Here in Texas we have a problem with illegal immigrants coming over the border from Mexico. There are several reasons for this. One is that they can make more money over here. However they usually get undesireable jobs. Another is that we have better communities and housing. Illegal immigration angers people because it takes away jobs from Americans. The government tries to deal with this by deporting illegal immigrants that they discover. They also built a fence all along the southern border. They also have checkpoints and guards all along it. This has somewhat decreased the problem not gotten rid of it.

Another problem having to do with immigrants is when they come over have children who are American citizens and then get deported. The children are stuck in America until the parents can arrange for them to get to Mexico.
