What Is The Problem Of Illegal Immigration

There are approximately 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States. These immigrants possess no documents and crossed the US border illegally. Many of the undocumented immigrants are coming from Mexico and South America. About 56% of the immigrants are from Mexico alone while the rest are distributed evenly among South American countries like Honduras, Panama, and Guatemala. Along with them they bring many different problems such as increased gang violence in the United States, and various drug trafficking complications. Drugs are a huge problem; many underground tunnels have been found along the border. Another problem with undocumented immigrants is that they don’t pay taxes. According to fairus.org, “Illegal immigrants cost U.S taxpayers
Well news flash the Canadian and Mexican border isn’t the only way in. Actually many people try and float their way across the border on makeshift rafts and simple inner tubes. It is not as easy as it sounds, however, because if you're caught, different penalties will take effect depending on how far from the border you are. Many of the people living on the islands on the Gulf of Mexico are refugees who go for the easiest way possible to getting into the U.S. which is Florida’s pinnacle. Miami has the most illegal immigrants from the island countries. 53% of unauthorized immigrants come in through Florida, Texas, New York, and California, because that is the quickest way for them to get into the U.S. When the U.S. forces people out of the country it is pretty hard on them because they would have to pay for the immigrants ticket out of the country. A solution to this problem is to put extra surveillance on those major illegal immigration sites. If we have extra coast guard enforcing immigration laws in those states (Florida, Texas, New York, California), then fewer people can sneak into the U.S. Also when we have fewer unauthorized immigrants coming in, fewer immigrants will have to be

They didn’t come from Mexico as one might expect; rather arriving in huge numbers from countries like Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. The refugees are fleeing apocalyptic gang violence. Honduras in particular is now the murder capital of the world with Mexico not far behind. Additionally, some people reportedly have gotten the idea that the U.S. government is now treating immigrant children more leniently. One solution to the problem might be to end the drug war that is currently raging in Latin America. The gang violence is the direct result of the drug war; gangs fight to control the supply of drugs into and out of the country. Ending the drug war could involve many different policies, but the key to limit the spread of gang violence is to remove drug supply from the control of criminal gangs. This means tougher laws and more thorough searches in the Latin American countries. Many families have been forced to move from their houses and have been uprooted from their culture because of this violence, and it must be stopped at all
