Where do I start? Illegal immigration is unfair on so many levels.
I don't have a problem with people because they are from other countries trying to live a better life in my country- no, not at all. I have a problem with people from other countries sneaking over the border to work for cheap wages and send the money back to their homelands. I have a problem with the immigrants who don't take the initiative to learn the English language and get on that waiting list for a visa. What's happening is people are sneaking across the border, working for cheap wages (below minimum wage even!) resulting in a tremendous unemployment rate for Americans who have lived in this country their whole life! How is that fair? An immigrant who hasn't made their contribution to American society can just come in, get a job that pays $5/hour that an American could have had for $12/hour, and send all that money back to their hometown- contributing to our economy's demise. And apparently, this is OK! Well, I for one don't agree. Because that money is lost, the government is going to find a way to replace that money- A.K.A. my taxes!
I'm curious. We live in America. Our primary language is English. Now, a lot of jobs are requiring that employees speak Spanish. Can we make it any easier for these illegal immigrants?
When illegal immigrants have children in America, their kids are considered Americans. Now my taxes are going towards healthcare and education for that child when their parent(s) were very wrong for illegally coming into the country in the first places. It's just not fair. That money could be going towards a legal resident who really needs that aid!
This is yet another reason why our economy is at an all time low!
