Immigrants

          When people hear the word immigrant they automatically think about illegals! Being an immigrant does not neccessairly mean ur illegal. Immigration is when a person leaves one country to settle in another. Personally I dont feel like immigration affects me one way or the other rather legal or illegal!  I had a brief conversation with a couple of my friends and relatives after reading a few aricles. Each of them were upset and arguing about how we "Americans" have it so much harder and how much benefits the immigrants have. They went on outraged that we have to pay taxes and pay for theyre healthcare. True, I do pay tazes and yes they are expensive A few artickes even blame certain crimes on the immigrants. Lets be honest, our "Great" judicial system which has failed us all from time to time has nothing to do with immigrants. Think about it, if there were no immigrants ever in the U.S.,would our problems completly go away? Would crime change? Would taxes go down? After asking these questions I think that i've changed a few of theyre perspectives on the whole topic!
