Illegal Undocumented Immigrants: what are they? Who are they? What is it? Illegal immigrats are foreign persons who are lacking the right of being an American. They typical enter the states with some sort of status and they over stay their allotted time or they sneak over with out being inspected by the right personnel.
Within the first hundred days of the executive orders being signed the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested over 40,000 undocumented personnel. This a 38 percent increase compared to the results from 2016. In 2016 more than 30,000 undocumented immigrants were caught and arrested. According to Andy Kiersz writer for the Businessinsider quoted “that Ben Gitis and Jacqueline Varas, said that based on an earlier American Action Forum study, the direst cost of dramatically expanding immigration-enforcement agencies and courts to deport roughly 11 million people would already cost the US government an estimated $400 billion to $600 billion dollars.” This is a great amount of money just to send illegal undocumented immigrants back to their perspective place, but it will be well worth it once the wall between the us and Mexico is built. This also will cost a great amount of money but it will help with the amount of illegal immigrants and the crossing of the border. So personally

It helps the economy: According to supporters, illegal immigrants work for cheaper labor and are often hardworking people because they are saving money to bring back to their families. With more than enough labor force, businesses can increase production and reach their targeted sales. If businesses are booming, it is also good for the economy. Illegal immigrants who work also pay taxes. Undocumented aliens contribute to a richer culture and biodiversity. Deporting these illegal immigrants can cost the government so it is better to let the stay. Some cons on this subject would be The threat of terrorism and
Each year thousands of mexicans cross the border illegally to find work in the united states. Most perform jobs that U.S citizens won’t do, and they pay taxes, some argue they should receive amnesty. However, opponents argue that aliens are a drain on the system and a threat to security, they should be deported. Should undocumented workers in the united states be allowed to stay? Undocumented workers in the united states should be allowed to stay in the united states. America is spending billions of dollars on different reform plans.
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.
Outside the sirens are singing and someone’s parents are taken away from their family because they are not a citizen, they didn’t do anything wrong they just weren’t citizens in the country. Not every immigrant is the same, everyone is different and they all have different opinions. Immigrants are helping out their family like every other family would and they aren’t just the only people who do wrong choices so do others. Some American’s can’t accept them in their country and say immigrants are taking their jobs. Imagine having children born in the country with foreign parents and they have to be deported with their kids waiting to be adopted by “parents with better lives.” Immigrants are like everyone else, they risk themselves but they don’t
Many people from different countries come to the US illegally. Most immigrants come here legally, and some others come the illegal way. This could be staying after visa expires, crossing the border etc. Some get caught in the process of entering the US illegally while others make it and stay living here without documentation. Many people believe that they should not be allowed to stay and here illegally because they are, to them, criminals. Others believe that they do a lot of good to this country and argue that they should be allowed to stay and legalize some of them. Throughout this paper we will discuss the pros and cons of keeping or deporting illegal immigrants and weather it is beneficial
If you were an undocumented immigrant being pressured, hated, and discriminated against, how would you feel? Over “10 to 12 million undocumented immigrants are here in the U.S(),” and this is a major controversial topic in our society right now and for years everyone has had a different opinion on what should be done about undocumented immigrants. As for me I am for the U.S. government allowing undocumented immigrants to become U.S. citizens. Though undocumented immigrants are not supposed to be here most immigrants are law abiding, pay taxes and here to live the American dream.
Thank you for your thoughtful post. In other words, you are asking how can the United States justify not providing affordable health insurance for people residing and working in country? Baiden (2010) offerings two important points, “Most, if not all of these undocumented immigrants work hard and contribute to the country's economic growth” furthermore, “The problem is that such individuals suffer high degree of exploitation at the hands of their employers” (p. 5). Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for government insurance programs, are unlikely to have employer provided insurance, and often do not have the resources to purchase private insurance. Furthermore, research has identified vulnerable populations such as low income, uninsured
Undocumented families face immense pressure getting accustomed to the new land. Many parents want to adhere to their traditional way of life, but due to the new atmosphere, they are forced to assimilate into the American culture with the hopes of becoming socially accepted. The striving force behind the American dream, as mentioned earlier, is to achieve a better life. To accomplish this, undocumented immigrants must be able attain a job and provide the basic needs and essentials of life for their family. In doing so, so many undocumented individuals experience harsh realities due to the lack of legal protection.
