Scenario for Analysis: Immigration

Each day, there are numerous crossings at the Texas (US/Mexico) border. Individuals come from various countries, including Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, China, India, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cuba, Korea, and others. Reasons for crossing include seeking economic opportunities, reuniting with family members, seeking safety from threats or persecution, or experiencing life in another country. In some cases, individuals engage in activities that are against the law, such as drug trafficking or human trafficking.

Entering the United States without official authorization or documentation is considered a violation of immigration law. Many individuals take this risk because they believe the potential benefits, such as safety or better opportunities for themselves and their families, outweigh the potential consequences.
