Illigal Immigration Arguement #1

       The author ’s unbelievable disgust with our country’s lack of action against the illegal immigration problems show that not all people are “okay” with these people coming into our country and taking over, raising our taxes, and displacing honest working Americans because the illegals are willing to work for less. I agree with everything the author says except the fact that patrolling the borders and building fences will only slow down these people. I don’t think patrols or fences are going to stop anybody. Some way, some how they will get in and even if we focused all of our resources on fighting back we still will never win in the fight against illegal immigrants.

       My first article lays the blame for our illegal alien “problem” at the feet of the greedy employers who knowingly hire these illegal immigrants for less than they would hire an average “American”. The author speaks out in antagonizing outrage about how the hiring of these immigrants ”leads to displacement of legal workers, further degradation of benefits, and [the] deterioration of the middle class” and also about Bush’s proposed “Guest Worker Program”. He states that the last “government promised” amnesty happened in 1986 with the 4 million immigrant problem we, the United States, were facing at that time. Now with Bush’s “Guest Worker Program” the government is “breaking” that promise and is once again going to gift amnesty under this cover name. In the author’s opinion, he states “By rewarding lawlessness, we are simply inviting more of the same”.  He also speaks about the extra money the taxpayers of the U.S., the legal American citizens, must pay so these illegals can have free health care, free education, free living, and free criminal justice. “[The average household of illegal aliens, in California, uses $3,463 of the taxpayers' money every year].” His disgust shows when he speaks of these aliens and the way they arrive in our corrupt country. Trafficking and drug cartels are only two of the many ways that these people are getting in. He seals his case by, again, briefly discussing the actual reason for his writing, the employers who willingly and illegally hire the 20 million illegals we have in this country. He says they need to be prosecuted to fullest extent of the law and then, with the help of our government, and only then will the number of illegals actually decrease.

       The author of this passage beautifully wrote about his disgust with the way our government is handling the immigrant problem. Our politicians are fighting and arguing about it but nothing is ever happening. All we have are a bunch of fat old people sitting on Capitol Hill surrounded by their lavish lifestyles and never even touching the problem. His opinions on the employers of these illegals mirror my own. They need to be prosecuted and called out for damaging our economy and making the taxpayers pay for their employees free living. The amnesty that he talks about amazes me also. These people come into our country illegally and when we get tired of trying to hunt them down we just grant them amnesty and say, “okay, since you have been here illegally for, say, 4 years or so you can become a citizen with this little card I’m going to give you”. I am absolutely disgusted with this and believe that we need to crack down. Now I haven’t thought of a way to do this yet but I am only 16 so I’m working on it.
