 * Summary on thoughts of effects of Immigration today:**

Immigrants are coming into the U.S illegally and it is making the government of all states, especially the southern west region. They are many cases of human snuggling which is strictly prohibited. Agencies such as the ICE are on the case of investigating the snugglers so that they will be punished and put into jail/fined. Also policemen shooting immigrants who cross the border illegally, mostly when it is from Mexico heading into the U.S, is terribly shameful to their nation's people. The actions that these immigrants are doing are hurting other peolpe, not just them. They are putting the agency officials in danger and the people snuggling them and those who led them into the country.
