The number of illegal immigrants living in the United States towers above 11 million. Once the immigrants are here, many bypass the system and fuse into American communities and neighborhoods. However, a great number of these immigrants depart from their home countries enveloped in corruption, extortion, and wars, in search of a better education and career. Additionally, it isn't easy for them to come into a country and face rejection and resentment. Many Americans do not try to picture themselves in immigrant's shoes and question what they would do.
