Illegal Immigration is the act of immigrating to a country without having the right to do so.
Conservatives oppose illegal immigration because it allows for immigrants to fall between the cracks of society thus making them more likely to commit crime or experience poverty. Illegal immigration is also damaging to countries because "illegals" will often work illegally for below minimum wage, resulting in job loss for legal citizens.
