Day 16: Undocumented Americans
Undocumented Americans is a term used by Define American to define individuals living in the U.S. without the proper paperwork. Living in the U.S. without legal authorization (unlawful presence) is a civil offense, while improper entry (crossing the border), is a misdemeanor. It should be noted that because many undocumented immigrants arrived legally, they have not committed a crime.
