Summary
Whether you're a loving liberal or a compassionate conservative, you have to admit that the idea of immigration has changed in the last 100 years. It's been well publicized by immigration supporters that without migrants, America would never have become the world power that it is. And I don't disagree with that. But times have changed. We are now a country with over 300 million people. We now are a country under attack by terrorists looking to cross our borders every day. We are now a country with so many illegal immigrants that taxpayers are paying $70 billion per year to deal with them. We are now a country that must reform our immigration laws in order to protect our homeland, reduce our budget, and create freedom and equality for all citizens.
While America is the land of immigrants, it should never become the land of illegal immigrants. Congress must take President [George Bush]'s words to heart and pass comprehensive reform on this issue. And it must be done quickly. America is losing too much money paying for illegal aliens. And worse, America is in 'danger when we have an unsecured border and millions of undocumented people roaming the country. We should all contact our congressmen and encourage them to bring the immigration issue back on the table. Although it will be a lively debate with much heated discourse, one can only hope that our lawmakers will do the right thing and recommend new immigration laws. For although we respect the right of every immigrant to become a legal American, we demand that they do not skirt our laws and live here illegally.See the full content of this document
