Theory on Immigration

Illegal immigration is, and always will be, a very heated topic. Opposing sides will probably never really come to agree on numerous problems that arise. Jobs is the number one issue when it comes down to whether Americans think illegal immigrants shoud be here or not. Many different sites help to illustrate my feelings on this subject because the authors can't distinguish between the help and the harm they provide for America and its economy. This argument could be eliminated if laws were constructed to assure salary wages have a limit as to how much the employers can lower them. In essence, this would help both native born and foreigners. Equal opportunity for both and no one would be forced to live in poverty.This would be appreciated on the opposing sides because immigrants would have the same chance to get a job and work for a better life for the family and citizens couldn't be mad because they will be no discrimination against those who would want higher salaries. The prices that the immigrant are working for are still keeping them in poverty. In 1999 native born people accounted for 11.2 percent of poverty while 16.8 percent of people under poverty level were immigrants. And an alarming 25.8 of Mexican immigrants were living in poverty. They have much lower incomes than that of natives. It begs the question of why immigrants are here if they are facing some of the same things that happened in their home countries. And once again to solve this problem would be to issue a mandated high or higher salary of what they have now. But this isn't going to happen if the government is continuing to be influenced by employers who benefit so much by these actions.
