Cole suggests that the American government should reduce certain services provided only to American citizens and not to the immigrants that are considered illegitimate. For instance, aliens should only be provided some type of healthcare and education for school age children. He claims that these services should be provided in order to protect the United States from issues further in the future. If healthcare was declined to those who live in the U.S undocumented, then America could eventually be at risk for certain diseases that may not have been treated because they were not able to receive treatment. We have to be considerate of the fact that immigrants may not be here in a legal bind but they are still here physically and we make contact with them on frequent basis. In my opinion, I believe that that the state of California should be responsible for enforcing immigrant laws but not for the financial burden of having illegal immigrants. The federal government should be responsible for the funding of the immigrant who have made America their new home. Ultimately immigration is not just California’s issue, granted that they may have more than a state that doesn’t surround other countries, but it is America’s problem. Therefore, the Federal government should handle all of the costs of hosting immigrants no matter the cost.
