Immigration

It's kind of a touchy subject, but important. Since I live in Austin, Texas (which is near the border of the U.S. and Mexico), we have plenty of illegal immigrants. They come here, I think. mostly for jobs, because they work harder than the average American, for less. What our government does about this, is what is constantly being debated. We try to deport any many as we can, and while this seems pretty harsh because they work hard, they aren't paying taxes because they aren't registered, so it affects our economy for the worse.

Hey, Will. I'm sorry that I do you every week. No one else posts. It's bad. =(.
You're right about them coming for jobs. That could be one of the biggest saving factors of our government and and nation's economy. And it's funny, how they get paid way less to do a better job (sometimes) than a higher paid American. And I think that all of the major deportion of the average, HARD working illegal is sort of wrong, because they are providing America with a service and helping the economy, so it really doesn't matter that if they pay taxes until they are registered. If they take benefits, in most cases they pay them back with their work.

Thank You.
