The United States Should Deport Illegal Immigration

Immigrants have broken the law by living in the US; immigrants should be allowed to stay because reflects several goals, such as, it serves to reunite several families by admitting members of the family from foreign countries, labor shortage, US. will admit ones with a talent to refill positions in occupations, it provides a shelter for those that face the chance of political or spiritual ill-treatment from their own country and property individuals from foreign countries immigrate to US. to become a lot of various nation. Illegal immigration has been a problem for the United States for a long time. According to the Why don’t they article; these phenomena are not new and thousands of illegal immigrants have come into US through many other ways. Some people have entered the country legally through a visit visa, but then have stayed illegally and are working in various places. Illegal immigration is a double-edged sword, it provides the local economy with cost benefits as the illegal immigrants are not paid so much, while they are more productive. On the other hand, these illegal immigrants do not pay taxes and their employers also do not pay their taxes (“Why don’t they”).

Since the immigrants came to the country, job employment has gone down and the Americans interpret that in a bad way because they think that the immigrants are taking away opportunities from them. Although job employment has gone down, that doesn't mean that it's ruining the chances Americans have to work, “We found little to no negative effect on overall wages and employment of native workers in the long term” (Preston). SInce immigrants are working so much, they create their own businesses. By creating their own company, they provide work for the Americans. It gives Americans another chance to find a job, “High skilled immigrants, especially in technology and science, who have come in larger numbers in recent years, had a significant “positive impact” on Americans with skills” (Preston). Immigrants give Americans the opportunity to find another job. If the immigrants were taking their jobs away, they wouldn't be hiring them to start out with. Americans are being payed full price and fairly, the immigrants are not favoring foreigners. Immigrants are more optimistic on taking on jobs that the Americans didn't

United States the land of the free, that is until illegal immigrants come to the United States

A common biased opinion on immigration is that immigrants coming to the United States are taking American jobs. According to the Immigration Policy Center, “research indicates there is little connection between immigrant labor and unemployment rates of native-born workers.” The jobs that immigrants are taking are the low-budget jobs that Americans do not want. They not only get less pay, but also less benefits in comparison to American workers. In fact, according to Forbes, “illegal immigrants actually raise wages for documented/native workers.” America is considered to be more productive when we have more trading partners, Undocumented workers with limited English skills allows more American workers

“Wal-Mart had an outside cleaning company that had hired illegal immigrants that would sweep their stores and perform other cleaning activities for the night shift” ("Illegal Immigration Facts & Statistics”). Since legal immigrants are taking citizens’ jobs, the unemployment rate is higher for U.S. born citizens rather than immigrants. "There are approximately 7.7 million illegal aliens employed in U.S. jobs in 2008" ("Illegal Immigration Facts & Statistics”). One reason why non-citizens of the U.S. are working is because many employers consider them to be cheap labor which saves the employers money. An example of cheap labor I experienced was while working at a pizza restaurant. The owner of the restaurant liked to hire sixteen or seventeen-year old Mexicans that he would make work every day except Sunday from ten in the morning until nine at night. I know that the Mexicans were being paid only one-hundred dollars a week for working sixty-six hours. When I quit the restaurant, he only had one Mexican and one Venezuelan working for him as cheap laborers. Like him, self-owned managers prefer immigrants over American citizens because that saves them money. Having an effective border patrol not only gives more jobs to American citizens, but it also helps to keep illegal immigrants out of the country.

Contrary to what Americans believe, immigrants are not taking jobs away from Americans. In Immigration News: New Study Declares Immigration to be a Plus, it states that "Immigration benefits the American economy and overall and has little negative effect on the income and job opportunities of most native-born U.S. citizens." When you look at shops or restaurants in California, Texas, or New York, who do you notice that's running most of those shops and restaurants? Immigrants, whether they're Mexican, Asian, or Natives. Instead of taking away jobs, they create jobs by opening businesses. They spend their income on American goods, and pay taxes; this

Currently, one of most debated policy issues in America is immigration. Starting with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the American government created several immigration laws that sought to put an end to illegal immigration by mandating workplace regulations, employer sanctions, internal enforcement mechanisms, and border security (Nowrasteh 2). According to immigration policy analyst Alexander Nowrasteh at the Center of Global Liberty and Prosperity of the Cato Institute, by the 1990s, legal immigration was essentially impossible to the United States unless the immigrant was highly skilled, had a close American citizen or legal permanent resident relative or friend who could sponsor him or her, or was a refugee. The Arizona immigration laws should be repealed due to damage done to the state’s economy, the benefits of immigrants to the American economic structure, and the societal harm imposed upon citizens.

