Illegal Immigration: How did they get here???

Illegal Immigration
How did they get here???


       Illegal Immigration is huge in the U.S.. Several different ethnicities and backgrounds migrate to the country Illegally to the country for countless resons. Some include poverty, racism, religous  discrimination and practices, dictatorships and many more valid reasons. The government is trying to implement several measures to decrease and ultimately eliminate illegal immigration. Some people say that illegal immigration benefits the US economy through additional tax revenue, expansion of the low-cost labor workers, and increased money in circulation. They contend that immigrants bring good values, have motivations consistent with the American dream, perform jobs that Americans won’t take, and that opposition to immigration genarally originates from racism. Opposition to illegal immigration say that aliens who break the law by crossing the US border without proper and legal documentation should be deported and not rewarded with a path to citizenship and access to social services. They argue that illegal aliens are criminals and social and economic burdens to law-abiding, tax-paying Americans.
