Arguments Against Illegal Immigration

The Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals (DACA) protects eligible young immigrants who came to the United States as children from deportation. It grants young undocumented immigrants a work permit and protection from deportation. Although there has been controversy about keeping this policy, the people protected under DACA contribute to society and American economy, also keeping DACA is about keeping a promise, and it is constitutional. It exists for the good policy for the nation, its citizens, and those children that DACA supports.

There are 11 million people living in America today that are undocumented or illegal immigrants. As many people in the country are divided on which side to fight for in the fight over immigration both sides can have valid points. While undocumented immigrants could be more willing to take the lesser, underappreciated jobs that nobody wants, they’re taking jobs from American citizens who are legally here who deserve to take care of their families. Undocumented Immigrants hurt the economy as they take jobs from american citizens and pay lower taxes causing citizens to have to pay higher taxes.

If he does, he will have effectively been boxed in by immigration restrictionists could potentially against his own better political judgment. “But they’ve cornered him. This artificial deadline has created the moment the opposition needed to force a decision.”

A liberal mayor tipped off illegal immigrants 24 hours before federal immigration officers and Border Patrol agents carried out a large raid in California.

One of the biggest arguments of people who are against immigration reform is that they say immigrants just come here to benefit from Temporary Assistant for Needy Families (TANF) but in reality white people and African Americans are the ethnic groups that receive more benefits. Sean R. Hogan is Associate Professor at the University of Fullerton that teaches social welfare policy. He states that 52.9 percent of African Americans use (TANF). Subsequent to African Americans is the Caucasian with 19.5 percent of people using (TANF). In reality Hispanics only use 17.2 percent – lower than African Americans and Caucasian (Hogan). This demonstrates that immigrants are here to work, to make of this country a better place, not to ask for benefits. Another

Undocumented families and individuals are a key to America’s working economy. President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election was well known for his thoughts about illegal immigration where he believes those who are not in America legally, should go back to where they came from. Illegal immigration has been happening for over generations where undocumented immigrants want a better life than they had in their previous country. Without illegal immigrants, our nation wouldn't be where it is without them, therefore, it is essential that they should not be deported back to their country.

Immigration (Merriam-Webster), “The movement of non-native people into a country in order to settle there”. Or in other words, when a group of individuals make a permanent move from their home country to another is an issue facing society today. Throughout history, immigration has always been a prevailing concern for societies amongst most nations. Due to this, many have given their own input and interpretation in regards to this matter. Two individuals such as Dr. Richard Rodriguez and Professor of Earth and Environmental sciences, Dr. Mark Pires have both given similar compelling arguments about immigration. Given though specifically their texts address different

Immigration in America is a serious topic that is frequently discussed and argued among citizens and politicians for as long as migrants from other countries have crossed the borders into America searching for a better life. A number of arguments include, primarily from Mexican immigrants, that immigrants steal the jobs of natural-born Americans, immigrants steal the tax dollars of hard-working Americans by using food stamps, welfare and free health care to get what they want, as well as immigrants not becoming legal citizens and sneak across the borders. These are among the arguments that would make immigrants the spawn of the natural born citizen that feels that they don't get their fair share of what an immigrant can obtain by simply crossing the country borders. Thus, it

Often the subject of immigration is seen in a negative light in the Christian community. According to Matthew Soerens, Christians tend to view immigration as a threat to the economic and social stability of the United States. Soerens compares this attitude of hostility to that of the Pharaoh in the old-testament who saw the growth of the Hebrew nation as a threat and forced them into slavery. However, a Soerens point out that hostility is not the only option open for Christians. Soerens remarked that the Pharaoh under which Joseph served, many years earlier, actually saw the Hebrews and an economic opportunity. This event demonstrated second option which is to view the growth in immigration as an opportunity not only for economic growth but

The video, shown in class, was meant to investigate and understand both sides of the immigration argument. A legal, self-border patrolling US citizen was forced to live 30 days with a family of illegal immigrants. The man was strong in his beliefs that all illegal immigrants should be rounded up and sent back to their countries of origin. The family he was forced to live with supported the idea that illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay, and even gain some legal citizenship. This video helped spark the debate, which immigration stance is better for America?

Illegal immigration is a leading contentious issue in politics and news with recent crimes and Presidential nominees. All articles were in agreement that the largest portion of illegal immigrants are from Mexico. Many of the arguments against illegal immigration are that they raise costs due to education, health care, incarceration and crime expenses, as well welfare expenses. My original hypothesis is that illegal immigration results in a net economic loss due to those reasons.

According to studies, unauthorized immigrants pay around $11.7 billion in taxes each year, which accounts for sale and property taxes. As mentioned in the first paragraph, immigrants also help shave off the costs of Social Security and Medicaid. Immigrants pay around $13 billion into Social Security, while only getting $1 billion in services. That means that immigrants contribute over a dozen times more money to healthcare than the service that they get in return. This makes it harder to argue that they don’t help the economy out.

The United States of America is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants have been the groundwork and will be the future if this country, however, many fail to see the latter. Many argue that immigrants are only a burden and as a result, be deported, because they only leech off the US economy and resources. However, I stand for the principle that the worthy of the approximately 11 million unauthorized immigrants (Hoefer, Rytina, and Baker 1) should be granted full citizenship in the United States. Unauthorized immigrants should be allowed a path toward citizenship and not be deported, because it would result in the overall prosperity for the United States economy, their lack of rights hurt the workforce, and lastly, the simple fact that it is the

“Do you know what immigrants are and what they have to go through?” Somewhere in this world, some people who live out of the country of the U.S. are struggling to get a better everything because the job that they have don't pay them well enough that they don't have the right amount of money. Those people are called immigrants. These immigrants choose to cross the border and risk their lives to find a better lifestyle or opportunities, and people don't want them here because they think that they are just taking up space or they don't belong here because they don't have any right to, or even because they are taking away job opportunities. This is a big problem because immigrants are being mistreated or not being treated like normal people.

In the year 2012, CNN news media reported that an estimated 11.4 million illegal immigrants, or foreigners without legal documentation were living in the United States. Over the last decade, millions of undocumented people from various parts of the world, especially from Latin America, have settled all across the country. Furthermore, states such as California, Texas, New York, and Florida have continuously held the record with the highest population of immigrants than every other state. The amount of immigrants continues to grow while the government established efforts to stop or reduce the influx of immigrants. Out of the millions of immigrants living in the U.S., each year roughly 400,000 of them are apprehended and
