On March 25, 500,000 people, mostly Hispanics, marched in the streets of downtown Los Angeles in protest to a bill that congress is attempting to pass that would make being in the U.S. illegally a felony. Many are outraged over the proposal of the law, they believe it keeps people from living out their dreams in this nation, they also say that the illegal immigrants do jobs that Americans refuse to do. These two arguments have truly been over exaggerated and it's about time that our nation addresses the sensitive issue of illegal immigration. I don't understand why everyone is getting upset that we are finally putting our foot down as a nation and saying "this needs to stop", today there are over 12 million undocumented people living in the U.S., there isn't even 12 million people living in Cuba, so what does that say about the issue? If you live in a nation that has more than 12 million people living there that are not documented then it is not only irresponsible on the United States part, but it's dangerous as well.

Takeaways
  • Illegal immigrants account for 27% of the total federal prison population.
  • There are more illegal immigrants in the U.S then the total Cuban population.
  • 1.1 million illegal immigrants will enter the U.S in 2006.
Did You Know?
Immigrant use of welfare programs is 43 percent higher than non-immigrants' use.

The land of the "dream",which i think is bullshit, is build from immigrants. If you where to trace your roots and how America came about, then you'll understand why we,I'm a immigrant, are to the so called "land of the free". Immigrant abandon their country to seek for a better life for their family and them self. The problem is the country leaders,the same goes for America before we migrant, they need to step up and provide a suitable condition for survival. Once that problem is corrected as it should have been done
