One of the biggest issues with our immigration laws is that often the criminal records of the countries people are coming from are so inaccurate or incomplete, we really have no way of knowing if they are legitimate or not. Thus, we let people into the country we shouldn’t. Of course that is only half of the dilemma and perhaps a small part of the real problem. You see, if a person has a criminal record and realizes that they will be denied citizenship in the USA, then they might simply choose to change their name and sneak in; using the illegal immigration method.

This is unfortunate because we really do not know who they are or if they are a criminal until they commit their first crime against a US Citizen’s property or person. Once they do, and “if” we catch them, they are finger printed and deported, of course, the United States has so much abundance and sneaking over the border to partake in it so simple that they come right back again and will most likely commit another crime.

Even if we punish these people by putting them in jail, the crimes that are committed such as theft, battery, assault, or even murder have already caused great harm to our nation and cost us in more police, jails, courts, and economic hardships. So, something must be done, the problem is that nothing is being done. You see, illegal immigration law is much about crime, so since it is 2009, isn’t it about time; that we fixed this crisis?
