immigration

Illegal immigration is a rising controversy in the United States. Whether they come from North America, South America, Africa or Asia. It affects people on both sides of the argument. Some here may say that Illegal immigrants cause problems such as significant population growth. This could lead to people who legally live here to come across job loss or competition in one way or another. It can also be a positive thing because those jobs that people aren’t willing to do are done by these immigrants and they make more than they would in their home countries. We also gain different cultures that make us aware what goes around the world. I also feel like people discriminate against people. Being an illegal immigrant leaves people unaccountable for their actions since they don't have an identity. National security and drug issues also come with illegal immigration. However, people who are saying it is acceptable or the immigrants themselves are trying to get a better life. They want to get better paying jobs and have better living conditions. For some, education is an area of concern. Some could be planning a better life for their kids. Other illegal immigrants might be trying to get with their family. If you think about all of us are somehow immigrants in this country whether it was our parents that migrated here or grandparents. We all have had a chance to migrate to the United States for a better life and it is something we should be able to give another family. We should be able to have people come and stay here. The reason why America is so diverse is due to the different people we get from around the world. Illegal immigration wouldn’t be a problem if the government was ok with immigrants coming.

  1. the immigrants are the ones who have always built this country, so why persecute them andmake them feel like crap . The govt is not even triying to regulate their status so the US can go 50 feet steps forward?
