I was about eleven years old when my aunt got deported. She came here to have a better life, work and most of all be with family. About two years later after she got deported she died in Mexico because of health issues. She wouldn’t have died if she wasn’t deported because the U.S has more advanced medicines that could have helped her. Illegal Immigrants should be allowed to stay in the U.S. One reason illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the United States is that they're willing to take jobs that no one wants. About 7.2 million undocumented Immigrants work in the U.S. They also make jobs for Immigrants and Americans. Most of the time they take jobs that don’t take that much skill. Most of the time they are working with other Immigrants. They also work for Americans that need workers and in those jobs they work with Americans. Most immigrants need money to pay for their family …show more content…
They help the economy by starting their own businesses. By creating businesses, they are creating more job opportunities for other immigrants and Americans. In 2011 illegal immigrants started over twenty eight percent of U.S businesses. They also help out the economy by working on farms. If they deported all the illegal immigrants that work on farms there would not be enough americans to replace every illegal immigrant. If they deported half of the illegal immigrant population it would also reduce the economic growth by two hundred fifty billion dollars. But if they removed all of the illegal immigrants working on a farm the economic growth would drop about four hundred billion dollars. In conclusion I think illegal immigrants should be able to stay in the U.S. They help the economy, they are willing to take jobs no one wants to take, and they pay taxes like everyone else. Do you think illegal immigrants should be able to stay in the U.S? Do you want families broken apart? If you don’t join me and fight against
Should immigrants who are in the country illegally be deported or stay in the United States?
In the United States illegal immigration benefits the economy and growth, but also creates more problems such as inviting more immigrants. According to the article Undocumented Immigrants Should Receive Social Services by Melissa Marietta confirms “Immigrants to this country are not fighting for a student loan or access to a free clinic; they are fighting for the opportunities that they are denied in their native country” (Marietta). Most people look for a better future and head towards the opportunities illegal immigrants recognize United States as a land of opportunities. There are many working opportunities such as mining, railroad, lumbering, and construction in the United States. For example, a common job for illegal immigrants is the construction field. The
Every human being living should have access to the American dream. It should matter if you are from Mexico, China, or Japan we are all created equal and I strongly do not agree with the illegal immigration rules why stop a person trying to travel across the world trying to better their lives. Why are we here if they
Did you know that there is an estamated 3.1 million american children with at least one parent who is illigally in the united states? Illegal immigration has always been a problem in the U.S dating all the way back to 1875. In 1882 president Chester A. Aurthor was the first president to bann all chinese workers. Soon after, the criminals and the mentally ill were refused from theU.S. Immigration wasn't always a problem before this. In 1892 the first portal oft immigration opened up in Ellis Island, New York. This was the premier station for immigration. Here new arrivals had to show identity and were asked a series of questions. After all this the immigrants were scanned for physical ailments and they had to have a friend or family
Illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in America. According to the dictionary definition, an illegal immigrant also known as an illegal alien is “a foreigner who enters a country 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”. From Renewing America, the U.S. immigration debate “Immigration has been a touchstone of the U.S. political debate for decades, as policymakers must weigh competing for economic, security, and humanitarian concerns. Congress has been unable to reach an agreement on comprehensive immigration reform for years, effectively moving some major policy decisions into the executive and judicial branches of government, and fueling debate in the halls of state and municipal governments. Meanwhile, the fates of an estimated eleven million undocumented immigrants in the country, as well as rules for legal immigration, lie in the balance”(Felter and Renwick). There are many arguments that support allowing illegal immigrants into America, because of this immigration has been a controversial issue for over so many years. According to SIRS knowledge source, some would argue that “unauthorized immigrants should be detained and deported for flouting the law”, but on the other side, people would disagree with these accusations because, but “the vast majority of unauthorized immigrants are hard-working individuals in search
Should millions of undocumented immigrants be allowed to live in the U.S without the fear of being deported and losing their families? Undocumented immigrants who move to the U.S to help give a better life to their families should not worry about being deported. Undocumented immigrants risk their lives crossing boarders, just to give their families a better life. Not all undocumented are rapists, drug traffickers or any of the other things Donald Trump has said about the undocumented immigrant. Undocumented immigrant laws have become a situation because so many undocumented immigrants live and work in the United States. Trying to figure out whether undocumented immigrants should be deported or legalized is causing an effect on the families and they live in fear of what could happen and how it could change their lives forever. Many undocumented immigrants take many risks to cross the border and the fear that undocumented immigrants have to live with is unfair.
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.
