Immigrant women not only suffer when crossing the border, they also suffer after crossing the border. Since these women are not legal, they do not have access to state funded programs. For example, healthcare and housing. Detention centers are not are abusive although immigrant women would think they have a better life after the are released they still suffer abuse. Immigrant women are paying for over priced rooms for living with a lot of people living in the room. Many women get sexually assaulted and attacked when crossing the border and after crossing the border. Many immigrant mother's are on the verge of homelessness. When an immigrant mother gets detained their children get put in the foster system and the mother gets deported.
