Peoples” Opinions on Immigration
While at the library with a group of my friends, we were studying together in the UNCC
Atkins Library. Once we had free time, I decided to ask them their thoughts on immigration, the
positives and negatives of it, and if they knew any history of immigration, Because five people
were with me, I received a variety of answers, many surprisingly similar, and a few even
incorrect. O¥er the course of thirty minutes, there were a few responses that were truly good.
The question that had the most responses when asked was when I asked about their
joughts on immigration and whether it was a good or bad thing. One of my friends said it
should be regulated the same way it is now, but make sure to give the illegal immigrants more
jobs because they can be paid under the minimum wage. Another said that immigration is good
but could regulated better and that illegal immigrants should not be given jobs. When I asked
two of my roommates, they simply responded by saying, “THE SOUTH WILL RISE
AGAINI!!!” Obviously, they are both against immigration and truly patriotic. = 04 DE /
‘Another question I asked everyone was if they had any immigration stories. One simply
said when their father came to America, it was very easy for him, but he had many complications
when he sold alcohol to a ten year old, not realizing there were laws against it. Another person TSaha 2
asked said that it took him ten years to get his citizenship because of his parents, but it was very
easy. My two white roommates had no answer to this because they were born here.
