Illegal Immigration - the problem is...
It's hard to understand why the law doesn't prevail...
In the Providence Journal, James C. Sheehan discusses the obstacles:
"While 72 percent of Americans believe it is 'very important' to reduce illegal immigration and enforce the borders (Rasmussen, 2007), this law is not being effectively enforced. If Americans overwhelmingly support effective border control and controlling illegal immigration, why has our government not adequately enforced national immigration law? The answer is simple — an unusual collection of special interest groups have worked successfully to prevent the proper enforcement of immigration laws."
