IMMIGRATION



There are a lot of illegal immigrants living and working in the United States.
Most Americans are in favor of strong punitive measures to prevent and reduce illegal immigration. However,business leaders, policity experts, and politicians have proposed amnesty programs and other measure that will not cut off that they call a necessary flow of labor into the United States.
The 30 days TV show is a good example of how illegal immigrants are living in the United States. While I was watching the episode, I tried to understand Frank's position. He was right in trying to protect the US border because he came to the United States legally, and his patriotism is admirable. However, I think we are often realistic and require to other to do the same thing like him because we have never experienced the extreme poverty as Gonzalez family. I was glad that Frank changed his position after have lived with them.
In my opinion, immigration should be regulated in the United States because undocumented have no workplace protection and are vulnerable to explotation or abuse. Some of them work and pay taxes, but they perceive very little income for their job.

I am in favor that people who are living and working for a better life like the Gonzalez family receive amnesty.

  1. Wow! Very nice work, Felicita! You make an excellent point that undocumented workers are also vulnerable to exploitation from employers as well. Many of us do not consider this point when thinking of this issue.

    You have 10 points to use as you wish. Please let me know how and when you would like to use it.
