This I Believe–Bret

Posted by jefferson8 on March 3rd, 2008

I believe Illegal immigrants should not be granted legal citizen status in the United States. This is because of many important reasons. One being the issue of insurance. Another being the reason of fair and equal treatment to every body. Insurance is one of the major reasons that cause the opposition of people’s opinions. Although not granted the right of licenses, illegal immigrants still somehow seem to be driving around. And when they crash into us while driving they don’t have insurance so we are left to pay to fix the damages they caused. And if the victim ends up in the hospital they still have to pay the hospital bills, which are outrageous these days. Also, granting them legal status would increase and over populate the country. By allowing the current illegal immigrants citizen status we would be required to grant everyone else who wanted to enter the country access and citizenship. So knowing this everybody would try to get in knowing they can. Once the population has increased, there will be fewer jobs for Americans because the first thing they will do when they enter the country will be to find a job. Then the people who don’t have jobs will go on public aid. And the government will not have enough funds to cover everybody, and they will raise our taxes. Since this is a controversial subject I do not expect you to agree with me, but I do urge you to. But, This I Believe.
