Illegal immigrants no real threat to U.S.

,div class=”quotebox”>U.S. policies are part of the problem that cause so many illegal immigrants to come into the country. Citizens need to deal with these issues before any solutions can be considered.

“The U.S. government would have us believe that illegal immigration is a dire and threatening issue. Americans are continuously bombarded with warnings about the effects of illegal immigration, yet none of the proposed solutions, such as mass deportation or a wall, will effectively end illegal immigration because none consider the root of the problem. Illegal immigrants are no great threat to America and many would have stayed home if not for the negative effects of U.S. trade policy.

Eleven to twelve million illegal immigrants currently reside in the U.S. Most came because policies such as NAFTA and CAFTA, so-called “free trade” agreements with Mexico and Central America, benefit large corporations and subsidized American industries, while demolishing the smaller, independent businesses and farms of Latin America, which are unable to compete. As a result, NAFTA and CAFTA devastate struggling economies in Latin America and create conditions in which many workers and farmers are unable to earn enough to feed their families.”
