How do Immigrants get a free ride in America? According to a colleague’s editorial titled Come on Over… Your free ride in America. Free ride is not what I see. I see illegal families trying to make ends meet just like an American family. Yes, some need assistance to survive, but do we deny that family SNAP (food stamps) because they don’t have a visa card? The ones that do get SNAP have children born on American soil; should we take their rights away because their parents are illegal no. If these illegals our on a free ride then so our Americans that take advantage of our benefits.
According to Focus on Mexico when you cross the border into
Mexico you are required to have a permit for your vehicle and a tourist (FMT)
card. If you have ever been to Mexico
then you know majority of the time the Border Officials tell you where to go.
If you don’t understand Spanish then that is your problem and you need to learn
their language you’re in their country now. I mean that is what we say about
them not knowing our language and been in America. I know, i say that. When an illegal been sent back to Mexico after
been arrested for a crime and end up back in America is not their fault. Its
Americas fault for deporting them knowing the outcome. The U.S. and Mexico
border is known for drug smuggling, but who is to blame? Not just illegals, but
the natural born citizens of America as well. It’s not fair to blame the illegals
when are people are in the mix with them.
American gives everyone the opportunity to apply for a visa
and eventually a citizenship all for a fee.
Money can even by your entrance into America. You can find the forms and prices at the U.S.Citizenship and Immigration service website. These fees don’t mention the cost
for an attorney. The person applying for an application can pay up to three
thousand dollars and not be guaranteed a visa or citizenship. Does anyone ever
think that’s why they snake over? Im not saying it is okay that they do that. I’m
not for it nor am I against it. I think we need to figure out how to fix the problem
because the way we are going about it now is not working.

ReplyDeleteI guess the main thing I am confused about is why not just get a green card and live here legally?..
ReplyDeleteMaybe since America is in walking distance of Mexico it is easier to get here than say if you were in Poland. Why would someone want to walk around and be scared of being deported? Aliens may not be a threat to the American people but to the economy yes. They get paid under the table so that they don't have to pay taxes but yet when taken to the hospital to the emergency room they don't have to pay. The hospitals are reimbursed by government money that they shouldn't have to spend. As for jobs, an employer is going to want to pay someone the least amount possible. Who doesn't look for the cheaper way out? This is also another reason we send jobs overseas. You are right on health insurance being expensive but it is something you need, as well as car insurance.
Why should America help people that are doing the wrong thing? I 100 percent agree with people having to be drug tested to be able to get government assistance. You have cash to buy drugs but not to buy groceries? Someone explain to me how that works. If we took away the government assistance to illegal immigrants we would be saving that much money. Why should a child that was born on American soil to illegal immigrants be able to stay in American? This is teaching the child that what their parents did was ok. Maybe murder is not a good example but the point is still the same. They did a bad thing but should we let them roam around with no consequences?
