The
United States of America is a great country, and we should make it fairly easy
for people to legally immigrate and become part of our great nation.
Illegal immigration, though, is a problem. It is undermining the
rules we have in place to keep things fair in our society. In many cases,
criminal fraud is taking place with stolen Social Security numbers and fake
identification.
I am
against many types of government spending. Border security, though, is an
area where I would like to increase spending.
If we have
border checkpoints anywhere, it
is hypocritical and asinine to have porous borders elsewhere. We have the
technology to do this without building giant walls. It just takes manpower and
a willingness to do away with the cheap, throw-away labor that helps unethical
business owners keep their prices low. Beyond that, each state should take away
the incentives for illegal immigrants to stick around--no welfare, no college
aid, employment eligibility verification, etc.