Contrary to what most Americans believe, illegal immigrants are not causing our economy to weaken, in fact, they are causing just the opposite. Immigration enforcement has increased greatly in the past few years and undocumented immigrant workers are being deported much more frequently. America refuses to recognize the positive impact these illegal workers have on our economy. Without the surplus of illegal immigrant workers in the U.S. our country’s economy would suffer greatly. Illegal immigrant workers help our economy flourish and they positively influence the American workforce.

There has been a long standing debate that Immigrants are taking jobs away from the American people. Immigrants do not have to pay taxes, they get all the overtime and send all their money home instead of boosting our economy. These are some of the misconceptions that are backing the theory that immigrants are taking our jobs. The most astonishing amount of people being affected by immigration includes the poor, and uneducated; as well as the need to fix an immigration system, that is weak.

Point: Many illegal immigrants have kids who are U.S. citizens and deportation would tear these families apart. This would result in more single parent or no parent households. The psychological and financial hardship would force their U.S. citizen children into deportation with their family. These American children may have to start over in a country with an unfamiliar language, culture, and fewer resources.

The US labor force would not survive if it was not for illegal immigrants. If there were no illegal immigrants our labor force would decrease by four percent (Isidore 5). “We could not have grown as much as we did in the 1990s if we did not have immigrants… our growth would have been slower (Isidore 5).” Having illegal immigrants in our labor force increases the amount of resources we have, which increases the amount of production in the country. “Some economists discuss that not only do U.S. consumers benefit from lower prices as an outcome of the low wages most immigrants are paid, but that the convenience of lower-wage labor helps create more work for higher-skilled, higher-paid workers who are generally born in the US (Isidore 14).” Illegal immigrants are opening up higher wage jobs, because they take over the lower wage jobs. Many immigrants take jobs in the field of construction, agriculture

A specific debate regarding the impacts illegal immigration has on the U.S. is whether illegal immigrants take American jobs, or not. One would argue that they do not take American jobs with the reasoning that they occupy jobs that do not require skill, and has a low pay making them jobs that Americans do not want, therefore it does not increase the labor market competition, but actually complements it. Businesses have shown to be more exceeding when there are multiple employees

A debate that always seems to raise its ugly head when the issue of "foreign labor" is discussed concerns the types of jobs that immigrants take and whether they are actually taking these jobs away from American workers. I look at it as jobs they are "left with", not ones they are taking. The debate always shows an American family that has been displaced or lost their livelihood because they can no longer compete with cheaper labor. In reality the jobs that the immigrants get are the most undesirable, strenuous and dangerous ones. The only American workers that they compete with are the unskilled ones. I intend to explore if immigrants "taking" American jobs, if they are only taking the jobs that

Many Americans believe the nation has lost control of its boundaries. Concerned if immigration continues, the U.S. economy will suffer, and that employment will be scarce. Immigrants are flooding the welfare rolls and are heavily involved in crime. (Morganthau 18). The increase number of U.S. immigrants does affect the number of jobs available. The problem is, immigrants are either highly qualified (take American jobs) or are less than skilled in any field (increase welfare). The view on immigration today is one of a drag on the economy, instead of a lift (18).

Illegal immigration has supplied the work force with what many would consider to be cheap labor work. Cheap labor work is basically where people are working at a lower pay than the average working american. The cheap labor work force has many job slots needing to be filled. These immigrants coming through are the workers who are helping fill these spots. An article talking about immigrant workers in the U.S workforce says, ”The U.S. population is aging as rapidly as the baby boom cohort enters old age and retirement. As a result, the labor force will increasingly depend upon immigrants and their children to replace current workers and fill new jobs.” (Singer). This quote
