The problem of illegal immigrants has become a problem for the United States

May 1, illegal immigrants held a United States national demonstrations. My curiosity mixed with the Chicago procession. Along the way, has met the two journalists holding a microphone asked me where to, is not to support their action. I said that from China, only to see it busy. Marchers unified hands produced balloons, placards, leader of the home country of holding the national flag, some holding children, pushing a car shaking, the whole family out, mighty flow from all directions along the designated route to the Grant Park pool. From the national flag, the participants of illegal immigrants from Asian countries, from Eastern European countries, from Middle Eastern countries, but the vast majority from Latin American countries, especially Mexico. I also saw the side "of the People's Republic of" small flag, a total of not a few people, apparently to strong momentum of. Slogan on the reunification of the slogan is also prepared, with the expression of demands, such as "amnesty", "should be legalized, not criminals of (Legalize, Don't criminalize)"; have adopted a "sub-spear attack our very own" approach, shouted "human rights" and "equality", "love"; there with the Americans, the United States political parties near Rafah, such as "We are America", "Today we march, tomorrow we vote"; many processions also the collective singing the U.S. national anthem, but used is Spanish. The next day the media by the mouth of the masses to express dissatisfaction with the Americans, saying that "the U.S. national anthem sung in English only."

Chicago took part in a rally the day the number of people estimated to be 200,000, it is reported that Los Angeles up to 60 million, New York, San Francisco also have more than 300,000.

U.S. media said the problem of illegal immigrants is the United States "the most serious domestic problem." Carefully pondering about, think that this is not an exaggeration. First, the number of illegal immigrants too. How many, mixed media, saying, 11000000, 12000000, 14000000, ranging up to say there are 20 million, of which there are only from Mexico 11 million. In some cities have become a "state within a state", is a not inconsiderable force. Second, these people with the United States by a lower level of education were the formation of social work in the middle and lower competition, exacerbated by the employment pressure, this part of the Americans on illegal immigration the most intense emotions. Third, bring the white population has dropped drastically. According to statistics, the United States at the end of the sixties of the last century in other countries, only 10 million immigrants, and now has reached 36 million, accounting for 300 million one-eighth of the total population; recently added the population accounted for only 10 percent white, and Hispanic accounted for 50%. Two years ago, Harvard professor Samuel. Huntington's new book, "Who are we? "Reflected the U.S. white Protestant Anglo - Saxon culture of Latin American descent faced by peaceful means to conquer the danger concerns. Fourth, do not see the prospect of problem-solving. If the illegal immigrants agreed to the request, the U.S. government amnesty for them and give them legal status, then such a law, does not correct the practice of law may encourage more illegal immigrants enter the United States, it would have to go on forever amnesty . If the forced deportation and deprived more than 1000 million trailer home with the mouth of people's livelihoods, not to mention difficult to achieve, but also with the United States has always advocated the "human rights defender" and the image does not, for fear of criticism in the international arena. To maintain the status quo will only make the problem more cumulative. Moreover, the Americans themselves attitude on this issue is not consistent, those who rely on cheap labor of illegal immigrants and the small and medium-sized family farmers, they would like to see the existence of illegal immigrants, they call on the Government to be an amnesty, or even take part in the procession expressed their solidarity with. The Republican Party, the Democratic Party in order to win votes in an election year approaching when more and more illegal immigrants from time to time to ogle.

Latin America in order to control the influx of illegal immigrants to continue, the United States intends to take some "fundamental" measures. May 17 this year, the Senate passed a provision, agreed to repair the US-Mexican border, along 595 kilometers of fence and 805 kilometers of the fence, and after the House of Representatives in December 15, 2005 to vote on the US-Mexican border through the construction of the wall resolution. Media say this will be the Western world of the 21st century "Great Wall thousands of miles." In this regard, the President of Mexico, published a televised speech to express our strong protest, saying the move is a serious insult to Mexico.

May 15, President Bush also announced an additional 6,000 policemen to guard stationed at the US-Mexican border towns, strengthen guard. Not long ago, also visited the US-Mexican border inspections, border officials to boost the morale. The success of these initiatives, it is rather suspect. US-Mexican border more than 3200 km, walls and fences only 1,400 km. There are newspapers published in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, a poor lie on the crocodile's back disguised as driftwood adventure into South Africa is reported, suggesting that repair of the wall on land, illegal immigrants can also almost 2000 kilometers of border smuggling. Moreover, Mexicans will be in the walls and under the cut holes into the fence.

Caused a large number of illegal immigrants into the fundamental reason for this is that uneven development among countries, rich or poor gap. Some people say that this imbalance and the disparity resulted in two "power": "Rally" and "thrust." American society of the rich and high-income, strongly attract illegal immigrants to their home country from; illegal immigrants economically backward country of origin, political unrest againtheir citizens. A push-pull, of course, illegal immigration on the formation of a strong trend, blocking all

If Mexico and other Latin American countries in the near future with the rapid development, or the United States is willing to generously help them rapidly developed, and they and the United States has greatly narrowed the gap between rich and poor, the U.S. growth momentum of illegal immigrants or is likely to stop. However, this possibility does not exist, the United States this cupboard must have read it.
