Sending Away Tomorrows Future

The United States needs to do something about the immigration debate. Immigration affects everybody not just one, and need to work together to get to an agreement. Many foreign born come for a better future and education, It is not fair that they are being sent back for wanting to better themselves. Like it or not the immigrants contribute to the United States.
Many foreign born students, especially hispanics continue their education but don’t get to high school. The ones that do get to high school are usually the ones who also attend college.
There are many foreign born graduates of an American university. Most of those graduates choose to stay in this country and want to apply what they have learned contribute to our economy. In order to work in the field of which they have studied for they must obtain a temporary visa. It is not possible though to give visas to every graduate, there is a certain amount they give out each year. Once they have obtained their visa they apply for a green card to become a permanent U.S. resident. Unfortunately, massive backlogs in the green card system leave some professionals waiting up to six years or more. This drives the talented and educated to other countries and giving the United States a loss for the people that were educated here but go and work for the United States competitors.
We are educating tomorrow’s future for the United States and sending them out of the country. It is time to do something, and fix the immigration system.
