What is the difference between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants?

[Nick Young]

Can some one please tell me the difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration?

In a country, let's say the United States for this example, what is the difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal immigrant?


ISH wants to know.

[9erempiree]

Don't be so racist.

[Nick Young]

Does anyone know why American immigration laws exist? Why were they written?

Anyone?

[ALBballer]

No such thing as illegal immigration bruh since we are all illegal immigrations.

[nathanjizzle]

papers are the only difference.

papers are the only difference.

Didn't the ones with papers also cross the borders legally?

It seems like the ones without papers all violated international and US law by crossing the border unvetted without a visa to enter the country.


Why do these immigrants who wish to settle in America sneak in to the country illegally instead of following the rules? If they want to live in a country, they need to follow the laws of that country.

going through the process of being legally approved, back ground checks and the like.

What about border crossing? Do legal immigrants and illegal immigrants do it differently?
