Illegal Immigration

    I completely agree with James blog post on immigration. I have always been against the government preventing illegal immigration both from Canada and Mexico. I understand that it’s wrong to enter someone else’s country without permission. I also know it’s not fair for the U.S. citizens. But let’s think about it. How long has the government tried to prevent illegal immigration and how much money they already spent on it and how successful are they in this matter? According to some common statistics “Border Patrol deployments have already tripled over the past 15 years, not counting 1,000 more officers being recruited and trained in the current year.” U.S. government has already spent billions of dollars to secure our borders. But nothing came out of it. Illegal immigration is still rolling.
    Secondly, people raise an issue of jobs and opportunities that are reducing each day because of “these Mexicans.” Well, they are doing the jobs that Americans don’t even want to look at. So why do they keep blaming them? As we have seen over past decade or so, these immigrants have helped us greatly and they are still doing the same thing.
    I don’t see this as an issue and I believe America shouldn’t either.
