Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants

Everything is against undocumented immigrants, they can be easily taken advantage of, don’t get any benefits, and more often than not they don't have a lot of money. In spite of all this they are not a big crime problem. According to Ron Unz, not including deportations, illegal immigrant’s,“ incarceration rates are now between 13 and 31 percent above the white average, depending upon which age range we choose for normalization purposes.” Illegal immigrants are arrested only a fraction more than white americans. This is very good, especially considering that they have a bigger reason to do a crime because of their poverty and that they sometimes are discriminated against. As Hispanics in general, and illegal immigrants, have been getting more money, their crime rates are going down (Unz). This means if amnesty is given the crime rates of illegal immigrants would further plummet because they will have more money and less reason to do

It has been said that Immigration damage the economy. This is not true because foreigners help American economy to prosper. Immigration increases purchasing, and increases demand for labor. Immigration not only takes jobs, but also creates them. For instance, a man comes to America from Italy; this man opens a small Italian restaurant, this restaurant becomes prosper during the years. Five years later, this Italian man owns two more restaurants and employs twenty Americans. Similar stories, which help our economy, have happened from the beginning of the immigration times.

From an economic aspect, immigration is somewhat beneficial since it increases the US work force and it’s economy. According to Camarota Steven on his testimony’’ Immigration and the US economy’’, immigration overall increases the economy of the US due to the fact that more workers and more people mean bigger GDP. He also pointed out that the impact of immigration of the seize of the economy is not a measure of the benefits of natives. That means that regardless of the benefits of natives, Immigration is a tool to increase the economy of the US. On the other hand, it can be detrimental to the US economy. In fact most of the immigrants work “under the table” which make the fiscal

Immigration opens the doors to many possibilities, from religious freedom to doing to the best colleges in the world. According to the article “Push and Pull Factors”, a reason for illegal immigration is people are getting persecuted from their beliefs and they want to go somewhere where they can practice their beliefs without any interruptions from the government. Many people flee from countries in the Middle East to have rights so they can practice their beliefs. In the Bill of Rights, the first amendment backs up the freedom of religion. If a person is born

Is immigration good for the economy? According to John Engler, "Why immigration is good for U.S. growth," Passing immigration reform would provide the opportunity for Washington to show Americans that policymakers can work together to solve big problems and boost the economy at the same time." If we were to let immigrants to come to America it would help out a lot of businesses. According to John Engler, " Immigration reform would improve economic growth. Reform would also increase U.S. employment and wages." According to John Engler," Today, there is a global competition for talent, and we cannot afford to lose out to other nations."America needs immigrants to make their businesses to flourish.

Many United States citizens say that illegal immigration is a crime. According to (Border Control) an entry into the United States illegally should be a misdemeanor and is like sneaking into the country as a violation. Many things about illegal immigration laws is that why is it illegal to come to a better country to try to better their lives as people. It is understandable that the country that they were born in has a low-income environment and it is not their fault if they are willing to do anything necessary to make it in this world.

In the past immigration laws and immigration itself has had some flaws but really is a good thing for the U.S. First off the agriculture rise that has happened over the years. Immigrants help the agricultural rise because most immigrants when they migrate look only towards the agriculture work which includes field work and stock animal work. These immigrants are needed for our everyday agricultural needs. According to (Ed Studdord) if all Illegal immigrants were to go back tomorrow to wherever they came from everything we know that is agriculture will collapse instantly. The biggest pro of immigration in history is the low wage workers. These low wage workers in the past till now have helped balance the economy a lil more. Now 52 of every 100 migrant workers have illegal status and yet they are hardworking.

Imagine being an illegal immigrant in your home with your children, working hard to give your children a better life, then suddenly ICE agents barge in and raid your home,rips you from your children who are now crying and scared, and physical force are used to force you out of your home. Unfortunately this is a reality for many. Being an undocumented immigrant is challenging because their fate is in the hands of the country’s government which is ruled by the people’s decisions. Illegal immigration has been a controversial topic which has been an issue for decades, however, the options that have been offered as a solution are amnesty or deportation. Deportation is usually the more unpleasant way which is dealing with the illegal immigrants by sending them back to their home country. Amnesty is being officially pardoned from an offense, usually political or federal. Amnesty is the best solution to the illegal immigration issue, a highly debated topic amongst politicians, for the reasons of the flourishing economy and the diversity of cultures with the social integration.

