Cool! Is there a paper available?

True, but most Americans don’t know what our immigration laws actually are if they say “just come legally” as if anyone could do that. If more knew what the laws were, there might be greater political desire to change them.

Typically within a 3 month window the response rate for a single monthly survey time improves to 90% which is why there are ongoing rolling revisions that are rarely as large as the downward 258K revision in June.
