It has been an on-going battle that seems to lead merely to failure. The southwestern states in particular have been struggling with the illegal crossing of the American border by its counter parts to the south. When main stream media broadcasts television shows on a daily basis of hundreds if not thousands of illegal aliens crossing the border every day, it is hard not to believe we are fighting a losing battle. With the technology that America has available today, the majority of Americans ask
Illegal immigration was an issue in the past and is a pressing problem in the present. The U.S. Government has been trying to find a resolution to this issue for years. The United States approved the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986, which allowed the American Government to punish American companies that consciously employed illegal immigrants (Nadadur 1037-1052).

Immigration in the United States is a very sensitive topic. Trough out the years the government in the United States have been developing different reforms regarding immigration that unfortunately have not helped to provide a fair solution to illegal immigrants.

Alien skilled laborers, under these laws, were allowed to enter the U.S. to work in new industries. By this time anti-immigrant
Illegal Aliens: Appropriate or Belligerent In the 21st century being “political correct” has not only become a conversation between amongst peers but it is now swaying our political processes and presidential race.

Immigration has always been a part of human history and always will be. North Asian tribes crossed the Beringia Land Bridge to the Americas millions of years ago, people in the ancient era flocked to Rome; the biggest and most advanced city for the time, and Latin Americans have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border to seek a better life in the United States.

I believe that it would be in the United States best interest to increase our military
Immigration has been a cause of tension in America for many decades. It is a continuous battle between the Senators, the Representatives, the President, and of course the people currently residing in the United States. Immigration not only exists now, but it has affected many generations in the past as well. It is a topic that has been the cause of thousands of unresolved controversies.
