Today in America there are about 12 million illegal immigrants, and that number is still growing by about 500,000 per year. Something needs to be done to keep some of the illegal immigrants out of the United States. The United States has an anti-immigration law called HR4437, which states that all undocumented workers will be considered criminals and that all business owners must check the social security numbers of their workers. This law also placed more security at all boarders and gave local and state police the power to enforce the anti-immigration law. But even this is not enough to stop all of the illegal immigrants coming to the United States each year. The immigrants come and take jobs away from Americans and can even bring in foreign diseases. Maybe one day the government will do something that will actually help with the constant increasing of illegal immigrants because so far they are not very effective.
