Pros And Cons Of Illegal Immigration To The United States

Closing the border has its benefits and its problems, but each way could be explained in different ways from different people. Some immigrants could explain why closing is good or bad and some americans could do the same. Not closing the border would mean that americans would be able to still work as they do without having to worry about someone taking their job due to immigration. Closing the border is a bad idea because immigrants take american jobs, risk of terrorism, puts the government in stress for resources, and most importantly they overpopulate America. Taking American jobs is something that is not wanted by the people whose jobs are being taken, but also causes problems for the workforce.

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.

Why consider opposing viewpoints? "The only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject, is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion, and studying all modes in which it can be looked at by every character of mind." - John Stuart Mill, British philosopher. The book Immigration Opposing Viewpoints discusses the Historical Debate: should immigration be restricted? Is immigration a problem for the U.S.?

Immigration has always been a big issue for the United States government. It seems to me that ever since 9/11 happened, the government has passed more immigration laws and have become stricter on their policies and who exactly can come over to the United States. As of today, the United States has what is called a closed border. This means that it prevents other people from other countries to step onto US soil without having certain jurisdictions. Often people wonder if this is morally just.

America has come such a long way to be known as the Melting Pot. The reason behind this is that America is extremely diverse and has many different people. Many of immigrants, both legal and illegal, from around the world, are migrating to here, in California. For some, this is an advantage. Economically, this means there are more consumers- more people to take advantage of the opportunities and resources that this state has to offer.

“ I speak not of myself but for those without voice.. Those who have fought for their rights.. Their rights to live in peace, their rights to be treated with dignity, their rights to equality of opportunity, their rights to be educated.” ~ Malala Yousafzai. Sometimes people judge others without knowing how they truly are.

“Illegal immigration continues to be a major problem in the United States. We have people wanting to come here legally and we should not be rewarding people who have come here illegally,” said John Barrasso. The United States Government should not allow immigrants into America because they are having negative effects on our country. Some negative effects are citizens competing with illegals for jobs, immigrants expecting favors, and Americans not getting to work hard for their money.

Once immigrants leave our country we will have more opportunities of better wages and newer jobs. Most immigrants threaten our safety. Most of all, American culture is worth preserving. I believe that United States should have a tough immigration policy. First of all, immigrants have a higher chance for a better job because of a green card they might have.

America is currently home to over 11 million illegal immigrants, most of which occupy farm worker positions. Some experts argue that immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans and that they are potentially going to cost America trillions. Others experts have claimed that illegal immigrants have proven to be vital to the economy of America. Illegal immigrants substantially benefit the United States’ economy because they occupy a large sum of our labor force while providing money to agriculturally dependent businesses.

Immigration Immigration has had a big influence on many parts of the world, including America. America has been influenced by immigrants from many parts of the world and it has changed America’s history from now to the end of time. It was and is a big topic in other countries such as England or Asia. It has changed the way all countries are today and is still an influencing factor that is changing them even today. Immigrants have influenced the American culture and the American culture has been shaped by immigrants.

Immigration has long been a part of the United States of America’s history. There have been several spikes in migration to the U.S. over time due to many different circumstances. One prominent circumstance is that most of the migrants are in search of a better life in the United States. On the other hand, immigration can present quite a few problems for the U.S. This can make immigration policy very complex and hard to pass in congress.

Illegal Immigration is a huge debate in America. What should America do with the illegal immigrants? Many believe that America should deport the illegal immigrants back to their homeland. They believe that America should do this because they are taking American jobs, costing American taxpayers, and smuggling illegal drugs into America.
