What are the consequences of illegal immigration?

Illegal immigration can have a range of consequences, both for the individuals involved and for the countries they choose to enter illegally. In the short term, illegal immigrants may face exploitation, discrimination, and a lack of access to basic services or legal protections. For host countries, illegal immigration can put a strain on public resources and infrastructure, increase crime rates, and create social tensions. On the other hand, many argue that illegal immigrants bring valuable skills, labor, and diversity to the countries in which they settle, and that strict immigration policies can be costly and ineffective in addressing larger economic or political issues. Balancing these competing interests is an ongoing challenge for policymakers and communities affected by illegal immigration.
