Freedom riders

            
             Article 1: "Cheers don't need translator" and "21st century freedom Ridge".
             In the past decade America has developed problems with illegal immigration. Many people from Central America illegally come into this country everyday. They do this because of limited job opportunity in their native countries. The illegal immigrants feel discriminated against, because of their low wages and unfair treatment by their employers. They feel they should be treated just like any other legal worker. The problem is that theses workers aren't legal and are taking away job from hard working U.S. citizens.
             The illegal immigrants have tried to voice their opinions be going on "freedom rides" where they express their frustration with their situation. Many people see the illegal immigrants point. Some law makers even have posed the idea of making all illegal immigrants legal. Many people do agree with this. The people that do not agree with this, are the people who are most affected by the illegal immigrants taking up jobs. Theses people are the U.S. citizens. The U.S. citizens are upset because employers decide to employ the illegal immigrants because of cheap wages they will take. The employers also do not have to provide benefits for illegal employees. The employers also do not have to worry about the illegal employee running to his labor union to complain. The American government also doesn't benefit from the employment of illegal immigrants. The reason they do not benefit is because the American government can't charge income tax on non U.S. citizens. Many legal workers have tried to persuade the government to work harder to root out all the illegal workers, while the employers try to lobby with politicians to try to keep theses workers in the country.
             This has happen once before in our nations history. In the mid 1800's Chinese immigrants were brought here by railroad companies to work. The Chinese immigrants were not received well in the states.
