Public sources from advocacy and research groups provide the best available approximations, but numbers can vary and recent, precise counts by district aren't always available. For general context, the largest populations of undocumented immigrants are found in states like California, Texas, New York, and Florida, with some metro areas (such as greater Los Angeles and New York City) hosting *hundreds of thousands* each. For example, California’s District XX (Valadao) has a high immigrant share and likely tens of thousands of undocumented residents, while several New York City districts (Lawler, Espaillat, Gillen) are estimated to have significant undocumented populations—New York City overall has around XXXXXXX undocumented immigrants. Florida’s Miami-Dade (Salazar) also has a very large undocumented community, numbering in the tens of thousands per district. Most other sponsor/co-sponsor districts, especially those in smaller cities or rural states, will generally have much smaller undocumented populations, often measured in the low thousands or less. State-level totals can help provide rough scaling: for example, Nebraska (Bacon) is estimated to have about XXXXXX undocumented immigrants statewide, so a single district would hold a fraction of that. Due to lack of exact data by congressional district, here’s a rough, research-based estimate per district, using all available information: Miami-Dade (FL-27, Salazar): Likely 50,000+ undocumented residents NYC districts (Lawler NY-17, Espaillat NY-13, Gillen NY-04): Each likely 20,000–60,000 CA-22 (Valadao, Central Valley), CA-49 (Levin), CA-13 (Gray), CA-24 (Carbajal), CA-40 (Kim): Each 25,000–60,000, higher in urban/suburban areas TX-16 (Escobar, El Paso area): ~20,000–35,000 Other districts (PA-16, WA-04, CO-08, IN-03, NE-02, MI-03, NV-03, IL-13, MA-04): Likely ranges from 3,000–20,000, depending on urbanization and proximity to major cities or border regions Summing across all these districts, a reasonable estimate for the total number of undocumented immigrants residing across the XX districts represented by sponsors/co-sponsors of the Dignity Act (H.R. 4393) would be in the range of 400,000–700,000. These numbers should be considered approximate and based on the *best available public estimates*, since district-boundary-level data is not officially published and is mainly modeled by research groups.
