Are they really the “aliens” or is it us? Immigration restriction should not be supported because it brings in millions of people and money to America every year. Immigration is the start to how the United States came to be what it is today. It takes away from people's possible freedom and their futures as American citizens.
To support my claim against strict immigration laws, the author of The Failure of Immigration Restriction, Pearson J., argues that immigration restrictions are a failure and have not succeeded for large amounts of time. The failure leads all the way back to the 1800’s when the irish arrived. The Irish were here looking for steady work and would take low wages. This is something america did not …show more content…

Though they use a lot of money and are here under no government knowledge, does that mean they should have so many restrictions. As the number of immigrants increase officials are endorsing different forms of amnesty for groups with sympathetic situations which is dangerous and misleading for many reasons.
