The article titled Delaying Immigration Reform Gets Expensive discusses America's lack of immigration reform with President Obama. Obama promised a certain number of illegal immigrants to be deported and we are not reaching those numbers. While the number of illegal aliens with criminal charges has risen, we are still not deporting enough.
One solution to this problem is find and deport more illegal immigrants without criminal charges. To do this, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is offering more incentives to agents who find a certain number of illegal immigrants per month.
While more illegal immigrants need to be deported, studies found that American citizens believe that we should try to grant more citizenships to illegal aliens and try to keep their families together.

The issue of immigration reform has been pressing for many years in the United States, and the problem is only growing. While providing incentives for border control agents to deport more illegal immigrants each month works to curb the problem it is only patching up a large wound. Trying to grant more citizen ships however seems to be a very effective way of curbing this problem, because it is more a free rider problem than anything, so granting citizenship helps to negate the problem. The immigrants that come to this country are striving to live a life of freedom and opportunity and they should be granted the chance to. But those that come to this country illegally and engage in criminal activity should be deported, as Elizabeth stated.
