In many ways, illegal immigration has changed immigration to the U. S. in general, such as how immigrants can get their green cards, which has caused a lot of problems for legal immigrants. A lady that I know immigrated from Mexico a few years back, and she has now settled a home in Austin with a loving family and a good job. She has filled out the required papers multiple times for a green card and has sent them in multiple times for the U.S. government to approve. The United States government has gotten so caught up with stopping illegal immigrants that they forget about the legal ones. This lady so far has not been able to get her papers approved by the government for a green card yet, which means that if she ever goes back to Mexico, she can't come back to the U.S. Her dad is works for the Mexican government, and he too has tried his best to fix this whole mess.
Overall, illegal or legal, once you get here as an immigrant, the U.S. government should allow you to stay and work to become a legal citizen. It takes years to legalize an immigrant in the United States, but once your here, you should be welcomed and be able to stay. If someone is so desperate for a new and better life that they'd break the law to get one, then why not? Good people deserve to live in a country that gives power to the people. They've done nothing wrong by wanting a better life in a good country. If their records clean then why not give them a better life?

Hey Olivia, it's Juliet again. I do agree with you that illegal immigration is one of the big prob;ems in the United States this year. It's a very big controversy that can pratically be debated over for hours and hours. I really do believe that we should do something about the border because the immigrants keep finding ways to smuggle drugs to this country which is only making the healthy and the U.S. economy worse. I think that it was very insightful of you to say that southwest Texas is home to many of the immigrants making Texas' diverse community as a whole. Every bit of that is true. That's pretty amazing that you actually had a primary source. The government is rather unorganized. I don't agree about the illegal or legal immigrant part where you talk about admitting them as a legal citizen because the illegal ones don't deserve the same rights that we do if they broke the law coming into the U.S. in the first place. I know that many illegal immigrants are in search of a better life. but if they break the law stepping on American soil for the first time, what other laws will they break? But I do agree that the legalize citizens should be treated with more equality.
