According to the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research organization, there were approximately 11.2-million illegal immigrants living in the United States in 2010. Of that 11.2-million, about 2.1-million were adolescents or young adults that were brought here by their parents, according to the Migration Policy Institute which is a non-profit think tank. Illegal immigration has been a hot-button issue in the country for years and has spanned several election cycles.
