The U.S. experiences both legal and illegal immigration. Legal immigration is when people from one country move to another country legally; they fill out paper work and do everything the way its supposed to be done. Illegal immigration is when people from one country cross the border of another country and live in that country illegaly, breaking the country's laws on immigration.
There are many reasons why I like legal immigration. It's what makes our country culturally, racially, ethnically, and religiously diverse. It helps people who are living in poor, jobless countries come to the U.S. for a better lives for themselves and for their fammily. It also helps people who are living in countries with dictators and tyrants get out and live a more normal life. It allows them to experience new things and new people. They are given many opportunities when they move here to become successful. The U.S. gives them chances to get good jobs, to open their own businesses, and help them get houses.
There are many reasons why I don't like illegal immigration. Illegal immigration gives people who illegally came here some opportunities that people who were born here and people who are legally here need. Illegal immigrants are often hired because they work cheap and they'll do anything to live here. Illegal immigrants get over the border many ways. When they are found they can be deported, sometimes they are kept to prevent them from constantly returning.
I think that the U.S. should do a better job of keeping illegal immigrants from getting in. The U.S has increased border surveillance to try to stop the immigration but it has not worked. Illegal immigration coninues to happen. They can get across the border in many ways. One way that has not been affected by the increase in border surveillance, is when people pose as tourists or temporary visitors.
There are some advantages of immigration. One is that there is a greater supply of unskilled workers; they have made the overall economy stronger and undocumented illegal immigrant workers have kept food prices low. Another is that there is a younger workforce; more people are about to retire, creating the ratio of the retired and the working in favor of the retired. Immigrants and their kids are usually younger, slowing the increase of the ratio. Finally it brings skilled workers to our country; under the "employment preference" category, immigrants are often hired in important jobs.
There are some disadvantages of immigration. Immigrants cause greater poverty; since they have a low income they can't afford health care and have to resort to public assistance. They cause more educational costs; they cause a disproportionate amount of public education costs than natives do, this is because of the greater birthrate of hispanics and because of their need for more intensive instruction. They cause lower unskilled wage levels; they negatively impact wages in the low skill occupation sectors that they occupy. They cause increased danger of terrorism; many say that illegal immigrants increase the threat of domestic terrorism.
I agree with legal immigrants, but I feel that illegal immigration needs to stop.

wow this is great but i dont agree on most of the things you are saying. First mexicans were not the ones who attacked the U.S so why you calling mexicans Terroriste. The Border surveillance are killing immigrants to stop them from coming is that what the U.S is all about killing people because of a diff race. The Bored will always make up a story to protect them selfs. you are saying that immigrants are taking the jobs of americans well they are not because Immigrants like mexicans work on picking fields under the sun for hours just to make some money. Americans dont want to do these jobs so Immigrants do them. thats not taking jobs from americans. most immigrants that come to the U.S become some like Jose M. Hernandez a person who came from Immigrant family. he bcame a astronaut and works for NASAlook him up and read his stroy. Some of the best doctors in the U.S were Immigrants and now the save many lifes. Also immigrant families have members of their family serving our country. and you want to stop this think about
