Based on estimates, there are approximately 20 million illegal immigrants in the united states, and vast majority of them cross the US-Mexico boundary by various prohibited and oftentimes inhumane means. As there is a difficulty in tracking down the number of illegal aliens, the number can be much more than what was projected.

What does this mean to Americans? The perception will change based on political leanings and affiliations, as well as the tendency to look at problems with an open mind. The issue isn't only about branding immigrants as ilor legal as there are far more issues than simply labelling.

We have heard anti groups lobby against illegal immigrants, citing a variety of reasons, chief of which is the emptying of tax-based sources being used by these immigrants. They also highlight this "drain" cost taxpayers billions of dollars yearly. Another problem they raised is that of the perceived effects on the working class as the illegal immigrants take away job opportunities from the middle class because the former are willing to accept reduced salaries. The list continues on and a number of the reasons are already hinting on issues that might be misconstrued as racist opinions. It would be difficult to say where the proponents of anti illegal immigration are getting facts and if their facts are all free from emotional attachments and sentiments bordering on bigotry and racism. While there are definite negative ramifications of illegal immigrants, there are also prohibited immigrants pros that Americans should be aware of so that they don't quickly pass decision based on some unsubstantiated claims. Educating Americans on this matter is important in the light of the rigorous Arizona law that needs all immigrants to carry their registration documents wherever they go. This is indeed profiling is prevented and lawmakers from other countries can look past race when inventing prohibited laws.
