Should Mexicans be allowed to become citizens in the US?

Answer 1

Because they are human beings just like we are. plus if you look back at everyone's etnicity no one is originally from the US anymore! think about it When Christopher Columbus came over he ran the Indians south, where is Mexico? Down south, so the Indians met up with the Spainards and created the people we are trying to keep out of this country. Yea they do work for less and harder but in reality it is just to make a livig in this country and survive the white mnan's system. They moved the Indians off their land and claimed it. They forced the black people here to do their work for them and now when the people that are probably part of the forced removals are wanting to come back and make a living here in the United states they are made to leave and put into cages like they are some kind of animals. Remember the Lord and His son who Died on the cross for all of our sins. He created all people as his own and you still discriminate when you should be helping out our fellow man. Before if you look back in history the United States and Mexico was one, before the great divide and the Mexicans down south are part of the native Americans who are living here. THE LAND WAS DIVIDED NOT THE PEOPLE.

Answer 2

Because many of them need jobs. A lot of them come in the search of the so called "American Dream". Many Mexicans leave their families in search of a better life in the united states. But many of them find the opposite they find racist bosses who pay them minimum wages, besides Mexicans arn't here illegaly because they want to it is because they have to. If you want to see an example of an illegal immigrants life you should check out a movie called Under the Same Moon.

Answer 3

This is a question that is controversial and may have different opinions.

Opinion 1

Because America is the "land of the free" and we shouldn't be hypocrites and disallow anyone entry. Also another point of hypocrisy, if we didn't want anyone mixing in with our original American culture, then the Europeans shouldn't have come here. Unless you are 100% Native American, you are an immigrant.

Opinion 2

Immigrants really should not be let into the United States. The US already has a large and stable population and unemployment is a very real issue for many millions of Americans. Before allowing foreigners access to the vast wealth of the United States, we should make sure that those who are already here can benefit from it.

Opinion 3

Immigration to the United States has often greased the wheels of American progress. Lower-class immigrants and illegal immigrants often do jobs that American citizens would not deign do and higher-class immigrants start up innovative new industries, support engineering and technological sectors, and generate jobs and wealth for American citizens. Of course, not everyone should be allowed to immigrate to the United States, but a heavy stream of immigration will lead to US growth and development, as it has consistently done before.

Answer 4

The United States doesn't have very good immigration laws. In the past during World War 2, the United States opened their borders to anyone that would like to work. Most of the people that came in were Mexicans, but there were other races involved too. When the war was over, millions of these immigrants were forced to leave, their lives were ruined, some stayed here illegally because this is all they had.

In the present, Mexicans have to apply for a green card, or some sort of documentation that will allow them to come in. It could take somewhere from 3 months to 12 years to get accepted.

It's very important to know that the reason why a lot of Mexicans come in illegally. When someone is desperate, and their families are living in the street or without food, they have to do anything even if it means crossing illegally. Which brings us to Coyotes. People hire people named Coyotes, these people specialize in crossing people illegally to the United States usually through the Texas or Arizona border, sometimes through California or other bordering states.

Because the United States hasn't fixed immigration, we now have 12-20 million illegal immigrants.

But the legal way Mexicans are allowed in, is through some sort of documentation, which is extremely hard to obtain.

Answer 5

Any person can become a US Citizen by fulfilling all lawful requirements.
