Benefits Of Unocumented Immigrants

Many Americans have been lead to believe that “illegal aliens” are dangerous and a threat to society; however the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI data indicates that “between 1990 and 2013 the undocumented immigrants population tripled while the violent crime rate declined 48 percent—which included falling rates of aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and murder. Likewise, the property crime rate fell 41 percent, including declining rates of motor vehicle theft, larceny/robbery, and burglary” (Ewing, Martinez, Rumbaut). Despite the overwhelming negative press that’s heard on the news and from President Donald Trump the facts show that undocumented people are not dangerous criminals, but actually decreased the amount of crime.

Having food on the table, a roof over your head, and a job to make ends meet. It is a basic human right. We live in a global era where all people need one another to survive and succeed. Immigrants bring diversity to the United States, along with their cultures, and skills, which help make us stronger as a nation. Without diversity in our society, we would be self-centered, which means we need immigrants.

Immigration Immigration has been an ongoing issue for many in the United States, particularly illegal immigration. Immigration is defined as the act of moving from a country you were born in to another country you were not born in. Legal immigrants are in the country legally, and are documented, meaning that they can work and live in America. Illegal immigrants are undocumented immigrants.

There’s fear of going to jail, but there is also fear of being deported and never being able to come to the USA. But why is that? It is true because many people want to support their family, give them a good future or even sometimes the children want a better future for themselves and help their parents into a better house and city. Not many people can get an opportunity like that, because immigration laws are too strict.

For many years, unauthorized immigrants have migrated to the United States looking for a better future for their families. Many immigrants bring their children to this journey looking for a better quality of life, but what they don 't know is that their kids are going to face many challenges like discrimination, not belonging, health issues and most important being undocumented. In the article “I Didn’t Ask to Come to This Country... I Was a Child: The Mental Health Implications of Growing Up Undocumented” written by Jeanne-Marie R. Stacciarini in the Journal of Immigrant &Minority Health. Stacciarini holds a Ph.D. and an RN in nursing and mental health and is well-known for publishing investigations on minority health.

Illegal Immigrants live their everyday life in a way that seems normal, but inside they’re terrified, as they are not sure if their lives are going to be the same tomorrow. They might lose their jobs, their house, and even have to leave their families. Hundreds of illegal immigrants are being deported everyday. Most don’t have an option, and many people don’t think about whether it is important or not. But as a matter of fact it’s so important, it may even affect everyday life around us.

Why I think Immigration Should Be Allowed Consider the following thought experiment: Moved by the plight of desperate earthquake victims, you volunteer to work as a relief worker in Haiti. After two weeks, you’re ready to go home. Unfortunately, when you arrive at the airport, custom officials tell you that you’re forbidden to enter the United States. You go to the American consulate to demand an explanation. But the official response is simple, “The United States does not have to explain itself to you.”

Immigration began when the Civil Rights movement was growing, and people wanted to enter the US. Congress created the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, which is when the US population increased dramatically with the new immigrants. “Between 1965 and 2000, the highest number of immigrants (4.3 million) to the U.S. came from Mexico, in addition to some 1.4 million from the Philippines” (US Immigration par. 6). The Act created two new amnesty programs for unauthorized aliens and granted amnesty to the majority of the illegal immigrants. Amnesty also provided the admissions of immigrants from a variety of countries to increase the diversity of the immigrant flow.

Immigrants work hard in the jobs that they do. They receive jobs because they are qualified for them. They can not take jobs away from Americans if the jobs are given to them. Some work difficult jobs and do things that most people do not enjoy doing. It is like taking the scraps or leftovers that people do not want.

Have you ever thought about why illegal immigrants are crossing the border, or crossed the border? In this passage we will be talking about why, we think that America should open the border to illegal immigrants for these three reasons. They had an extremely poor living area where they were. They could barely feed their family, and they couldn’t get jobs for money. They must have a reason for coming here and they are probably tired of the conditions they were living in.
