Critical Thinking Undocumented workers are workers that have fled their native country to find better work opportunities in other countries. These people leave their homes due to there being no opportunities for them where they currently live. A majority of the reasons these people leave their homes has nothing to do “beating” the system and not because they don’t love their country.

“Sneaking into a country does not make you an immigrant any more than breaking into a house makes you part of the family,” (thesentinel.org, 2014, 1). I can say that this is very true.

The U.S. workforce includes an abundance of undocumented immigrants with around 8 million. That accounts for about 5% of those of which are working or looking for work.

The reality of the issue is that most illegal immigrants relocate to this country in hopes of a better life, away from the violence and poverty they’ve experienced in their home country. Of course there are illegal immigrants who come into the United States for the wrong reasons and commit violent crimes; however, it is just to assume the majority come to better themselves. Nonetheless, illegal immigration is an issue that has both negative and positive effects on the country and it is vital to address this problem in a way that doesn’t violate the foundation this country was built on and one that targets the issue straight…
