Immigration

In the United States immigration is a growing problem. Some say it's not as big as a problem as we might think. Some others think we should close the borders and not let anyone in. But if you go back in history is that really what America is about? America was about coming over and living the dream and having a good life. Now we are saying no one els can come here because we were here first. I understand people's concern about crime and such but really, that's not what they care about. It happens to every different race when they come to American right now it just happens to be the Mexicans. It happened with the Irish, and the Asians. People will get over it. Immigration is just the way our society grows and that's why America is so great we are not like Iraq, or China we have all different types of society's into one. It might cause some problems in the short term but in the long run it will only do us good.

In history we did stop immigrants from coming over. Pearl Harbor for example. Technically we weren't here first the native americans were. We might not be able to keep people from leavin but we should be able to keep them from coming in illegally. we are running out of jobs.
