In Wake County, undocumented residents question whether to report crimes because doing so might lead to their deportation.

Abstract:

Illegal immigration is suppressing wages in North Carolina, but it is also creating new undercuts, which help businesses flourish. Without Hispanics, the state economy would come to a standstill because people would pay more for foreign goods rather than make them in the United States.
