Sorry Itohan, you're the first one I clicked on...

On Wednesday, December 3, 2014 Itohan Osifo wrote a blog called Illegal Immigrants. In this blog, Itohan writes about her opinion on the topic of illegal immigrants and whether or not they should have the right to vote. Itohan does not believe that illegal immigrants should be able to vote because of their inclinations to vote towards whichever political affiliation offers them. She says that they’ll “[lead people to] people in office who [are] not qualified or there to help the [taxpayers] they will represent.” She acknowledges the benefits of illegal immigrants’ involvement in the American economy, but notes that their voting for benefits might lose money for hardworking citizens.

            I think that this article was pretty good. Itohan effectively expressed her opinion, though I believe some official facts or statistics would help strengthen her argument. I think that her opinion is valid and that illegal immigrant, from whatever country they’re from, should not be given the right to vote. Though their participation in our daily lives and economy are great, I believe that the people who are legally committed to support them and their families’ opinions matter more. Our government is digging us into a deeper debt trying to accommodate for children brought over the border or people who live off of other’s people’s livelihoods. Our own Congress might have been stalled in making a crucial decision about how much further we could get into debt, by Republican’s actions against immigration.

            I think America is in enough trouble as it is with our debt and future. We shouldn't be putting more onto Congress’ table. When the government looks past citizens, to needlessly throw money around for any country and its illegal immigrants; it feels as though they’re working towards potential new voters rather than the People they’re obligated to protect and serve.
