Children Born in the U.S. to Illegal Immigrants Should NOT Become American Citizens

Contrary to this, others believe that illegal immigrants threaten the United States HealthCare System, Madeline Pelner Cosman stated, “In 1994, 74987 anchor babies in California hospital maternity unit cost $215 million and constituted 36 percent of

Out of those million immigrants there are about one out of five children under the age of eighteen are either an immigrant or a child of immigrants parents. (Orozco, 2001). The majority of immigrants are from Latino or Asian origin. The United States has been experiencing a large wave of people coming into this country to start a new life from what they had before. Every region in the country is experiencing the growth of immigration every year. With this new immigration the U.S is witnessing immigrant children take over public schools. Today immigrant students are becoming the fastest population to grow in the child population in the United States (Hamilton, 2010). Many parents send their children to the United States and separate themselves from them because they want them to have a better life and live the American dream. Many kids go to school at a young age and get through high school and college and even start their careers. But many of them have to live in fear of being found out. They can’t trust many people, even the closest one to them (Vargas,

     Illegal immigrants usually hold jobs that have bad conditions and worse pay.  Oftentimes, these jobs are found in sectors such as agriculture, construction, food-handling and manufacturing (Dwyer).  Unfortunately for the illegal individuals who acquire these jobs, they have no access to comprehensive health care, though their line of work tends to demand it.  Although illegal immigrants are consequently strapped for cash, many of them will not visit primary care physicians for fear of being deported.  This sets up a vicious cycle: individuals get sick yet ignore the signs.  When illnesses get remarkably worse and are too severe to treat at doctors' offices, the individuals then go to emergency rooms, where the cost is considerably greater.  More often than not, the immigrants cannot afford to pay their hospital bills.  The cost is then covered by the medical institutions and tax-payer dollars (Wolf).  While some argue that illegal migrants do not

The majority of American children grow up learning that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. There is little room for argument against the idea that the United States is a nation founded on immigration. However, there are some Americans who contend to the idea that new immigrants should not be allowed into United States and should receive no help adapting to their new culture. When people travel to the United States, the majority choose to bring their children with them. These children leave their homes and must come face to face with their new surroundings. If children are rejected at the border, what does that say about American citizens? How the children are treated by their peers can have a considerable impact on their likelihood of success. If nearly 44 million foreign-born people live in the United States 22 percent of those people are children, that leaves with America nearly 10 million immigrant children who may need assistance while trying to go through school. Immigrant children are typically described as those who have at least one foreign-born parent. These children deserve the same opportunities to succeed as the typical American born children. With assistance, immigrant children are likely to graduate high school and even move forward with college. If American citizens wish to make the United States a better place, they must move forward with helping the immigrant children.

Current The United States Immigration System (USIC) policy is inhumane to the country and its legal system. There have been many incidents of brutal deportation where person is being hurt or experienced inhumanity. As stated by Mallory Shelbourne in the article published in The Hill, “The administrative complaint includes accounts from multiple women who were detained by [Immigrations and Customs Enforcement] while pregnant, including one woman who said she was unable to obtain medical attention after telling officials she was pregnant and bleeding.” This exemplified the cruelty of officials in the process. Pregnant women or any medical seeking person should be taken care by officials regardless of their immigration status.

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

Illegal immigration costs the United States about $113 billion dollars per year. Most of the cost is payed by the state and local governments, about $84 billion. The other $29 billion is covered by the federal government. The cost of educating illegal immigrant children and U.S. born anchor babies is almost $52 billion annually. (Martin, 2013) The costs of welfare services, medical expenses, crime, and education are only a few of the costs related to illegal immigration. There illegal immigrants driving on in the United Sates without automobile insurance. When accidents occur it is law abiding U.S. citizens bear the costs through higher insurance rates. Although these costs aren’t as large as the others discussed, it is costs like these that add up

Statistically one and every 10 children born is an anchor baby. According to a video by Top Right News it cost about “4,700 dollars to have a baby in a hospital” (Anchor Baby’ Outrage: How Americans Pay BILLIONS for Illegal Alien Births (Video)). The money for illegal immigrants to have “anchor babies” be born is paid for my tax payers. But tax payers also pay for killers, rapist, and child molesters to have health and dental care in prison. Also, everyone has to work to have some sense of security and immigrants work for less and keep food in the grocery stores and our households. In my opinion, the cost evens out and I would much rather give my money to the babies than

It is estimated that between 287,000 to 363,000 anchor babies are born a year, and there could be countless more because hospital workers can not inquire of patients' legality. California provides free natal care and delivery to all pregnant mothers no matter of citizenship and it costs the state 215.2 million dollars a year. Californians voted to end the program, but at the state government session, the president of Mexico provided an argument to strike the vote down.

Today the Society is split into three separately minded groups. In no specific ordering, the first is determined to believe that any one person born in the United States is a citizen and which means their parents should become citizens along with them. These are the ones whom obtain “birthright citizenship” (Raul). The second are firm believers in the only ones that should be citizens are the ones who go through the proper process of becoming a citizen and according to the article in “USA today,” it states that illegal immigrants are “having babies as a way to obtain citizenship,” which too many Americans “cheapens the whole idea of being American”. The last group is the “other” the ones whom are completely neutral or believe in the

County Hospitals that are already underfunded to provide indigent and uninsured care for citizens are also providing health services for the immigrants. Local Law Enforcement and City and County jails deal with those immigrants that break the law and are having to absorb those costs until they can be handed off to Federal Immigration services for deportation.

Illegal immigrants do bring a sense of Diversity to our country. There are so many different cultures all around the world that we dom not know of and would probably never see if not for these immigrants bringing their culture with them. Im a firm believer that everyone has the right to believe or think what they like. They have to right to believe what they were brought up to believe or if they want to change them they have that right to do so as well. Everytime is hear or witness the issues with illegal immigrants, i can not help but wonder why they want to come the the United States. What cause or situation has they leaving their native land and come here, what is the reason they want to live here. I know many countries out thier are not as well off as ours and i feel that is the reason many do come here in serch of a better life. I believe we all deserve this chance. Even us as native born citizen, deserve this chance. I feel that is where illegal immagrants hinder society and usally get a bad wrap for recieving special help before our own citizens do. We are not all well off to do here in our own country and i feel that our own citizens need help as well.

Did you know there are 8,194,000 children in the United States with at least one immigrant parent? 8,194,000 children whose families are being threatened by the Trump administration's recent changes in immigration policies. Immigration reform has been a topic of controversy for decades. Most Americans blame Mexican immigrants for the United States economic problems and many believe undocumented immigration causes high crime rates. However recent studies have disproved that undocumented immigrants are a threat to American citizens. When people think of immigrants they think of an outdated caricature that doesn't truly represent all of the 11 million undocumented immigrants.

Children of undocumented immigrants are entitled to public education, because the U.S. constitution guarantees that migrant children and children born in the U.S. have equal educational opportunities. European immigrants migrated to the United States without question of their legal status, and were able to easily blend in, however, in the current time, race plays a great part in how people perceive undocumented migrants. Children are the future of our country and their education shouldn’t be determined by their parent’s legal status. I plan to use this article to explain how immigrants are treated differently than they were in the past, and how race may play a role into it.

Immigration laws have been a subject of debate throughout American history, especially in states such as California and Texas, where immigrant populations are high. Recently, some citizens have been questioning whether we should continue to educate the children of illegal immigrants. While this issue is steeped in emotional controversy, we must not allow divisive "us against them" rhetoric to cloud our thinking. Yes, educating undocumented immigrants costs us, but not educating them would cost us much more.
