Immigrants in American Society

Today, in American society the social norm of immigrants is a negative one. Many Americans believe that immigrants bring crime to America, while others believe that they gain from having immigrants work for them. Thereofore this issue is a two sided issue. People beleive that immigrants bring crime, yet those same people will hire an immigrant for there work place because they are willing to work for extremely low wages. So What is right here? Many say that immigrants cause crime, yet those same people are looking for immigrants to work for them. It is kind of an ironic situtaion that America has come to. Throghout all of the immigration talk I have personally not heard any positive information on the issue. Almost everything I heard was negative, stating that immigrants are only hurting American Soceity. Personally, I have no comment on the issue. I don't feel like I know enough about the issue to make a formal opinion about it. All i know is that the overall opinion of America is that immigrants are not welcome here now, and probably for forever.
