America 'A Country of Immigrants'

    
             No rational person will ever try to deny the fact that a vast majority of present day American citizens ancestors were once immigrants from somewhere else. America is made up of people from other countries trying to seek safety within the open arms of our boarders.
            The only difference is from today's situation is that those people came here legally. Many traveled by boat and then passed through Ellis Island in order to come within our borders. Our ancestors didn't sneaked under or over a fence and hide here illegally. They came from places of persecution and legally traveled here to escape their past. If a person comes to this country and plans to stay for long periods of time, they are under the obligation to act like any other citizen would and pay the taxes set by the United States government. It is not fair to others that illegal immigrants are accepting the benefits of this country without contributing. If no one contributed to the well being of this country as a whole, then there would be no benefits to accept.

THEY COME TO AMERICA

The Cost of Illegal Immigration 2012


          This documentary is directed by Dennis Michael Lynch. His goal is not to support a certain side of the political spectrum but to only provide the truth about the reality of illegal immigration. Through his hard work and dedication to only reporting the truth, many negative aspects of illegal immigration have surfaced. Illegal immigrants drain the economy of resources and have no positive effect on this nation. Many are extremely dangerous and have nothing to loose by hurting others. The American Dream has been soiled by everyone believing that they are entitled to luxury instead of working hard to achieve it. The American Dream is a privilege. Everyone has the right to build themselves up and work towards success. That does not mean that this success should be handed out to people who don't do anything to help themselves. The director of this documentary risked his life to film this story and to report the truth.
