Stop Illegal Immigration

Immigration has played a large role in the history of the United States since the very founding of the country. As even the founding fathers of the United States were immigrants coming to the U.S. to seek a better life. For varies reasons, immigrants have been traveling to America to seek a better life whether to achieve better economic opportunity, religious freedom, and/or political refuge (Jiménez). These reasons have caused immigrants to flood into the U.S. In the most recent years’, weather to allow immigration to keep going as it is has been a hot topic for America. This controversy over immigration has grown as Americans continue to wonder if immigration is still good for the country. Therefore, the immigration controversy has many Americans

Although the issue with illegal immigration is prominent, the solution is not as clear. Some say the annual quota of 20,000 Mexicans should be raised (Anderson 65). This does not help the fact that there is a 5-9 year wait for over 1 million immigrants to enter the country legally (Anderson 57). "Most illegals are of working age and looking for jobs" (Anderson 57). They don't want to wait years to get a job. Otherwise, there would not be near as many people crossing the border every year. Some people call for a border fence in order to lower the number of illegals (Marcovitz 27). In 2006, Congress began a $2.5 billion project to fence nearly 700 miles of the Mexican border (Marcovitz 27). Many are still pushing for the entire border to be fenced off (Marcovitz 27). Currently, only about one third of the border has been fenced, and over 1,000 miles still remain open (Marcovitz 28). The fence is patrolled by border officers. In 1992 there were about 3,500 border patrol officers. In 2010 that number had grown to over 20,000 (Marcovitz

The problem with immigration is that the federal government has failed to control immigrants coming into the U.S. illegally. This has caused a substantial increase in illegal immigration that threatens the U.S. economy.

The issue of illegal immigration has daunted this nation for many years. Currently, there are 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. Immigration reform is necessary, but amnesty is not. Last year, the United States Senate passed the ‘Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act’ by a vote of 68-32. If this bill becomes law, America will still not have fixed it’s illegal immigration issue. There are many flaws to the current immigration bill in Congress, such as the fiscal costs to taxpayers, government spending, and “border triggers”. A few commonsense fixes to improve our nation’s immigration dilemma are

The United States of America, a country created by immigrants, is currently facing what some consider to be an immigration crisis. As of 2012, there is over eleven million undocumented illegal aliens living inside the United States. Both the American public and the lawmakers elected to represent us are divided on the issue. Some people view the influx of immigrants crossing over the border from Mexico to America as a good thing while others view it as a disaster waiting to happen. Regardless of ones view on immigrants coming over, most people are in agreement with the idea that we must change the way we are currently dealing with illegal aliens.

The United States has hit a crossroad with illegal immigration. Either the government can reform laws and secure the border, or the government can allow illegal immigrants to cross the border with work visas if the illegal immigrants are seeking work. As the country grows larger, families are seeking security from the government. The U.S. border should be secured because of the amount of drugs that are flowing in with illegal immigrants, violence that follows, and the effect on the U.S. economy.

Although a border wall may make it more difficult for people to cross into the US illegally, it can’t completely prevent it. All it takes is an unsupervised hole in the wall for people to pass through. So, there are better ways to prevent illegal immigration. Instead of spending 25 billion dollars on building a wall, why don’t we focus on higher security measures on the border. For example, there could be more surveillance on the border and a more in depth immigration process could be established. So, even though a border wall would make it more difficult for illegal immigrants to pass through, establishing higher security measures could be just as productive and less expensive as

Our border system has flaws that need to be fixed, especially in this day and age where our fear lies in terrorism and violence.

Immigration laws should be reformed because immigrants are a great use for economy resource in many ways,They have also overpopulated the states with over 11 million plus immigrants and should have an opportunity for a bright future and get to where man people have once dreamed in this essay it will explain why Immigration laws should be reformed from making economy better ,increasing population but also to make the cities countries bigger and better,

This affects me personally because I belong to immigrant family who came from another country so we could live a better future. Americans are always pointing their fingers towards immigrants for the country's problem such as the downfall in the economy (taking away jobs), crimes, changing of culture, population,etc, but in reality immigrants are literally building America up brick by brick. People believe that the US is a best place to live because there is more freedom, protection, and opportunity. No country has the right to take that away from anyone. America was formed by immigrants, then why are we stopping now?

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

As an American citizen, we live by the American Dream. The American Dream is the right of life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Should something like this be shared with those of whom are not native to America? The United States has done nothing, but pass laws that are not working on keeping Illegal immigrants from crossing the border. We have to make sure that the American people are what come first. Keep illegal immigrants from crossing the borders to let the people of America keep their jobs and more importantly their safety. There has been an increase of lost jobs, the lives of many Americans and crime rates.

In America, immigration has been an issue for a long time. American law enforcements, are striving to keep illegal immigrants from crossing the border. Although, the law enforcement doesn’t realize that they should worry more on drug trafficking, even though crossing the border is violating the law as well. Many Americans see Mexican immigrants as good or bad today. With the sources, I will be implying facts of pros and cons of illegal immigrants. It will include how Americans feel about illegal immigrants and if our law system is weak enough to let people come cross the border that easy throughout the years. Also, I will persuade readers into solving the issue with illegal immigrants by educating them. Why take them out, when most immigrants

oreigners, refugees, migrants, immigrants, and the government has been causing trouble for the U.S borders. The government should just get this problem over with. Create a complicated security system and select the people who are allowed to pass. It’s just as simple as creating a problem but only to have one person to solve that single problem. Instinctively, the president should think about the problems with the borders and solve all of it soon.

Every candidate has been asked and given their standpoint on how to “fix” this problem, a few of the ideas mentioned are impractical while some might just work. For example, it has been mentioned more than once by more than one time on the republican side that the candidates will “build a wall… [and] make Mexico pay for it”. This idea is not only ridiculous, and unrealistic, it has also been said by the Mexican government that they will in fact not pay for such a thing. There is a construction running along most of the border currently, yet we are currently having this problem. In fact, recently a video has been found of two Mexican citizens climbing the current fence, and once being discovered forced to climb back over. Which they did in under twenty seconds. Building this wall will just cause the citizens to become more creative in their attempts to cross the border. It has been said that “building a thirty foot wall will only create a market for thirty one foot ladders,” and this is true. These citizens will not be stopped because there is a wall in front of them. Not even drug trafficking will be stopped by this, as there have been many accounts of people using slingshots, a good throw, and even a cannon to launch goods over the
