Pros And Cons Of Illegal Immigrants In The United States

No one wants to leave their country, but war, famine, and employment can cause people to migrate to find a peaceful place to stay. More than a million undocumented immigrants migrate to America every year searching for jobs and safe places for their families to stay, Because of this, every undocumented immigrant in America should be granted citizenship. The U.S government should allow the immigrants who are here illegally to become U.S citizens. Many of the undocumented immigrants do their best to assimilate, pay their taxes, and contribute to American traditions and culture. Their contributions to our country have done so much for the people, we should be honored to have them.

The sixth amendment states, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and District wherein the crime shall have been committed, which District shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel or his defence.” ("The Bill of Rights and Amendments 11-27.") This amendment means that anyone who is accused of a crime has the right to a quick and public trial. The trial of the accused must be held by an unbiased jury in the area where the crime supposedly

The Sixth Amendment provides that “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a(n) speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.

     All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to      the      jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State      wherein they      reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge      the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State      deprive any      person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor      deny to any      person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws      (http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Amend.html ).

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law, which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,

The presupposition that undocumented immigrants should receive the same rights as American citizens are a categorical truth. Although some advocates against undocumented immigration would argue that they have overpopulated our nation, these romantic critics are too dogmatic in their provincial ideology. Everyone has the human rights and have the authority to enter to the country without being deported. People should know the reasons why immigrants come to America before deporting them. More than 11 million immigrants are undocumented in America and about 800,000 immigrants come to America each year. These immigrants come to America because they want to escape persecution and seek new opportunities.

Being a citizen of the United States comes with advantages that no other country can match. We are granted rights and privileges just for being born within our borders. Others can also gain these rights by adopting our way of life and swearing to uphold its values. Being a citizen or not, we are expected to obey laws that the U.S. Government has put in place to maintain order and balance. When we don’t obey these laws the government has the right to punish us. Luckily for us, our Bill of Rights has even granted us rights until proven guilty. It gives us rights to a fair and speedy trial as well as the right to representation during trial. So many rights and procedures have come about since the birth of our nation. We are constantly making

It is my opinion that if someone is in the process of gaining their citizenship they should be offered most of the rights that a citizen get but until they have become a citizen there should be limits on those rights. The basic rights all citizens should be afforded to all citizens and non-citizens however, there are some rights such as basic health care that should be provided but not major medical. If they are here illegally however there should be absolutely no rights at

This amendment gives "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Illegal immigrants should be given the right to benefits in the U.S. Illegal immigrants are willing to take all kinds of jobs that Americans don't want. According to Green Garage Blog “When it comes to doing household chores, cleaning, feeding the pets and taking care of an adult in need of care and attention, an illegal immigrant can take on these types of jobs. And knowing how busy working Americans are, it helps to get support from someone”(10 Critical Pros and Cons of Illegal immigration). Illegal immigrants can start working in the U.S doing jobs that Americans don’t want like the ones stated above. This could be the gateway to helping them get a pension, retirement plan, and a 401k. Most illegal immigrants have been in the U.S for a while

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. (US Constitution)

The United States Constitution protects the rights of every U.S. citizen from every background, culture or religion. Here are some of the rights and responsibilities that every citizen should exercise and respect to ensures that America continues to be a free and prosperous nation.

Citizens who are born in the United States sometimes take advantage of the system and are still considered “citizens.” This is unfair for the immigrants who work, pay taxes and are trying to become a citizen of the state, but have to go through a long and complex process. However, others say that immigrants come here illegally into the country are breaking the law, but most of these immigrants are desperate to start another life and earn money to send back home. Also immigrants do not understand the slow and long processes to be allowed in another country.

Simply, just because one does not use their fundamental rights as a United States citizen does not mean that the rights of other U.S. citizens should be disregarded.

As long as you are living in the United States, you are entitled to some rights no matter your legal status; at least that should be the case. This isn’t true for most immigrants. As Jorge Ramos stated, “I don’t want to live in a country in which some people have privileges and rights and then you have 11 million people who have no rights whatsoever.” (Manjarres). Anti-Immigration laws are degrading, and cause a lot of racial profiling. There are also times when an immigrant will get harsher punishment for the same crime as somebody who is legal, or even have to wait months in order to find something out about their case. Laws should be upheld in the same manner for all people; immigrant or
