Argumentative Essay On Undocumented Immigrants

The hardships and struggles that Mexican immigrants go through while living in the United States are far worse than they need to be. It is harder for Mexican immigrants to obtain legal citizenship and find jobs in this country than it is for all other immigrants. George J. Borjas, a writer, from Politico Magazine exclaimed, “Donald Trump used one of my economic papers to back up his plan to crackdown on immigrants and build a physical wall: “Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens””. This demonstrates how U.S. citizens think that Mexican immigrants take jobs from citizens and don’t positively contribute to this country, but in reality they are just uneducated on the topic. For example, a study done by Pew Research Center shows that 74 percent of Republicans voted in favor of Trump’s wall being built to divide Mexico and the United States. But when a poll was taken only of people living within 350 miles of the border that number dropped to 63 percent. These numbers show that citizens who aren’t affected by Mexican immigration think it has a negative impact on our country, when in reality people who live and work with Mexican immigrants do not want the separation of the two countries as much. From this, you could infer that Mexican immigrants are not taking the jobs of U.S. citizens and they do not have the negative impact that we think they do, yet they are given less opportunity and freedom.

More than 11 million undocumented illegal immigrants fill the US. Over the past hundreds years immigrants have been coming into the United States,this process has continued. And some may disagree and believe in that immigrants should not have a path to citizenship. It is immigrants should have a path to citizenship. Undocumented immigrants should get a path to citizenship

Immigration has been a burning issue lately, particularly after Donald Trump’s immigration ban in the United States of America. It has been a topic that families discuss every morning with breakfast. Despite many concerns related to immigration, it has several positive benefits that mostly outweighs the negativity. People bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration. Many immigrants in the United States are good workers who don't depend upon any public welfare and mostly help in the overall development of the economy. As a country made by immigrants, we must not forget the fact that immigrants have helped to build cities and create a path of development form Google to iPhones (Gray & Furman, 2012). These facts are secluded, and some related arguments with different content have been repeated for years and continue. Immigrants have a lot to give the United States rather than to take, especially when it comes to economic terms.

Since the last Presidential election, many arguments have been sparked on current immigration policy in the United States. Whether it be mayoral intervention on Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) raids, or deploying the National Guard to the US Mexico Border, immigration has been at the forefront of the latest greatest political kerfuffles. Politicians and lawmakers have argued for decades on the viability of laws and regulations protecting, as well as directing, immigration in the United States. According to the American Immigration Council, federal law only allows for 675,000 immigrants a year. Realistically, however, this is nowhere close to the number of aliens that entire the United States each year. Unfortunately, current immigration

The issue of Immigration is a controversial debate that is currently being argued between many Americans regarding undocumented immigrant rights. This issue is significant because Americans and undocumented immigrants living in the United States face a problem everyday which is violence. Undocumented immigrants have and deserve rights including the rights to work. They are not being treated with the equality and freedom that America promises therefore undocumented workers should be allowed to work unmolested.

Immigration is what has made the United States what is today. The inflow of immigrants, both legal and illegal has changed the demographics of the United States and it has an enormous impact on the social, cultural and economic of the country. However, the immigration system of United States has always been an issue, especially when it comes to the education system for the undocumented immigrant students.

Immigration continues to be a major problem in the United States on whether to include or banish “these illegal aliens” from America. With the current notion on Obama’s executive order many continue to claim that it is “administrative amnesty” in disguise or an “executive fiat”. However, while everyone is free to speak and criticize the new order, President Obama has the constitutional right to prevent deportation of the unauthorized immigrants. He is able to execute this immigration policy not only because he is the Chief Executive.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, an American president, has Dutch ancestry in his life. Anybody who comes to America are from different cultural backgrounds; every family arrives in the United States to make something of themselves. Families are getting ripped apart as they are being deported back to their homeland, and leaving the life they built behind. A great deal of diverse families who travel to the United States; are deprived of their American dream because of fear of deportation. Illegal immigrants should be granted amnesty because Immigrants are taking jobs many Americans do not want, they are taken advantage of for not having legal documents, and they are not secured by fundamental living rights.

I believe that immigrants should be let into the USA and there should be no restriction on allowing who comes in and out. However, I do believe in the safety of any citizen or person living in the United States. Because of this, I think that each immigrant should be scanned. Previously said during the discussion, immigrants really boost our economy and keep our culture young and new. “Successive waves of immigrants have kept our country demographically young, enriched our culture and added to our productive capacity as a nation, enhancing our influence in the world.” (Griswold, CATO institute) Immigrants bring new ideas and fresh minds to a hard topic. A current misconception is that immigrants take away jobs from Americans. However, the CATO

The United States of America is known as a nation of immigrants and was built upon people of a variety of nationalities. For centuries, we have welcomed generations of immigrants into America such as British-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Mexican-Americans, etc. Currently, in our modern times, immigration has been a very divisive issue. In 2012, the Obama Administration created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, to give young undocumented immigrants, or Dreamers, a temporary endowment of protection from deportation and a permit to work legally in the US. This has given over 800,000 people relief and has provided hope. While some might argue that the implementation of DACA went against the constitutional principles of separation of powers and the president's duty to execute the laws faithfully, Trump’s decision to repeal DACA violates the 14th amendment of the Constitution as well as the concepts of citizenship where the Constitution defines that everyone is protected whoever lives in the United States.

Undocumented people have the right to be free and be able to pursue happiness just as any American citizen can. America was founded by pilgrims seeking liberties and new beginnings; why then, America should not welcome these oppressed individuals that are willing to endure hazardous journeys in order to have one more opportunity in life? Illegal immigrants are an essential part of this country, a part that shapes and contributes in every aspect of social life. In congruency, Philip Martin and Elizabeth Midgley express in their article Immigration: Shaping and Reshaping America, “U.S. Presidents frequently remind Americans that, except for Native Americans, they or their forebears left another country to begin anew in the ‘land of opportunity,’ suggesting that immigration allows individuals to better their lives and at the same time strengthens the United States.” In other words, the positive impact of illegal immigration in America is greater than what is been depicted in the media throughout the years. Politics are evolving to benefit the minorities, tax revenues a higher for the economy, and in the education field illegal immigrants bring different ideas and communication skill to enrich the American

Immigrants come to this great country to have a better life in the United States not to take away other people’s jobs. They come because they want to achieve things that they are not able to in their land because they do not have the resources to do so. Sometimes they come because in their home land the government does not help them instead they take away from them what little they have.

Today there is close to 11.7 million immigrants that are currently living in the United States illegally. These immigrants consist of a population that has changed little over the last three years, but shows signs that it may start possibly increasing again in the near future (Preston). Texas being right on the border has seen a constant flow of immigrants coming in across the border. I personally have witnessed illegal immigrants travel across open land near Laredo Texas, which had frightened because I didn’t know if they are apart of a drug cartel or not. This brings up the issue that there are not just migrant farmers traveling across from Mexico, but also immigrants coming from terrorist based nations that are a threat to the United States.

According to UNHCR a refugee agency, 65.3 million people are living in war zones. Another 5.5 billion people of all faiths face some form of religion persecution, including physical violence. People are unsafe in their own countries and homes, so they escape to other countries in search of a better chance at life. However, some of them break the rules to gain access to other countries. This results in illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is a major issue for countries around the world. According to Pew Resource, 11 million unauthorized immigrants are living in the United States. An illegal immigrant can be defined as a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or without a visa. This phenomenon is making countries blame
