My Make: Letter to the Next President
Welcoming illegal immigrants is a very old concern in the United States of America. Illegal immigrants get to live in the United States without paying taxes. They are working jobs that should be offered to Americans. Because they are desperately working for a lesser salary " under the table" they get the job every time. Not only are they not paying taxes they are also taking Americans job. When they get their green card some are allowed to collect public assistance before paying taxes. To add insult to injury Americans endure the legal bill of the processing of illegal criminals “Dangerous criminals, including murderers, are being released every day because their home countries will not cooperate in taking them back,” Grassley wrote in a June 27 letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson" which causes our taxes to increase. American's taxes pay to process them going to jail, for their trail, and their livelihood in jail. If their crime constitutes a program upon their release taxes payers foots the bill. An agreement was made with some countries that " Illegal immigrants convicted of crimes typically must serve all or part of their prison sentences in the U.S., and then are sent home under diplomatic agreements between the U.S. and other countries." but guess what happens when the other countries refuses to live up to their agreement. " More than 2,000 illegal immigrants were turned loose on American streets after serving prison sentences last year - often because their home countries refused to take them back - and many subsequently committed crimes including rape and murder" this situation must be addressed immediately. We are " sitting ducks" waiting for them to violate us. Americans that commit crimes are not given that option.
My opinion is the immigrants that reside in America should be allowed to stay. Starting today only permanent residency applications should be offered to people looking to transition to America. Immigrants should be made to pay taxes for at lease a year before being allowed to collect public assistance.
