An illegal alien is an alien who has entered the U.S. or some other country in violation of the law. An alien is any person, who is not a citizen, but is not necessarily a person who is entering the U.S. or some other country illegally. Different countries have different opportunities for persons with or without skills to earn higher wages than they would receive for the same work in their own countries. If illegal aliens can double their pay, they have a strong incentive to remain in the country, even though they have an illegal status.
