Illegal immigration into the United States of America is a rampant problem that the government spends millions of dollars to stamp out

This discusses the issue about illegal immigration into the United States of America along the Mexican-USA b , the issue affecting the security at the b , what the governments of both the USA and Mexico are doing about the problem , the emerging issues , legal challenges humanitarian crisis , the attitude of the residents from both countries as well as
