    The true origins of illegal immigration have been linked to the early 1900’s and the end of the bracero program in 1964. In the early 1900’s, the United States did not consider illegal immigration to be an issue. As a matter of fact, up until 1914, points of entry were left largely unprotected and members of society were able to freely come and go.

Trump claims that the Democrats aren’t helping when it comes to immigration reform, but Republicans can benefit from an immigration reform in terms of sending people back to their countries. Trump believes that any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans. Trump plans on implementing a wall to limit the amount of…

The middle class are losing jobs to illegal immigrants because they are willing to work for less. State systems are going bankrupt over providing social services to these people and hospitals are never seeing a dime due to the “free health care” they have to provide. Our economy isn’t benefiting either. Illegal Immigrants hardly have to pay taxes,…
