View on Immigration

On 25 Oct. 2006, I saw this headline on CNN.com, "Dobbs: Middle class victims of illegal immigration." Rather, I think it's the lower class that is the victim of illegal immigrants.

I saw illegal immigrants standing on the streets looking for jobs and working for less than minimum wage. Middle class are crunched for cash and always looking for deals at Walmart. Unless you want to pay a lot to build your house or to buy your vegetables, I think most American benefit from this pool of hard working labor.

I don't think they're taking jobs away from American. They're doing jobs nobody wants to do. Let's not forget, we're living in a competitive globalized world and capitalist society. We should change our policy and law to adjust to the reality and implement a working visa program for them. If we have a work program, foreign workers can apply for it; and if they don't have criminal background, they should be allow to travel through boarder safely. Young women are risky their safety and lives in order to find a job in America. If they work in America for more than a decade and became Americanized, they're hard working and law abiding citizen, they can apply for citizenship. If they don't have anyone to vouch for them, or if they're dangerous to our society, then we don't want them on our streets.
