Pros And Cons Of Immigration Reform

333 Words2 Pages

First, I think it 's cute how you 're dictating what I should think, as if I 'm incapable of developing an knowledgeable opinion.

Secondly, before we continue with Immigration reform we have to shut the border and figure out what to do with the people here. Period. The only reason you have to shut the border is due to the welfare state. If there were no welfare state then we could have freeflow of people across the border. You could work, leave, follow the work. There wouldn 't be a net loss in terms of the tax dollar. You would not be paying taxes then taking benefits.

You an have one of two things, a welfare state with very restrictive immigration, or you can have a non-welfare state with complete freeflow of immigration.

Realistically speaking, We do have a welfare state so.. we have to shut the border instead of incentivising millions more non english speaking, low education, poor, low skill people to cross the border. We have to start enforcing our visas because 40% of illegals have overstayed their visas. Then we figure out to do with the folks here. Whether that is a pathway to citizenship or to legalization that doesn 't become immediate until after the border is secure. Because until the border is secure there is an open invitation to come in because how exactly are where going to tell if you got here yesterday or 10 years ago? There is no way to be able to track that currently. …show more content…

The fact is border security is a must before immigration reform. The fact is you cannot have a freeflow of immigration into a welfare system.

It would be as if you had a busted water main, but instead of FIRST attending to the pipe leaking water all over your house you 'd focus on damage control and replace the floors, the dry wall, the electrical WHILE water would be flowing constantly on your work. We can talk immigration reform once the border is

    The U.S Government has social welfare systems that supports lower class in need. From home providing programs like “Welfare” and “Section 8 housing” to food providing programs like “Food Stamps” and “WIC “( Women, Infants, and Children ).

    Welfare dependence creates behavioral poverty. Perhaps President Franklin D. Roosevelt said it best: “Continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fibre. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.” To become comfortable relying on the work of others instead of your own work will change your character, and the character of the nation. Americans want to give everyone a helping hand, but hand-holding year after year, generation after generation, patronizes, corrodes, entraps.

    That is not what welfare should be used for though, it should be used as an extra last resort support system for an individual until they can get back on their feet. This is why there are so many people on the street and in homeless shelters, because the government is giving them free money. This is why it should in the end be up to private organizations and charity. This is because if it is a small group of people working with the less fortunate they can get to know them individually and try to help them off of welfare or the support that they are getting. Granted there are some things that the less fortunate should have the opportunity to have and that is health care.

    By us showing them that they are welcome, the chances of us having an immigration reform will decrease. Entering this country is hard enough as it is, so why make the process of obtaining a green card complicated too. I suggest that every undocumented individual that is hard working and who did not commit a serious crime should be given a chance at becoming a permanent resident. First, give them temporary resident ship and after working and paying taxes without committing a crime for 5 years they can achieve permanent residency, after living as a permanent resident for another 5years they should be able to apply for

    One flaw is that welfare is mandated by the federal government. “The current welfare system is a complicated set of federal programs involving the Department of Health and Human Services, Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, Treasury, and Education” (Faherty 17). Although this may seem like a good thing from the outside, it isn’t as favorable as it appears. Each community is unique, and therefore has its own individual set of people and needs. There are 50 states in America, 3.797 million square miles, 19,354 cities, and 318.9 million people.

    No Test, No Check Ronald Reagan said, “We should measure welfare’s success by how many people leave, not by how many are added.” People should find a way not to rely on the government for assistance unless it is truly needed. Welfare is defined as a program designed to help those in financial need or the unemployed by distributing goods or money. Welfare is made for those who need assistance for a short amount of time and is not meant to be long term. It is a privilege for those who are not financially stable enough to support themselves or their families.

    The welfare reform is a movement to reduce the number of people and families dependent on welfare. The welfare reform is important because the government's goal of these reforms is to reduce the number of people and families that receive welfare from the government. Beliefs on the welfare reform are that benefits should be cut because people on welfare are abusing it being dishonest and giving welfare does not address the real problems. Welfare reform does not the give people and families in need an opportunity to step out into the world and be self-sufficient, instead it moves them out of welfare and into without health benefits, without childcare, and without savings.

    There are about, if not more, 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in the United States of America only in 2014. Mexicans make up about half of all unauthorized immigrants (52%), even though their numbers have been declining over the past years. The numbers have declined because it is said that just under Barack Obamas Presidency has deported 1.4 million undocumented immigrants while in office. An immigration reform would be helpful because it would boost the economy, increase tax revenue, decrease government deportation expenses, and in gaining legal status it will help keep families together. Many people oppose it but with the right regulations a reform, which both parties agree on, can be passed.
