Three Ways to Resolve Illegal Immigration Problems, by David
Currently, the Senate is debating about what to do with respect to illegal immigration. Many Hispanics are protesting in the streets, demanding reforms in immigration law because they are the largest group of illegal workers (11 millions). The U.S. needs Hispanics for many jobs in many industries, and the industries need them. Three possible solutions for resolving illegal immigration are the temporary worker program, increasing the security at the borders, and giving residency to illegal workers.
The temporary worker program is one way to stop illegal immigration to the U.S. Many people come here just to work and then return to their countries. Many of them do not return to their countries because they would not be able to return later to work. If they can return after visiting their families, maybe there would be fewer illegal workers, and then they would return to their countries permanently. An example is the case of immigrants to Japan. Many Hispanics went to Japan to find jobs, and after five years or less, they returned to their countries. Then went back to Japan one or two years later to work again, then they returned to their countries with enough capital to start a business. Another benefit of this program is that it elevates the security of the country, because the government knows who is coming into the nation.
Increasing border security is one of the consequences of the temporary worker program, which I explained earlier. This program will work only if there are the necessary numbers of temporary workers. If there are more workers (because many of them are coming across the borders), the program might not work, because of an excess of workers. For this reason, the borders will be necessary in the future the reinforce it. To do this, the U.S. would have to provide more resources to the immigration office to protect the borders.
Finally, giving residency to illegal workers is important. Not only have many of them suffered injustice, but they also pay taxes to the U.S. government. There should be certain requirements for them to obtain residency. For example, some requirement could be that they have worked for five or more years in the U.S, have a current job, and are already paying taxes. When the government gives them residency to them, the will know who everyone is, and they will have more control over the immigrant population.
It is clear that, for real immigration reform, it is important to implement a temporary worker program so that many workers can come here and then return to their countries. When this occurs, it will also be necessary to increase the security of the borders because the workers will come to The U.S. legally, and only the drug traffickers will cross the border illegally. Finally, for most of the ten million illegal workers who are here, the government should give them residency as an act of justice and to benefit the government.
