"Bankruptcy in the Making"
A large issue has been made relevant in this California interview on the Fox News Network that is costing states billions of dollars... The problem of illegal immigrants filing for welfare through our financial aid system. According to this report, these families and individual are contributing immensely to state and federal debt and is an issue that should be dealt with as soon as possible. Complimented with the fact that these illegal immigrants also contribute to the rate of the imprisoned population which is another huge expense states incur illegally. However, any agency to prevent this from happening will be expensive in itself to prevent such a problem. Can one argue that these illegal immigrants bring any good to society on the state or federal level? Or are they taking from our nations job supply and negatively contributing to our nations debt?

Altough illegal immigrants are clearly contributing to both state and federal debt, targeting these individuals is extremely difficult and very costly. With that being said, I honestly do not know of a realistic solution to this problem. I think no matter how we try to stop illegal immigrants from entering into our country, there will always be new ways around it. As mean as this may sound, I believe that due to the high number of illegal immigrants, these people are bringing more negative impacts into our country than positive.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a tough situation. These illegal immigrants are contributing to our nation's debt, but it might be too costly for the state and federal government to even take care of some of these problems associated with illegal immigrants. What I don't understand is why/how these illegal immigrants are even being granted welfare and financial aid from the government.
