the government efforts to stop illegal immigration. The border patrol has increased especially for those areas where immigrants are coming from Central America. A bill was passed to allow illegal immigrants obtain green cards and become lawful citizens in specific cases, but the Republicans stopped the bill in hopes to create smaller bills and solve the problem a different way.
