Undocumented immigrants, in accordance with the definition of the International Organization for Migration, are described as persons who enter or stay in a country without necessary documents. This includes the ones who have no legitimate documents to enter a country but manage to enter illegally, who enter using counterfeit documents, and who, after entering using appropriate documents, have overstayed or violated the conditions of entry and remain without authorization.
