The US Immigration System

Illegal Immigration The United States share a border with Mexico that stretches 1,989 miles. The estimated amount of people who have illegally crossed the border is over 330 million. The United States allows immigrants to come to the country and encourage it, since immigrants founded the United States. In order to maintain the country, a system has been put into place to integrate immigrants legally into the country. This system has been failing and a new system needs to be put into place.

People and nature have caused people to be pushed from their home. These forces have cause many problems socially. Mexico has encountered multiple catalysts for immigration.

Then, the child will receive the healthcare they needed in order to survive. In America, the government hasn’t established an immigrant friendly process to become a citizen.

This would restrict markets and innovation. The United States receives much from the immigrants that come to the country. The country would be severing that connection and losing invaluable assets in the process. The new process would eliminate that possibility.
