This is a very controversial issue to people. Some people come over to the United States to have a better life, others come over to sell illegal recreational drugs and other things to people. Someone who comes over illegally is willing to take a job such as being a janitor for little pay because they are making more to support their families. In Mexico, the minimum wage is 66.45 pesos ($4.05 U.S Dollars), while the minimum wage here in Arizona is $8.05. Those people just want to do what's right for their family. If immigration was an easier process, we may not have as many issues with immigration. However, as previously stated, not everyone who comes to the United States has the purest of intentions. “Most of the border area consists of inhospitable desert and steep mountain ranges, which are sparsely populated, infrequently patrolled by law enforcement, and ideal for drug smuggling. Arizona serves primarily as a drug importation and transshipment state. Drug smuggling and transportation are dominated by major Mexican trafficking organizations. These groups are poly-drug organizations smuggling cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin and precursor chemicals.” (Friends of Narconon). Drug trafficking is something that leads to death. Someone, one who has nothing to do with the issue, may become a victim because they got in the way. Someone may run out of money to pay for the drugs and be killed. Someone could overdose. Drugs lead to poor decisions which is why the border is such a political issue. There are organizations, such as Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, whose sole purpose is to reduce illegal trafficking and use of drugs throughout
