Humans have always been protective of territory, the earliest human skeletons have been found with arrowheads in them. Wars have been fought, empires have been toppled by invading neighbors, and governments have been endangered from mounting political pressures of immigrating peoples. The Germanic immigrants of the Roman Empire and their political involvement are argued to be a major contributor to the demise of their regional control. But whatever the reason, immigration was a heated debate then, and it is now.
The wealth of nations and proximity are the largest contributors to immigration, so the debate continues in America and abroad. The promise of prosperity and the romantic deception of capitalism and free markets to those who are willing to work for it is a compelling reason to jump boarders. But these undocumented workers cost American jobs and tax revenue. Many questions arise of what to do about the immigrant situation.
“Should we just grant them amnesty”? We could, and at least then they could be documented for tax purposes. But the problem of job availability still remains, business owners want to open up boarders because it makes the work force more competitive, but carries the unintended consequences of depreciating the quality of life for the American working family.
“Should we create laws that allow us to profile in the interests of deportation”? Although an aggressive and effective plan, it is not a permanent fix to a persistent problem. Plus the problems of legality come into question.
Whatever the case it is easy to see how there are multiple angles and viewpoints of what to do and how to do it. Both positive and negative impressions of policies in place, and future
