Immigration and Emigration Controversy in the United States

The situation of children who were born in the United States to immigrant parents or those who have come here as children has been gaining nationwide recognition.

Not only does this issue affect immigrants but it brings up another problem between state and federal government guidelines about the power each holds and when and where federal governments should intervene with lawmakers.

Many illegal immigrants provide inexpensive labor to companies who would probably consider outsourcing to different parts of the world if this service was not available to them. Many companies have the potential to possibly miss out on the future innovators or leaders if the children fighting to stay in the only country some of them have ever known are forced to leave. This issue of immigration into the United States has been fought by both Republican and Democratic parties and has played an important role in the 2012 Presidential Election.
