Arguments Against Unauthorized Immigrants

If it were up to you, and you had the choice whether or not to give undocumented citizens a chance at citizenship, would you? Many people believe that they should not have a chance at citizenship because they came here illegally. Every person has their own opinion on this topic. This debate is one of many debates going on in between the candidates or even the politicians, but of course they all have their own views and reasons on it. Everyone should consider that they should because either we are hurting families or they can help improve our economy. In the next three paragraphs this argument will be influencing you to side with my claim, that undocumented citizens should get a pathway to citizenship.

For years immigration has been the hot topic and the one topic that cannot be draw down to a conclusion. The United States government thinks that by deporting immigrants all problems will be solved. In Reality nothing can be resolved by deporting, instead is creating even more issues to the country. What needs to be realize is that deportation is just separating families, children are left without a parents or without any of their parents. Children from immigrants are sent to foster care and that is nothing that child that has parents has to go through, just for the simple reason of having undocumented parents. It is estimated that eleven million immigrants have children who are U.S. citizens, this children’s have lived their entire lives in the U.S., have attended public schools, have advanced to college and some even have jobs that support the U.S. economy (Ceceña). Some may think “well why they don’t just go with their parents?” That may sounds like a good idea, but why not think about the challenges and situations that this children will have to go through after creating a lifestyle in the U.S. Now it

In the United States, there are over 40 million immigrants, both legal and unauthorized (Auclair, Batalova, Nwosu 1). Of that 40 million, an estimated 11 million immigrants are not authorized to be in the country (Krogsadt, Passel 1). In recent news, there has been quite the debate over whether or not there should be amnesty or citizenship offered to some or all of the undocumented citizens in America. I have a personal attachment to the subject. I believe there should be a clear and easy pathway to citizenship for immigrants with some restrictions. I support this idea because they provide for older generations, younger generations, and fill jobs

The MP’s primary goal, on the other hand, is to “[bring] national awareness to the illegal alien invasion [in the United States]” (Gilchrist). McCarty, an immigration lawyer, states that The MP began in Arizona in 2004 in order to honor the “legacy of the Minutemen,” and to show concern for “homeland defense” (1477). It was named after the group of volunteer New England revolutionaries that began the American Revolution (1477). Therefore, this stakeholder seeks to enforce immigration laws in order to promote legal immigration and diminish illegal immigration. The MP claims that the great majority of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. are criminals. In fact, Cameron, an active member of the MP, argues that according to the Immigration and Customs

Immigration has been a hot topic for not only President’s Trump first 100 days in office, but also became a hot topic during the presidential campaign leading up to the election. There are a multitude of different debates that fall under the immigration category, but an issue that should be discussed in the national discourse by engaging citizens is the legalization and granting of citizenship to undocumented immigrants living in the United States. Even though it is heavily debated, undocumented immigrants should be granted the legal right to become U.S. citizens. A poll done by CNN in March states that “71% of people believe that the government should not attempt to deport all people current living in the country illegally” (Kopan, 1) compared to only “27% that believe illegal immigrants should be deported” by the same poll. This is key in the discussion being debated that undocumented immigrants should be legal citizens of the United States.

It appears that Senator Rob Portman is a bit more open to the idea of supporting immigration reforms in a positive way. He voted no against the bill that require hospitals to report illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment. That bill had the intention to place restrictions on those who came in and were not documented aliens. It would be possible to deny them care and have employers be held financially responsible for the patient if so. This is a big factor pertaining to businesses. While I do believe that all immigrants should be here legally, I don't think that if they are severely injured that they should be denied any type of care that could save their lives. He also voted to extend the period in which illegal aliens could stay in the

Illegal immigration has almost always been a part of the United States. There seems to be a neverending amount of people who believe in the “land of opportunity”, the home of the free and the brave. However, it seems that some may be more opportune than others. Illegal immigrants come to America with hopes and dreams of living a better lifestyle than the one that they currently possess. Currently, the American citizenship process is antiquated and not suited to fit a modern United States of America. Consequently, due to several constraints within the system, many are unable to achieve their dreams legally, and are treated like common crooks. Although many believe that illegal immigrants are criminals who should be deported, undocumented immigrants are victims of a broken system and are crucial to the sustainability of the modern-day American economy.

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

This has been a ongoing problem in America for quite sometime now, It’s a problem that is being widely addressed by people like our very own president of the United States. It’s been an outrage to many people in our country. If you haven't guessed by now, the problem im referring to is illegal immigration and undocumented people coming into our country trying to become citizens. The reason that is a bad idea is because first off we don't know anything about these people sense they have no information about themself. Second because they can cause serious damage to our country. And lastly because they potentially ruin the us economy. I personally chose to argue with the side of not allowing undocumented people in our country because I personally

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

Even with the evidence presented, some will still argue illegal immigrants should have a path to citizenship. The opposing side may proclaim that immigrants take unwanted jobs, or that some pay tax. The truth is, those arguments are blasphemy. If you say immigrants are taking unwanted jobs, you clearly have not seen the homeless rate in the United States. In 2013, 610,042 Americans were without jobs. I’m not saying all of them actively search for jobs, but it has been shown that over 65% of homeless people (about 310,000) are actively searching for a job. Furthermore, to address the other argument, the fact that some pay tax isn’t good enough. These people are stealing your jobs, education, healthcare, and welfare, but the fact that some pay

I would like to formally state how I deeply disagree on how you would carry out your immigration reform if you do end up winning the presidency. On your campaign website, you claim that you will build a wall across the southern border, round up all those who had entered illegally, and you will make Mexico pay for the building of the wall. These ideas of yours are inhumane and goes against what the U.S. government stands for. The better alternative is we can give them a six month period, like Ben Carson said, for them to register for citizenship. Those six months would give them time to register for citizenship, get a job, and show that they have not caused any harm to this country.

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.

In this essay, I will be explaining the flaws and cons of United State laws on amnesty. A definition of immigration amnesty is, “Granting citizenship to immigrants who are in the United States illegally. The reason I am against amnesty is because of the loss of jobs of American citizens, the loss of American culture in our country, and the overcrowding of schools and communities. As Tom Tancredo put it, “Amnesty is a terrible policy, and it's terrible politics. It's a terrible policy because you are rewarding people for breaking the law." (“A Definition of Amnesty.")

Immigration in the U.S. has made in big difference in the economy. Many people think they deserve to stay, but then some like Donald Trump believe they don’t deserve to stay. Most immigrants cross the border for the opportunity to work, some come in hope for a better life for their family. Only a few of the immigrants that are brave enough to take the trip actually stay in the U.S. Their jobs were often dangerous and dirty, they worked long hours, and didn’t get paid much. Almost all immigrants are not lucky enough to find good jobs, with decent pay.
