Ever since the economic downturn started, there have been increased grumblings about the immigration laws. Some people wonder why the U.S. is still allowing 1.5 million new immigrants into the country when there is not enough work for the people who are already here. These new additions to our nation are now competing with Americans for the few jobs that are left.
While I would never agree that we should end immigration to our country, I would suggest that we could further limit the number of new people. That only makes sense when our unemployment rate is so high. I hope the powers that be would take a second look at this policy to see if it still makes sense.
