S. illegally. "In America, there is no difference between undocumented immigrants and illegal aliens," said Costanza, "For our state and federal governments to give illegals that have broken our laws benefits and amnesty is an outrage." She continues to say that some illegal immigrants choose to enter our country wrongfully is because they know our government doesn't enforce the immigration laws. She feels this is a problem that will only grow unless our government officials begin to really enforce the laws on illegal aliens. .
Some immigrants who are in the country illegally are immediate relatives of American citizens. Should these illegals, which can usually be considered hard working people, be granted citizenship? Yisroel Schulman believes they should, which he demonstrates in his article titles "Immigration Solutions" in The New York Times. "We can and should make the green card process easier for undocumented immigrants now residing in the United States who is immediate relatives of American citizens," said Schulman. Immigration lawyers at the New York Legal Assistance group, where Schulman is president, recommended an initiative called, "Parole in Place." This initiative would allow immediate relatives of active-duty servicemen and servicewomen who entered the country without a visa, but who are also progressive members of our society. Schulman continues to say that he disagrees with those who would say that this initiative would be granting amnesty for illegals. He feels that it would actually help President Barack Obama politically, limiting the initiative to a small amount of immigrants who already qualify for permanent resident status based off of family relations.
When potential immigrants believe that they have nothing to lose, that's when illegal immigration becomes an option. When making this decision, the immigrants have to take into account the expected improvements of their living, income and in their future opportunities.
