I have no problem with legal immigration, it’s one of the things that makes this country so great, almost everyones families (except those descended from native tribes) were immigrants. I do however, have a problem with illegial immigration, not all mexican people living here are illegial, of course, but illegial immigrants are a big problem. Many are poorly educated, some can’t speak english. They use our facilites and such, but pay no taxes, meanwhile some of them suck down our welfare system. Even bigger a problem is that some are criminals, as we can see from the gang violence that has exploded in many major cities. Yes, I understand most are for the most part decent people (not counting the fact their breaking the law by even being here) trying to send money back home or make a better life for their familes. Many work on farms and in strawberry fields and such (illegially employed) for a season and then go back home. However, from these problems, I stated above, not the least of which is no identification, this is a problem. We have rules and they need to be enforced. If you want to work here or live here, you fill out the proper paperwork. Prehaps they could try and make their own country a better place to live, instead of hiding in ours. I’m not against a fence, although I think one thing we could do is help Mexico become a better country, but the corrupt government there might hinder that. Nontheless, these people must do their part. Not to mention, i think them sending our currency outside of the country without our knowlege could indirectly affect the economy. I do absolutly support legal immigration though.
