Study: 55,000 people work illegally in Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE - Wisconsin is home to an estimated 85,000 people who immigrated illegally, three-fourths of them from Mexico.

That's according to a new study released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center. It focuses on illegal immigration from 2009 to 2012.

The study says illegal immigration has been largely stable nationwide since 2009. It had declined during the recession after peaking in 2007 at 12.2 million people.
