The Immigration Crisis
Illegal Immigrants
Why Not? Immigrants, or as many call, aliens, are everywhere in this country. We hear jokes about them from those with humor, and we read about how they should all be shipped back to their countries from those who claim illegal immigrants steal the American people 's job. However, whatever one 's position on the issue may be, the truth of the matter is there are over 20 million illegal immigrants in this country, and about 700 thousand more enter the country each year (center for immigration study). So even if you 're an all American immigrant hater, getting rid of illegal immigrants would be impossible. But why would we want to get rid of them anyway? Why not welcome these struggling people who risk their lives in order to escape the hell hole they lived in on their country?
America is a beautiful country who was blessed economically and is now one of the riches and most powerful country in the world. What people seem to have forgotten though is that this successful piece of land was created by immigrants and for immigrants, and today most of it 's economy still depends on them. However, there are those who disagree. Those who believe if immigrants were to go back to their own countries America would truly become heaven on earth. In an article written by Frosty Wooldrige, he states that without illegal immigrants in this country not only would the crime rates go down, but the American people 's health would improve as well. He says immigrants that cross the border infect the people with tuberculosis, leprosy, hepatitis, and many other diseases. We also wouldn 't have car thefts, and the illegal drug and gangs that roam our streets would end. We wouldn 't have to "suffer" with the fact that schools now have to teach Spanish to their students who only speak English in order to be able to educate those who don 't. So basically, all we have to do is get rid of all illegal immigrants and we will have ourselves a nice little utopia. Only thing
