Immigration to the United States is not, in itself a controversial issue. The real issue is illegal immigration, people entering the country illegally without going through the proper channels and the government appearing to do nothing about it.

Many people feel like those who come into the country illegally have already broken the law, so they should be deported back to their own country. On the other hand, the government seems to believe that illegal immigrants should be allowed to become citizens. People do not take to that very well, not because they are against a given race, but because of the illegal nature of the immigration.

People are also concerned because there are millions of citizens already out of work, many living outside in make shift shelters. People feel like allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the country puts an already strained economy under more stress, and that the citizens should be the first consideration of the government, especially when they hear (whether it is true or not) that illegal immigrants are given subsidies that the citizens desperately need.

Again, the main issue of controversy is that the government is allowing immigrants to cross the borders illegally, and then to remain in the country, even to the point of considering giving them citizenship status, especially at a time when so many of the citizens of the country are having very hard times.
