Immigration

On the blog called, "What was that!?" "Oh, that is just immigration." , Robert Toohey wrote about immigration as something that we need to accept. There are not a whole lot of things we could do to prevent it. Building a wall would help but it would cost a lot to do. I don’t think that our country would make that a number one priority with us being in a recession.

I agreed with Robert on the fact that our country is not doing so well economically. There are things that our country has that are better than other countries. My family left Vietnam because the United States was a little better than where they were, so they moved here and got their green card. I also agreed about how "our job crisis is going to get worse whether they come in or not.” It does not really matter if they come in to our country. I don’t think it would make a difference in crime, discrimination, job crisis or any problems at all. We are having problems with them coming in or going out of our country either way.

I think the idea of immigration is a good one because we could learn knew cultures and meet new people. I remember from history class that our country is the melting pot of cultures (or something like that). We see so many ethnicities here in our country and many of them living here have their green card or citizenship.
