Alien Commuters
I read this article on alien commuters and honestly I do feel bad for the situation these people are in. They get almost no sleep, they spend hours waiting to cross the border, and even more time just waiting in line. After they spend these many hours of waiting they work full eight hour days in the fields. This form of life would be tough and unimaginable. However I do not feel bad for the people themselves. They complain that they cannot actually immigrate to this country because it would tear apart their family. So what my ancestors left their family in a famine to come to this country. If you want the American dream you have to make sacrifices that's just the way it is. The other thing that bothers me is the fact that these American agriculture places are hiring these people just because they are cheap labor. What they don't realize is that if you hire American citizens and pay American citizens, those American citizens will put that money back into America's economy. Instead we are paying Mexicans to waste money on the Mexican economy. So to reiterate, I do not like the situation that these people are put in. However I do know that there is something that they can do about it themselves but they are not. This situation shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody it has been happening for centuries if not in Mexico in other countries and, I do not believe they should get some special treatment just because they border the U.S.A..
