Immigration

Both Sides
Democrats

Republicans

Want to help legalize the illegal immigrants that

are already in the United States.

They want to build a wall to stop them from

crossing.

If they are not here in the United States they can

come over in the U.S. on a work visa and earn
their citizenship.

They want all the Hispanics gone out of the U.S.

Because they are taking Americans jobs, but if
you think about it their are more poor white
people than Hispanics because Americns are
lazy.

Since 1980, Mexicans have been the largest

immigrant group in the United States.

Mexicans represent the largest unauthorized

immigrant group in the United States. The
majority of Mexican immigrants were male,
seasonal farm laborers who regularly traveled
back and forth across the border.

Immigration Reform And Control Act- Is an Act

of Congress which reformed United States
immigration.
Legalized illegal immigrants who entered the
United States before January 1, 1982 and had
resided there continuously with the penalty of a
fine, back taxes due, and admission of guilt;
candidates were required to prove that they
were not guilty of crimes, that they were in the
country before January 1, 1982.

As crossing the border became more difficult, and as economic changes in

the United States opened additional jobs to low-skilled foreign workers,
immigrants began to settle permanently, bringing their families to live in the
United States. Between 1990 and 2010 more than 7.5 million Mexican
immigrantsmany of whom were unauthorizedarrived.
More recently, Mexican immigration to the United States has begun to
declinemarking at least a pause, and possibly an end. Declining inflows
appear to reflect the impact of the Great Recession, improved educational
and economic opportunities in Mexico, and ever-tougher border enforcement.

*Texas (21 percent)
*Illinois (6 percent)

*Los Angeles County in

California

What I Think
What I think we should do is just get tougher on our IRCA laws- Not necessarily by building a wall but by hiring
more people to be border patrol

Make Hispanics legal but make them earn their citizenship.

United States should just not take over Mexico but Mexico to become part of the United States.
