However, in recent years our nation has seen a sizable influx of illegal immigration that at best highlights some alarming inadequacies and at worst indicates a broken system.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Undoubtedly, there are numerous problems with the immigration system here in The United States.
I think everybody could agree that our immigration system is broken. We have not told the truth about it.
Our nation's immigration policy has been of top concern in recent years, and for good reason. With between eight and twelve million illegal aliens in the United States, it is obviously a problem out of control.
I am glad that our country is starting to have a serious conversation about how to repair our broken immigration system - it is long overdue.
A broken immigration system means broken families and broken lives.
Our immigration system is not broken. We don't need, and Congress shouldn't enact, amnesty.
This type of mass influx is simply too much to handle. What we've had since the disaster of the 1965 Immigration Act will take 100 years or more to absorb.
Illegal immigration is crisis for our country. It is an open door for drugs, criminals, and potential terrorists to enter our country. It is straining our economy, adding costs to our judicial, healthcare, and education systems.
We have an immigration system in this country that not only doesn't work, in many cases it doesn't even make any sense.
Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers. We are going to have an immigration system that works, but one that works for the American people.
