Immigration Control At our age, some of us have jobs. We use these jobs to pay for gas, clothes and many other things that we want. When we get our paychecks from these jobs, the government takes taxes out of it, which allows us to support our economy and our country. But what happens when an undocumented person receives his/her paycheck? After all, the term undocumented does mean that the person has no records in this country and essentially does not exist. There is no way for taxes to be removed from the paycheck. People south of the US border come north for a multitude of reasons, many of which will cause the immigrant to risk his/her life for the chance to be on American soil. There is no way to keep immigrants from coming across the border, no matter how many restrictions and how much security is set along the US/Mexico border. As long as there is not a fence, which there never will be, along the border- there will be a way in. The problem cannot be stopped; it can be contained or prevented, but never completely annihilated. Senator John Cornyn of Arizona has proposed a guest-worker program that will allow undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows and work for their residency. This program should be enforced as soon as possible. The United Nations Population Division determined that Northern America gains 1,394 people a year with a net migration rate of 4.6. It also stated that Latin America and the Caribbean loose 1,311 people a year with a net migration rate of –1.0, in an essay written for the UN Chronicle. Russell Taylor, a writer for the UN Chronicle found that 41 million forgein-born people live in North America through the records in the UN. Mexican Forgein Minister Ernesto Derbez discovered that “migration is happening everyday, and it is happening by the thousands.” He was quoted in San Antonio Express-News.
