The Pros And Cons Of Illegal Immigration

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 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

“A nation penetrated every year by some 300,000 illegal aliens…is not a nation experiencing ‘immigration.’ It is a nation experiencing invasion.” (Haerens 109). For centuries, our nation has been a safe haven for people of different cultures and nationalities to inhabit. Since the beginning of America as we know it, our society has been considered a “melting pot” for all ethical backgrounds. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, Europeans flocked to the “New World” in hopes of a more prosperous life. Since then, immigration to the United States has exponentially increased.

Immigration has been a burning issue lately, particularly after Donald Trump’s immigration ban in the United States of America. It has been a topic that families discuss every morning with breakfast. Despite many concerns related to immigration, it has several positive benefits that mostly outweighs the negativity. People bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration. Many immigrants in the United States are good workers who don't depend upon any public welfare and mostly help in the overall development of the economy. As a country made by immigrants, we must not forget the fact that immigrants have helped to build cities and create a path of development form Google to iPhones (Gray & Furman, 2012). These facts are secluded, and some related arguments with different content have been repeated for years and continue. Immigrants have a lot to give the United States rather than to take, especially when it comes to economic terms.

Now in days there is a lot of terrifying stuff seen every day. Starting from accidents, tourism attacks, and shootings. My focus is Hispanic immigration and borders. There's probably not one day that there's not something being said about immigration. It is a topic that is very controversial and many people disagree or agree on it. Immigration is when people go to live permanently in a foreign country. Lots of people don't really realize the reasons in which hispanics move to a foreign country. Hispanics leave to accomplish their American dream for themselves and their family.

Illegal immigrants should be given the right to benefits in the U.S. Illegal immigrants are willing to take all kinds of jobs that Americans don't want. According to Green Garage Blog “When it comes to doing household chores, cleaning, feeding the pets and taking care of an adult in need of care and attention, an illegal immigrant can take on these types of jobs. And knowing how busy working Americans are, it helps to get support from someone”(10 Critical Pros and Cons of Illegal immigration). Illegal immigrants can start working in the U.S doing jobs that Americans don’t want like the ones stated above. This could be the gateway to helping them get a pension, retirement plan, and a 401k. Most illegal immigrants have been in the U.S for a while

Immigration is a hot button topic today and so many people have different opinions about it, but who oversees its laws? Our government is split into three main branches, Legislative, Executive and Judicial. Every branch contributes in a different way to have a law in action. The Legislative branch, which contributes to the first step of making any law, consists of the house of representatives and the senate, which together form the United States Congress which have the supreme authority to enact legislation, the privilege to confirm or reject many presidential appointments, and massive investigative powers (“The Legislative Branch”, 2017). The Executive branch, contributes to enforcing the laws and it mainly involves the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet (“The Executive Branch”, 2017). The Judicial branch, puts the final touches on the law and polishes it. It consists of the United States Supreme Court and lower federal courts. The Supreme Court's primary function is to hear cases that challenge the constitutionality of legislation or require interpretation of that legislation ("The Judicial Branch", 2017). Immigration laws are made within the Legislative branch, carried out by the Executive branch, and evaluated by the Judicial

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.

Assimilation doesn’t just help for safety. Assimilation is part of economic growth. From the article, “The next immigration challenge” by Dowell Meyer, “people and children are crucial to the economy of many countries”. When people assimilate, the result is

Undocumented immigrant is that he or she is a foreign-born person who doesn't have a legal right to be or remain in the United States. Some of the immigrants were brought to America when they were kids and this is the only country they have known. In the real sense they are Americans but without regal status America has been known to be a refuge immigrants, many have come to America and succeeded in life some even creating multibillion business entities. In my opinion, there should be a way to give them regal status as there are a large group of them who have no connection with their country of origin.

Whether to grant illegal immigrants full amnesty or not is a very controversial and important question in today's society. As David Decrosse explains, amnesty means, “lifting a penalty associated with an entire class of people who have violated a law.” Some people might think that American authority deporting illegal immigrants with little repercussions is amnesty, but full amnesty would mean letting the immigrants stay in America and have a regulated job. If amnesty is granted the economy would benefit, it is morally right, and it would not hurt the society in any way.

In the United States of America, for most regions the dominate religion is Christianity. Christian values of generosity, equality, and respect may come off as stable and universally accepted for improving human life. However, there is misconception to this thinking with these values it means Americans hold themselves to a high standard within there group, and lower out groups. In todays administration, President Donald Trump Christian values is influencing his actions against Undocumented Immigrants for the improvement of the citizens of the United States in order to, “Make America Great again”. Toleration of Undocumented Immigrants is a phenomenon that is rooted beyond an understanding, but more from psychological intentions.

　　According to Migration Policy Institute(MPI) immigration is a prominent part of the United States ' DNA. Among different immigrant groups in the United States it is highly uneven, and the size of the unauthorized population continues to be a powerful barrier to social cohesion, full social economic, and political integration. (Jimenez, 2016)

Illegal immigration is a major problem which most of the developed countries face in the current economy, and it has been major political problem for the political parties in America (republicans and democrats) and over years each party has a different agenda to discuss the problem. Illegal immigration can be defined as a movement of people from a source country to the destination country without any legal documents and violates destination countries immigration laws. People have moved across lands over years to escape a war situation or to get better facilities in a different country. Countries have defined immigration laws to restrict people to enter their land without proper documentation as illegal immigration social and time

In his article “Rights and Duties in an Egalitarian Society” he delves into the socialist idea “from each according to his abilities’ suggests that individuals have a moral obligation to use their talents and abilities to contribute to the well being of society” (Carens). Although the article does not directly refer to immigration, these ideas can be directly tied with his views about open borders as necessity; so citizens are capable to fulfill their duties. Much of the article examines contemporary liberal political theory in a way such that rights of a citizen are crucial for a societies development while Carens argues that social duties for the advancement of society are far more substantial. This is intertwined with global immigration policy because while taking part in an egalitarian society, shouldn’t it be the collective citizens responsibility to account for social injustices of immigrants because they can not serve their duty to society entirely by living life in their own
