Discussing Immigration And Current Events
The new age of immigration and restrictions on immigration make it harder for people to come in to the United States. There are more issues concerning terrorism that has made the options for people to get through the border checks a lot more difficult, even if just to work legally in the united states. This is being combated against as well with native born citizens and questioning if they should even be considered natural born citizens in the united states.
More money is wasted every year to install fences to keep illegal immigrants out. The problem is that the fences do not spread across the entire borderline causing more trouble than it is worth to keep up. Immigrants will either climb the fences or dig under reinforced fences. They can even walk an extra day or two to get around the fence if they were incapable of climbing or digging through. It makes the fences a very inefficient idea.
There are many legal processes that can be taken to get into the United States legally. They often take time and can cost money but us the best way to stay in the country without having to be forced to leave right away. Many immigrants want to take the easy way in and get smuggled or try to cross the border on their own. This can be very dangerous and the smugglers may even sell the immigrants into slavery.
No matter where you are from, if you do not take the appropriate legal actions to come into the United States, you will be asked to leave and even forced if you do not comply. This makes immigration harder especially in light of the terrorist attacks made on September 11, 2001. It is better to allow for the government to educate the people and guide them into making the choice to legally enter the united states on their own by lowering restrictions and giving illegal immigrants a chance to do the right thing.
Security is not really the issue here. Many times the concept of security and related forms of government interaction are just ways to divert attention from what is really going on behind the scenes. News and the media help to draw attention away from important matters as well as providing many false claims and misinforming the North American citizens about immigration practices.
Taking the right steps towards becoming a citizen or legally allowed to enter the country should be in the government’s best interest. Going into Mexico and setting up booths and information about how to enter the country legally will help those who wish to enter legally and hopefully prevent the loss of lives through desert and ocean.
Closing Comments
You will always hear about immigration news in the media along with a distorted sense of how things work in other countries. This can lead to false feelings towards legal immigrants and create racial tension between groups that normally would coexist fine.
