There are a lot of things going on in the world that are concerning me. One of the major things is illegal immigration. America is full of immigrants and I'm not against that. What I am against are all the people that are sneaking into this country. All legal citizens work hard and have to pay taxes to help maintain the roads, for public schools, and to the government. But illegal aliens don’t do any of this. They get to work without having to give any of the money they make back to the government. We in turn end up having to pay when they go to the hospital without any insurance or when they get arrested. A lot of crime is done by illegal immigrants. I think that something drastic needs to be done to solve this problem. Our borders need to be tightened and there needs to be more of a punishment if illegal alien’s are caught crossing the border. Right now we just send them right back to Mexico and that’s it. They have no reason not to keep trying to come back in. If there was more of a punishment, then this would deter them from continually trying to come to America illegally. If they are able to go through the proper procedures to be in this country, then I am all for them being here. But until then, I think they should stay in the country they were born in.
