Review of Immigration Nation

One of the authors main ideas is that Americans are not as divided on the issue of Immigration as we may think. Most of the people want the borders to be tougher because they want the immigrants to earn living here. I do not agree with that because, i believe a lot of Americans are scared of new immigrants because they feel threatened. Which is understandable but completely wrong. Some try to say they want the borders to be tougher because the threat of terrorism. Maybe some people think that but most Americans just do not want any more people here especially Mexicans because, they're stereo-type currently is dirty, poor, and lazy. But if you look back in time really, every different ethnicity group that has came to America has went through those same stereo-types. It's what you should expect. A threat that comes with illegal immigrants is job security. Which the construction industry is famous for employing illegals. The construction industry creates some 185,000 jobs annually. Seeing that is it possible they can not get Americans to do the job? Or is it they do not want to pay as much. A lot of the evidence shows they don't want to pay as much as they would with Americans. Over 12 million illegal immigrants are living and working in this country. So, knowing that does that now make you worried about terrorism? It does Veteran Border Patrol Agent who said, "What if another 9/11 happens, and it happens on my watch? What if the bastards come across here in Arizona and i don't catch them because I'm so busy chasing your next busboy or my next gardener that I don't have time to do my real job-catching terrorists" Should we really be worrying about the next busboy? Or should we find the real problem catching people who are our enemies. Overall this article is very educational and full of information that someone who does not know about immigration should read. The author of this article is trying to say we do not need to spend so much time worrying about the people who want a better life, but the people who just want to hurt us.
