The Infiltration of America: Illegal Immigration Solutions
Abstract
In writing a paper on immigration in America, the featured texts illuminate what problems have arisen and what measures can be taken to solve them. Illegal immigration, primarily from Mexico, has become an increasing problem since the early nineties. While immigration laws are set in place to stop this infiltration, authorities do not always act. America has become a feeder for emotionally injured people, or people seeking refuge from their own country. A high majority of illegal immigrants arrive in poverty and inevitably end up on welfare. The problem is not the arrival of these refugees; it is that they are illegally benefiting from America’s generosity. The following gives a general overview on the steps that can be put into place to help prevent this problem. Through an increase in border patrols, stricter repercussions for violations, and a set punishment for employers, America can regain its economy, job security, and health as a nation.

America takes in anyone from anywhere. In America, being selective is a downfall; it will not discriminate against anything, even if that something is a parasite slowly draining the life force from a nation’s people. Illegal aliens manage to collect welfare, steal jobs, and increase the overall number of impoverished in whatever country they infiltrate. Immigration is good, illegal immigration hurts a nation. The number one offender of illegal immigration into the US is Mexico. Mexicans cross the border from a
