U.S. Illegal Immigration

The amounts of illegal immigrants in the United States are increasing every day, something needs to change, and illegal immigration is not only against the law but also is hurting our economy.

1) Illegal immigrants are taking our jobs when some families can barely put food on thier tables.
2) Borders are not strict enough there are many places where fences end which makes it very easy to cross the border.
3) Every year illegal immigrants cost tax payers billions of dollars.

there should be more to be done to make it harder for illegal immigrants. They come into America thinking they can do what ever please them. Some starts gangs, transport drugs and are involved with many illegal activities. I am guessing they think this is a country of freedom. Yes it is but to a certain extent. But there are some immigrants who goes by americas laws. and those illegals makes it harder for those who really are good ones.

Typically the jobs that these immigrants are taking are jobs americans do not wish to do. They are low paying and very laborious jobs like picking in fields. The issue today is not so much the immigrants themselves but rather the employers that hire them as it is illegal to hire illegal immigrants. The problem our government is facing regarding these illegals is not that these immigrants are costing tax payers money its that it costs so much to find and deport them that it would be less expensive to just grant them legal citezenship. If we were to deport all illegal immegrants the cost would not only be enormous but it would create a vacume in the jobs that amercans don't want and hurt the economy in much the same way letting the giant corperations like GM and AIG go under would.

What about the immigrants who contribute millions in social security dollars (and pay taxes) without ever recouping the benefits? Many immigrants work with false security numbers and have just withheld as any legal worker, yet they do not have access to the refunds or the benefits....
