Illegal immigration

Michael Fitts and Alex Densch-Giese


illegal immigrant n. an alien (non-citizen) who has entered the United States without government permission or stayed beyond the termination date of a visa."Illegal immigration refers to immigration across national borders in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destination country." Illegal immigration is a growing problem in this country and should be more strictly prohibited.

"Illegal is anything that is against the law including drug trafficking, smuggling, terrorism or crossing the border into a country. Undocumented is anything that can no longer be verified including unemployed American workers who no longer qualify for unemployment benefits and are no longer counted in statistics. What a sorry nation we are becoming when we allow corporate political correctness to pervade our daily speech. Illegal means illegal."

-- Peter Romanenko, Waco, Texas

Even though illegal immigration is a major problem in the U.S., without it there would be many jobs that would be lost. The immigrants take most of the jobs that normal Americans would not wish to have.

We believe that with the increase in illegal immigration is hurting the economy. The illegal immigrants bring the increased population, which could hurt our economy. There are many poor people throughout the world. Why should the United States be responsible for "saving" these people? There would only be so much help we could give as a country so where would we draw the line?
