Complexities Of ImmigrationEssay Preview: Complexities Of ImmigrationReport this essayImmigration in the US has been a big topic ever since 1790 when the Irish started coming over. Ever since then people have been trying to stem the flow of immigration into this country. Since 9-11 people have been really adamant about immigration especially about limiting immigration into our country. They make good points but the real question is; is it feasible to restrict immigration? The Answer is simple, no; it is not feasible to restrict immigration.
People have wanted to restrict immigration to this country for over 200 years, and it has never successfully been done. Our country has tried to restrict immigration at certain points in our history. There was the Chinese exclusion act, and there was also the Nativist party. Both of these tried to stop immigration into this country. The Chinese exclusion act was a legal restriction on who could come into our country, and the Nativist party tried to pass laws like this, but they also used force to try and keep immigrants out of the country. Both of these ended up failing, the Chinese exclusion act are no longer legal, and the Nativist party has all but vanished. These were restrictions that were put on legal immigration, however the government does not just let any one walk into our country. If some one wants to enter our country legally and become a citizen then they must pass a series of tests. These tests include reading, writing, and speaking English, a health test, and a test designed to test the applicant’s general knowledge of the United States and how it is run. So the United States does have some general restrictions to who can come in to our country and be a citizen. If an applicant cannot pass these tests, or does not want to be a citizen then they can apply for a green card or a visa. However the down side to visas is that once they are up some people stay in the country and then become illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigration is a big problem in the United States. There are any where between 20 -35 million illegal immigrants in the United States according to a study published in the Huston Chronicle in 2007. People are split on immigration. Some people believe that we should harbor all immigrants legal and illegal because our country was founded on immigrants, however some believe that we should deport all of the illegal immigrants and say that if you want to become a part of this country then you must do it through the proper legal channels. There is one huge problem with immigration, and that is that it is both bad, and good for our country. It is good because with illegal workers companies can make bigger profits because they will pay the workers off the books. They are also a big part of our economic stability. If we deported all of the legal immigrants then the country would fall into depression because if all the illegal workers

I have read a lot of arguments that are very common among those arguing for legalizing illegals and I don’t really have a better answer than this. As you can see from some of the quotes, while there is some consensus that there should be, I believe most people can agree that it does not have to be. In fact, it is actually far more serious the problem than anyone could ever imagine.
We should not let legal immigrants in to keep our economy in decline as we’ve never done this before. With the immigration crisis now there has to be a serious discussion right now, and I don’t think our politicians or their supporters should be focusing on making an issue of illegal immigration but on solving it through the right legal channels, rather they should be focusing on giving people the right legal services such as immigration attorneys, immigration workers, a legal education system where they can find decent jobs, health care, a good job and a job opportunity before the laws are broken.
People should be able to get jobs where they need them, and the fact that there are so many illegal immigrants now is the problem they see. People should be able to get a decent legal place to live, but you need people like me out there to get them decent places to live so we can bring that economy to where people can survive in this country.
This bill is a great bill and in the end we will move on to the next step of the immigration agenda.
Senator Ron Johnson, the co-sponsor of the Stop Illegal Immigration Act:
I’m very pro-labor but I think it was a much better bill than the one introduced by Senator Schumer [and the other co-sponsors] that passed this past year. We have to go forward and get real conservative legislation that is really not just about illegal immigration but also about comprehensive immigration reform to actually get something done on the books so we can have a good immigration bill and I think we can achieve that in several years.
In other language: I’m a conservative and I believe that we should not create new problems through immigration reform because we already created more problems and we do our best to help get new problems started.
In addition, as a Conservative you are responsible for making sure that your policies are being taken seriously in state legislatures. If you want to make some changes based on your beliefs then you need to do some research. A lot of the time when people talk about the problem, like Senator Schumer, their focus is only on having a negative economic situation in the economy. I’m not saying that you agree, you don’t agree, even if it had all worked out really well and we would probably have been better off for it. However, like Senator Klobuchar, I don’t think there is anybody who would disagree with you and I don’t even think there is an argument that this bill should be repealed. A lot of Republicans are saying that you’re a liberal but that’s not true.
We should not create legal barriers to entry because it is a bad deal for our economy and then you have a bad situation going on for everybody regardless of your religion, political affiliation, your ability to get a job, or not have or lack. The goal is to create better economic security for our American people and we cannot allow those two to collide. We also shouldn’t create an undue focus on legal immigration. It isn’t a problem because what we do has real value in the United States but it is a problem because it would reduce what we have been able to create for so long.
The bill was sponsored by two Democrats: Senator Ron Johnson [R-Wis.] and Congressman Tammy Baldwin [D-Wis., Michigan]. This bill provides
