In this article, I learned...
-the border between Mexico and the US is 1950 miles long.
-In 2000, the census said over 4.8 million immigrants are living in the US thought to be moved illegally.
-Many farmers and factory owners approve of these immigrants because they could pay them so little.
-Immigration has created a "Third Country"
-Immigrants put financial strain on public services.
-Most of the illegal drugs sent in from Mexico come in from Florida.
-In 1986, the Congress passed a law saying that employers who know they are hiring illegal immigrants could be fined and penalized.
-Some immigrants are allowed to stay here sometimes if they pay there fines to stay.
Some questions that this articles rises for me are...
-How much money must the immigrants pay to stay here?
-How many of these illegals have taken Americans' jobs and thus cause us to suffer?
-If they know that lots of drugs come in to Florida from Mexico, why don't they keep a tighter security to keep them form coming in?
