The security, economy, and social fabric of the United States of America is seriously threatened by individuals who are illegally in this country. They are undocumented, live in the shadows in the country. The number of illegal immigrants currently in the States is uncertain. Estimates range from nearly 12 million (Pew Hispanic Research Cen- ter, 2008), to 13 million (Federation for American Immigration Reform, 2007), up to 20 million (Bear Stearns Report, January 2005). It is also not known just who these people are, exactly where they came from or what their intentions might be. Amnesty is on of the biggest policies and it has led to problems with immigration.
