Immigration can be a sore subject for people to talk about. There are two clear sides to immigration; on one, people are completely against it. They believe that Mexicans should not be allowed in America because we are forced to pay billions of dollars for them to be here. The other side, however, supports Mexican immigration. 10% of all Mexican families depend on remittances, which is the money they earn in America and send back to their family in Mexico. If they cannot come into this country and work, they will have no means to support their families. I think either way, immigration is a very serious topic. It costs America over 113 billion dollars per year to support the illegal immigrants, but at the same time, they are completely dependent on the little bit of money that they make in America. I can easily see both sides of this issue. I thought this article was interesting and provided a lot of facts that I did not know about immigration.
