Illegal Immigration

Today in the United States illegal immigration policies is a very pressing issue. Undocumented, non-taxpaying, families that enter American boarders sap the U.S. economy in a number of ways. In most cases illegal aliens move to America in search of work opportunities in an economy with much more to offer than their own. Sometimes entire families move and flourish here at our expense. Policies in the U.S. today grant citizenship to second generation illegal aliens. With the shape the Federal Revenue is in, our nation cannot afford to dull out free passes to illegal aliens due to their "honorable" conquest for financial salvation.

Think of all the tax money that has been taken from you during your lifetime. The total is going to vary due to different pay of different people, but we pay a lot. Now think of the things that we benefit from due to these taxes. Social Security benefits, federal and local law enforcement, schools, roads, ect. Every time an illegal alien uses one of these tax funded resources, we as Americas are exploited. They are consuming the resources that generations of our ancestors have worked to create, and yet they contribute very little.

Another American resource being sapped and abused due to illegal immigration is the work force. The bottom is blown out for fair play when an illegal worker is willing to work for less. Most of these jobs pay under the table so the money that they are earning is not taxed, which means that not only do we have to fight harder to get jobs, we will get taxed if we do get them. Now days there are laws that prevent this, but in some cases the laws that are in place today don't always protect us.

If a child of an illegal citizen is born in the U.S. boarders, they are granted citizenship and are often referred to as "planter children". So this child is permitted public services such as our schools and emergency room facilities. Meanwhile in France, offspring of an illegal alien are required to register for citizenship rather than being granted this service immediately. All citizens not registered will result in an illegal status and removal from U.S. grounds. This is great idea on how to generate tabs on illegal families and keep families from having "planter children". This encourages their illegal family to stay in America. We should require the whole family to become citizens once a child is born here in U.S borders.

Our illegal immigration problem in America has resulted is strong influence from our federal government. In Arizona racial profiling is now being permitted to prevent the influx of illegal citizens to that state. In my opinion racial profiling should be permitted in certain states that have high percentages of illegal aliens. It may seem harsh but these individuals are taking and not giving. There has got to be a point where we as Americans stop putting others needs before our own.
