    Not even a problem.

    Most studies of undocumented immigrants have them committing fewer crimes than the average US citizen. Most are beneficial to the economy because they get less out of taxes than they pay in through payroll taxes due to not being eligible for many government services.

    The only problem is how horrendous our immigration policies are that people feel the need to sneak in because the actual system for amnesty and becoming a citizen are so ridiculously complex and slow that risking their lives seems like a better option.

    Funding the agencies that process immigration and ditching the ridiculously low caps on how many people can immigrate each year would be an actual solution.
