Undocumented immigrants are foreign nationals residing in a country without legal authorization, either by entering without inspection or by overstaying legally obtained visas. The vast majority enter into the US to escape severe poverty, violence, and political instability in their home countries. They hope to find a better live and opportunities for their families and themselves.
In the United States, an estimated 11 million undocumented individuals live and work in the country, contributing significantly to sectors like agriculture, construction, and hospitality.
