Immigration: Should The United States Close The Borders?

Open or closed borders? This seems to be a topic that many people want to listen to. We all have reasons why we should close the border as well as open it, but has anyone really thought about those arguments and noticed that they don’t make sense? In addition, there are much better reasons to keep them open:

In order to ensure our country 's safety, I believe that the borders of America should be closed and secured. If America 's leaders vote to keep our borders open and free to all, the Immigration Crisis will evolve into an even bigger problem. It is my understanding that America is already trillions of dollars in debt, not including all the funds it would take to care for thousands of immigrants. While the numbers are clearly not as bad as most other countries, we too have our own citizens living in poverty everyday. I firmly believe that until we are capable of providing restoration and a better quality of life to our own people, we have no business or resources to do so for other countries.

In addition, several immigrants are demoralized and countless others die in their struggles to cross the border. Various border patrolmen have not only had the need to kill, but have been killed. The borders are clearly unsafe, and with approximately 1,400 immigrants crossing it everyday the U.S is very vulnerable to being in great danger and when the borders are vulnerable, the entire nation is vulnerable. If the borders were more secure, then the number of illegal immigrants sneaking into the country would reduce which would reduce many of the other issues that illegal immigrants cause. To stop the immigration issues, the nation must stop those issues at its core, being the borders. When the borders are taken care of, the issues that come along with them will also be taken care of.

Agreement: One thing that will never change throughout the history of the human species is that we will continue to move. Whether it’s to the next state, the next country or to the next planet, travelling is in our destiny. There are many reasons as to why people decide to get up and suddenly leave the homelike environment that they have come to know. Sometimes it’s war, sometimes it’s poverty, and sometimes it’s just a need for change. Immigrants come in all shapes and sizes and as a whole, they bring about many well-needed additions to our country. A very debatable question that has been stirring up a lot of controversy lately is whether or not the U.S. should adopt an open-borders policy. Looking at how immigration has affected not only the U.S., but the rest of the world over the course of time, it is easy to see how having an open borders policy will be the best option for the U.S.

The “drug war” in northern Mexico is one gigantic bloodbath. The Mexican government says that as many as 28,000 people have been slaughtered by the drug cartels since 2007. A very significant percentage of those deaths have happened in areas right along the U.S. border, and yet our federal government still sees no reason to get serious about border security (The Economic Collapse). Even though Immigrants can help the economy with jobs that the united states citizens won't do or don't know how to do, Close the borders in the united states because ISIS members can get in and take over our government and we should help the people of the united states citizens the before immigrants,

To begin with, we need to stop immigrants from entering the country. We have been having this problem for so long and unless we act now we will not stop this increasing trend of illegal immigrants. According to CNN, there are currently 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S and they are continuing to increase every year. Why should we allow illegal immigrants to enter our country when they are basically committing a crime by entering illegally.  If

Should the United states change the border security? I believe that the United states should not increase border control because the immigrants are going to figure a way around it anyways. Also the immigrants that manage to come into the country will fill in more jobs. It is against the law to hire illegal immigrants, but many employers will do so anyways because illegal immigrants will often perform menial, low paying jobs that no one wants to do such as picking crops.

Immigration has been a part of the United States history since its birth. America is a country that was found and built by immigrants. In the beginning everybody was an immigrant. There were people from all over the globe coming to America with the hope for a better life—which still holds true today. There are countless reasons that people are wanting to come to America today. Some immigrants are fleeing radical governments, while others are escaping countries that are torn with civil war. On the down side, America is not a newly discovered land with wide open land for the taking anymore. She simply cannot accommodate every individual who wishes to live here. Regulating who, when, and the quantity of those who are coming to America is extremely important. Illegal immigration has been a problem in America for decades, and there have been numerous attempts in controlling it.

We are now in the 21st century and like the beginning of the 20th century the United States finds itself in the throes of a period of mass immigration. More then one million immigrants enter the Unites States, both legally and illegally every single year. Many argue that this new wave of mass immigration may help sustain the success that our nation is having in regard to the way of living that many American have come accustomed to and yet others believe that although our nation was created by immigrants it is time to "shut down" our borders. The truth of the matter is that there will always be issues in regard to immigration and the policies that the government sets forth in order control who comes into this country. Also now

Our border system has flaws that need to be fixed, especially in this day and age where our fear lies in terrorism and violence.

The concept of securing the border limiting immigration is reliant on the fact that by having a “fence” it captures more illegal immigrants, rather than not having one at all. To better secure the border the fence is a first step. I think that there are better ways to secure the border such as employing more unemployed Americans to help patrol this barrier. I feel that in today’s society many Americans would rather see their tax dollars going to use. I would also suggest we pull more troops out of Iraq and encourage their use on our home soil.

The U.S should further restrict immigration. First of all, the United States should further restrict immigration because population itself will rise to extreme problems. Research has been done and it has been showed that the population of the United States is around 318.9 million people (2014 census). Imagine additional people coming to the United States. Study also shows that United States is currently having a severe drought in the west coast, and it would not be solved if more people come to the United States. Combine those two researches and we have an immense problem(s). No one blames them for coming, because everyone is seeking for better opportunities or because they want escaped war in their home country, but at the same time

Rarely has the United States had to defend our Nation on its on soil, however our borders are wide open to a daily invasion that is costing our country billions in unsubsidized benefits to foreigners who enter illegally. Current political think tanks are under the impression that, “Americas best hope for national security is to worry about National Security and stop trying to be everywhere all the time. Concentrate at home, secure the borders and rebuild our financial influence on the international market”

Total inhalation of immigration would not be a healthy choice for the United States. However, setting out for stricter laws to become a citizen is in need. There are over 11.7 million illegal immigrants in the United States (poll 2011). Therefore, having restrictions on immigration overall can help the economy grow, security at airports, docs, borders, and on the streets would not only lessen the illegal immigrants around the country, but supply more jobs for Americans. Illegal immigrants not only live in the U.S, but are supplied jobs in which were made for American workers.

In the past few years, there has been a recent push for a border wall to protect the United States from the increase in immigration and drug trafficking. Although the border wall aids in reducing problems in our country, it is affecting the economy of the country and the health of our environment, therefore the border wall is not the best solution.
