Pros And Cons Of Illegal Immigration

An American citizen who visits other countries is somehow automatically protected, held to certain regards and given certain liberties, which sometimes the “Citizens” of those countries do not receive. Americans can travel to just about any country without a visa or any form of legal documents. Aside from a passport, they can choose to reside in that country simply because they want to without any form of backlash, ill treatment, or fear for their lives. They get some of the better jobs pushing the locals out of those positions. Therefore, illegal immigrants in the United States do have some constitutional rights that citizens have.

Whether to grant illegal immigrants full amnesty or not is a very controversial and important question in today's society. As David Decrosse explains, amnesty means, “lifting a penalty associated with an entire class of people who have violated a law.” Some people might think that American authority deporting illegal immigrants with little repercussions is amnesty, but full amnesty would mean letting the immigrants stay in America and have a regulated job. If amnesty is granted the economy would benefit, it is morally right, and it would not hurt the society in any way.

The United States is the home of millions of Americans who are the descendants of immigrants. They were forced to leave their homeland because of the overbearing power of their leaders, crimes they may have committed, oppression and other disasters. Providing a safe haven from those being treated poorly by their country or just providing a new place for people just looking for a fresh start has been America’s tradition since the beginning. Immigrants have played a big role in American history since July 4, 1776 (America), the day the United States was founded. They’ve been able to come to America to find work, open businesses, raise families and so much more. Lately however there has been an influx of people immigrating to America illegally. Our borders have always been open to those in need of a new home, but when it’s done illegally it causes many problems for the Country.

Illegal immigration can be a double-edged sword. One side is that local economies are supported by the undocumented workers and the other side disadvantages the state with unpaid taxes by the workers and their employers. Both are pro et contra (for and against) arguments of unlawful immigration in the U.S., however without immigrants can the U.S. economy survive? Basically, it cannot. Yes, immigrants take the work others do not want for little pay, leaving fewer jobs for those who also demand higher salaries but depriving the U.S of those workers may leave farms with unpicked produce that never feed our communities. Without the immigrant work force a large percentage of American economic life would be impacted, hurting the few largely immigrant populated states of Arizona, California, Florida and Texas first, but then the ripple would reach all of U.S. The impact estimates could be horrendous. Then lastly, most importantly everyone deserves equal rights as humans, whether legal or illegal.

If America is a supposed “melting pot” and “land of opportunity”, why does immigration happen to be one of the biggest issues circulating the news as well as the White House? According to the Migration Policy Institute there are approximately 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. These men, women and children enter the country illegally, with the purpose of living a better life. These people are willing to enter America in ghastly fashions, a perfect example are the undocumented immigrants that recently fled from Mexico. The migrants took off on rafts through Rio Grande and eventually made it into the back of a sweltering hot trailer, in which, 10 of them died due to the deplorable conditions. They may not be citizens

America is the land of opportunity. People across the world know this, and want to come live here for various reasons, whether it be for better jobs, better futures for their children, or even to escape war or persecution. Emigrants have been making their way here from their home countries since 1945 (Hunter, 2013), however; within the past 15 years, the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States has been steadily increasing (Rivera-Batiz, 2001). Because of this, the United States should instill stricter regulations when it comes to enforcing and protecting our borders; the uncontrolled flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. is undermining our economy, contributing to the amount of crime in the country, and taking a toll on the environment. The United States has the largest number of illegals: approximately 11 million (Hunter, 2013). Going through the proper procedures for immigrants to enter the country will help ease the transition and minimize its effects, for the immigrants themselves and for our own country.

Immigration is an increasingly hot controversy in southern California; there have even been various rallies recently with many supporting a path to citizenship and others arguing that we need to close our boarders and prosecute violators. Immigration is the spotlight not due to money, but because it affects problems like race, the role of government, national identity and change. There are more advantages than disadvantages on supporting illegal immigration and supporting an amnesty.

Immigration is one of the most controversial subjects in America today, and has been a major crisis in many countries like The United States of America, The United Kingdom, Italy, Greece and more. This essay will be focusing on immigration in the United States of America. There are over 10 million illegal immigrants that are currently residing in the US with an increasing population of 700,000 per year. Immigration has a negative impact as well as a positive impact on America. Contrary to popular belief America’s economy is not affected negatively by immigrants but instead the U.S actually has a strong economy. The illegal immigration in America is a sign of how dangerously open their borders are which of course is one of the main cons of immigration.

America is a nation with lots of immigrant, and that have caused the politicians and citizens of America to make a big debate about whether this is an issue or not. The immigrants system is fundamentally broken and that creates frustrations. But there are both some pros and cons of US immigration.

Illegal immigration is a burden on Americas society because illegal immigrants work here, which is good for them, but they send that money back to the country they are from, which takes money from our economy.

Philosopher Immanuel Kant’s theory of the Metaphysics of morals, explains actions, nor consequences affect our goodwill it depends on whether we fulfill our duties. Many of us do the best we can fulfil our moral obligations, anything we do has an impact morally. Illegal immigration is one of the largest problems the United States is currently facing. Is it morally right to deport those who face daily challenges to give their children a better life? Nevertheless, unfortunately deportation levels are increasing, leaving children without parents, and ripping families apart. Hypothetically speaking, is illegal immigration unethical?

What is illegal immigration and why is such an issue not only in the United States but in other countries as well? Illegal immigration is “a foreigner who has entered or resides in a country unlawfully, without the countries authorization or without an entry or immigrant visa, especially a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or who overstays the period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson.” (Dictionary.com) Illegal immigration has been an issue for a long time and we are still dealing with this issue because there hasn’t been a proper solution proposed in order to stop it. Although there are two sides to the issue between federal state governments and the citizens of the United States both proving many pros and cons about the issue. Going into greater detail-

Illegal immigration a major topic in the USA right now. Whether it is border security to deportation and majors making sanctuary cities. It is a controversy no matter what angle you look at it. Although people think it is all bad there is some good also hidden in it that you might not see on the surface but also more bad.

Illegal immigration is a major problem which most of the developed countries face in the current economy, and it has been major political problem for the political parties in America (republicans and democrats) and over years each party has a different agenda to discuss the problem. Illegal immigration can be defined as a movement of people from a source country to the destination country without any legal documents and violates destination countries immigration laws. People have moved across lands over years to escape a war situation or to get better facilities in a different country. Countries have defined immigration laws to restrict people to enter their land without proper documentation as illegal immigration social and time

A rational view outside the norm, realizing minorities, for example, woman suffrage, slavery, etc., all have gone through what immigration is going through today. My thoughts on, immigration becoming legal whether an individual crossed with or without permission, the United States government could focus on real criminals. Often Illegals considered criminals due to crossing the border without permission yet not all the people crossing are trying to destroy the United States or create complications. Because people move countries with the push and pull factors, leave their country for reasons such as poverty, and pulled in by job opportunities. If immigration were to become legal looking back on the treatment of some immigrants seems unmoral
