I don't even get why there's debate about it either. Any immigration coming from the third world whether its legal or illegal is turning the U.S. and all the other English speaking western countries into another 3rd world with the same type of problems. This is demographic replacement and displacement. Its part of the process of setting up the future one world government. There is no benefit to the majority white European population with an open border immigration policy besides those corrupted sell-outs who own the media/business/government, so it should be clear why most cant talk about it openly.
Immigration in the US is controversial because everything is chalked up to racism here
Never mind every other developed nation (Canada, Germany, France, Sweden) having immigration laws and enforcing them. Never mind certain immigrants understanding that assimilation does not mean forgetting your culture or native tongue
Foreign nations only like the US or want us involved if it means aid and possible refugee status
It's controversial because in the US we like to scream discrimination of some sort. And saying it's racist somehow eliminates the guilty from breaking the laws that we have set in place
What makes it worse is that certain politicians pander to them in order to keep votes within their party.
The debate stems from the fact that certain immigrant groups can't comprehend that there is a legal way to come and an illegal way to come. Coming illegally when you don't speak the language and have no education or skills is setting yourself up for poverty in the country you move to.
And who pays for it? Taxpayers of course
There is also the controversy of one group saying, 'Let 'em stay' and another saying 'Make these people follow the law of the land'.
One side speaks about the "poor children" while refusing to actually put their resources and communities where their mouth is and house these kids, but assumes the moral and political high ground of endearing these illegals as future voters.
The other political side is housing, feeding, medicating these kids while begging for the government to protect the border. And these folks are portrayed as the bad guys, ironically.

Legal immigration is not controversial, ILLEGAL immigration is against the law and they, are all criminals.

^Yes^, do it today, and deport the ones already here. Give our unemployed citizens jobs
those illegals stole, and use some of the saved money to help our vets!
King Obama has decreed these 17 year old children can stay. It is the law of the land. You will obey!
Actually, that law was signed by Bush in 2008.
I think the reason why its controversial is the history of the region. It wasn't too long ago that we established a new country and kicked the Mexicans out of the new American southwest. These people have been living here for literally thousands of years. They didn't cross the border, the border crossed them. We're fighting a losing culture war, really. If it were up to me, we would just give Texas, AZ, NM, and Oklahoma back to Mexico and call it even.
Even still, a law was established and must be followed. If they want to emigrate here, they need to do it legally like everyone else. The respective countries these people are fleeing from should pay for the cost of housing and feeding their refugees.
Immigration has always been controversial. There was a time when those who were pro-labor generally opposed liberal immigration policies while those who were pro-business generally favored liberal immigration policies. Now the debate centers more around the costs immigrants impose on the welfare state and racial/ cultural issues with the effect on the labor market practically ignored.
Solution is simple : All those in favor of unlimited immigration, pay the bills. All those opposed, do not.
