When the debate over immigration is is started, one of the main arguments is that we all started off as immigrants and that why we have different nationalities. But what those people dont realize is that when the thousands of people came to America, it was legal and important to the economy to fill jobs and bring more money in. Now that jobs are scarce, the need for immigrants is gone. Obamas immigration plan is only harming the people that are already here and natural born citizens. My mom was telling me about her friends parents who came here from India got their citizenship and now collect social security without working a day in their life here. How is taking away our money that we work hard for just to give it away to people who do nothing, even close to being fair? Obama care for another is taking away from the working class and giving to the poor. My friend lost her benefits and had to get obama care...she said that it's better than what she had before. Relating this back to poverty, obama is all for helping the poor but what many dont realize is that he is hurting everyone in the middle class and only help a few of the poor. Yes poverty is a major issue in the united states especially long island but what we're doing right now is hurting more than helping so it needs to be greatly improved.
