Immigration is a hot topic for a good reason.
With the way that the American economy is it is hard to decided to support the new Arizona immigration law or not. In some ways it could be good and in some ways bad. There are some people who are suggesting that illegal immigrants who are already here and living a law abiding life should be allowed to stay in the United State and become legal Americans. Other people are saying that these people should be sent back to their country because we do not have room for them. Right now with so many Americans without work, homes, or long term care insurance it seems very difficult to support allowing more people to become legal citizens.
When some people say that illegal immigrants, who are living a law abiding life and not causing trouble in the United States, should be allowed to become citizens they are forgetting something. They are forgetting that being an illegal immigrant is just that, illegal. They are not law abiding citizens. They are getting paid under the table and not paying taxes. They can not be paying taxes because they do not have a social security number. They do not have a social security number because they are not citizens. They are not supposed to be in the United States to begin with.
Right now, Americans are having a hard enough time taking care of our own. We have many that are living on the streets because they have no source of income. Immigrants will work for significantly less than Americans. Americans are making less and thus having to pay less. Many business owners are now taking the risk of paying immigrants for labor because they can not afford to pay Americans. Until we can put the pieces back together we should not be inviting more people to come here. We should be telling them thanks for visiting but we need to take care of our own first.
