undocumented immigration

Undocumented immigration refers to people entering or living in a country without official permission or legal authorization. These individuals typically cross borders without proper documentation or overstay their visas. This often occurs due to economic opportunities, family reunification, or fleeing difficult conditions in their home countries. While they contribute to communities and economies, their status makes them ineligible for certain public services and protections. Governments address undocumented immigration through policies, enforcement, and immigration laws, aiming to balance border security with humanitarian concerns.
