History shows that Euro Americans and people who stem from them are the real immigrants. Not only that Native Americans should not have to pay taxes since they are such a poor and scarce people in their own homeland. This country was built on the backs of slaves and immigrants labor, if one were to take away so called "illegal immigrants" then Americas economy would greatly suffer

People who come nto the US legal or not are looking for a second chance or escaping a bad situation. The US need to change the process to become naturalized,  because 
allowing those to become naturalized will offer protection from companies who abuse immigrants. It will also allow access to needed health care and access to education. Also those who came when they were young only know the United States and they deserve a chance to become productive citizens and create a better life for them and their families. ]]> 2017-04-24 20:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/woodbum/mehbpxl4mjj2/wish/167963845 https://padlet.com/woodbum/mehbpxl4mjj2/wish/167969864 We as a group have determined that the United States should set aside portions of land indigenous to Mexican origins in the United States. Historically, this was done for the Native Americans. We also know that America benefits and has benefitted, economically, from the Hispanic labor force. It is unfair to treat our neighbors as our enemies while robbing their labor force. We know that even today, the United States' economy is stimulated from illegal Mexican immigrants who are subjected to hard labor (the tough manual labor and U.S. jobs that NOBODY else wants to do) as a means of survival in the United States, for "table scraps" as a form of payment. The United States should be more actively engaged in "righting" the wrongs to those who have suffered at the hands of a severely capitalistic society for centuries. Is America truly a "melting pot" or is she a cheap serving buffet table, refusing to put down the spoon of hypocrisy. ]]> 2017-04-24 20:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/woodbum/mehbpxl4mjj2/wish/167969864 https://padlet.com/woodbum/mehbpxl4mjj2/wish/167974712 We as a group think that the Mexican people have a natural right to be in Texas, California and New Mexico. We cannot deny somebody access to land that was naturally theirs to begin with. even though the land was taken over by the US as a result of the war, it is not morally correct to deny them from entering the lands that belonged to them.

They deserve to have access to land that was originally theirs. America also prides itself on being the land of equal opportunity. Everyone deserves a chance. It is not like we are running out of space. ]]> 2017-04-24 22:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/woodbum/mehbpxl4mjj2/wish/167981058 https://padlet.com/woodbum/mehbpxl4mjj2/wish/167981977 Group 8 thinks that the US should update their policies to be more accommodating to migrants. Our nation, like most, has made a long list of mistakes and we should not be proud of that. Returning land that was questionably taken may only lead to more problems, what about the un-involved parties that live there now? What if more land becomes questionable? And what if we soften the borders for the cartel? It would be more beneficial long term for both nations to work on this within policies.

When becoming a legal citizen, the immigrants will have the same opportunity as those who are born in the US. Everyone should be granted the same opportunity to citizenship. America claims to be a melting pot society, and to be a melting pot people of different background and cultural origins need to be present.]]> 2017-04-24 23:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/woodbum/mehbpxl4mjj2/wish/167984235 https://padlet.com/woodbum/mehbpxl4mjj2/wish/167984845 We think that it should be a modified policy that give immigrant more leeway while trying to become a naturilzed citizens being that it is very difficult and many Americans wouldn't be able to pass the test themselves. We think it should be a background check as well as information as to why USA  is the country for them. ]]> 2017-04-24 23:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/woodbum/mehbpxl4mjj2/wish/167984845
