Imigration

 

            The United States was built by immigrants and the idea that it is a place of freedom for all people. The idea that our doors are open to all is highly emphasized in the idea of The United States. This sounds like a great idea, however, the U.S. needs to regulate people entering its borders in order to maintain stability. For this issue America has an immigration policy that controls who can enter. This policy is not perfect though. The current immigration policy contains many loopholes allowing thousands of extra immigrants to enter the country adding to the increasing problem of poverty in the U.S.
             Because immigrants typically earn far less than the average American, they are unable to pay for necessities, such as insurance and other health care related programs. This causes an unnecessary burden on the tax-paying citizens, who are forced to pay out billions of dollars to cover immigrant costs. According to the Immigration and Naturalization Service estimates, hospitals are writing off nearly two billion dollars per year in unpaid medical bills to treat illegal immigrants. Hospitals are required by federal law to care for anyone who walks through their doors. The costs of such care have forced several hospitals, especially those in border communities, to close their doors of scale back their service. This is to the great disadvantage of tax-paying citizens who live near these hospitals, who will be may be unable to receive adequate health care when they are in need of help. Hospitals though, are only a small piece of the economic puzzle.
