There is an interesting article about the number of legal and illegal immigration to the
USA. The article also talks about the security enforcement at the US borders. From the article:
“ The US is a nation of immigrants – and of ever changing immigration policy. Depending on where you stand, immigrants bring great diversity and a much needed labor force to our nation – or they take jobs from citizens and create poverty and a drain on social services. Illegal immigration – particularly from Mexico – presents the most pressing policy questions today with some politicians advocating an amnesty for Mexican workers, and others, including President Bush, proposing guest worker status as an alternative. “
