It is after all illegal

It is after all illegal for an undocumented immigrant to enter the country, isn't it? Isn't the government doing everything necessary since September 11th to make sure there aren't people in this country that they don't know about? That is a comforting thought, but apparently it is untrue. It is estimated that 12 million people live here illegally. That means they work here illegally, that means they drive here illegally, that means they aquired living space illegally. Fact is, if you are here illegally, you are technically illegally breathing our air. I know it is unfair to say just because they weren't fortunate enough to be born here they can't live here, but for now the law is the law, and that must be upheld. According to "Two kinds of immigration," immigration isn't hurting the economy, illegal immigration is hurting the economy. Legal immigrants have actually positively affected it. As said by Ray Martin of the Oklahoma Daily, "contrary to popular belief, the law matters." I agree, however, there is nothing wrong with ammending it. Let's see Democracy work, let's see America be the land of the free once again. No matter what someone is in this country for, the government should know about them.