Being an immigrant in the United States is hard. People come here to work and bring their children, because there’s more opportunities here and the country is known for being a free land. But they are being sent back to a place where they don’t get the same things as they do here.Immigrants are also a big part of the U.S because most are in the fields,construction,landscaping, and all these jobs that are hard. Immigrants shouldn’t be deported because they are here to work hard, to help out their families and also live the American dream like any other.
Illegal immigration has caused a lot of controversy within the United States. The media has influenced our society to make us believe that illegal immigrants are horrible people. One thing that I have learned throughout life is, “Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains (Rousseau 4).” This sums up how society dictates our lives and limits us to what the media wants to us to believe. Whether it is legal or illegal, everybody should be treated equally. Illegal immigrants might always end up with the short end of the stick, but they heavily support the US economy. They contribute by paying taxes every year. In addition, they adopt difficult low wage jobs that are not of interest to the average American.
Immigrants come to America chasing hopes and dreams of someday having a life of wealth. The United States has this imagine that everything will be better and all your problems will be solved. However, in the last century we’ve had a raise of Illegal Immigrants in the country.
Undocumented immigrants have created lives here and become part of communities, and it is not right to take that away from them. Not only is it not inhumane, but also it would hurt the economy as well since granting citizenship to undocumented workers causing the economy to grow, not stunt its growth. Even though many believe that undocumented immigrants becoming citizens will harm citizen’s jobs, this is also proven to be false because immigrants create jobs and fill the gaps of the jobs not done by natural born citizens. Undocumented immigrants also are proven to not commit as many crimes as the American counterpart, unlike many opponents’ views. By legalizing and allowing the citizenship of over 11 million people, our country can grow, not only financially in our economy, but grow as a
Illegal immigration has been around for a very long time. Mexican illegal immigrants have dealt with coming into the United States for jobs and trying to give their children a better education since the early 1940’s but always have to deal with the fear of getting deported. Should illegal immigrant children from Mexico be allowed to stay in the United States, receive education and be allowed to stay with their families? After examining mexican illegal immigrants, it is clear that illegal immigrants are trying to give their children a better life because a majority of them do get out of poverty, their parents take jobs no one else wants to take, and the children are an important asset to the United States with the citizens being okay with them.
Illegal immigrants help boost the United States economy by paying some taxes. Like American citizens, illegal immigrants may pay local, state, and federal taxes including sales tax that helps support government services that they may not be able to access (Ewing 9). Since more American citizens are becoming aware of the benefits of an education, openings are being created for illegal immigrants in low paying jobs (Nadadur 1037-1052). Americans, unlike illegal immigrants, have more diverse careers. Aliens are more concentrated in specific job areas, resulting in a decrease in immigrant labor cost. This helps boost the United States’ economy (Carter 777-795). Of the approximate eleven million illegal immigrants in the U.S., most work in labor intensive jobs. Careers such as construction and agriculture tend to attract illegal aliens and they account for about twenty-five percent of the work force in these areas (Ewing 9). Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve admits that illegal immigrants help improve the United States economy and does not suggest turning them away (qtd. in Quindlen 90). Anna Quindlen, in her article “Newcomers By Numbers,” agrees with Bernanke and believes that immigrants are the factor that helps keep prices low. She also adds that immigrants are not causing American citizens unemployment, but are simply taking the low wage jobs that citizens are not willing to do and even boosting the economy (90).
Illegal immigration has become a huge issue in the United States, it is estimated that there are about twelve million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. today and that number is growing larger every day. This issue has caused multiple social, economic, safety, and law issues within the country. The state and federal government is using billions of dollars on things such as school, welfare, and medical and receiving minimal or no money in return simply because they are giving out the money to illegal immigrants who do not pay taxes to help fund things. Even though illegal immigrants help the economy, take low paying jobs, and improve the overall image of America, the U.S. must not allow any persons who enter this country illegally to
There is one question that many people always think about when it comes to immigration. Are the undocumented immigrants helping or hurting our economy? There are many people who argue that immigrants hurt the economy, but by having the DREAM Act it will help the economy. “A study released by the Center for Immigration Studies, and immigration research organizations, stated ‘Households headed by illegal immigrants imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost $10.4 billion, or $2,700 per illegal household.’” (Haerens 19). On the contrary, if the DREAM Act were to be passed, it would cut the deficit by nearly $1.4 billion and increase the revenues by $2.3 billion over ten years. These students could also add $1.4 - $3.6 trillion in taxable income to our economy (Miranda). There would