There is no doubt that immigration has been extremely beneficial for American society; almost all people here are immigrants; however, some who oppose comprehensive immigration reform would argue that at this point in American society it is more beneficial for our economy to limit immigration and allow our economy to flourish by using the people who are already here; however, many economists would say that this is simply not true. Doug Bandow, a writer for Forbes, a leading

Although the term “illegal aliens” has quite a stigma around it, there are many Americans that believe the immigrants coming to our country are doing more good than harm. These immigrants often do not pay an income tax, but everything that they spend their money on is still taxed, so they do add to the United States tax revenue. Also, they increase the amount of cheap labor available in the states and cause more money to be circulated around in the economy. With companies using this cheap labor, they can use the money they save to sell to a wider market and possible for a cheaper price. This, in theory, could be a very positive outcome of illegal immigration. Along with the possible boosts to the economy that they are believed to provide, they also seem to directly coincide with the idea of the

There has been a debate that illegal immigrants harm the U.S. economy. Indeed, the United States makes it very hard for legal immigrants to obtain U.S. citizenship, so some people that are seeking a better life have no other options rather than come into the country illegally. In order to get your citizenship, you have to go through a lot of paper work that costs a lot of money and time. I believe that legal migrants are boosting the U.S. economy by paying all the taxes and money for the paper work that they are required to go through. At the same time, illegal immigrants make a negative impact on the U.S. economy. The cost of securing the border is very high, so Americans end up spending more money in order to prevent illegal immigration break down. The efforts to stop the large amounts of migrants make the security problem worse by forcing migrant workers to work illegally. By creating the Immigration Reform Bill, the U.S. can improve their economy in many ways. First, increased immigration expands the American workforce and encourages more business start-ups. Second, the policy increases financial productivity by raising the supply of low and high skilled immigrants. While many people will argue that granting citizenship to illegal immigrants is considered breaking the law, sometimes it is cheaper and more

The Immigration debate in America has become a household topic in 2016 given the controversies surrounding it. Immigration laws in the United States are set in place to help control how many can immigrate into the country every year. As expected with any controversial topic, there are proponents for the implementation of Immigration reform and those that strongly oppose it. Those in support of the reform cite more security for American citizens while those who oppose it focused on the decline of the American economy. In this essay, I will be discussing the reasoning of those who support immigration reform as well as the reasoning of others who oppose the proposed reform. Secondly, I will discuss the responses to this issue by President Donald

According to Malia Zimmerman of Fox News, after an extensive study on crime rates and illegal immigrants, it was found that the 11.7 million illegal immigrants living in the US account for a total of 13.6% of all crime committed (Zimmerman). 13.6% may seem to be a small amount of crime, but it is not small when only 11.6 million of America’s 318.9 million person population are committing it. Additionally, approximately 12% of murder cases and 20% of kidnapping cases are committed by Illegal immigrants (Zimmerman). Another example of crime with illegal immigrants is in 2014 when the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) released 30,558 criminals back onto US streets. That group of 30,558 people had a total combined 79,059 criminal convictions, including 186 kidnappings and 86 homicides

Every person is a human being, not an “alien”, and deserves every right, privilege, and freedom everyone has. I believe granting amnesty to immigrants can bring happiness in both the country and immigrants. For those who do not know what amnesty is, it is an official pardon for people who have been convicted of political offenses. My topic is about granting amnesty to immigrants in any country and to let them have every right a legal citizen has. I will be covering mostly on the immigrants who are currently living in the United States. Having illegal immigrants “Can help with the country 's economy”, “Bring a better life for immigrants”, and let them have more benefits. It also gives their “Children a better education and gives them better opportunities to succeed in school and have a better job”. Granting amnesty will help for both the country and people since these “Immigrants also pay for their taxes and work really hard for whatever job they have”. Also, It is nearly impossible to get rid of all the immigrants that live in the United States. “There are currently over 11 million immigrants in America”, just imagine the cost to get rid of them. Immigration is not such a bad thing. They are normal people who want to live in the American dream. They want the best for them and their family. They do not want to bring in trouble in America since America helps them live in a better life, that is all they want. America gives

10). On the other hand, in the document “Overview- Illegal Immigration,” states that “immigrants take on hard and dangerous jobs that citizens will not do... [so] immigrants’ labor and entrepreneurship help to revitalize American industries and create more jobs than they take”( par. 10). Immigrants don’t actually take jobs from American citizens, because many come to create their own businesses which create more job opportunities. Jacob G. Hornberger also said that “traditionally immigrants are among the hardest working and most energetic people in a society, which brings positive vitality and energy”(par20). People should be paid by their efforts, not by where their from. People also “believe that all illegal immigrants are, by definition, lawbreakers, and thus are more likely to commit other crimes as well. Others link immigration with the illegal drug trade”(par. 9), as stated in the document, “Overview Illegal Immigrants,”. Although immigrants are thought to be the bad guys, immigrant rights activist Anne Carr argues that “immigrants commit crimes as often as American citizens, a fact true of both legal and illegal immigrants” (par.8). In the document, Immigration is not increasing crime rates they inform us that, there have been dozens of national
