The United States Immigration Laws should be revised in order to make citizenship become more difficult and decrease the number of immigrants migrating to the United States. The above resolution that seems to be constantly floating around in congress has become extremely sensitive since President Clinton has been in office. President Clinton has been openly supportive of revisions to the Immigration Laws held by this country. He also strongly backs the tightening of United States borders. Immigrants are extremely vital to the American way of life because immigrants are an enormous part of the background of the United States.
This country was founded by settlers who were indeed immigrants, and then the move westward was again aided by the millions of immigrants constantly joining the new country. Native Americans alone could say that they oppose immigration, or could they? Did not their ancestors also migrate to the continent of North America? How then can men or women calling themselves United States citizens be opposed to immigration?
The most profound and obvious way that immigrants affect our country is through their culture. Has there ever been an American culture? If a culture does or did exist it is then a mixture of the many subcultures brought to the United States by immigrants. However, each subculture added has substantially made the American culture richer. An incredible example is the broad range of cultural foods found in the United States. In how many other countries throughout the world can you go to almost any given city and find Italian, Chinese, Japanese, French, Tex-Mex, Cajun, and Mexican food.
Economically we can not afford to decrease the annual rate of immigration that we have. False statements that are passed between many Americans about immigrants are complaints that we are paying for them to stay at home, which refers to welfare. (Myths n. p.) Another complaint consists of Americans having to pay for immigrants' education. These complaints are however totally false. First, it must be known that illegal immigrants can not even receive welfare, an education, or jobs legally. The only way that they could ...

I, for one, believe that Marijuana should be legalized. I have several reasons for this, the main one is that it would almost completely eliminate the crime and other problems associated with the drug.
