Moreover, in this country they are able to get good jobs and to take advantages of America’s social services. There are thousands of immigrants from Mexico and Central America who live here legally or not. They leave their families and relatives and move to the foreign country in order to help them. Illegal immigrants are facing hardships and have a hard life in the USA, but they have no other choice. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Bracero Program, which was an agreement between the US and Mexican governments, was executed by Mexico and the United States of America. This agreement allowed Mexican agricultural workers legally move to the US to work in the fields. In the 1960s it was stopped. Some people say that this program was not that successful because of afflictive conditions for farm workers and low wages.

Many Americans believe that they should stay in their homeland and have their own government deal with the situation that Mexico’s citizens are in need of jobs and money. The sad truth is that their government does not care. America is known for the land of opportunities. Those who cross over to the United States come here for a reason. Not to only find a better job, but to also lead their children to the college path. To have their children obtain an education, in which many cases most Latinos cannot get an education when working is their only option, it is something that in Mexico is hard to achieve. The government of the United States should stop promoting harmful media to make Americans believe Latinos are bad people. When in reality they are in this country to work hard, just as any American.

The United States of America, being a country founded by immigrants, is known all over the world as the land of great opportunities. People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family. Over the years, the population of immigrants has grown immensely, resulting in the currently controversial issue of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are the people who have overstayed the time granted on their US, visa or those who have broken the federal law by crossing the border illegally. Matt O’Brien stated in his article “The government thinks that 10.8 million illegal immigrants lived in the country in January 2009, down from a peak of nearly 12 million in 2007.”(Para, 2) While some argue that illegal immigrants burden the United States of America and its economy, others believe that they have become essential and are an important part of the US, economy.

Increased immigration also means there are more skills and experts available to the hosting countries, as well as extra workers to take up jobs that need filling. Immigration also leads to improvements in the economy as taxes are paid and employment and wages increase.
