How about we end it by legalizing them and letting them continue to do their jobs if they want to do them?
There is a process for legalising them which they can go through.
I doubt you have looked into what that process entails or you wouldn’t be saying that. So how about we just legalize their presence and let them continue to do their jobs if they want to do them? They’re paying taxes and contributing to the economy.
I do think that the immigration processes need an overhaul, but this is one of the things i would describe as a necessary evil. I don’t think America (or any developed country for that matter) would fare well if they were to make immigration and citizenship attainment a very easy process.
Would developed countries be able to control the potential security risks, increased labour markets, lower wages and housing scarcity that would occur as a result of massive migration from the third world? I personally don’t think so.
No one said anything about citizenship. Don’t muddy the waters. This is about legal immigration status so that they can work.
These are people who are already here. Again, this is not what we are talking about.
Fair enough. I might’ve misunderstood your argument a little there.
Is the process reasonable? No, of course it’s not, because that’s the point. You can’t abuse citizens as much as you can abuse foreigners. If you don’t believe me, move to a different country and find out.
