Immigration In America

Promt: Perception

Immigration in the United States has become an asset and also a liability to. It serves as a viable source to majority of the work force of the nation and also at the same time has uprooted the economy and drained money and benefits from working American citizens.
Our economy is already in debt, we don't have the resources to support illegal aliens. Another reason immigration is hurting society is that foreigners who are not legalized are not paying taxes. The government also don't have the extra money for medical benefits, most American born citizens don't have health insurance.

Jobs are being taken away from American citizens because of the immigrant situation we are experienicing now. Many people in control are aware of the fact that illegal aliens are willing to work for practically nothing and they also learn how to reap the benefits from the government. I myself as an American citizen have to pay taxes to help support this country. For many years America has been built on immigration. In my honest opinion this country wouldn't be the country that we know without the sweat and tears of immigrants. Illegal aliens come to this country looking for a better life. And they realize that America is the best country to make that dream happen. Because we are one of the richest countries of all the contintents, foreigners will go through any means to get here and remain here.

In the years that have passed there have been many problems regarding immigration. We're now with wars, high gas prices as well as other things. I think we should help within our country to build and grow stronger in order to help others. I try not to discriminate but illegal aliens should take the necessary actions to become legalized in our country. If they don't this problem will continue to grow and become worse. Doing it the right way will be the solution to the live the "American dream". They don't understand that the proper documents they will be able to voice their opinions by becoming a registered voter, an American citizen and their children will have the same opportunities as our kids.
This is not the only problem, illegal aliens can come to the U.S. and can commit crimes and then can't be traced or found. They can't be identified by social security numbers either. And because of this they're impossible to find which only cost taxpayers more money. We have not came up with a definite solution on how to solve this problem, yet we have become more dependent on the cheap labor and the limited benefits that they require. While they have formed protest marches for their rights to be citizens. I don't understand how this method will work for them. Firstly, they have entered the country illegally or are still here on expired visas. Even though they may think that they're doing us a favor I think that they are hurting the economy more instead of helping it. As years pass I don't think many non-residents that are living in America will continue to accept the low wages and not having the same rights as regular citizens.
The American government should really stay focused on this topic and make sure that immigrant laws are being practiced and enforced in each state. We should come up with a more amicable solution for both the American citizens and the non-residents we have in our country now.
