Why The U.S. Should Help Illegal Mexican Immigrants  by: Babu G. Ranganathan I am Christian, Conservative, and Republican. Having said that, let me say that we are committing a great injustice in how we are dealing with Mexican immigration and the status of illegal Mexican workers in the United States. Congress ought to support President Bush’s guest-worker program for illegal Mexican workers in the United States. We do owe something to Mexico and its people. In the 19th century our nation, which was experiencing great industrial, technological and economic growth, sought to expand to the Pacific Ocean. But, there was one big problem. Mexico was in the way. Western land belonged to Mexico. So, we invented a doctrine called manifest destiny that said the nation that could better use the land had the right to it. We forcibly took what is now California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas from Mexico. This was raw aggression and it was morally wrong. When we seized these lands from Mexico they became first U.S. territories ruled directly from Washington D.C. Afterwards, when enough Anericans from other parts of the country settled into these territories, the federal government in Washington allowed the people in the territories to vote on statehood and to have their own individual state governments. We can partly correct the great injustice and wrong which we committed against Mexico by giving legal status to Mexican workers who are doing jobs that Americans refuse to do. No one is being hurt and everyone wins. Maybe we can tax some of the money earned by the Mexicans to help bolster our nation’s Social Security fund, which will help support America’s aging population. Sincerely, Babu G.
