Being Sold a Dream
These people we know as illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, undocumented workers, and person living without legal permission is a big threat to hard working people in this country. Illegal immigration is still and always have been a major issue in the United States ; we as Americans are trying to find ways to keep people from other countries out of North America. The United states is a country full of dreams and opportunity which many illegal immigrants come to America for a better life, however illegal immigrants are seen as threats to us,control our mind mentally,and created enemies and taxes revenues for our county. Americans believe that having illegal aliens here will prevent legal citizens from getting work and created competition. Most low-skilled and hard-working Americans fear that immigrants will replace them and take their jobs because they are just as a hard-working people as American, but immigrants have an advantage over a ordinary citizen, they will work long hard for less money.
We as Americans feel that living in the United States as a citizen should be earned and seen as a privilege. Many Americans think that illegal immigrants should be able to adapt and survive our culture in order to have similar privileges and rights as a citizen of the United States by law, " Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country" stated Kristof. Illegal immigrants come to the United States for jobs so that will be able to take care of their families back home. Most illegal immigrants marry citizens here in America be exposed to our lifestyle , most of them live in poverty neighborhoods and don't have the same resources and rights that Americans have as a citizens Buttock says, " there are roughly around 11 to 12 million illegal immigrants in our country. American see illegal immigrants as a burden to our country; they are limiting jobs opportunities and not growing with the business economy. Our country became very wealthy by using the monopoly method and creating new jobs for citizens to climb the cooperation ladder we we have lacked in the last five years because Americans have struggle to keep illegal immigrants out this country. President Obama mentioned that it was his duty to find all of the undocumented immigrants before it is too late, " Every day that I wait we're misallocating resources." Americans feel that it is very important that we stop illegal immigrants from trespassing and taking over our country.
Illegal immigrants can have controlled over how we think as Americans and mess up our beliefs, morals, and values. In this country we are a mixed culture and Unique people have different religions such as; Christianity, Muslims , Catholics Baptist, and Athens. Many Americans have different culture background and celebrate different traditions based off of race like American celebrate Christmas ,Halloween, and lent day. We as Americans enjoy celebrating traditions with our family, and citizens think that if too many illegal come in to this country that might change Americans think as individuals Kristof referred to the term "traditional fabric."
In our society money is the key to being able to survive in America. Many ordinary citizens in work hard to provide for their families and creating Amnesty will start a war between Americans and illegal immigrants, especially if minorities are affected by it financially. Illegal immigrants cost us 24,000 dollars a year and 5 billion dollars to find them Butowsky stated.
