The Benefits Of Illegal Immigrants

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.

The crisis in the drug war has intensified over the past decade and has left many families torn and separated, many of the jails are overloaded from many drug convicts, and lately has increased five-hundred percent over the past year. Although the Des Moines... Register used pathos, logos, and labeling to describe the current drug war, there are not enough rhetorical appeals to do justice to the horror of drug trafficking. Hence millions of Americans have been incarcerated due to the effects of drug trafficking that has been brought over by the migrants, who’ve been forced to traffic the drugs in order to let their families survive, This is often the reality for many of the evicted migrants, and hooked drug addicts that are arrested when caught

values, talents, and contributions of immigrants. People from all over the world seek the United States for just one honest reason, a better life and future. Most of the immigrant families and their children come from Mexico, Central and South America, and even Asia. These people enter the United States via one of three modes of entry, legal immigration, illegal entry, and as refugees. Because of their legal status, many immigrants are illegible to receive any type of public services such as healthcare and public education. This is something that has been going on for years, and many Americans feel that it is a fair thing to do. By actually providing illegal immigrants to have access to public services the United States could benefit a lot from it, starting with a healthier and safer environment, also, having access to public education will help the economy in the long run, and lastly, after obtaining a college degree, it is extremely possible for them to get a good paying job.

Tougher sentencing is not likely to reduce illegal drug use or serious crime associated with drugs (Alexander, 2010; Mauer, 2009; Whitford & Yates, 2009). Despite that, politicians and law enforcement personnel continue to advocate for stronger sentences for those who take or sell drugs of any kind. The jails and prisons across the United States are filling up with drug offenders, and some believe that there are better uses for those jail cells and that there are many crimes that are more severe and significant. These are the crimes that should be provided with tougher sentencing guidelines, but yet illegal drug use is still a serious crime and should not go unpunished. What should be done, and how should changes be made? Those are tough questions that have to be explored and that do not have any easy answers for those who make the laws and those who enforce them. Drug incarceration has been on the rise, with mixed results. According to King (2008), "overall, between 1980 and 2003, the number of drug offenders in prison or jail increased by 1100% from 41,100 in 1980 to 493,800 in 2003, with a remarkable rise in arrests concentrated in African American communities."

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.

June 2012 was a year with a huge break through on illegal immigration, and the fight to set the decision right. Opportunities to improve immigrants careers, schooling, and lives, who were born in the United States and plan on staying are on the rise. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was created to provide immigrants with an opportunity to stay in the States “legally,” but continue their lives through education if graduating from an U.S. high school, going to college, serving in the armed forces, and eventually gain citizenship in the United States. Many U.S. citizen have many thoughts and views on illegal immigrants and immigration in general, and the pros and cons to having DACA support illegal immigrants to stay in the country. There is a huge decision in process currently in 2017 that is putting DACA in risk from being a Federal Program that would end up effecting many immigrants. Threatening deportation and the possibility of losing everything that DREAMers have worked up to and for and are continuing to work towards is at a huge risk of just being thrown away. Keeping DACA and protecting the DREAMers is important because mentally and physically they are just as much of a U.S. citizen as anyone else born in the U.S.

Oscar Cabrera Dr.Meisel English 110 May 3, 2018 Immigration Today, there are about 11.7 million immigrants living in the US illegally, and that number has been at a steady incline over the years. As a desperate escape from their harsh realities at home, many go the illegal route due to our lengthy and expensive citizenship process. Illegal immigrants come to America for numerous reasons, and impact Americans in many ways. The fact that people become illegal immigrants by breaking the law has led some to insist that all illegal immigrants are criminals and should not have rights of any sort but; rather, they should be deported as soon as their legal status is detected.

Immigration today plays a big part in today’s society, it’s not how it use to be, its more brodder and has taken a toll on today’s economy. Some people may say it affect us and some people might not. Today immigrants make up approximately 13% of total US population, there is certainly a lot of anecdotal evidence and some systematic evidence that immigrants are seen as better workers, by some employers, especially in comparison to native born African Americans. Immigrants also show their high concentration in jobs that require relatively few skills. Undocumented immigrants benefit our economy because they create more jobs, they build our future, and they work for cheaper labor.

not only benefits the U.S., but it benefits the immigrants themselves. In continuation, Davidson states that over the years, “undocumented workers have contributed up to $300 billion, or nearly 10%, of the $2.7 trillion Social Security Trust Fund.” Just these numbers alone show how much immigrants are contributing to the U.S. To support this conclusion, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) concludes that immigrants contribute more in taxes and social contributions than they actually receive in benefits. (OECD 2014) In other findings by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), undocumented immigrants contribute in state and local taxes. ITEP estimates $11.74 billion are collect per year and, shockingly,

