What are we really against?

I think the discussion so far about illegal immigrants is very interesting because as Rebecca and Angela have said, many immigrants are here working, but are also living in fear of deportation and losing their families. Rebecca talked about how she thinks these immigrants deserve human rights, but many taxpayers don’t want to pay for these rights, especially since they’re here illegally. America is made up of immigrants who were given a chance to make a better life; some who have been here for hundreds of years, while others are just coming over. I wonder if the countries these immigrants are coming from have something to do with why people are against them so much? If it were millions of European immigrants, would people be more likely to give them a chance? I understand many people don’t like it that these immigrants are illegal, but I think that everybody should be given a chance to become a U.S. citizen. I also agree that there should be an easier way for these workers to become a citizen, especially for people who are here working, and only trying to make a better life for their family.
