Why we checked itSpecific figures for the number of undocumented or unauthorized immigrants who entered during the Biden administration and settled in Colorado are verifiable and frequently disputed
What we foundThe '14 million' figure plausibly refers to the record unauthorized immigrant population in the U.S. as of 2023 per Pew Research Center, and 'hundreds of thousands' who came to Colorado is consistent with multiple sources estimating 200,000–230,000 unauthorized immigrants and ~320,000 net migrants to Colorado in recent years — though the exact context and intended referent of '14 million' remains ambiguous.
