WHAT ARE THE CURRENT DAY PERSPECTIVES?
Today in America, Americans attitudes towards illegal immigrants are clearly very ambivalent. Unfortunately in the 21st century, there are still many close minded Americans who are not willing to adapt to change and welcome the ever changing face of society and these new foreigners. Currently, there are 11 million undocumented immigrants residing in America, and that number keeps on rising. (cairco) An astonishing six million of the 11 million are Mexicans, and of that 60% are males. (PRI) Many of these immigrants work in industries that require hard manual labour, such as construction and agriculture. Many of these undocumented workers are big contributors to America's economy, even though many claim they steal jobs and are an additional burden on the struggling economy.
