There are approximately 1.4 million immigrants currently in the United States who might meet the requirements of the deferred action initiative, either now or when they are older.
Just thought it was be interesting read as DHS has kept its silence.

What surprise me is that Michigan ranked 20. There are only 2 people I know from this forum who are from Michigan, so where is all my illegal brothers?

Yes, I'm also wondering, as they're stating exact numbers. How the hell?

Methodology Used by Rob Paral and Associates

Estimating Immigration Status of Countries and Regions of Origin
- Develop estimates of unauthorized populations for 10 countries of origin from the Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; develop five-year estimate using 2006-2010 annual reports from OIS.
- Develop estimates of unauthorized populations for residual world regions based on the 2010 OIS report.
-Tabulate numbers of foreign-born noncitizens for these same 10 countries and residual world regions using the American Community Survey (ACS) 2006-2010 Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS).
-Estimate rate of unauthorized immigrants in the ACS data by dividing the OIS unauthorized numbers by ACS 2006-2010 PUMS noncitizen estimates. Use country- and region-specific rates to re-weight PUMS records of noncitizens.

Define Persons Potentially Eligible
-Determine universe of persons potentially eligible for deferred action by using eligibility specifications described in Secretary Napolitano memorandum of June 15, 2012.
-Tabulate ACS data by country/region of origin, age, school enrollment, educational attainment, citizenship and year of entry to the United States to correspond to the policy memorandum.

it's not exact number, as all of them end at zero. Just really accurate estimations.

and then here.

Allocate State Estimates to Congressional Districts

- Allocate state-level estimates by country and region of origin to Congressional Districts on the following bases:
- For all countries and regions excluding Mexico, proportionally allocate into Congressional Districts on basis of foreign-born population by country/region, using 2006-2010 ACS data.
- For Mexico only, the ACS provides summary-level data on period of entry by citizenship. - Estimated unauthorized Mexican noncitizens aged 5-14 were allocated on basis of noncitizen - Mexicans who arrived since year 2000. Estimated unauthorized Mexican noncitizens aged 15-30 were allocated on basis of noncitizen Mexicans who arrived in the 1990s. These periods were chosen based on analysis of median year of entry for these age cohorts at the national level; -Mexican noncitizens aged 5-14 have a median entry year of 2000, and those aged 15-30 have a median year of 1995.
