Typical immigrants without legal status or documentation are mostly under the radar, working legitimate jobs with expired visas (they arrived legally, they stay illegally). They pay taxes, they do their jobs, they come home, kiss their spouses and kids, have dinner, and do it all again the next day. THAT is the "typical" activity.
What you are describing is the A-typical. The same can be said for legal citizens of the USA. Typical activity for most of us in this country is to work, have families, pay taxes, get an education of some kind or another, and live our lives without much to-do. The A-typical among us commit crimes, some of them horrific.

Unfortunately this, IMHO, is muddying the waters. The predominant issue at hand is the number of uncontrolled immigrants
currently attempting to enter the country. This is not to say that there isn't a concern by some regarding all immigrants who are not here legally.
I am still waiting to hear what other types of immigration there are besides controlled and uncontrolled that was previously alluded.
Unfortunately moving forward to solve the issue may be a hope and never a reality. Statistics are challenged when they don't meet an agenda, people are grouped based upon their position about people who come here illegally. Policies and practices regarding uncontrolled immigration that were practiced on
BOTH sides of the aisle are convienently ignored by one side as it doesn't fit an agenda. HELLO, all citizens of the US should be upset and working toward a common goal. How will this ever happen when people, even on this discussion board, insist on their agenda and not a common beneficial endpoint?
