Illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the U.S.A. and become citizens because they are heavy workers, want a better life and most importantly they contribute to the U.S. economy. Immigrants simply want to obtain an opportunity to live and work in this great country. With all this in mind it is clear that they deserve a path to citizenship.
Countless people say illegal immigrants are damaging the U.S. economy; however, they are contributing immensely by paying their taxes. “Undocumented immigrants contribute significantly to state and local taxes, collectively paying an estimated $11.64 billion a year’’(qtd. in “Is Illegal Immigration An Economic Burden To America?”). The U.S. would lose billions of dollars in taxes if they were to be deported. Not only do they pay their taxes, but they also help raise GDP.(“10 Critical Pros And Cons Of Illegal Immigration” ). The number of immigrants that do not pay their taxes is too limited for it to be considered a burden to our economy. Most of them also do not even receive back their taxes, they just pay them. The cost of deporting all of them would be too immense. There are millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.A., it would be almost impossible to deport every single one of them. The cost of deporting them would be super large and it would almost be a waste of money. People are overlooking all the benefits that illegal immigrants have and are worrying too much about the small number of criminal immigrants
There is an estimate of about 10 million illegal immigrants that are living in the United States. (Erin H. Fouberg, Human Geography) Even though they immigrated here to the US, they shouldn’t be considered as “illegals”. Immigration requires change and sacrifices for many people in order to stay in their homes. There is no wrong if you are considering to make a change in your life.
“At the states and local level alone, Undocumented immigrants nationwide collectively pay an estimated $11.64 Billion each year in taxes, according to a recent report by the institute on taxation and economic policy. …. Many undocumented immigrants also pay state income taxes.” The Immigrants are coming to live in America for a better life, but they aren’t just coming here to live for free they are paying taxes. so why can’t they stay in America to live there dream to do something in life? Immigrants from all over have helped the states and other countries become much better, for their own good and their future.
As a gateway to the United States, New York City has been defined by the generations of immigrants who have made it their home. According to the 2012 American Community Survey, more than 3.1 millions of people are immigrants. Immigrant entrepreneurs have made great impacts on transforming and enhancing the neighbors in New York City. Immigrants met hostilities when they first arrived to United States, they bound geographically, culturally, linguistically and economically. The formulation of Chinatown is an example, Chinese gathered together and did business.
Deporting back these immigrants will cost a lot of money. Donald Trump wants to build a long wall between the United States and Mexico. According to Reuters, a website on the internet, the estimated cost of the wall they are helping the US economy will be up to 21 million dollars. According to the U.S Government debt, the US is already in depth trillions of dollars in depth. It would be pointless too waste that amount of money into this deportation plan.
According to a study released last year by the Pew Hispanic Center, as of 2008, 11.9 million illegal immigrants lived in the United States, more than triple the 3.5 million who lived in the country in 1990 (Izumi). Immigration throughout the years has become a major issue in the U.S because of too many immigrants entering the country year after year. The U.S has come to a point whether they should deport the immigrants back to their country. Believe it or not, these immigrants are a big contribution to the U.S. If it wasn’t for them, the U.S economy wouldn’t be where it stands now.
They come and have american families, they improve the economy, and this country is a country of immigrants so why not let them stay here. One important reason that undocumented residents should be allowed a pathway to citizenship is that many of them have American families, and tearing them apart and splitting them up would cause serious trauma. According to Senator Charles Shumer, writing in an upfront magazine in 2016, trying to deport undocumented residents rather than providing them with a legal
Some believe that illegal immigrants are the source of protecting and occupying our macro and micro economies today, Illegal immigration is taking a greater and greater toll on the American community while federal and state enforcement allows the problem to develop, local government is also at fault when it rewards law-breakers with access to free taxpayer-funded services. There are certain people who may believe that the U.S should provide illegal immigrants with access to some public services such as health care and education, however, it costs more to sustain the amount of people coming in and also leads to more negative situations versus
These illegal immigrants come to the united states they are giving rights that U.S. citizens are receiving. The citizens do not believe that to be right since we are born United states citizens. These rights are based on dignity, fairness, equality, and respect and these immigrants show none of these
To begin with , I know quite an amount of illegals struggling just to get a job to feed their families. And no it's not just Mexicans, there are many more people who are in the same position. I have friends neighbors and even family members that would more than appreciate having a work permit. Okay imagine this, your parents traveled from a whole other country just to get a job and give you a better future than theirs. They then start to adapt to the environment and soon are on the search for a job, rejection soon arises simply because they don't have a social security.
(Raley, How Many Illegal Aliens are in the US?) Some could argue that at least half of the illegal immigrants pay taxes. That is true, but their tax return is greater than what they pay. Many use fraudulent social security numbers to pay taxes and then receive more money in return. Because many immigrants come to America and start off as poor, what they pay in taxes is small.
The 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. pay about 11.64 billion dollars in state and local taxes per year which contributes greatly to helping out the economy. Since in America people are always in need for someone to work, immigrants come and contribute by coming to find and work in jobs,leading to expansion and gaining even more money. This is one of the reasons I strongly believe that illegal immigration should be allowed in America. Another reason I believe illegal immigration should be allowed is because of families. Unauthorized immigrants are often deported leaving one of the most important things they
I think the DREAMERS should get to stay in the United States for many reasons. They
After reading how Americans debated whether immigration should be restricted or not I have seen many different opinions and facts that counter each other. Americans that are on the side of immigration being restricted state that many of the immigrants caused an increase in criminal activity. While others say that there is no evidence to be shown to support this. Another argument that was being made is whether immigration was good or bad for employment. A third argument that was stated was American ideals being diminished.overall
Many Americans have mixed views about citizenship for these people. Illegal immigrants should be granted citizenship based on how the person is doing. If they are causing trouble they don't need to be here. If they are working trying to get a check to provide for their family then why not keep them here. It could also help decrease the amount of debt America is in because of the increased tax returns.
The United States of America, being a country founded by immigrants, is known all over the world as the land of great opportunities. People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family. Over the years, the population of immigrants has grown immensely, resulting in the currently controversial issue of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are the people who have overstayed the time granted on their US, visa or those who have broken the federal law by crossing the border illegally. Matt O’Brien stated in his article “The government thinks that 10.8 million illegal immigrants lived in the country in January 2009, down from a peak of nearly 12 million in 2007.”(Para, 2) While some argue that illegal immigrants burden the United States of America and its economy, others believe that they have become essential and are an important part of the US, economy.
