Illegal Immigration Does Not Threaten America By Richard Raynor

In this essay Richard Raynor addresses the issues of immigration, and leads the reader through a higher understanding of the real definition of immigrant. He explains that America is founded by people from another country, and that the entire nation is one that doesnt have a specific culture but rather multiple cultures. After doing so he address the issues that immigrants from Latin America face when they try to live in America illegally. They face issues such as doing alot of blue-collar jobs and getting charged a much higher rent than those that are living in America legally. He expresses the benefits of having immigrants in California. He explains that the diversity brings about much progress, and that is a significant reason why California is a more developed state than other states that dont have too many immigrants. The diversity brings many different ideas and businesses that contribute to overall progress.

This essay was a well written one. The author used valid points and statistics for the information he provided. His statements were acceptable from my oppinion because I know that California is full of diversity and progress everyday. I am sure of this because I know how advanced California is when I compare it to Frederick Maryland, and even Tehran, Iran. I also feel a deep sympathy for the illegal immigrants and the hardships they face on a day to day average. The fact is that America is founded by immigrants and white people declare the country of America theirs, when in reality the Natives were actually here first, so if anything its their country and their culture. But since they arent so active in society the white people from European descent have taken it upon themselves to call the country theirs. The real difference about America from any other country is that, it isn't anyones country but everyones country. Its been shared with all the people that contribute to the country to make it a better place. America has been shared by the natives, its been shared with middle easterns, and its been shared by Europeans, so why not share it with Latin Americans too?
