Immigration has been rapidly growing in the United States throughout the last decade. I think in some ways that is a testament to our country because people obviously want the same freedoms and security we all have being citizens of this country. But at the same time, could this be revealing some issues in America? More than 10 million aliens are currently living here without legal documentation. And that number grows an astonishing 700,000 more per year. Although their presence makes America diverse, it suggests that our border patrol might not be as strong as it needs to be. Usually, these people come to America to find better jobs, which benefits our economy. However, they take away its value by exposing the weakenesses in our national security. Roughly three out of 100 people in the United States are undocumented which suggests flaws in our national security. But the increased immigration has "brought in 18 million new citizens, diversified U.S. society and gave us the enduring analogy of the 'melting pot'" which is what this country is really all about-- equal opportunity and freedom for all.
