Immigration reform and securing the boarders is a very divided issue!
People throughout the United States remain divided about creating a legal pathway for illegal immigrants to enter this country. The U.S. Congress needs to address the issue of boarder security, legalization and guest worker visas. According to the video "Matters of Race and The Divide" illegal immigrants are contributing to the economy by purchasing goods and services, paying taxes, and providing labor. International migration is a central force in reducing global poverty and inequality if done properly.
I feel that our U.S. Congress should pass legislation allowing "all" immigrants from around the world legal citizenship into the United States. We cannot discriminate and allow citizens from one or two countries special access to legal citizenship. Legalizing immigrants allows for transparency, consistency, accountability and equality among every citizen living in the United States. Every citizen and corporation would be responsible for paying the proper payroll taxes on their wages. This would also lead to higher wages for many workers who are earning less than minimum wage and reduce poverty. We must allow an equal and fair system for all immigrants that would like to enter the United States legally.
I agree that we need an equal fair system for immigrants to enter the US legally, but there will always be people who want to do things illegally which will ruin it for everyone else. I mean consider the laws we have right now. We have intense border control and fancing, but that hasnt stopped immigrants yet. I dont really think there will ever be a way to convince every immigrant to do what they are suppose to.
ReplyDeleteI do believe we should allow immigrants into the country once they have gone through the correct process to be here. I think it is ridiculous to allow illegal immigrants citizenship just because they are already here. I mean its not like I can travel to France and become a legal citizen of there just because I am already in the country. It would be like we are rewarding people for illegally immigrating to our country.
