Most politicians believe that there should be a tighter rein in the country as far as its possibility of having a border is concerned. Much of this issue stems from there being more Hispanic and other foreign groups coming to the U.S. without a proper entry process. The most significant way that each party decides on how to go about Immigration is very controversial and it leaves American citizens divided on whether to as now President Elect Donald Trump stated, "Build a wall around Mexico, and they're going to pay for it -the whole thing!". This is the opposite view of the GOP, while those on the Democratic side believe that there should remain open door policy; while yet going through a process to gain citizenship into this country. This is a clear-cut division on the issue, and many of Americans made their decisions on the issue very clear by electing Donald Trump as the next President of the United States. The biggest components of the immigration debate are how many legal immigrants to allow, and how to prevent illegal immigration. Many of these people believe the United States is the best place to go. There is more freedom, protection, and benefits, which are important issues with to immigrants. However, the large number of immigrants is affecting the native-born citizens of the United States. Taxpayers are forced to pay for the welfare and schooling for many of these immigrants, some of who are illegal aliens. Some citizens believe that immigration can be hazardous to the environment, by putting a strain on already diminishing natural resources. Others blame crime, poverty, and overpopulation on immigration. About sixty-eight million immigrants have been added to the United States since 1970, and it is estimated that 130 million people will be added over the next fifty years. The government has tried to somewhat restrict immigration but, many believe, the laws are still too lenient. Nearly every other advanced country in the world is moving quickly towards a stabilized population or has already achieved it. The United States is moving towards this very slowly. This country would have to reduce immigration to 255,000 a year to accomplish this task (Beck 1). If nothing is done to stabilize the immigration to in the U.S., many believe the population will continue to grow even faster - not due to births, but to massive the immigration to the country. Immigration could become an even more serious problem in the U.S. if the government does not produce stricter laws. The government must restrict immigration laws to prevent the overpopulation of the United States. Immigration has been affecting America's population for over two hundred years, this poses as a cultural issue because U.S. citizens have found that each culture is just too different and affecting one or the other. The best solution to this is to look at the underlining issue, which is that there will always be open borders until someone can properly negotiate and make it fair for others who want to become a U.S. I want you all to keep in mind that, everyone is equal, based on creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, etc. That's the only thing that makes the world a better place and that is to be better at what they want the vision of America to be. Not only will there be a more serious issue in the U.S. it will eventually be hard for those to get a long who don't agree with the system. Let us think about how and why we were bought here, and how we gained citizenship and rights, and think about how it can be an issue for