In Texas June 5, 2015, A Salvadoran, Mauricio Hernandez, was sentenced to 50 years in prison and faces deportation after his term for raping his own baby (Immigration Issues 2015, Par. 3). Three illegal Immigrants, Uriel Ramirez-Perez, Darwin Zuniga-Rocha, and Eliseo Mateo Perez, were sentenced to time served in jail and deportation after prison term for first-degree sexual abuse (Immigration Issues 2015, Par.10). What do these two incidence have in common; they were here in this country illegally. With the number of Central Americans crossing over the border illegally the crime rate as reflected in this occurrence. However, these crimes are not a representative of all illegal Immigrants but the numbers and crimes reveals otherwise. Since President Ronald Reagan signed a sweeping immigration bill into law in 1986 (Kirkwood, Par.1). It gave an incentive for others to come to America illegally and the U.S. failing to regain control of the borders since then (Kirkwood, Par.11). Due to this bill, that provided amnesty to approximately 3 million illegal immigrants (Kirkwood, P.12). In which allowed an influx of daily illegal entry into the U.S. with laws that allowed them to be deported due crimes committed while in the America. Illegal Immigrants should not be allowed amnesty because of drugs, the increase of crime and poverty.

Illegal immigration has almost always been a part of the United States. There seems to be a neverending amount of people who believe in the “land of opportunity”, the home of the free and the brave. However, it seems that some may be more opportune than others. Illegal immigrants come to America with hopes and dreams of living a better lifestyle than the one that they currently possess. Currently, the American citizenship process is antiquated and not suited to fit a modern United States of America. Consequently, due to several constraints within the system, many are unable to achieve their dreams legally, and are treated like common crooks. Although many believe that illegal immigrants are criminals who should be deported, undocumented immigrants are victims of a broken system and are crucial to the sustainability of the modern-day American economy.

Since 2012, an estimated 11.7 million unauthorized immigrants were living in the United States (Donnelly, 2015). Most people migrate to America because they view America as the land of opportunities, the land that presents immigrants with life options they may not have back in their countries. They choose to come to America to escape poverty or oppression, for employment opportunities, and to make better lives for themselves and their families. But in the course of this, some federal laws are broken when they overstay their welcome. The question being asked today is; should unauthorized immigrants in the United States be allowed to apply for citizenship eventually? This controversial issue has generated different opinions across the states. Some Americans say undocumented immigrants should be deported because they are a burden to the nation. However, if these illegal immigrants are allowed to have some kind of legal status, it will help boost the US economy and keep families together.

Since the drug problem appears to be affecting communities and including the children of immigrants. The Obama Administration’s inaugural National Drug Control Strategy, published in 2001, charted a new course in in efforts to reduce illicit drug use and its consequences in the United States-an approach that rejects the false choice between an enforcement-centric “war on drugs” and drug legalization (The White House , 2014). Part of the policy includes to prevent drug abuse through education, to reform the criminal justice system, and to open rehabilitative programs for drug abusers. Furthermore, the Federal Government has spent more than $31 million on drug control (The White House , 2014). These amount has benefited those who have been drug abused and prevented drug traffickers from crossing the border.

Many immigrants come here and participate in drug activity, human trafficking, prostitution, car theft, aggravated assault, the list could go on.( source 3) This is outrageous. With the illegal immigrants being part of drug cartels and smuggling drugs, it makes drugs available almost anywhere at any time. While it is not the immigrant’s fault that Americans buy the drugs it still would be less available if they weren’t smuggling the drugs into this country.

Drug trafficking has been an ongoing epidemic in the United States, as well us other countries for an unimaginable amount of time. Illegal drugs varying from heroin and cocaine are primarily the main drugs that get smuggled in the United States from South America. Even marijuana and methamphetamine have been popular in the drug smuggling “industry”. These gangs go to a variety of different extents to get the job done. Drug trafficking increases the violence levels These drugs have been smuggled through the Southwest Border since the 1970s and are attempting to expand the distribution of those drugs into eastern U.S. markets. The countries of drug production have been seen as the worst affected by prohibition. In many countries worldwide, the illegal drug trafficking can be directly linked to high violent crimes. This is especially true in third world countries, but has still been seen as an issue for many developed countries all over the world. Drug trafficking increases the risk of violence and crime due rise of addiction along with an increase of death. It also effects the along with correctional system effects.to its high costs, Nearly all of the heroin produced in Mexico is destined for distribution in the United States. Organized crime groups operating from Mexico produce, smuggle, and distribute various illegal drugs after trafficking them across the US border. Trafficking groups that operate from Mexico tend to avoid penalties by their stealthy methods of smuggling
