Mexican Immigrants

In the past few years, the controversy regarding illegal Mexican immigrants in the United States has been increasing. Congress wants to build a wall to make it more difficult for the illegal Mexican immigrants to enter the United States. They have put up advanced security systems and are creating strict laws to keep us out.I, however, stand with the Mexicans. I see their involvement in the daily lives of Americans as nothing but a positive.

Firstly, man has wanted nothing more but to better the lives of their family. With the illegal Mexican immigrants, this is exactly the same. The life that they choose to leave behind in Mexico is nothing to write home about. One scrapes by building local ornaments to sell to visiting tourists, showing them the hot spots, technically becoming a slave for someone's day of enjoyment. For what? A measly few dollars here and there. One weeks worth of work in America could be family's entire month's worth of food in Mexico. As all immigrants seem to have a knack for, they will do the job most American's scoff at and they will do it better and often cheaper. This is something that all immigrants, legal or not, should be proud of.

Secondly illegal immigrants have a greater sense of family. We are a subculture that respects our parents, our brothers and sisters, our elders, our cousins. We respect our family. Could the same be said about those legal Americans? Every day there are commercials on TV regarding divorces and pedophiles being arrested for child abuse. Notice how when the news comes on, they don't mention that those pedophiles or those divorcees are illegal immigrants. This is because of our respect.

The last thing worth mentioning is the food. We love our food and work harder than the average American for it. For the substantial amount of food we eat, we are rarely diagnosed with heart attacks. We eat fresh food from the ground and
