Reader Feedback
I think as a young peson illegal immigration has come to the forefront of my attention. Due to the fact that the ever increasing amount of illegal aliens in our country has severly effected our lower to middle class groups in getting a good paying job. The rate at which companies are willing to hire these illegal aliens to do cheap work has made it hard for some Americans to get or even hold a low paying job. I mean think about it if you could hire a guy to work and pay him only $5/hour why even bother to find an american to do that same job and have to pay him $8/hour. Thats why the government should be more invloved in policing communities to make sure that if you want to work in america then you have to be legal. It is true that most of our grandparents were imigrants, but most of them entered this country legally and without ignorance. Most of which would be happy to say they took a low paying job and worked thier way up the ladder. America's work ethic is not what it once was
