Immigrants are always portrayed very negatively in the media.Not all people who come on over are evil drug lords and so on. From personal experience most of my family and friends have come on over from generations, and not on of us has ever committed a crime. Immigrants are hardworking people with the dream of having a better life! What is wrong on with that? America was founded on a melting pot! Most of the people that cry about immigration have had ancestors come from other countries, the only true American are the natives. Furthermore all theses jobs that immigrants are quote on quote taking from American people are hard intense labor jobs. Do you want to be picking fruit or cleaning someone's house? I do not think so. The stigma with immigrants stems from a long history of racism in this country. We are slowly moving towards change but we need to remember what this country was founded on that being the American dream. We must give all people an equal chance.

I agree with your statement. Most of these families are hardworking people who want to make a bette living for their families. the media often portrays them as criminal and drug lords. and finally the jobs they are quote on quote taking from us are manual labor jobs that no privileged American would even consider doing.
