Michelle Lopez once said, “Immigrants aren't criminals. They shouldn't be punished for living here and helping the economy.” Immigrants come here for a better life and they should have to leave or get deported.
“Illegal immigrants broke the law to come [here]” said someone anonymous. In other words, he said that illegal immigrants shouldn't be here in the United States because they broke the law. However, part of this country was part of Mexico, which means that the “immigrants” were here before most Americans, so they technically aren't immigrants. Furthermore, some did break the laws, but they are here and they do what some Americans don't do. Immigrants pay taxes, bills and other things that some Americans do not pay. Someone responded to that comment, “If they're here, they're here. If they work they should be paying taxes like the rest of [us].” To clarify, that person said that since Immigrants work, they get to pay their taxes, so they are doing what they are really supposed to do. I agree because they come in search for jobs, which means they are able to pay their taxes [ Should illegal Immigrants Be Deported?, debate.org ]

More specifically, they are saying that they are hiding and that they should leave. On the other hand, I say that the immigrants come here to the United States in search for a better life, because their home state is in very bad times, or it has issues. In the article Immigrants Are Human Beings Who Just Want a Better Life, Ted Laguatan said, “Famines, wars, natural disasters, poverty, etc… are the usual reasons for migration.” To rephrase this, immigrants come on search for a less dangerous life and a more successful life. Furthermore, i think that America should be honored that she many immigrants risk their lives and come here for a better life.
were all illegal immigrants at one point [in time]... America was made to be a free country, [to give people] a better chance at life... All the jobs that [unemployed Americans] say we [immigrants] are taking away from them, are jobs that only pay minimum wage and that Americans do not want to do anyway. The jobs are, [for instance] working in fields and factories...”
America is traditionally a country of immigrants. Very few people today have relatives who were Native Americans, many of them because of religious persecution, and others because of they were just looking to start a new life on the exciting untouched frontier. For instance, in Florida, the first arrivals were European, beginning with the Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon who explored the land in 1513, following French and Spanish settlement during the 16th century. From the past, America was seen as a country of opportunities. People from all over the world have moved here looking for better opportunities. There are a lot of reasons why immigrants should live in this country, but I would like to mention three of 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
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
An illegal immigrant, who works for their keep in an unknown country, contributes to taxes, stays out of trouble, and just wants a better life in a foreign country, on unknown land should be recognized for their contribution to that particular society. An illegal immigrant is a person who migrates to a different country in a way that is in violation of the immigrant laws of that country. Immigration has been a divided topic for many years in America- illegal immigrants are sometimes seen as a burden to America, but others view them as an economic savior. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States and many Americans have mixed views about where there stance should be regarding citizenship. Illegal immigrants
The U.S. is slammed by growing numbers in population. It seems that many do not think of the long term effects of this increase. This is one of the most significant problems Americans face today, yet no one talks about the problem, when it comes to the debate over immigration. “The current world population is over 6 billion and increases at a rate of 76,570,430 people every year. Since 1950, U.S. population has nearly doubled - growing from 151 million to over 294 million today. If present trends continue, our population will exceed 400 million by the year 2050. Immigration contributes over one million people to the U.S. population annually. The total foreign-born population in the U.S. is now 31.1 million, a record 57 percent
For many years, people from all over the world have come to the United States seeking a better life for themselves, their spouse, their children and even their children's children. However, not every immigrant comes into this country legally and many of these illegal immigrants are poor, uneducated and may be carrying contagious diseases. They may arrive here via human trafficking, smuggling or other methods. There is one thing we know for sure that many of them choose to remain silence when they become victims. The three main reasons they become invisible victims are they are not aware they are victimized, they don't know the right way to ask for help and they are afraid to be fired or even deported.
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.
taken by Americans. But most of the jobs that some of the immigrants take are
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 immigrants are just that Illegal. Illegal immigrants should have no rights in this country and no support the same way an American criminal has no rights or support. Americans businesses don't wan't to hire a citizen that get's 7.25 an hour vs an illegal who gets maybe 2 dollars a day. No one, no matter how bad their circumstances, has the right to break American law every day they are here illegally,
In April of 2010, Arizona passed a law authorizing local police to check the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect of being in the United States illegally. The law has generated debate between people who say it is necessary to combat illegal immigration and opponents who say it is an infringement on civil liberties and it invites to racial/ethnic profiling of Hispanics by the law enforcement. In addition, some say the law will create tensions between law enforcement and Hispanics that will hinder general law that is enforced. There is research that Arizona claims that Hispanics are the biggest group of illegals to any other race. Hispanics are the most likely group to be in illegal status. Nationally, there were an estimated
Illegal immigrants have always been a problem for the United States. Entering the country illegally can result in deportation back to their native country. The majority of those that enter the country illegally are here to find a better future. As more and more undocumented immigrants pour into this country, stricter laws are being passed which in terms becomes a controversial issue.
Immigration laws have been a subject of debate throughout American history, especially in states such as California and Texas, where immigrant populations are high. Recently, some citizens have been questioning whether we should continue to educate the children of illegal immigrants. While this issue is steeped in emotional controversy, we must not allow divisive "us against them" rhetoric to cloud our thinking. Yes, educating undocumented immigrants costs us, but not educating them would cost us much more.
