Immigration can help our society and our economy because it can further strengthen our image as the great melting pot and increase our tax base. The current argument by many conservatives against immigration is very shortsighted, believing first that it’s even possible to send back 12 million people. Trying to send back 12 million people would cause incredible chaos and tie up our law enforcement system in an incredible mess. The auxiliary arguments that are included in this conversation, such as increased crime and drugs, the concern about making English our national language and border security are valid points but not enough to cause America to move away from their inherent principles of being a melting pot where many people and cultures from around the world may find a better life. This issue goes to th capsiplex e heart of American principles and combined with the negative fallback from the war on terror, this critical issue can help raise American prestige around the world. Sam G (Immigration Hysteria 2007) gives an excellent example of the state of American values in the Immigration plight, “Firstly the majority of the Hispanics did not come here to stay and breed with the so called citizen’s. They wanted to make a descent living and working condition nothing more. In exchange we got a cheap hard working human slave in exchange. Nobody recognizes this hard working human for what he is. If given an easy and proper channel to exit the country he will rightfully do so and go back to his loved ones back south of the border. We did not do enough to stop them at the border and did not give him a chance to leave either.
