What is the TRUE reason for our immigration problem?

Question

I'd really like to know what you think the real reason(s) is/are. Don't spare the flames.

Answer 1

Cost to Country and People is complaint here.

Poor life and wanting more and Bad Goverment there.

Answer 2

The true reason? Depends on what your viewpoint is...

I think the "true reason" is that there is not enough done by the Mexican government to build their own govnerment and infrastructure to support the economy. Mexico has the potential to have a huge low wage labor force that can at least take some of what China has been doing.

Additionally, the policy in the US is either you are one of us or you aren't. It would be very wise to have a large guest worker program. This way the guest workers would have a legal position if injured or sick. Additionally, they would not have to worry about illegallly crossing the border. The employeers could guarantee that many of the same reliable workers would return and keep production high. Further, there would be payroll taxes and other benefits that would legitimize those who cross the border illegally...and the coyotes would largely be put out of business.

Answer 3

In the days of Jimmy Carter when he actively stopped with no explaination or reason stopped deporting illegals because he was a wuss President. That was built upon the first action in 1965 when Ted convinced everyone to go off the quota system and onto the merit system - to have an unlimited amount of people come here illegally - then in 1986 Reagan announced we lost control of our border and Congress couldn't care less so he made 3 million citizens - and the hits just keep on coming!!!

Now the Senate Bill with Ted will be the first of a number of laws and policies to extinguish the American citizen as you know it. It cannot be permitted to happen. Our country is scheduled to start taking orders from foreign nationals in 2010 - Oh, Bush didn't tell you? Well niether did he tell Congress.

TOM TANCREDO FOR PRESIDENT!!

Answer 4

I think the biggest reason is that we have universal education and our next door neighbor doesn't. How many parents move for better school districts much less for subsidized education altogether?

If there were a smaller number of them, and when it was a smaller number it wasn't as big a problem. However, education is failing for our own children now in border states, with the huge drain on our overcrowded, underfunded schools.

The second biggest reason is that big business and Bush like letting cheap labor in and don't care about the impact on the schools. As a result, the immigration laws we have are not being enforced.

Answer 5

The law has changed too much and people today can't come to US unless they win the Green Card Lottery. If your ancestors had to win a lottery, none of YOU would be here now.
But back then the borders were open, anyone could just show up and get citizenship.
Citizens of many countries(like Mexico or Russia) cannot participate in the GC lottery. So Mexicans are forced to pay $2,500 a smuggler to be able to work for at least $1,000, which they make for 5 months in Mexico.

O, tempora, o , mores!

Answer 6

JD sure has this one! He has all the info and he knows for what he is talking about! All we would have to do is hit all the employers of illegal immigrants hard enough to make it not worthwhile financially for them to continue hiring illegal immigrants, and the illegals would take themselves on back out of the USA and without any deportation costs borne by the citizens.

The TRUE reason for our ILLEGAL immigration problem (we don't have a LEGAL immigration problem), is the EMPLOYERS of illegal immigrants! Plain and simple. Secondary, I would say is the lack of education of the illegal immigrants - they are mostly uneducated and ignorant and so don't know enough to know how to do things right and in their own countries.

Answer 7

Politics

Answer 8

the true reason is ignorance!
a lot of immigrants come here to work (or make easy money) because they grew up hearing that this country is a tree of money, that everything is easy here, and that you can sue any and everybody.
a lot of americans want to kick immigrants out because they are not like them and because they are taking "our jobs".
they are both wrong.
it takes hard work to make it here ( or a rich daddy or mommy) and they are not taking your jobs, they are doing the work you dont want do do.
i bet the same people that complaint are the same people that choose to hire the contractor that charged them a couple of thousand dollars less to do a repair in their homes. think about it, why are you paying less?

Answer 9

I firmly believe that via our corruptament, as I call it, the push to establish the NWO, "New World Order" of which is a massive government that will control all nations as one, is gaining ground via many sources such as our most elite members of the past, and current administrations, the house and senate, and a huge list of extremely rich industrialists, corporate heads, and globalists throughout the world, thus the invasion of outlaws into our country is yet another means to weaken and divide our nation by catering to the outlaws via welfare, free medical care, and anything else they stick their miserable cowardly we're so helpless hands out for.

Answer 10

Well one legitimate argument I have heard against "illegal immigration" is that schools are overcrowded enough without "illegal immigrant children" into "our" schools. We need more schools and more tax dollars generated in order to compensate for the already inadequate school systems of America.
I use quotes because i usually dont use words like illegal to describe human beings, and I certainly make no claims to this land (America) as my possession exclusively.

Answer 11

Everybody has an opinion on it and those opinions are based on stereotypes and are usually not accurate. I'm not saying I know the root of the problem either but so long as I can live in peace and raise and protect my family, I will not worry about things like that.
