Illegal Aliens Vs Illegal Immigrants

Improved Essays
If Americans cross the boarder to Mexico illegally, they are arrested on the spot. If Mexicans cross the same exact boarder without any documentation, Americans are expected to welcome them with open arms. Illegal aliens bring crime, take jobs, and bring a second language. Immigrants who come to America, commit crime, get deported, come back and commit the same exact crime are known as career criminals. Why would the American government allow this to happen? If immigrants crossed the boarder illegally once, then it won’t be hard for them to do it again because they know the system. “The foreign- born, who make up roughly 35% of California’s adult population, constitute 17% of the state prison population.” (Riley) With illegal immigrants taking

    America is a melting pot of different nationalities coming together as one. Most everyone who lives in America either originates from a different country or their ancestors came to America looking for opportunity. Since America is made up of immigrants that arrived in our country years ago, it is reasonable to conclude that America would have an open door policy for everyone today. In reality, immigrants don’t arrive at Ellis Island and simply walk off the boat becoming a U.S. citizen anymore. There is a long and strict process in place created by our federal government to become a legal resident of the United States.…

    The fact that the movie is called Wetback is to show just how much social inequality there is for these illegal immigrants. Just to try to live the “American dream”, these people go through checkpoints, starvation, possible robbery, and among other, even death. While the people of the United States have their own sense of poverty, it is much more prevalent in the southern countries. There isn’t a lot of work to be given around in the countries, and a lot of their money comes from what illegal and legal immigrants send back to their families from America. There isn’t a lot of cleanliness in their countries, nor fresh water or enough supplies.…
