//Illegal Immigrants:a foreigner who enters the U.S. without an entry or immigrant visa, esp. a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or who overstays the period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson.// (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/illegal+immigrants)

Since the later half of the 20th century illegal immigrants have been a problem.

The first time anyone was ever prohibited from entering the United States was in 1875. According to the federal law of 1875 prostitutes and convicts were not allowed in the United States. By 1882 practically all Chinese people were banned from America. Although these situations were completely unconstitutional, these facts are just here to show that immigration to America does have rules, even in 1875.  By 1926 according to a newspaper article people from Mexico and Canada began coming into the state of California illegally. How? By simply not paying the $18.00 fee to become a citizen. Once the 1940's rolled around business began to use Mexicans in what would seem to be a "sweat shop." This was called the Bracero-Program. While no sweat shop is a good sweat shop, there is a positive side, Mexicans could come to America in a situation that made them legal to be in the United States. Obviously Mexicans working in the United States for cheaper than Americans caused a loss of jobs for Ameircans. In 1964 the Bracero Program came to an end. Making the Mexicans have to deport. However by this time 4.8 million Mexicans were involved in the program. Unfortuanetly Mexicans began to then illegally come back to America and get jobs, taking them away from U.S. citizens.

Today it is not so easy to come into America illgally, however it does happen. Jobs are taken everyday from U.S. citizens in our failing economy. Yes life is better in America, but America has rules.
