Question 2 As illegal immigration becomes an arising problem in the world today, we as American’s need to find a more effective way to prevent illegals in the United States. This is not a severe crime, but if they are not paying taxes and participating like a citizen then they should be forced to leave or become a citizen. A punishment for the illegal immigrants needs to be developed soon so that they are not just freely welcomed to sneak over. “Some people feel that the United States will be taken over by Hispanic individuals, and others feel that this is not ever going to happen” (A Look at Foreign Policy Issues). No one really knows how to perfectly regulate how many immigrants to let in, in order to keep a good balance among us. The plethora of immigrants scares many Americans because they do not want to lose their jobs. Others believe that we should let them in, so that the illegal immigrants “have to pay for schooling, housing, food and medical care” (A Look at Foreign Policy Issues). The United States of America lets in approximately 70,000-80,000 immigrants per year. One of the most asked questions about that is, “How are we going to provide for this many people?” (A Look at Foreign Policy Issues). This is another issue that can only be resolved with the perfect amount of compromise between both sides of the argument, so that everyone is content. I believe that illegal aliens should definitely be disciplined for entering our country without permission. They should have to start paying taxes and insurance immediately. Also, there should be a small fine they are required to pay for sneaking around in our country. Depending on the amount of kids it should range from about $1000-$5000. Just by implementing something like this into our nation would drastically decrease the amount of illegals in America. If
