Analyst's note:  I'll just say as one who has traveled internationally extensively, try this is another country and see how far you get.  A nation that can not or will control its borders will not long survive.  Undocumented worker is PC for illegal immigrant.

 

"They are in the United States without documentation, and they are tired of hiding.

Over the past few weeks, a group of more than 30 housekeepers, day laborers, students and immigration activists has been making its way across the country in a ragtag caravan, chanting “no papers, no fear” and proudly declaring “I’m undocumented” in public gatherings.
