Wisconsin's Work Force Consists Of Two Percent Undocumented Immigrants
The Badger State's undocumented immigrants account for up to two percent of Wisconsin's 5.5 million residents as indicated from census polls .
The Pew Hispanic Center says the state has 75,000 to 115,000 illegal immigrants. The estimate puts Wisconsin at number 21 among states in terms of immigrant population.
These undocumented immigrants in Wisconsin tend to work in hotels, cleaning services, canning or meat industries, farms, construction, landscaping, home repair and roofing. Most are from Mexico but there are others from other countries as well.
Experts say the state's proximity to Chicago has driven a recent increase in the population. Chicago is a major immigration destination.
