ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: Embrace Or Disgrace Them?

You are always hearing in the news about border control and illegal immigrants trying to make their way through - Many succeeding. I bet the government wishes there could be some kind of invisible fence to stop people taking advantage.

To be honest I'm kinda in the middle and is not really a political person. From what I've heard I know people come over to try and make a better life for themselves as in their country they don't have one. Others come over to try and make money to send back to their families.

I can see why it angers people though. If we wanted to emigrate to another country it wouldn't be that simple. There would be all kinds of paperwork to fill out and with some countries you have to have to be able to benefit the country somehow i.e work wise such as a being a doctor, architect etc.

In the United Kingdom it has been regularly known of that immigrants have been given homes, jobs over UK residents and even benefit monies that of course are taken from tax payers wage packets. So you can see why this has gotten out of hand.

In several other countries if illegal immigrants entered and got caught they would be jailed for a very long time and some with the extreme of their lives being ended by being shot for trespassing for instance.

I have heard dyer stories of people sneaking into lorries and then being trapped in there for days with hardly any air or being crushed to death by storage containers. Some people have even risked coming in by boat or swimming through the dangerous ocean waters.

But what is the right thing to do here? Simply send them back to where they came from with a punishment for breaking the law or do you think there should be another way?
