Illegal Immigrants

Immigrants

One of Americas issue is illegal immigrants. Are they really a threat to us Americans or are we just making it a big deal?

Many American feel they are steeling jobs from our citizens. Is this really true? I personally feel no and that this accusation is incorrect. They are taking the jobs that most Americans don’t want to work. Let’s be honest which one of us want to work in 100 degrees heat on a roof, or pouring concrete at five in the morning?  Not me, and most likely not any of you reading this. So, why does this give us the right to say they are steeling are jobs? To be honest, I’m just glad they choose to work and do the jobs we Americans don’t want.

Another issue Americans have with immigrants is the amount of assistance they receive from the government.  According to Center for ImmigrantsStudies in 2009, 57 percent of households headed by an immigrant with legal and illegal children are on some form of government assistance. Yes, it bothers me knowing this information, but let’s be honest how many companies offer insurance to their employees and if they do offer insurance it’s too expensive. Another reason why so many don’t have health insurance is because they don’t understand how it all works. I saw this first hand with a family I knew. No one wants to pay for anything they don’t understand. People are upset they also receive SNAP also known as food stamps. Let’s be honest who isn’t applying for food assistance in this economy. If we can go across the world to help feed a starving country why not just do it here in our own country. I’m just thankful that they are at least trying to work and make a living. There are some Americans that are on government assistance that choose to live off us and not work at all. Let’s complain about those people more rather than some illegals.
Should we just deport all these illegals? We could do that, but who will do the jobs we don’t want? We would be wasting more money on containing them and sending them back. The children that are citizens will be sent back with their parents or left here in America for us to figure out what to do with them. They are here and we need to figure out how to fix the issue instead of getting rid of it. I know there are some illegals here for the wrong reason and causing trouble, but we have Americans doing the same thing.

America we have bigger issues and we need to fix those first.
