The Debate in the United States About Immigration Immigration plays a huge role in the population of the United States. The United States is seen as a place for a new beginning and a place to start a new life. This country offers people the opportunity to make their own choices and have their own freedom, who are we to decide who can have these rights or not. Should Americans really have the right to deny another human being the right to live in this beautiful country? America is a wonderful place to live, so immigration should be legalized, meaning as soon as a foreigner sets foot on American soil they should be considered a US citizen or immigration should remain illegal for those who do not pass through the naturalization process? Many people may look down on immigration because they see immigrants simply coming to the United States and ?taking? jobs by less fortunate Americans, that in all honesty those Americans aren't willing to do those jobs anyway, but it still remains a huge debate.

Another question that is asked very often is why a foreigner would be willing to risk their life to come to the country and not want to make their residency legal, if the difficult part of their journey is already over. Why wouldn't they take the time to make their stay legal when... halfway through the document... I was saying:? I don't think immigrants have the right to become US citizens as soon as they immigrate to the US? Mrs. Woods believed that immigrants absolutely had to go through the naturalization process and that they had to earn the right to live in this country. He's right about that, and I believe that immigrants should earn the right to come and reside in this country legally, but when you look at many Americans, do you really think that most of them deserve to live in this country in the first place?