Undocumented immigrants provide jobs, pay taxes, and have had many positive outcomes toward the United States therefore, they should be allowed to be granted citizenship without going through all the hardships such as inhumane treatments, labeling/categorizing, harassment and detains. Undocumented immigrants are always supposedly up to no good and seen as the enemy. “There is no need for immigration so why have it?” you may ask. Throughout the years, many people have traveled to the United States from other countries to get a well paying job in order to maintain their families, to provide everything it takes to be successful for their kids, and overall to have a brighter future. Would people with bad intentions actually go through the
What is a illegal immigrant you may ask. Well an illegal immigrant is a person that illegally crossed a country's borders without proper papers and has not gone through an immigration checkpoint to authenticate their papers and baggage.
The American public seems to be aware of the issue in general, but is short of the details. There has certainly been a healthy amount of media coverage of immigration reform, but as the coverage itself is unclear as to how best to frame the problems, it mostly informs about the existence of the issue rather than informing about the issue itself. As such, there is conflicting public opinion about the issue. This mirrors the views of politicians. This could be the result of the fact that immigration reform is often framed as a singular issue when it is not. Immigration reform is an omnibus issue – a series of issues that are all loosely related to one another. There is little real connection between the H-1B visa issue and the undocumented immigrant issue. If the public and the politicians are slightly confused about immigration reform, the framing of multiple issues as a single one is part of the problem.
Undocumented workers help our economy by generating new jobs. An example of this can be seen in the following report made by Mehta et al., which states: “Undocumented immigrants in the Chicago metro area spending approximately $2.89 billion annually from their earnings. These annual expenditures of $2.89 billion generate an additional $2.56 billion in local spending. Therefore, the direct, indirect, and induced spending of undocumented workers accounts for a total of $5.45 billion spent annually in the metro area economy, or 1.5% of the Gross Regional Product for 2001. This spending generates 31,908 additional jobs in the local economy.” This report shows how greatly this marginalized group contributes to our economy, although they are not legal residents of this country. Pointing out this fact leads to the argument that legalizing all of these immigrants will help our economy even more than what they already do, since it means that more people will be paying taxes which means that more money will be collected from those
Illegal immigration has been over the years a huge problem for United States. The illegal immigrants have come into the country for different ways like the Mexico border, the Pacific Ocean, and some of the have entered through a visit visa. But after a period, they stayed illegally. The immigration phenomena is a doubled edged sword. On the one hand, it provides a boost to the local economy because they are not paid so much while they are more productive. The other factor is these people do not pay taxes, and their employers also do not pay their taxes.
An incident that changes the direction of my life was, when I broke my foot. As a young kid I loved playing sports and do aggressive activities. One day playing soccer someone who was bit stronger than I was, kicked my foot which caused the bones to break. I fell to the floor not knowing what just happened. All I remember is that some EMT’s come to the rescue and took me to the hospital. I was so glade and appreciative with the EMT’s that took care of me. As a result I told myself I will do everything that I can to help out the community just liked I was helped instead of worrying about myself and not others. I started volunteering with the fire department and received all the certifications required in order to start helping those in need.
Illegal immigration has lots of disadvantages but has equally good advantages that countries like America support immigration and makes illegal residents legalized. Many of these countries are allowing people to cross their borders but also at the same time trying to keep evil as terrorists at check to support a stable and safe society. Nadadur points out to some benefits in "Illegal Immigration: A Positive Economic Contribution to the United States" which are, immigrants pay taxes for the children who are born in the country and making them legal would impact positively on countries economic growth and because of this reason, illegal immigration has become a major problem for political parties in developed country and are working towards an agenda to make the rules around immigration better.
