For ages, the United States has seemed to be the country where people seek to move to for a better life. The United States was built on immigrants. People have always migrated to the United States both legally and illegally. The main problem the country has face with immigrants is the amount that trespass the border illegally. Illegal immigration is the unlawful act of crossing a national border(Illegal Immigration Pros and Cons). The illegal immigrant population keeps growing at an annual average of about 300,000 people(Currie 10).

This paper will define illegal immigration, explain how it is currently being handled in the United States, and show a process that could help control illegal immigration within the country and have a positive effect.

With the country moving towards a new administration and president, the country continues to have unsolved problems. One of which is the immigration system due to the inflow of illegal immigrants. Many individuals claim that it is best to capture these so-called “aliens” and deport them back to their country. However, individuals do not consider the current political turmoil that an illegal immigrant’s home country is facing.
