Journal Entry #4: In this entry we were supposed to right about our opinion on illegal immigration. Also what our perspective on the definition of what illegal immigrants should be called. I like this entry because I think it help validates what I am which is between neutral and right. I still stand on what I wrote and believe that illegal immigrant should not be referred to as “refugees.”
I believe the term “illegal immigrants” is the appropriate label to call “economic refugees.” I am aware that there are illegal immigrants not just from Mexico, and there are illegal immigrants from other nations. I believe that all illegal immigrants, regardless their nationality, should be deported. I also feel free to state that should it really matter what term is used to describe illegals? We are the ones paying for illegals to stay. I believe our taxes should be used to kick them out of the country, and if they want to become part of our country-do it the right way. I’m not only to blame the lack of security of our southern border, but also the employers who support the conduct of cheap wage. If this continues our economic growth and stability will fall to the ground from trying to keep them out.
