US-Mexico Border

With illegal immigration on the rise and a weakened economy, the U.S. federal government has been forced to pass severe immigration laws. Though illegal immigration has always been a problem, the scarcity of jobs has elevated the issue to unprecedented levels. Our generation has grown up in a world where illegal immigrants "aliens" are taking jobs that American citizens could be doing just as well, but since minimum wage does not apply to aliens they are winning most of these jobs. This greater awareness has also caused our generation to become increasingly racist towards "Mexicans". Another issue is that many illegal drugs are being imported into the U.S. from Mexico, which has exposed our generation to the negative sides of drugs.
