illegal immigration.


Illegal immigration has been a issue for years in the United States. This picture shows a guy climbing the fence that was built on the border of Mexico and the United States. He's the only one brave enough to come close to the fence and actually climb it in hopes of making it to the other side. It's illegal to cross the border, and he obviously knows there is a better life that awaits him on the other side of the fence. He doesn't seem to have any fear climbing the fence knowing he's breaking the law and could face major consequences. Below him you can see a dog; he doesn't have any belongings with him. Obviously he's looking for a new start, a new life. He has brought nothing with him, even leaving the dog behind. His only goal is to get across the border and begin his new adventure. Crazy fact about this picture is that two executives who were trying to stop immigrants from crossing the border, hired illegal immigrants to build the actual fence. One of the main reasons we have so many immigrants is because there are many illegal jobs and companies who are willing to hire undocumented workers. Companies also know that immigrants are willing to work for low wages, saving them more money and putting the immigrants out to do hard Jobs that many Americans wouldn't do. The government is making illegal immigration such a big deal, but one of the main problem is companies who are hiring undocumented workers.
