The problem arises in the fact that jails have a capacity limit and in many cases are already overcrowded. Despite the overcrowding of jails, illegal criminals, along with all criminals, are still placed in these facilities. Since the government does not have extra money set aside for these types of actions, the taxpayers are the ones that pay the price. Finding a solution to such a huge problem dealing with a large population is very difficult. When searching for a solution one must realize that illegal immigration will not suddenly come to a halt, but will hopefully decrease on an average percent every year until eventually it can be controlled.
Many people suggest tightening down on laws and hiring more workers to help with border control.
Border control will lesson the number of illegal immigrants but even it no illegal aliens enter the country on foot, the numbers will still be too high. Aliens that come into the country on visas for work and vocational occupations often overstay their expiration, and unless these aliens are involved and caught in criminal activities, it is virtually impossible to deport them. To really control illegal immigration, America not only needs to secure the borders, but also has to develop a system to keep track of aliens that are in the country by way of visas, whether is be through work or vacation. The point is that illegal immigration is a growing problem in the United States, and that something serious must be done in the near future to ensure our children a safe environment to live. Congress has to put their foot down and realize that by controlling illegal immigration or at least getting a grasp on it will help America out in many ways.
