Illegal Immigration Arguments

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bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration.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.

As time goes on, more and more immigrants venture to live in the United States. Throughout all of this, as a nation, we maintain a generally warm and welcoming stance towards immigrants. Unfortunately, lawful entry has become a massive multifaceted issue, resulting in a massive influx of illegal immigrants. Coerced by politics, the government allows illegal immigrants to enter, resulting in severe damage to the United States economy. Eventually, as the United States government fails to properly implement existing laws, illegal immigration is accelerated, creating more issues in the structure of the government that loom over the health of the country and its citizens.

There are few topics in America as controversial as illegal immigration. With the standards of living for the lower-class workers in Mexico as poor as they are, hundreds of men, women and children cross America’s southern border illegally every year in search of better opportunities for themselves and their offspring. As the 2016 presidential election has illustrated, America is very split on the issue. Republican nominee Donald Trump has stated that if elected president he will build a massive wall along America’s southern border, and that illegal immigrants will be deported en masse. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has stated that she will lead immigration reform if elected. While America has not yet decided who will

The reforming of America?s immigration policy is something that can no longer be avoided and must be dealt with as soon as possible. Years of neglect by governmental agencies and policies makers have now made this issue one of the biggest in American politics. First of it must be understood that immigration does no only effect curtain areas of the country and curtain aspect of public life but rather all of American life. Both legal and illegal immigration affect major issues such as jobs availability for all citizens, wages, education in public schools system and in general, health care issues, and the homeland security.

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

The issue of immigration is a constant concern for many in the United States and around the world. It connects to the political debate topic of building the wall to prevent Mexican immigrants from entering the country as well as send away the illegal immigrants that are living here as well. According to Renwick & Lee , as President Donald Trump begins his presidency, he has been sharing about how he wants to build a wall on the borders to eliminate any immigrants from entering the USA. This has caused many to feel rejected due to their differences. Also, it has encouraged many citizens to discriminate against

Illegal immigration was an issue in the past and is a pressing problem in the present. The U.S. Government has been trying to find a resolution to this issue for years. The United States approved the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986, which allowed the American Government to punish American companies that consciously employed illegal immigrants (Nadadur 1037-1052). The United States’ Government Immigration Reform and Control Act has been unsuccessful in controlling illegal immigration. It is estimated that illegal immigration into the U.S. has a yearly interval of three hundred fifty thousand people (Rousmaniere 24-25). It is apparent that the 1986 act was not able to keep a handle on illegal immigration. Illegal immigration

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

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

There are millions of illegal immigrants in the United States, as Markon (2016) argues that illegal from South and Central America, Europe, and Mexico form the entire illegal immigrants between 10 million to 12 million in the United States. One of these illegal is my father, who came in 1996, he came to the U.S.A to work and searched the possibility to pay the many debts that he got in my country; in addition, my country had a big problem where there weren’t jobs and many banks had broken because the change from Sucre to the dollar. At that time, my father thought the only solution was coming here to get money and pay. Likewise, as my father, there are other undocumented immigrants that came from the same situation or by other reasons to this country. Present day, the actual president of the U.S is Donald Trump, who has been wanted that entirely illegal immigrants are deported to their own country since he made some line of attack against the illegal trough his campaign. Precisely Abdullah and Jaffe (2017) explain that the president Trump signed many executive orders in his first days of being president, one of these

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?

Policies are pivotal implementations put in place by the government on local, state, and federal levels. There are endless amounts of policies enacted by the American government, with many of these policies directly influencing the lives of citizens. As the 2016 Presidential Election draws near, understanding the policies projected by each presidential candidate is essential to making an educated decision when it comes to voting for the future condition of the United States. The two primary candidates for the upcoming election, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton propose policies and plans that are in opposition to one another. One of the policies that is receiving a great deal of attention in the media right now is the issue of immigration. This issue poses a difficult question regarding how to address the presence of illegal immigrants in the United States. On one hand, immigration supports the rights of immigrants, but on the other hand, this policy limits opportunities for Americans. Due to my lack of knowledge in the area of immigration, I have decided to further investigate this issue in order to understand how Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton plan to address immigration if they are elected to office. Each candidate has plentiful ideas regarding immigration that will result in a number of benefits and/or consequences for both Americans and immigrants. Besides solely looking at the positions held by 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
