Readers' Forum: Immigration is a rising problem in America

By Universe Contributor

Immigration is a rising problem in America. Many say the problem cripples the economy, steals tax dollars and takes away our children's opportunities. But since the birth of this country, we have blossomed because of what their descendants have and will continue to accomplish. Immigration is not a bad thing, it’s a beautiful thing.

Opinion: Immigrants are human beings, not a political agenda

By Jeff Salcedo
June 28, 2021 12:00 AM
Immigration, particularly illegal immigration, is a hot-button topic that splits the nation in half. The United States was founded by immigrants and built by immigrants, from pilgrims traveling from Europe in the 1600s to Chinese immigrants building railroads in the 19th century to Latin immigrants coming from the South today. Whatever your political preference or opinion on the topic may be, the human beings often get overlooked when discussing immigration.
