Discussion Subject: Which criminological theory do you think best explains why people commit crimes? I am going to choose the illegal aliens in this country, since we all do know it is a crime. Because of economical empowerment in this country, it is easy to see why you have so many illegal aliens in this country. Like any other human being, you are looking for a better future for yourself and your family. To be born into poverty and depression in a 3rd world or economical depressed country because of politics, war, or considered 2nd class this will entice you very easily to want to be in the United States of America. The mind begins to dream of what kind of better life you could have if you could only escape the poverty you are in now. You will begin to scheme, plan, pay anyone, run across a boarder, anything to escape for a life of riches. However, what that person fails to realize that there are great consequences for the choices he or she makes for this quest. Or they know and simply don’t care because of the life they are living now and America somewhat rewards illegal aliens by certain processes of business marriages, immigration and naturalization laws that will eventually allow them to become legal. The United States do have laws on the books for these actions, but they aren’t acted on because of the immensity of the illegal alien problem in this country. The government of this country uses this problem as politics to gain the power and elections that they want in their state or Washington D.C. I was born in The United States and my parents are Jamaican and worked hard to be here and legally. However, as a descendant I do understand why illegal aliens do come here and want better. I really don’t have a problem with it because let’s face it there is dirty work that we who are born here are not doing it even with this recession that we are living
