The Harsh Truth behind Illegal Immigration

by AV

What is deportation and how does it affect illegal immigrants?
People become illegal immigrants in one of three ways first by entering without authorization or inspection, secondly by staying beyond the authorized period after legal entry,and finally by violating the terms of legal entry.There have been an estimated 400,000 to 700,000 illegal immigrants that have entered the United States each year since the year 1992.That means that there are between 6,400,000 and11,200,000illegal immigrants in the United States right now if not more.that is how many people are illegal immigrants in the United States and you just learned how they become illegal immigrants but what is that word Deportation mean? The meaning of the word deportation is the expulsion of someone from a place or country.In fact in the year 2005 200,000 illegal immigrants got deported.

What is being done about illegal Immigration?
Ever since the September 11 incident the United States has reinforced National securely in search of putting an end to illegal Immigration.Has it made it better or worse? It all depends on the point of view you have.If you are an illegal immigrant things have gotten worse but if you are an anti-immigrant person things have gotten better.You see in the year 2008 Arizona passed an anti-immigration law that has left undocumented workers as well as Business owners worried and we are just still in January.This law says that as of January 1, 2008, all business owners with work sites in Arizona are subject to loss of their state and local licenses if they knowingly or intentionally hire undocumented workers. This law has left many employers without employees and many illegal immigrants without a job!

The Sacrifice
People should realize before judging these illegal immigrants the sacrifices they ave made to get here.Many people would argue that the reason so many illegal immigrants come to this country is because they are poor. I think the real reason for the illegal immigration problem is as simple as people that are in search for a better life for them selves or for their family.I honestly believe that is not a bad reason because really we are all looking for that ,even if we were born in The United States ,Mexico,Asia etc.I think that those people that are against illegal immigrants must have their reasoning and it is their opinion.However I think that they should at least here the reasoning of those millions of undocumented people.

What can we do to help?
One of the many things legal citizens can do to help the not so fortunate illegal immigrants is by voting.Even though many people say to them selves how can that help? Voting actually helps in more ways than you think. For one if you are the kind of person that doesn't like the government we now have you can do something about it by voting!Another way is by taking to our governors it doesn't matter if you are undocumented you can still call them or send them a letter your governor can then help out. We can all help out or at least try this s a problem that affects us all.It is something we all need to help with.
