Undocumented immigrants aren't permitted but they're mostly used as a tool to look strong in front of voters. These people do jobs that Americans typically don't want to do for amounts that Americans don't want to work for.
These people get rounded up when they get discovered and they get sent back (usually after a stay in a prison). It's theatre and it's particularly cruel to people who just want to work and mind their own business. Immigrants commit crimes far below the average of American citizens. They're not here to have fun, they're here to work shitty jobs and send money to their families.
In reality, the only way to stop undocumented people from coming over here, is to take away their work opportunities. That will never happen though because the people who EMPLOY these people are not punished for hiring undocumented workers illegally. There's never any criminal charges, and any civil fines are less than the money they'd make employing these people, so if a company gets raided, it's just the cost of business.

The fact that use use a term like undocumented immigrants just shows everything.
They're illegal. In a country by breaking laws that govern how people come to country.
This isn't hard stuff.
