Immigration Policy In The United States

Immigration Policy The immigration policy in the United States is widely debated topic especially with the upcoming Presidential elections. This issue of the immigration policy can be viewed from several different angles and perspectives.. Some believe that we Americans should accept all immigrants into our country with open arms, while there are others who believe that the United States must completely isolate themselves and close their doors from those looking to immigrate into our country.

However, there are certain aspects of this plan that are currently causing some people to disagree with the building of the wall. One of these reasons is money.

However, in order to stop the constant flow of illegal immigrants into this country, something needs to be done whether it’s expensive or not. There are multiple other things in this country that have cost a lot of money in order to complete and finish. This
