Illegal Immigration

A big problem I see that needs to be fixed is the U.S. national security and working on ways to make the U.S. safer. I believe that there should be more things done to keep the U.S. safer and more secure. I believe that the U.S. needs to be doing more things to keep illegal immigrants out of the country. I believe that all immigrants should get in the country the right way, and do all the correct paper work to be allowed to come here. I know older people that had to wait years to get into the U.S. that get so mad when they talk about the illegal immigration problem. They feel they had to wait and do all the paper work the right way, why should others come in illegally. I believe that this is a big problem that the government needs to fix to save lives and money. I believe that businesses should be fined if they are caught having illegal immigrants working for them. In 2005 Wal-Mart paid $11 million dollars to settle a federal investigation that had hundreds of illegal immigrants were working as the cleaning staff. Another problem is the penalty for illegal immigrants if they do get caught the first time they will only go to prison for two months, and the second time a two year offense. There should be a bigger consequence to scare the illegal immigrants from trying to come over illegally.  Another problem that occurs is drug trafficking and how illegal immigrants are used to bring drugs into the U.S. This is a problem for U.S. cities because they are the ones being affected by it and I believe that the government needs to do something to solve this problem.
