The Pros And Cons Of Illegal Immigrants

Illegal Immigrants are people from other countries such as Mexico, Latin Countries, and some countries in Asia (India, China, Philippines, Vietnam, and Korea) (Gibson) that migrate to another country for a better life. Immigrants come to the U.S to be someone, so that they can give their families a good life, and in general they believe that

The United States of America (USA) has been one of the traditional receiving countries of immigrants (Friedberg & Hunt, 1995), and they do not take in too lightly of allowing immigrants violate its law and entering illegally to settle in its country without consequences. To date, millions of people have violated its immigration policies. The USA is also the economic leader of the world. It has been the notion that illegal immigrants are devouring up the US economy and for that reason they should be ousted. However, illegal immigrations have rooted into society since far back in history, and realized now, it is that illegal immigrants are not damaging the US economy; they contribute to it and their services costs

The authors argue that when the nation uses the word “illegal immigrant”, the nation is framing immigrants as criminals. The authors begin by stating that the word illegal is a strong and unfair word because the people who are associated with the word illegal are criminals. This implies and frames all immigrants as criminals. Aside from this implication, the authors also demonstrate that the word illegal is unfair by placing the word illegal on other types of people. One example is that if a driver who got a speeding ticket were to be referred to as an “illegal driver” then that would be an extreme title just for a person who committed a minor offense (20). Another example is that if a businessman who didn’t pay his taxes on time were to be referred to as an “illegal businessmen” that would also be an extreme title just for a person who committed a minor offense (20). With these examples the authors make it clear why it is unfair for the nation to

Undocumented immigrants are foreign nationals who entered the United States without authorization or entered legally but remained in the United States without authorization. However, undocumented youth and students usually have no role in the decision to come to this country. They are usually brought to this country by their parents or relatives, generally due to economic hardship and they have spent more years in the United States than in their country of birth. (Baum, Flores, 2011) Over the years, undocumented immigration has grown tremendously in the United States. “Among the nearly 12 million undocumented immigrants, a

Undocumented immigrants often elicit the images of Mexican immigrants illegally crossing the border by car or by foot. Many Americans may also think of the soccer field immigrants at the border of Tijuana and San Diego, or the immigrants running away from the drug lords. While majority of undocumented immigrants in California are from Mexico, there are a number of other countries that have immigrants finding refuge in America that reside in all states. Undocumented immigrants are a wide group that may encompass the following people groups: asylum-seeking refugees, migrants from war torn countries that are not under a refugee status, and those that arrive at our borders hoping for a better life in America than in their home country. While

The subject of illegal immigration coupled with the concern of the growing number of illegal immigrants in the United States has been a long standing national debate. A single finite definition of the term “illegal immigrant” has proven difficult to specify. For the purposes of this paper, I will use the term “undocumented immigrant” defined as an individual who has “entered the United States illegally or violated the terms of their residency status” (Chan, Scott, Krishel, Bramwell, and Clark, 2006).

Undocumented immigrants refer to “people who presently possess no proof of any right to be present in the United States, whether or not they have been declared deportable by the US government (and the vast majority have not)” (Lyon, 2004, p581). According to the United States Census Bureau there are approximately eight to eleven million undocumented immigrants residing in the United States (Porter, 2006). Each year, approximately 500,000 more arrive without legal documentation. The number of undocumented immigrants now exceeds the number of documented immigrant arrivals. The majority of the undocumented immigrants arrive from Mexico (57 to 70%) and Latin America (23 to 24%), with a smaller number from Europe and Canada (5 to 6 %

Illegal immigrants are a variety of people with a goal to accomplish higher quality living and expand their resources to better enable their lives. They face many struggles on trying to reach their goals while many accomplish it, there

In spite of all the illegal actions, illegals are hard working race. Pursuing a better life for their families in the states; Unlike other citizens of the U.S. settling on welfare money. In this case the

Illegal immigrant or illegal alien can be defined as a foreigner who enters the U.S. 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. The term illegal and alien can be seen as prejudices and many view the word as inappropriate to describe a population of people and human beings. So, for the purpose of this essay I feel that a better word to define illegal immigrants is the term unauthorized immigrants. Now, the debate for what the United States should do about immigration has brought support from both extremes. Such as “deport them all” and “legalization for all”. When deciding what our country should do we need to take in consideration the moral, economic, legal, and social aspects that any reform

immigrants are a threat to American citizens. On the other hand, even though there is no one who

A man, marked with the scars of a long dangerous journey. Hot, bleak, and empty, the dry air and glaring lack of life created a tangible sense of doom. Risking it all for his family, leaving his country, crossing the border. This man has created a new life, he is now an alien in the land of freedom and prosperity. An illegal immigrant is defined as anyone who moves to a country with intent on living there, without any form of identification. Illegal immigration comes into play when people do not follow the guidelines during the immigration process. Today there are many issues that surround immigration: reformation of the system, amnesty, and the over effects. This raises the question, just how do undocumented immigrants affect the US, politically, socially, and economically?

The United States is a country affected by illegal immigration. The term illegal aliens or what is most commonly known as illegal immigrants, the word alien is simply a person who comes from a foreign country. A much more accurate expression for these groups of individuals is the term illegal alien. The term illegal alien is a much more precise term because it deals with both undocumented aliens as well as nonimmigrant visa overstayers. Both terms illegal alien as well as illegal immigrant are used to describe individuals who have broken the law of our country to enter and work illegally. The majority of the immigrants who come to this country illegally are in search of the

Illegal immigration is the act of a foreigner staying in the U.S. without a valid visa or authorization from the country to live in their land. People commit illegal immigration when overstaying a visa once it has expired, crossing the border from neighboring countries, and forging documents to make someone appear to have citizenship. Illegal immigrants are known by multiple labels like, day-crosser, undocumented immigrant, and illegal aliens. There is an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States without citizenship half of which are Mexican. Of these undocumented citizens, about 8 million are working jobs. The Majority of the undocumented immigrants living in the United States live in sanctuary cities.
