Illegal immigration to the United States refers to the act of foreign nationals violating U.S. immigration policies and national laws by entering or remaining in the United States without proper permission from the United States government. The alien population remaining unlawfully is estimated to be about 11 million people, down from a historic peak of 12.5 million people in 2007. According to a Pew Hispanic Center report, in 2005, 57% of illegal immigrants were from Mexico, 24% were from other Latin American countries, primarily from Central America, 9% were from Asia, 6% were from Europe, and 4% were from the rest of the world.

GNU Free Documentation License What are the current United States immigration policies? Q. If you have no idea, or are just going to make snide remarks, hit the back button and find some place else. What are some ideas being proposed to stop illegal immigration, if there are any at all. How do the Liberals view immigration? How do the Conservatives view immigration? What about you? What are your thoughts? Again, snide, unintelligent answers aren't appreciated. Thanks, guys for your answers. Sorry if I came off sort of rude. I've asked political questions before and gotten some pretty dumb replies. Asked by Lost_In_Fiction - Wed Jan 30 18:28:37 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Dani is correct. The USA policy is no more than 1000 per month from any country... that's legal entry. That means many people from abroad have been standing in line from ten years and more for legal status. Immigration is one topic...ILLEGAL aliens and ILLEGAL alien entries and residency are totally different subjects. I find it offensive when the 2 are lumped together. LEGAL immigrants ARE outraged that illegal proponents have blurred the lines in the public mind. It's not fair to these law abiding people to lump their situation in with those engaging in illegal activities. Not fair at all.

Answered by BettyBoop - Tue Jun 5 15:36:45 2007 Are there too many illegal immigrants in the United States?
Q. I have a idea to stop the immigration. They immigrate for jobs right? If they cant find work they wont come here. Stop the people who hire illegals and the illegals will stop coming, right? So a proposition to congress to pass a law - Anyone who hires illegal immigrant workers will be deported to the country of the person they hired (with the illegal) make one trip. Hiring of illegal immigration hurts the natural job and WAGE market. If people don't work a low paying jobs for a tedious undesirable job (then the pay must not be high enough) IT must rise until the job becomes desireable! How can someone make a living off 6.00 an hour? Wait, they can, if they live 30 people to a house. Solutions - Vamanos! Asked by Mark M - Mon Jun 18 13:20:20 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. My response solves both my gas and illegal immigrant problems...I have hired illegal immigrants to push my car. They're plentiful and cheaper than buying gas. Then I pay them in Pesos so they have to go home to spend it. Don't you love it when a plan comes together?
