Answer to question on text
Describe the USA‘s policy towards illegal immigrants in 2010 and explain why this hasn’t worked so far.
In 2010 the United States of America's (complete name at first- later you can replace it with a personal pronoun) policy towards illegal immigrants was based on having more police and border patrol to keep illegal aliens (avoid repetitions) from entering the country (use synonym instead of repeating "the USA"). That policy, however (don't start a sentences with "but" in written English), was not as successful as the government had hoped because most people had already immigrated before 2000 on legal visitor visas, which they simply overstayed. Because of them already living within the USA, strengthening the border protection in 2010 did not make a dent in the high number of undocumented immigrants.
