Immigration+Becomes+Problematic

Questioning the Borders:
 ====Immigrants from our neighboring countries have always been welcome in the US. Looking for steady jobs and more opportunity for freedom, Mexican citizens have always crossed the border into our Southwestern states to follow their dreams. In 2007, wanting to escape the troubles lying in their own countries, Mexicans and other immigrants began to enter our country and live illegally. This issue became serious fast, and actions became violent at some points along the border. As illegal immigrants flooded US grounds, the immediate action was to increase border patrol, which injured many and even killed innocent foreigners. The border patrol may not be the ones to blame, however. Business owners in the early 21st century are said to have made it easy for illegal immigrants to smuggle their way into getting the job and keeping it. The problem our country faced with these immigrants was a draw between their willingness to take any job, and the possibility of fraud and crime coming from these “aliens”. This issue was eased slightly by enforcing stricter rules at every border as well as lowering the violence to keep the innocent alive.==== [|"Implications for US Immigration Policy" Discussion Transcript]
