source?
Sorry if I do not understand how to use this, precisely. Didn't want to edit. This seems like a biased statement and has no source.
"Some campaigns discourage the use of the term illegal immigrant, generally based on the argument that the act of immigrating illegally does not make the people themselves illegal, but rather they are "people who have immigrated illegally." 172.116.60.189 (talk) 06:38, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Bias in the article favoring illegal immigration
This article seems highly biased and overwhelmingly favors the legalization of illegal immigration and open borders, victimizing illegal immigrants, and has a one-sided emphasis of their contributions and potential contributions. This is ignoring not just the fairness of the immigration process but also the illegal immigration-induced housing shortages, the burden on public services, and other issues.
There also appears to be a lack of mentions of illegal immigrants committing severe crimes due to the borders not being properly regulated and them abusing birthright citizenship to allow their children to become US citizens (millions of illegal migrants’ children became native citizens and enjoy access to public services using this loophole). It also has no mentions about illegal immigrants who are unemployed often receiving support from sanctuary cities and adding up more burdens to the public services in the United States.

- Without commenting on whether the article is balanced or not, I would just note that this article is about the topic of illegal immigration in general, not illegal immigration to the United States. Including too much detail about any one country would be undue. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:56, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- illegal immigration to the United States has its own article. Dimadick (talk) 11:23, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- Both articles overwhelmingly use pro-illegal immigration research results and deny other studies regardless. They both try everything they could to persuade the readers to support the legalization by arguing the perceived moral and economic “benefits” for legalization LeonChrisfield (talk) 14:57, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- If there are reliable sources that you think aren't reflected in the articles, you're welcome to add them. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:16, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately you're right, according to this article criminal groups of illegal immigrants (although they aren't in large numbers) don't exist and have never existed. JacktheBrown (talk) 18:05, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Train image
Template:Ping The image is supposed to represent dangerous crossing, that being what the section is about, that being different and dangerous routes immigrants often use. The image shows people from Central America migrating to Mexico via train hopping. So representative of the section. Des Vallee (talk) 19:13, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- If someone else agrees, proceed to restore this image. JacktheBrown (talk) 19:21, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Agree HudecEmil (talk) 19:32, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Restoring the image therefore. Des Vallee (talk) 20:01, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
