Illegal Immigration


When you think hear Mexico you most likely think of resorts and clear blue waters, but it's not all nice resorts and blue waters.  Mexico actually has a lot of very poor and corrupt areas, not exactly a nice place to raise a family.  Don't get me wrong, Mexico is beautiful, but at some places there are small tin roofed shacks stretched as far as the eye can see, shacks that people and families reside in.  This is part of the reason why some of the people leave or have left valuables, homes, and even loved ones behind in Mexico so they can go to America in search for a better life, or a better life for their children. In America their children automatically are United States citizens if they are born here. 

They come and live in America several different illegal ways.  Some hike to the border where there isn't alot of border patrol there and they wait for the right time to climb and enter the US territory, but over the past decade the border has improvised.  They have more than just border patrol vehicles driving up and down the border line of Mexico and the US.  They also have cameras in the hot spots, or the most popular crossing sites.  The aliens also get into the US by homemade wooden boats and cross the Atlantic ocean where they can then enter into America.  They also have been known to cram in boxcars, shipping containers, or trucks and paying off corrupt authority or smugglers to get them into America.  There are many more ways they migrate illegally into the US.  Once in America they look for "low skilled jobs", jobs that don't attract alot of employees and are really labor intensive.  Even though hiring illegal immigrants is breaking the law, some employers do so they can save money by not paying them as much as state laws require.  The illegal immigrants then save that money and sometimes go back to Mexico and live wealthy or bring the money back to their families so they can afford more.  However, it might be the only way they can get out of poverty.
