The Texas immigration issue that is going on right now does not take in consideration to the children that are transported here against their will. These children often come here on a legal status and overstay their welcome in the United States without knowing so. Later on in life they will face extreme hardships if they remain in America, such as not being able to have a drivers license, have a job with a legal wage, or even find an apartment to live in.
Republicans make the assumption that the immigrants are the ones draining the government funds with welfare programs, without really looking at facts or numbers.
The way that the republicans look at the issue is on the side of the native born citizen, but what constitutes a “native born citizen”? In 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived to the United States on a ship on accident. Once he arrived, he claimed this land as Spain’s land. Most of the “native born citizens” in the United States are decedents of Spain, which could also be known as immigrants. The problem we face currently is the influx of Mexicans into the United States. There are many people who want to be in the United States but cannot be here legally unless they have specific representation of identification.
This is not what Mr. Columbus did when he came to the now known United States and killed every rebellious Indian in his path. If Spain could have taken this country with brute force and no consequences, why cant the rest of the world take this land as their own?
