHS. Major findings include the following: - In 2014, about 4.5 million US residents, or 42 percent of the total undocumented population, were overstays. - Overstays accounted for about two-thirds (66 percent) of those who arrived (i.e., joined the undocumented population) in 2014. - Overstays have exceeded EWIs every year since 2007, and 600,000 more overstays than EWIs have arrived since 2007. http://cmsny.org/publications/jmhs-visa-overstays-border-wall/
