Why do illegal immigrants unlawfully enter America? Because of the promise of money to be made, right? That's typically the main motive. Even if money isn't the prime factor, it's needed for survival.
What's wrong with illegal immigrants, though, you might wonder. Aren't they just people looking to start a new life? Well, here's a couple BIG reasons:
1. They can smuggle illegal drugs in with them.
2. Since they're not registered, they don't pay taxes. This puts strain on actually legal and hard-working Americans.
3. They take American jobs away.
4. A lot of them join gangs and commit a lot of crimes.
That's just a couple major reasons why we don't need them in our country. It's not fair at all to the people who are waiting patiently to get a legal citizenship. Think about a time you were waiting in a long line, and then someone just swaggers up and cuts in front of you. That's what it's like to already-waiting immigrants.
But what if we took away the motive to illicitly sneak into our country? Yes, there is a way, a way that would be even more efficient than a wall: making it a law that employers who hire illegal immigrants will be fined. Once employers realize that they need to be verifying that their workers are authorized citizens of America, the illegal immigrants will start to slowly stop being hired. When they get the message, "Hey, we're not making any cash here," they'll actually leave on their own, now that they have no means of supporting themselves illegally.
This isn't something impossible to do. We CAN do it, and we will, in hopes of bettering life for all law-abiding Americans.
