Illegal immigration is wrong for many reasons, due in part to the extra burden it puts on taxpayers, but the media likes to make it seem like just an American issue. Other countries have much stricter laws on illegal immigration, but when America tries to uphold its comparatively loose immigration laws, its own media cries for fundamental change. Countries like Bulgaria, Chile, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, and Japan all have significant detention periods and hefty fines for illegal immigration like the U.S., yet none of those countries face the same kind of attention for similar laws. Moreover, taxpayers must cover the cost of illegal immigrants living in our country and using our facilities, which is unfair for the legal citizens of this country.
