Definition

  • Problems related to undocumented persons are exacerbated in the global era due to the easy mobility of peoples, labor migrations, and massive demographic shifts. The situation in the United States, which is the subject of this entry, is repeated in many parts of the world where large groups of new immigrants have challenged traditional notions of state sovereignty.
