Immigration Debate

When it comes to immigration, this country seems to be greatly divided. Everyone has different opinions on the issue and everyone thinks their solution is the best one. If there is one uniting factor in this debate, it's that mostly everyone agrees that something needs to be done. Immigration can't be ignored.

This debate is a main focus for upcoming elections with candidates trying to perfect their resolutions in order to win votes. The main aspect of the debate that people seem to be focusing on is what immigration does to the American people living here legally. Does it take away their jobs? Does it make the country less secure? Do immigrants take away services that should go to taxpaying Americans?

The immigration issue seems more like a competition between politicians. Instead of thinking about how immigrants are really affected, it's like they want their plan to be the one chosen in order to win.
