Most of the illegal immigrants come to the United States with improper documentation thinking that it is easier for them to get entry into the United States without tackling the processing time of the documents. This is because sometimes, from filing a petition for a legal status to getting approval and being able to work in the country legally may take months and even years in some cases. Some immigrants think that entering the country unlawfully is a quicker way and thus they can get into any low-end, unskilled jobs to earn money and send them back to the family.
