Illegal Immigration

       This article is about illegal immigration, and how the U.S. sees a major rise in children born to illegal immigrants. About 8% of the 4.3 million babies born in the U.S. in 2008 were born from illegal immigrant parents. The number of babies born from illegal immigrant parents jumped from 2.7 million, in 2003, to 4 million, in 2009. These illegal immigrants are also searching for jobs. The data from the childbirth study was analyzed to demographic characteristics of the illegal immigrant population. This is becoming a very important issue, that needs to be fixed! And, that is my summary on this article.
       I agree with this article for several reasons. I don't think it is right how illegal immigrants are having children in the United States so they don't have to apply for citizenship, and they are automatically a U.S. Citizen. On the other hand, I think that most of us in the U.S. would do the same thing if we were in the same situation, even though it isn't right. Plus, it is against the law, and you have to obey the laws to be a citizen! These illegal immigrants are making a mistake, and this issue needs to be settled soon in my opinion. This is my reflection on this article.
       Lastly, I think that this article is about citizenship, because it was about illegal immigrants, which relates to citizenship because these people aren't U.S. citizens. And that is what this article was about, what I thought about it, and why I think that this article is about citizenship.

    This issue does need to be settled soon. What do you think is a good solution?
