Yeah, but on the other hand, this method is probably undercounting the number of people here because certain groups...
don't want to be included and are probably trying to avoid being counted, although researchers do try to account for that in their estimates.

Not only that, but since Pew published its research, based on data from 2017, we know there's been a big increase in legal immigration.
So all in all, coming up with a good estimate figure for a group that might not want to be counted is very difficult.
