Abstract
Immigration has existed in the United States since decades, and even centuries. This is not
something that is new. Foreign people feel the need to immigrate and stay in the U.S. in order to
pursue a better life, such as different or more job opportunities, a better salary, an education that
will last a lifetime, security and peace of mind, and more. There are two types of immigration:
legal and illegal. Legal immigration consists of obtaining a green card in order to be able to
reside permanently in the U.S., while illegal immigration is residing in the U.S. without
permission, thus making it a crime to do so. Currently, illegal immigration is viewed as if it was
the most evil crime ever. Many people dont realize what caused illegal immigrants to leave their
countries and come to ours, so they should realize that by helping them stay here, they will help
the U.S. become an even better country.

something that some people fail to see, they dont realize that illegal immigrants are trying to the
same lives that theyre living, by having a decent salary, a good education, and security.
Why is Illegal Immigration a Problem?
Illegal immigration is a problem because, while it poses no problem to the
economy of the U.S., it hurts the security of our country. Illegal immigrants arent the ones who
cause the countrys security to decline, but it is the fact that our borders are so open that anyone
can come in, not just illegal immigrants that are simply looking for a better life. Drug traffickers
and terrorists may come into the country and we may not even notice this.
