The Rights Of Illegal Immigration

Immigration has been a struggle for the United States for many years and when the topic is brought out about illegal immigration, the question may be who illegal immigrants are. People who are illegal immigration are the ones who do not apply for citizenship, do not obey the laws when granted citizenship, or sneak into the country without permission. I believe that if we, as a country, were to enforce these laws then we would have a better control on the issue. People who enter this country to find jobs or to find better life styles for them and their families is why most people enter this country illegal. I believe that the country should enforce laws for all fifty states that will help the problem. Such as this one,

From an economic aspect, immigration is somewhat beneficial since it increases the US work force and it’s economy. According to Camarota Steven on his testimony’’ Immigration and the US economy’’, immigration overall increases the economy of the US due to the fact that more workers and more people mean bigger GDP. He also pointed out that the impact of immigration of the seize of the economy is not a measure of the benefits of natives. That means that regardless of the benefits of natives, Immigration is a tool to increase the economy of the US. On the other hand, it can be detrimental to the US economy. In fact most of the immigrants work “under the table” which make the fiscal

It has been said that Immigration damage the economy. This is not true because foreigners help American economy to prosper. Immigration increases purchasing, and increases demand for labor. Immigration not only takes jobs, but also creates them. For instance, a man comes to America from Italy; this man opens a small Italian restaurant, this restaurant becomes prosper during the years. Five years later, this Italian man owns two more restaurants and employs twenty Americans. Similar stories, which help our economy, have happened from the beginning of the immigration times.

The debate of who should be allowed to enter the United States has been an issue for many years, with the large number of people entering and living here illegally this has become a significant talking point amongst the candidates in this presidential election. But are their views something that should be shared and supported by Christians today? There are definitely two opposing views from Christians on this topic. I will present both views regarding illegal immigrants in the United States and then I will present my own opinion on this topic.

Illegal immigrants have always been a problem in the United States for some time now. “In October 2008, the illegal immigrant population stood at 11.9 million according to the Pew Hispanic Center” ("Illegal Immigration Facts & Statistics”). An efficient border patrol in our country would be a good step in the right direction to stop illegal immigration and the effect it has on our country. Illegal immigrants are at fault for such things as smuggling drugs into the country, which increases crime rate. Illegal immigrants also deprive U.S. citizens’ from the lower and middle class of jobs. America will also lose money on taxes and schools lose funds in most public systems

Illegal immigration into the United States has caused America's population to grow, but has also kept jobs from Americans and has ultimately been a negative since illegal immigration into the United States is undermining our federal government. Immigration began in the 1920's and the number of illegal immigrants into the U.S. has quickly escalated in the past 96 years. Even after Ronald Reagan put restrictions on the border to prevent illegals from coming in, illegal immigrants continue to come to America. Illegal immigration is a huge problem for the U.S. that needs to be solved, it can be solved with more restrictive laws that prevent immigrants from coming to the States illegally. Illegal immigration into the U.S. has been a problem for over 90 years, but there are ways and laws that would prevent as many illegal immigrants.

Many people believe that immigrants do not provide us with any beneficial effects to our country. This is not the case at all. At one point all of the current Americans that reside in the United States today had ancestors that traveled from another country or countries to the United States of America, thus making us all decedents of immigrants. Immigration helps boost up the economy, not hurt it, for the most part. Illegal immigrants take jobs that have lower pay and horrible hours. They also tend not to file for tax returns or claim their Social Security money (Aquino 2016). Illegal immigrants do not claim social security or file for taxes in order to prevent themselves from being found out and deported back

In the past immigration laws and immigration itself has had some flaws but really is a good thing for the U.S. First off the agriculture rise that has happened over the years. Immigrants help the agricultural rise because most immigrants when they migrate look only towards the agriculture work which includes field work and stock animal work. These immigrants are needed for our everyday agricultural needs. According to (Ed Studdord) if all Illegal immigrants were to go back tomorrow to wherever they came from everything we know that is agriculture will collapse instantly. The biggest pro of immigration in history is the low wage workers. These low wage workers in the past till now have helped balance the economy a lil more. Now 52 of every 100 migrant workers have illegal status and yet they are hardworking.

As the number of illegal immigrants entering the United States begins to increase once more, the issue of allowing or prohibiting immigrants to gain temporary status in order to obtain work continues to create national problems. According to a report given by the Department of Homeland Security, it is estimated that the number of immigrants entering the U.S. is at about 1.1 million people per year. (Hanson Par. 1) These individuals come into the United States in search of better living conditions and opportunities. However, these immigrants face challenges when it comes to work and other types of living.

One major contemporary movement that is very near and dear to my heart is the fight for the rights of undocumented immigrants. Many of the people in my life entered this country illegally, and there are many people in my life who are still undocumented. It baffles my might how much prejudice is expressed towards immigrants especially since we are a nation that is founded my immigrants. It is by pure luck that anyone is born as citizen of the United States and those who were lucky enough to be born in the United States are oppressing those who are fighting to come to this country in search of a better life. While examining the movement the concept that is most clear to see at play is intersectionality. The stereotypical immigrant is one who

Imagine a world without pizza...because no one ever brought that idea over. Or imagine not being able to play soccer with your friends…because none of them have ever heard of it. Or even imagine a world where everyone looks the same, talks the same, and acts the same. Immigration has a positive effect on America because immigrants strengthen the economy, create jobs, and increase cultural diversity.

In modern day America there seems to be an advocate group for anything and everything you could possibly think of. From Amnesty International all the way through to The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. Without the support and tireless action of advocate groups, many voiceless people would (and sometimes do) fall through the cracks in the system, or are outrightly abused and accept it because they think no one cares about them.

For ages, the United States has seemed to be the country where people seek to move to for a better life. The United States was built on immigrants. People have always migrated to the United States both legally and illegally. The main problem the country has face with immigrants is the amount that trespass the border illegally. Illegal immigration is the unlawful act of crossing a national border(Illegal Immigration Pros and Cons). The illegal immigrant population keeps growing at an annual average of about 300,000 people(Currie 10). In the recent year of 2014, there were about 11.3 million undocumented people living in the United States(Krogstad). Many have asked what harm they do to both the economy and the American citizen. Although there are many arguments as to how much harm they cause, there are as many arguments stating illegal immigration benefits the United States. Illegal immigration has a positive impact in the United States within the consumers, the working class, and the overall economy.

Immigration is often good for the migrants themselves, but is not good for the government. The number of illegal immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, and other parts of Latin America grows immensely. Some immigrants don’t even have a better life in the states. America is not as glamourous as it might seem to Latin Americans. However, I find immigration to be good and bad for the citizens and government of the United States. We need the immigrants to do many of our low income “blue collar” work. However, most of the immigrants end up living in poverty and absorb tons of money from the government in order to stay afloat.

Illegal immigration has lots of disadvantages but has equally good advantages that countries like America support immigration and makes illegal residents legalized. Many of these countries are allowing people to cross their borders but also at the same time trying to keep evil as terrorists at check to support a stable and safe society. Nadadur points out to some benefits in "Illegal Immigration: A Positive Economic Contribution to the United States" which are, immigrants pay taxes for the children who are born in the country and making them legal would impact positively on countries economic growth and because of this reason, illegal immigration has become a major problem for political parties in developed country and are working towards an agenda to make the rules around immigration better.
