Immigration.... again?

My fellow classmate has an very interesting argument about the issue of immigration. Our Government is dealing with the immigration issue for more than two to three decade. As I read Albert's post about illegal aliens in Texas, I, too agree that supporting or preventing illegal immigrants is a difficult issue to solve. The more than $4.7 billion in costs incurred by Texas taxpayers annually result from outlays in the Education, Health care, Incarceration. The bills that are being presented that allow illegal aliens, but "punishes" them is a great approach to it. Trying to prevent and deport all the illegal immigrants would end up causing Texas to spend even more money. Also, the idea of denying the illegal aliens wouldn't be a guarantee success due to major loopholes.

The immigrants comes in by the thousands each day, so deporting them all of the illegals is hard if thousands are going to come flooding in again. Statistically, there are many benefits that some may overlook, though; some can argue that illegal immigration causes nothing but trouble “and money is coming out of our pockets for nothing.” Also, a sense of morality sets in. Seeing how most, if not all, of the illegal immigrants are working for dirt paying salaries brings about a sense of pity. Some can also argue that due to the large amounts of influence from the immigrants, some fear that Texas would one day completely lose its culture.

The solution I think might work will be like giving illegal immigrant a green card of some kind of status where they can pay taxes, that’s what we need and secure the border so than no more illegal immigrant would able to come in this country. As more and more people will apply for citizenship, revenue will increase and by no time we will see this problem getting to disappear and revenue will flow.
