The Immigration CrisisEssay Preview: The Immigration CrisisReport this essayIllegal ImmigrantsWhy Not?Immigrants, or as many call, aliens, are everywhere in this country. We hear jokes about them from those with humor, and we read about how they should all be shipped back to their countries from those who claim illegal immigrants steal the American peoples job. However, whatever ones position on the issue may be, the truth of the matter is there are over 20 million illegal immigrants in this country, and about 700 thousand more enter the country each year (center for immigration study). So even if youre an all American immigrant hater, getting rid of illegal immigrants would be impossible. But why would we want to get rid of them anyway? Why not welcome these struggling people who risk their lives in order to escape the hell hole they lived in on their country?
I can say without a doubt that we are going to have a tough time going after illegal aliens. People will blame us for every act of violence or the threat of violence but we can all agree on one thing – we are better at policing our own communities than our local police force, and our neighbors have to live with that fact. The next best thing is to take more of our citizens who work in our towns into our communities and start to develop other businesses. That way we have a chance to save a bunch of money but we will have to live with the pain we must face every year while you try to ignore us, and I am sure you’ll agree that it’s never good when your neighbors are just doing what they know is best for them.I know youre tired of fighting for our government and we can not stand for taking in illegals. If you want, you can stop whining as I would take you to fight for a more free life on this earth by donating.And I’m sure that you agree with a lot of of people what I want as a country, but if you don’t want to hear about it, then stay away. Because no matter how many are in immigration detention, we are in business. If we continue to fight and take in illegals every day, then we will continue to lose a large chunk of money on these companies. And we will lose that, so help us. I would hope that our government would also take in those who come forward and make them ashamed of themselves, and that our citizens will also have something they can share with you, that they can be proud to have as a nation.So, I am going to ask you questions of people here every day, and I believe that there is also enough reason to be proud of you to have something that you’d want to share. There is also not much I could say about today’s debate with our own immigration policy; I think people need to be more open minded about their own thoughts and values now. But since I am a huge fan of libertarianism and think the entire American family should be free as a nation and that freedom should cover everyone on each household, I would like to offer my best opinion of this debate I see in the rest of the country, because it is important to me to be clear about it. I’d like to focus on what we were talking about in this essay, and then come back to that and try to make it more interesting. I thought this day was a good one for Libertarianism, because it really showed the amount of passion there was for the Libertarian movement. There’s still a lot there, with great things happening, great issues to discuss, good ideas to try to share, lots of great things we can do in America, but here is the thing though. The last hundred years have been characterized by the wars for civil rights, the World War II pandemic, the financial crisis and most recently all of this and that will all begin to change after a major shake up of our society. The only thing we have left now that will bring change is the people who will leave us if they feel we are not taking care of them and fighting injustice now.It is time for us to take a look at this. The people who will join the antiwar movement have seen some of the best results that we had with immigration and civil rights, economic opportunity and our freedoms in recent years without the support of government. And those that

America is a beautiful country who was blessed economically and is now one of the riches and most powerful country in the world. What people seem to have forgotten though is that this successful piece of land was created by immigrants and for immigrants, and today most of its economy still depends on them. However, there are those who disagree. Those who believe if immigrants were to go back to their own countries America would truly become heaven on earth. In an article written by Frosty Wooldrige, he states that without illegal immigrants in this country not only would the crime rates go down, but the American peoples health would improve as well. He says immigrants that cross the border infect the people with tuberculosis, leprosy, hepatitis, and many other diseases. We also wouldnt have car thefts, and the illegal drug and gangs that roam our streets would end. We wouldnt have to “suffer” with the fact that schools now have to teach Spanish to their students who only speak English in order to be able to educate those who dont. So basically, all we have to do is get rid of all illegal immigrants and we will have ourselves a nice little utopia. Only thing that Frosty, the author of “A Day Without Illegal Immigrants” article, forgot is that he is basing his opinion on stereotypes and untrue information he has probably heard from others.
First of all, Frosty makes aliens seem like some type of dirty plague. I dont know how the system works in other countries, but before I ever even thought about coming to this country we had to take all sorts of vaccines in order to not get the types of diseases described above. I also asked an illegal alien, who shall remain anonymous, if she agreed with what was said and she confirmed that as a child in Brazil she had to take vaccines for all the diseases listed above and more.
Of course there are those who never were taken care of and come infested in hopes of being cured in America, and end up spreading diseases. However, what we have forgotten is this is a vicious cycle. What do you think happened when the first Americans settled here? Didnt the Europeans spread around their diseases to the truest Americans, the Natives? Yes, they did! Different cultures come together, that is bound to happen. And although that seems like a horrible think, biology teaches us that the more diverse a person is, the stronger their immune system will be. Besides, this is America. This country is advanced and has the means to find cures for their people, as well as the people who cross the border.
As far as the crime rates going down, theft ending, and gangs and illegal drugs being out of the street, that is quite an ignorant comment. According to NDIC, when talking about people who sell drugs on the street they confirmed that yes, Mexican and Hispanics do sell drugs however “Caucasian local independent dealers distribute much of the methamphetamine and marijuana produced in the state”. There is no way that getting rid of all immigrants is going to change the scenery when clearly the American people are in on the drug distribution as well. You dont even have to read statistics, just read the newspaper or watch television. You see all kinds of races, from different socioeconomic backgrounds committing all types of crimes.
I could somewhat understand the bitterness towards illegal immigrants when it comes to diseases and crimes, but I cannot even begin to fathom why a person would be mad at the fact that another language is being taught at school. It is not a matter of compromising with illegal immigrants, it is a matter of broadening your horizons, becoming educated, letting go of your ignorance. Because this country is so powerful, it should be the first one picking up new languages in order to communicate with all the other countries around us.
After I read the article by Frosty I decided to write him an email asking him why was he so bitter towards immigrants, and why did he say the things he did. Thankfully, he replied to me saying:
“There are 20 million illegals in our country and those are the ones Im talking about and they are not immigrants. They broke into our country and they are illegally here, work illegally and cheat us out of our taxes, our schools, lunch program and medical. They have drunk drivers and anchor babies and steal and diseases. Were not too happy about it.
Additionally, they are causing an overpopulation overload. Again, ILLEGALLY here in our country is illegal. They are not immigrants.Im not bitter, Im pissed at the lawlessness and disrespect for our country.”Once again, Frosty is wrong. I have heard of cases where people have babies in America in order to collect money, but he is making a generalization because not everyone does that. And as far as cheating Americans out of their taxes, he could not have been more wrong. Aliens, whether legal or not, do pay taxes. The immigrant I interviewed has been illegally in this country for eight years and when I asked her if she paid taxes her response was “Sure, I have an I.R.S id. I pay taxes because I am not a criminal, and I think it is fairÐit just isnt fair because we dont ever get money back.”
Frosty talks about these illegal immigrants saying they are criminals. He and many Americans believe that if you want to come and work, you should enter the country legally. After all, the immigration policy does provide non citizens with two paths of lawful entry. You could either come with a permanent resident card or you could have permanent admission (Immigration Policy). I asked the immigrant interviewed why didnt she come legal and she stated she didnt have a sponsor therefore she couldnt get permanent or temporary residency. I also asked her why after
