After reading about my fellow classmate, Katy Huynh's standpoint on the topic birthright citizen, many contradicting thoughts came to my mind that might make more sense for current America. To begin, she quoted that "Immigration is a topic of concern, but should not be a top priority topic". Although we can all agree there are more serious cases, this topic of immigration plays an enormous role in the future of America. A common claim people who are for not focusing on keep illegal immigrants out of our country is that they do the "dirty jobs" that Americans "don't want to do". Although I am totally on board with that claim and do realize that illegal immigrants work many of the jobs that keep major establishments running, but in order for us to make America great again, we must be able to offer these jobs to legal American citizens. If we begin to enforce stricter laws against illegal immigration, it will open many jobs for legal unemployed citizens. Even if they're not making a killer salary, it is better than being homeless and it can keep the economy running. Lastly, if we enforce stricter laws on illegal immigration, it will encourage illegal citizens to apply for citizenship and become a citizen legally.
Although my beliefs and claims are for the very longterm future of America, the "revolution" must begin eventually...if ever.
