America the Land of Opportunities

America is seen as the land of opportunities from the outside of its borders, but it excludes all human beings born outside its borders. If the people of America don't want Hispanics and of course many other races to come in to "their" country then why advertise it as such a great country, with a easy way of life. There are more than 10 million immigrants in the United States and about 56% percent of them are Mexican with an additional 22% that are from other Latin countries. Now that is a lot of people to try to get rid of. With the new imposing law HR4437, which is a law that the U.S thinks that will help the government, by basically making any illegal immigrant, a felon. Even if a person tries to help out an illegal immigrant they themselves would be punished and have to face the consequence of helping out a "felon". Whether the people who supposedly belong here want to admit it the country would be nothing like the way it is today, because Mexicans, well, the Hispanics are the backbone of this country, the are the ones who pave the streets they drive on and help build the houses they sleep in and pick all the fruits and vegetables, they eat. The thing is that Hispanics, well most of them come to this country to come work, and get a better life, a better life than the one they had in Mexico. Nobody really knows what Hispanics have to go through the U.S and got nothing on Mexico economically-wise. Living in Mexico is nothing compared to staying over there for a while and most of the time people don't really visit the spots where its hard to, make a life for yourself they visit more touristy locations, which is nothing like the real thing. Honestly though can you really blame a person for wanting to come to a better country and give their families a life they never had. And it's not like they come over here and poof magically they are living the American dream, they have to work twice as hard to get where a average family in the United States would make. People complain about how Hispanics come over here and supposedly take all the jobs that they need, well I doubt that they want to be doing all the work Hispanics do for so cheap. Hispanics do all the work that the people that are here already don't want to do. Plus think about it this way the new laws says that
