United States Immigration Policy
Immigration is the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. The Immigration Policy is a long and lengthy process in The United States. It provides a controversial debate, for some people want it and some do not. Others have a problem with the Immigration Policy itself, anywhere from the rules and regulations to the enforcement of it. I don’t agree with the United States’ Immigration Policy because of the border security, job displacement, and the pathway to citizenship. The Immigration Policy consists of two ways to become a United States Citizen. The first is to be a citizen by birth and the second is called Naturalization.

I think that the Naturalization process works but I don’t agree with the born on U.S. territory part of the policy. People from Mexico cross the border everyday just so that they can have their baby be an American Citizen. These “anchor babies” are allowing tons of people to stay where they shouldn’t be. Hospitals report women soaking wet, from the swim in the Rio Grande, who are in labor. They can’t turn these people away and so the baby is born a U.S. Citizen. I think the interpretation should be changed so if your parent is a U.S. citizen then so are you. I also don’t like the border security, it doesn’t seem to work seeing as there are 11.4 million undocumented, unauthorized people living in the U.S. There is nothing keeping them from walking across the border, illegals cross it all the time. They come over here for a better life but don’t go through the proper channels and expect Americans to pay for their expenses. Next illegal aliens take all the available American jobs. People argue that Americans willingly don’t take these jobs. That they set their standards above a McDonald’s job but the truth is that employers intentionally lower wages driving Americans from those jobs. It’s not that Americans don’t want minimum wage it’s the fact that we know that we should be payed more, that what employers are doing is wrong. In 2010, workers at Mission Foods Tortilla Factory went on strike because employers dramatically lowered the wages and Mexican managers intentionally hired undocumenteds. Undocumenteds will work at anything because it’s the only source of income, they aren’t supposed to be here so they can’t complain about low wages. Employers know this and they take advantage of it because who wouldn’t want to spend less money on labor and personally earn
