With the recent Kennedy-Bush alliance (polar opposites at that) for the naturalization of illegal immigrants, a lot of people have come out strongly opposed to the idea and are quite unhappy that bush just brought it back up after the idea was killed.
Is there anyone out there that thinks it should be something that happens? If yes, please explain as I'm curious to see if there is another side (other than the politicians) to this issue and I want to know what makes you see it that way or where your opinions are derived from. Keeping in mind taxes, social security (haha as if that's going to last), unemployment, and them taking advantage of what's free in the nation (i.e. medicine/education) without putting back into the system. |

Ah, okay. I couldn't find it for some reason though. Can you merge the two topics, Steve?
------------------ Back on topic. The reason we secretly love illegal immigrants is because they keep prices & the cost of living down. If we deported them or gave them a path to amnesty, employers would be forced to raise their wages, meaning that Americans would generally have to pay more. I still think illegal immigrants should be deported, but that we should not fault illegal or American-born children for their parents' actions. Again, I'm going to emphasize the need to improve our f'ed-up immigration system. We should go back to an Ellis Island-style system, where people are inspected & recieve their documents right on the spot. They don't receive any government services for 5 years, so it's sink or swim. After that, they receive a path to legal residency/citizenship, and there's no issue of whether or not they are legal. And I disagree with just allowing skilled workers to come in. We obviously have an unskilled workforce willing to perform our jobs, but for now, we need to deport the illegals & rework our system. We need to allow more legal unskilled workers to come & we should give them the resources to help them learn English, American culture, etc. Because if we want cheap but legal labor, this is the way to do it. |
