Immigration




When it comes to immigration I do not have a very educated opinion. It seems to me that it is necessary to have safe boarders..I know that a lot of bad drugs get through the open boarders and that the underground slave trade uses the open boarders to transport sex slaves. This should not be happening. Immigration must be regulated by the government, be it state or federal, I'm not sure who can do the best job. Without strict regulation we have no idea who is in this country or what they are doing.They could be diseased or harmful in some way to us and we would have no idea. We need to protect ourselves in this situation, it is only reasonable.

At the same time, we must feel for those who want to come to our country to start new lives or better their existing one. It needs to be easier and cheaper for people to immigrate. If we granted the illegals citizenship we could tax them and use that money to provide an immigration education system and pay for services that all Americans receive from the government. We could have programs that get them started in good, safe jobs. We could teach them english and help them exercise their citizenship to their greatest potential.

But all of us must adjust to changes that immigrants bring. We can learn from all of our neighbors, no matter where they were born. America is one of a few nations that is not bilingual and this is just ignorant. Anyway, that's all I really have to say..don't take my word for any of this, it's just speculation, I really have no idea what I'm talking about..

I don't think that immigrants should be completely forbidden from entering the country, but something has to be done to regulate them and they should have to become citizens.
