Notes on Illegal Immigrants and Other Things Relating to Migration

     Some motives for a person to enter the United States illegally are the employment opportunities, family reunification, and a better way of life. Some residents of Northern Mexico wish for more leniency towards migrants, from the U.S., while some of those living in the south wish to lower the number of migrants from Guatemala into Mexico harshly. Some U.S. citizens want more effective border patrol, but do not wish to spend more money on it. Some other citizens recognize that Mexican immigrants take jobs that no citizen would take, therefore they support immigrants gaining citizenship. Some people believe that if law enforcement was allowed to check anyone's documents for any reason, it would infringe upon peoples' civil rights. More than one hundred locations in the U.S. strongly support the rights of illegal immigrants, and these places are known as "Sanctuary Cities".
