Immigration and Closing Borders

             Beware! America is being invaded by aliens! Not the little, green, martian type you see in science fiction movies, but the real thing. I am talking about the illegal type who come in every day and every night, by land and by sea. Estimates have shown that as many as 500,000 illegal aliens make it across the border every year.

Another problem that would occur due to the borders remaining open is that the illegal immigrants will take away jobs from the American citizens. As of right now 7.6 percent of the United States population is unemployed. A large mass of them are unemployed because of those immigrants who take away their jobs. They take away most of the jobs because they increase the supply of labor and settle for low wages. This works because greedy business people will do anything to save a dollar these days. Another thing that immigration causes is the amount of money that is spent on immigration and unemployment for most of the immigrants is $42.5 billion more than they paid in taxes.
