We are a nation of immigrants, that being said we are also a nation that has established its own Identity and become one of the elite super powers in the world. It is an honor and privilege to live here and is seen as such by many all over the world, but there is a process to emigrate here, and this should be respected by all.
There is a reason that the term illegal is tagged to the term illegal immigrant, and that is because it is an unlawful entry into a nation. Illegal immigration is the same manner as a robber breaking into a house, and one could argue that an immigrant does steal jobs and what little social services that our country provides. As far as the term illegal is concerned you don’t need to commit a capital offence to commit an illegal act, jaywalking is illegal, boot legging is illegal, it’s all going against a law that has been established by a country. There is due process and procedures to immigration and these laws should be followed by anyone, and not doing so belittles the efforts of people who spend years even decades in their own nation, many of which are war torn and very impoverished, waiting to come and begin a new life here in the United States.
Our boarders should be tougher, not just to stop migrant workers, but to stop anyone with ill intentions. We have all seen that there are people and nations who don’t like the United States, and we should have secure borders to help protect ourselves from them more so than the other illegal immigrants.
