The United States is known to be a cultural melting pot, a land where people of all different cultures can come for freedom. Even today, immigration is a major issue, as the country debates what to do about illegal immigrants coming into the U.S. from Mexico. As you can see below, there are many different ways that America perceives its growing multiculturalism:
· The Great Mexico Wall: Some believe that the solution to illegal immigration is the building of a physical wall between the United States and Mexico to stop people from entering the country that way. http://www.globalsecurity.org/security/systems/mexico-wall.htm
· “The biggest problem with “illegal immigration” is the process. When my grandparents came to this country, they were running away from oppression. They didn’t care to file the proper paperwork to enter the country. But we had Ellis Island to process their admission. What we need today is a way to process immigrants as they arrive so that they aren’t “illegal.” But for Ellis Island, I am sure that I would be the grandson of illegals.” – Hal Cohen
