Immigration today has become the most talked about issue, as people struggle with claims and counter claims about how the society is changing. Time has come when there is a need to take back some sense of control of the borders of the country as well the life of people.

Currently, there are 11.3 million illegal immigrants in America, which has become a source of anger for the migrants. An immigration expert at the University of Southern California says that “There is a displacement of anxiety and they become the face of larger sources of tensions, such as terrorism, jobs, and dissatisfaction.”
