Illegal Immigration

Summary:   The U.S. needs a program to end illegal immigration ensuring that people who enter illegally or overstay they can't obtain employment, public benefits, public education, housing, or any taxpayer funded benefit.


Illegal immigrants are a problem to the United States. I don't think they should come here illegally just to get a job to make money or go to school just to get a higher education. They should come here legally to get that stuff that they need. Also there are to many immigrants living here, I think they should all get out if they came illegally.

When our relatives, way back when, came over to start a new life, they fought their way to America legally so we deserve the fruits of success. (Anon) We pay taxes and so should the immigrants when they come and get jobs. Immigrants come here illegally and demand services in return for breaking the law. (Anon) I don't think that should be right because they should come here legally then get jobs. Also nobody should hire them if they are not here legally, so they can go back to where they came from. Over eight million illegal immigrants live in the U.S. and that is too much. (Kuck) Since there are a lot of immigrants, they represent a disproportional amount of the population. (Boston Globe)

Immigrants take away things we need. When they come here they take away food, money, and services that we depend on. (Anon) Illegal immigration causes an enormous drain on public funds. If they cause an enormous drain on public funds, then we can't provide high quality education, health care, and retirement security for our own people if they continue to come. (Kuck) Tax dollars depend on workers who pay taxes. (1) Not the other way around. Immigrants are crowding classrooms, consuming limited housing and straining natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. (Kuck) We won't have enough room for them here in the United States if they keep on coming.

Before immigrants come here legally they have to have a visa. A visa is a legal document from U.S. government that states that they are here legally until the expiration date has passed. (2) In Section 237 (a)(1)(b) says "Any alien who is present in the U.S. in violation of this act or any other law of the U.S. is deportable." (Kuck) I think that immigrants need a documentation that they came here legally. If the immigrants don't, then they should be deported back to where they came from. Also, if the immigrants don't have a document saying that they can stay, then they shouldn't get a job.

The U.S. needs a program to end illegal immigration ensuring that people who enter illegally or overstay they can't obtain employment, public benefits, public education, housing, or any taxpayer funded benefit. Also, we have a border fence between Mexico and us; they are still coming in even though there is a fence. If the fence won't work, then the U.S. should have a very strong security forces. Those forces should secure the airports and boats or any other transportation, so the immigrants can't come in to the U.S. illegally.
