The current state of immigration in this country is totally out of control. Current immigration laws are not properly enforced, borders are not fully protected, and as a result quality of life has negatively impacted the United States. In the 1980s, there were 9,000 illegal immigrants locked up in federal and state prisons, which are currently overloaded. Today, 352,000 are incarcerated in overcrowded conditions. Of these hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have been imprisoned, 27,000 have committed repeat crimes. According to discoverthenetworks.org, “In Los Angeles, 95% of murder warrants are issued for illegal immigrants. Furthermore, in California, 60% of Hispanic gangs are made up of illegal immigrants” (p.1). In Nevada, 80% of the drug influx comes from Mexico. Most of the drugs were trafficked by illegal immigrants. As a result, coercive control of illegal immigrants costs taxpayers more than $1.6 billion annually. However, all of these immigration problems could be prevented if the US Congress could reform immigration. Although the increase in the government budget is my biggest concern, there are also other arguments that point to this mandatory solution. The history of immigration is an important factor that can guide the future for effective legislation. Successive waves of immigration to the United States came from colonial society from all corners of the globe. The major waves of immigration occurred between 1830 and 1880 by northwestern Europeans and also between 1880 and 1920, by eastern and southern Europeans (Sue Lecture). Over the years, public and political attitudes towards this phenomenon have been emotionally conflicting, paradoxical and, to a greater extent, downright hostile. ...... middle of the sheet ...... d workers(Sue Lecture). This is totally unfair to the undocumented workers who work hard every day. Government incentives include examples such as medical care (emergency care and life-saving situations), bilingual education, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security benefits, welfare benefits, food stamps, and housing (Sue Lecture). The fourth point is to require all undocumented workers to come out and register with local authorities and obtain legal status. The fifth point is to develop a roster where newly declared immigrants can help American businesses remain competitive in the global marketplace. In summary, the best way to solve the immigration problem is for Congress to pass the immigration reform bill in the next congressional session and provide a mechanism to integrate immigrants into the 21st century economy by maximizing the force human work..
