Lets get serious. This is nonsense. absolutely nonsense. And does anyone want to talk about those who come to the U.S. and overstay their visas? There are an estimated 4 million people in the United States who have overstayed their visas. They get visas. they are here. they are working. They overstay their visa and do not go back to their home countries. they decide to stay here illegally. It is time to acknowledge why immigrants continue to come across our border. making enormous sacrifices. risking their lives. They are coming for economic opportunity to better themselves and to reunite. a lot of times. with their families. In other words. they are coming for exactly the same reasons that my mother came to Americato get reunited with family members who were here. to work. to raise a family. to better her life and to better the lives of her children. The difference is they are coming now as undocumented because we failed to create a documented. legal avenue for our economy to get the workers we need. It is not their fault. it is our faultbecause we have not designed a good immigration system. We have heard it said that undocumented immigrants drive down wages for American citizens at the low end of the economic scale. According to this argument. undocumented immigrants are so desperate to work for the minimum wage or less. they will tolerate harsh. unsafe working conditions. Unfortunately. there is a lot of truth to that argument. So what is the answer. kick them out?
