Thesis Statement: Mexico has the highest rate of immigration to the U. S.
, but is this becoming a problem for the U. S. America is the largest country with immigrants; this is due to the fact that immigrants are willing to do odd jobs that no one wants, which brings them money and gives them a better opportunity in life what some may say is the American life. Many Mexicans are coming to America for many reasons; some people come to gain a better opportunity for them and their family; while others are looking to escape challenges in their homes.
Some Americans think this is a change for the better, while others think otherwise. America is trying to clamp down on illegal immigration problem; to pass laws that would tighten the nation’s border and make it a felony to be in the country illegally. Some Americans have strong feelings about how dangerous to open our borders to illegal immigrants; for primarily the security threat on the America soil. Tim Kane and Kirk Johnson; doctors of philosophy from The Heritage Foundation Publication made a statement about the problem with illegal immigrants. Efforts to curtail the economic influx of migrants actually worsen the security dilemma by driving many migrant workers underground.
A non-citizen guest worker program is an essential component of securing the border, but only if it is the right program. There are numerous issues involved in such a program, but the evidence indicates that worker migration is a net plus economically. ” (Kane and Johnson Pg1. ) The argument that immigrants threat the security of American economy will always be a factor. Convincing cases can be made that illegal immigrants could hurt or help the American economy.The fact is that immigration problems will always exists in America.
Thesis Statement: Illegal immigration threatens life in the United States. Illegal immigration is an ongoing problem for all of us in the United States. While the population in illegal immigrants is growing daily it is a national issue. This is having a negative effect on the job market and taxes. Congress has been deliberating on what to do about the current situation; about improving border security, employment verification, establishing temporary guest work programs.
Medicare, food stamps and housing assistance are being given to immigrants who do not have legal status, while legal citizens are suffering and paying the price. We are facing potential violent crimes, drug distribution, murder and terrorism. The biggest problem government enforcement agencies facing is related to drug smuggling.

The United States has a tradition as welcoming the immigrants into the country. The freedom to come to America for jobs and to escape the challenges in their homeland. Many will argue that the United States requires the need of immigrants to do jobs that many Americans will not do. Americans will not take certain jobs mainly due to wages and poor working conditions.
Immigrants who participate in the guest worker program will have a positive effect on our economy, but it is a short term cure for illegal immigration.
