Illegal Immigration and the Problems That Come with It
Illegal Immigration and the Problems That Come With It There are problems with our immigration system that our country needs to address. Even though some items are cheaper because of the cheaper wages paid to illegal immigrants, we need to take action on illegal immigration because of the jobs being taken by them and they are a drain on our state and government benefits. Our country strongly needs to put more security along the boarders and clean out this country of all illegal immigrants. Our country needs to close the boarders, do a clean sweep of the country, round up all the illegal immigrants, and deport them back to their country. People will argue against me on this point about how immigrants bring culture to this country. How they help to keep the cost of some items down because of the cheaper wages that are paid to them. They will also argue that they help to produce more crops for our country. Some will say this is inhumane and I do not have any compassion for them. Others will say that this is going against their civil rights and I’m going against what this country is founded on. First and foremost a legal immigrant is someone here on a work visa, green card and so on coming to this country. I do not have a problem with legal immigrants. I do understand that people want a change of life, pursuit of freedom, a better life for their family, but they need to do this legally. The reason for having them come to this country legally is that we can limit how populated this country gets, they pay taxes, and our government can weed out the ones that have committed serious crimes.
In the article “Two Ways to Belong to American” by Bharati Mukherjee she explains how she and her sister have lived in America for some 35 years. In which she conforms to the American ways and her sister still clings to her Indian heritage. They have debates about being a citizen of this country or not a lot. She says this “Long before Vice President Gore’s “Citizenship U.S.A.”
