The biggest issue with illegal immigration is the fact the Dream act states that this supposedly is going to give them a path to citizenship while we are being told "if the person has a clean record and no criminal past, they can be a part of this nation". I have several issues regarding that, the biggest issue is that for an illegal alien to have come into this country, they would have either had to
A) Cross the border illegally hence violating our laws
B) Overstayed a visa, which is also violating our laws.
Anyone who has come to this nation even if they are out of status can do a adjustment of status legally but they have to pay fees as is, this basically rewards illegal aliens for criminal behavior by automatically granting them a green card and a path to citizenship which is wrong.
What about many legal aliens or people who have filed for visas and are waiting for years to be accepted? Those who have paid their dues, have learned English or are already paying taxes legally?
The issue with illegal immigration is that there is no legal way for that individual to work unless they are
A) Working under the table since they would have to file for work authorization and that is not possible unless your undergoing a adjustment of status
B) Working with fraudulent documents or stolen documents which impacts the individual who's identity was stolen.
This law is backwards in every possible way, I cannot imagine any nation in the world allowing this to happen.
We're told it's not possible to deport all 11 million illegal immigrants but yet we're told it's possible for public benefits to be issued to every individual who has come here illegally. It's true we can't physically deport 11 million illegal immigrants in a day, but there are other things that can be done. We can enforce current laws against employing someone without a social security number, companies caught employing illegal aliens would be heavily fined and executives face possible jail time for violation, prevent issuing benefits to someone without social security or citizenship, that would clean up a lot of the issues.
I don't have problems with tourists who want to come here, but the main reason illegal aliens come here is to break the law hence why they are illegal, that in it's self would cut down on illegal immigrants.
The people who are already here legally, I don't have an issue with.
