We cannot however base how we treat immigrants, whether legal or illegal, on how other countries treat them. We are far better already then all other countries in that respect.
It comes down to this: The United States has nothing against legal immigration. As a matter of fact it is what we were founded on. If however the first act you do on our soil is to break our laws then we have a problem no matter how many times you chant â??God Bless America.â?
To say that there are â??jobs Americans are unwilling to doâ? is a racist statement. You are essentially saying that only illegal immigrants qualify for those jobs. What job is an American unwilling to do? What happens when you grant amnesty to all of the illegal aliens currently here and they become â??Americansâ?? Do they all of a sudden become unwilling to do these certain jobs?
Go after the employers of illegal aliens. They are the ones that take advantage of these â??guest workersâ?. They can pay them whatever they want or even change that amount on whim. These workers have no legal status and can easily be manipulated because of that. In turn the families of illegal aliens are forced to abuse our medical, educational, and welfare systems to simply make it by.
Taking away illegal immigrants will not collapse our economy. Quite the contrary, in the long term we will develop technologies that will limit the need for certain manual labor positions. In turn increasing our overall GDP and become stronger as a nation.
