foreign affairs

On this issue I’m still torn. Something must be done about illegal immigration, if only due to the large number of illegal immigrants in the country. The process of getting a green card should be made easier so that less people feel inclined to get here in a illegal fashion. However, this doesn’t solve the whole problem of how our country deals with foreign affairs, which is part of the problem itself. Although we are focusing on illegal immigration from Mexico, there are illegal immigrants from other areas too. In order to change the consistency of illegal immigration, we must try to communicate better with other countries and possibly help countries that have a problem with all their citizens fleeing to increase their standard of living. However, I don’t suggest doing through a war, which tends to pit countries against each other. This won’t stop illegal immigration from happening, but it may decrease the number of illegal immigrants per year. As for what to do about the illegal immigrants already here, I’m still unsure about what would be best. We can’t just break up families and tell them to get out, but letting everyone stay may make give the wrong idea to more people that want to immigrate to the United States. For now, I think that the known plan that will work the best is trying to find and document all of the illegal immigrants correctly including the amount of time they have been here, the illegal immigrants that just came to the United States within the last few months would be sent back and the others would be allowed to stay. Using this method, people that have been living here for long periods of time won’t be thrown out. I think that we need to get rid of the born on American soil and you’re an American idea, because many illegal immigrants risk their lives because they want tier children to have a better life.
