Illegal Immigration Persuasive Speech

As an individual who has witnessed family friends of immigrants that came to this country over 20 years ago in hope of a better future. I understand why so many immigrants are willing to cross a border so dangerous and treacherous to reach a country that is called the land of opportunities. What we call The Unites States of America the land of the free. An average of 2,700 illegal immigrants are willing to cross the border each day leaving there families and risking their own life's to cross to the US. Mostly in the news we tend to hear only the superficial fact but never the real facts or the stories of the capture immigrants. If we would just take time to listen to the real stories of what I called the unforgotten children and women. We

I myself am a Texas native and although I don't reside in a border town, I feel illegal immigration an border security is something that's plaguing both my beloved Texas, as well as our great nation. I am a United States born hispanic American; my parents are U.S. born citizens as are my grand parents and many generations before. So it is with careful calculation that I have viewed this pressing issue and compiled my stance on what I feel would be most beneficial to all parties concerned.

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

Specific Purpose: To persuade the members of my audience to support that undocumented students should have access to in-state tuition.

My fellow Senators I stand in the firmest Affirmation to this bill in regards to building a US Mexico Border Wall for the following three contentions.

Although most immigrants are stereotyped, all immigrants are not taking advantage of the system. According to the Urban Institute, illegal immigrant families pay 70.3 billion dollars annually in taxes. This is only a third of the 227 billion dollars total spent overall on education. Not all illegal immigrants receive welfare from the U.S. government. Only the families that consist of children that were born in the United States receive Government assistance.

The costs involved with illegal immigration grow every year and will continue to escalate if the interpretation of the 14th amendment is not altered. The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that the births of children of illegal aliens costs nearly $6 billion, which are funded mainly through Medicaid programs, federal money and American

“Households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than 26.3 billion dollars in costs on the federal government…and paid only 16 billion dollars in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost 10.4 billion dollars, or two thousand seven hundred dollars per illegal household” (Miller 1). Some people would argue that immigrants come to America to take jobs that no one else will do, but the illegal immigrants are in fact draining social services and stealing free health care benefits. In addition, immigrants pay little or no taxes to benefit the social services and health care providers that they drain. By doing so, the American tax payers must take on the high price of the American

Many illegal immigrants in the U.S pay taxes annually, but there still not granted to become citizen or given a chance to become one. Many start working low skill jobs primary in picking fruits and vegetables or in construction staring anywhere from one dollar to three dollars a day many immigrants earn well under the poverty line. Illegal immigrants work countless hours a week struggling to make ends meet and to provide a better future for them self’s and their family. Many immigrants 87% out of the 11.5 million pay taxes the U.S. The taxes are deducted in their paycheck like a U.S citizen does but the U.S government does not grant their hard work. The illegal immigrants pay Medicare and social security and are estimated 11 billion dollars annual, where there not granted citizenship nor benefits but there still contribute in the country like if they were citizens.

$90 Billion dollars a year is spent on illegal immigrants for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.

Our country is supposed to be one about opportunity, neglecting to provide an equal chance for these children to learn would contradict the notion that America is the land of opportunity.

They account for 12 billion dollars in the US tax system (US institution of taxation). 75% of the money goes into social security, a program that they themselves will not be eligible for (“Undocumented' Immigrants Pay Billions in Taxes”).Many businesses capitalize from illegal immigrants in the work force by using cheap labor to get their work done. The report estimates the average income of an "undocumented family" is a little more than $30,000, well below the country's median household income of around $54,000, according to the Census Bureau. However, when looking at the share of total income paid in taxes, the institute's report estimates the average tax rate for immigrants in the country illegally is higher than the rate paid by America's top earners (“Undocumented' Immigrants Pay Billions in Taxes”). Without these illegal immigrants the US economy would be very sore. If the American government can take these illegal immigrants tax dollars they should me more than capable to give their children an opportunity for a public

Good morning delegates of the youth parliament and observing members. Today I stand before you to discuss an issue that continues to evoke high emotions and create deep divisions within Australian society. I refer to the matter of refugees and Australia's immigration policy. Not since the second world war has the world faced such an upheaval with so many people displaced. In 2015 there were 65.3 million people forcibly displaced from their homes because of conflict and persecution. Developing countries hold 84% of refugees while wealthier countries like Australia prioritise the need to reduce asylum seekers within their borders. The current policy contravenes the proper treatment of refugees and asylum seekers; because regardless of their mode of entry, once here Australia has a duty to provide protection.

Illegal immigration also has a great cost as well. Illegal immigrant households imposed, in total, costs exceeding $26 billion for the federal government, while these immigrants paid only 16 billion dollars in federal taxes, therefore creating a fiscal deficit of $10.4 billion per year at the federal level. The largest contributors to this deficit were Medicaid with $2.5 billion, medical treatment for the uninsured with $2.2 billion, food-assistance programs with $1.9 billion, the federal prison and court systems with $1.6 billion, and federal aid to schools with $1.4 billion.
