Essay on Immigration
Immigration is a major problem facing the U.S. today. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants flock to this country every year. Some legally, others illegally. Some are escaping from religious and political oppression while others come to seek out the 'American Dream'. Either way they are causing nationwide problems. Non-English speaking workers take jobs away from American people because they will work for cheaper wages. Illegal immigrants receive welfare and health care and the money to fund this comes straight from us, the citizens of the United States. Some limitations have to be put on the number of immigrants allowed each year and much stricter border patrols must be installed. Harsher punishments and frequent checks are necessary to keep corporations from hiring illegal aliens. We need to do something about this problem before its to late.
The number of legal immigrants should definitely be lowered to a much more reasonable number.

We need to focus on problems facing American citizens, such as poverty, AIDS, cancer, and unemployment. We don't need 300,00 more people to deal with, we have enough problems with the currents population.

The educated people are the immigrants that will cause this country to flourish and they are the ones that should be encouraged to migrate to the U.S.
With some many problems facing the U.S. now, we need to worry about ourselves and try to get ourselves on track...
