But the declaration that America must keep an open-door policy has screened the sore facts, which led to the development of current immigration problems (Stoil). An honest and thorough review of the history of the United States reveals that it was built primarily by immigrants who sought a better life for themselves and their family through productive industrial pursuits (Sanders et al

S. citizens are entitled to equal protection under the law of the state where they reside (Pinney 2004)
Proponents also noted that the legislature maintained programs that included free prenatal care for illegal aliens while at the same time increased the amount that senior citizens had to pay for prescription drugs (Dwyer 2004).
