Generations ago my ancestors came to America. They risked their lives with hopes and dreams of the fresh soil America had to offer. To them it was the dream of freedom and prosperity as it still is today. If someone wants to immigrate to America they should be allowed to as our ancestors were because they are not threatening our country; however, there needs to be specific rules on who can immigrate and when, and illegal immigration must be decreased through easier legal immigration. Allowing immigrants to flee their homeland for a chance in America is a controversial subject. Many Americans believe they steal our jobs, and live off our hard-earned money through welfare and other government related programs. America is being overcrowded, and we have enough poverty and crime.
