Why Do Immigrants Face Challenges?

          Today, we were haded out yet another packet of an article and there were lots of new definitions for some unknown words. The first new word that I came across was, unauthorized immigrant, undocumented immigrant and illegal alien. In all honesty, I had no idea there was a difference but, there actually is. An unauthorized immigrant is the term that is preferred for academic and educational use. Undocumented immigrant is used by the groups of people that advocate for them to have more rights. The illegal alien is what is used by people that want the enforcement of immigration to be tougher. Each of these terms all deal with a person coming into the country from a different one without following proper steps however, I had no idea that the one that you use could imply your beliefs. There were a lot of other facts in this article too but in my personal opinion, I thought this was the most alarming thing.
