Why is it so necessary to fuss over this situation?
This is a big deal in the United States because these people are breaking the law. There are over 10 million illegal immigrants as of 2009. Those people are taking jobs that Americans could have. Also, these illegal immigrants do not pay income tax, so the federal and state governments are not receiving money that they would be otherwise.
Are illegal immigrants that great of a threat to our country?
This answer is close to the answer to the first question. These illegal immigrants hurt the United States economy, as well as just flat out breaking laws. These are law-breaking people who think they deserve rights in a country they are not supposed to be in. The economy is hurt because immigrants take jobs that Americans could have. Some say that Americas do not want those jobs, but give it time and the jobs will be filled.
If illegals are here for a certain amount of time without being caught, should they be allowed to stay?
Absolutely not, that is like saying if you murder someone and do not get caught for a certain amount of time, you cannot be punished. Illegal immigration is not as bad as murder, of course. This would be saying, come here and hide for a certain amount of time, and then you can stay for the rest of your life. They should be deported, and then able to apply for citizenship.
