While discussing this issue in the classroom I seemed to hear many say that our economy is dependent upon illegal immigrants because they do the low class jobs. I think this directly shows why the amount of immigrants in The United States is increasing annually. More and more people believe that they are better for our economy and allowing them to come into our country, illegally, and without a fight.
