8. South Korea
Undocumented population: 192,000
Despite the fact that South Korea is a first world country with a bustling economy and an excellent education system, many people simply want to leave the country no matter what the consequences, which is why illegal migration to the US has boomed. This is mainly due to the fact that competition in the country is so cutthroat, even highly educated citizens can face strict competition for places and might even remain unemployed for a while. A large number of illegal immigrants in the US has drawn concern from the country’s own newspapers, regarding their imminent deportation.
