Immigration

In America, we deal with illegal immigrants who come to the country to find obs because they can't do so in their own countries. Similarly, rural Chinese are moving in droves to the cities because the countryside simply does not have enough arable land to provide agricultural labor for such a huge population. I disagree with the laws of immigration set by the state of California and the rest of the United States. True, there are big numbers of illegal immigrants coming into different states every year, but in California's case, they are actually helping the state consumer economy.

Personally, we are all part of a society who wants big houses, fancy cars, and lots of money. most illegal immigrants in California are just looking for any kind of work that pays more than what they are getting in their own countries. The reason they are coming to America is because they are supposed to be able to have the opportunity to have a better life for their families. I feel that if any one of us were living in a country where it is almost impossible to get the slightest bit ahead in life, and we saw an opportunity to come to a country where they give you the right to get paid a higher amount of wages, we would jump on the opportunity.

In public opinion polls, a majority of Americans now say that they want to limit all immigration, including the legal kind. Some pundits claim that legal immigration leads to illegal immigration because, once people come to the United States legally, their relatives will follow even if it means coming illegally. On the flip side, there are those who oppose offering illegal immigrants a path to legal residency because it could make it easier for millions of additional immigrants to come into the country legally through policies that push family unification. Others insist that the cultural concerns that come with having too much immigration include people not learning English and changing neighborhoods. These things don't go away when the immigrants in question come legally. So let's stop pretending that it's only illegal immigration that has Americans worked up. It's immigration, period.
