Persuasive Speech About Immigration

Good Essays

Mr. President, I believe in everything you stand for. I am 13 years old, so I could not vote, but I would have if I were 18. I was fearful of my future until you became our
President. I feel safe with you leading our country. I love that your agenda is to put
American families first. You are helping get our country out of the largest debt this country has ever seen. I have to say I am very proud to call myself an American with you leading the Unites States of America. I am writing to you in hopes that you will be able to get our immigration crisis under control.
Illegal Immigrants are breaking the law by not abiding by our constitution in America.
They do not respect our country and laws that make our country safe and economy thrive. I know that my parents work hard to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly, however government taxes come out of their hard earned paychecks in order to feed, house and provide medical treatment to illegal immigrants who don’t have jobs and are here illegally. That doesn’t seem very fair, does it?
The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the most authoritative report on the issue yet. Despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off- setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American
Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about
$116 billion.
State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45 billion in costs for illegals.
The added burden on taxpayers and the unfairness to those who have applied to come into the United States through legal channels is also driving the administration's immigration crackdown.

The report, titled "The Fiscal Burden Of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers," is the most comprehensive cost tally from FAIR. It said that the costs have jumped about $3 billion in four years and will continue to surge unless illegal immigration is stopped.
