The Proposal The number of illegal immigrants in the United States is at 11 Million and has decreased but is still well over then what it should be. The calculations of illegal immigrants show that 56% are from Mexico. The United States has tried to decrease these numbers and try to make it much more safe then what it is now, but do not want to spend any more money then what we have already spent.

However, if it is reversed then there isn’t any incentive for Mexicans to immigrate to the U.S. Another factor is safety as the trip to U.S is fairly dangerous especially those who are traveling through Mexico have to deal with drug cartels. Another large influence is crime as it becomes increasingly more dangerous to get to the U.S through Mexico because of drug cartels.
