New Paths to citizenship? - Paolo



http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/immigration-advocates-push-republicans-to-support-path-to-citizenship/2013/02/07/04459f88-714d-11e2-8b8d-e0b59a1b8e2a_story.html

This article is about the ongoing debate on immigration in the United States. Specifically, it is addressing the issue about what is to be done with the millions of illegal immigrants already in the United States.

There are multiple opinions mentioned in this article. There are those who believe that these immigrants should be given amnesty, and there are people who think that these immigrants should be deported and stricter immigration laws should be written. The middle ground of the debate which is being increasingly embraced by Republicans would require the immigrants to pay back taxes and learn English before being eligible to attain citizenship.
The illegal immigration problem is a complicated one. I think that it is really important that this issue is solved because it hurts the economy and compromises national security. It is also much harder on the illegal immigrants, who are often exploited by employers for very little money.
