Summary: It's Time To End Illegal Immigration

959 Words4 Pages

Throughout history, millions of people have immigrated to The United States with high hopes of a better life. This not only helped them achieve their goal, but also helped build America as we know it today. While they can be hard workers, illegal immigration ultimately needs to be stopped, or slowed at the very least because it 's economically crippling to allow them to take advantage of government assistance, it’s expensive to ensure the education of their children, many put lives in danger by driving without a licence, and allowing them to stay encourages more to come. When people come to America illegally and start a family, they have children, so as a result, almost half of illegal immigrant households have children in them. These children are technically US citizens because they were born here, which means they’re enrolled into public schools which costs money that their illegal parents are unlikely able to pay. It costs about $12,028 to keep a student in a public school from kindergarten to the 12th grade. When this number is …show more content…

These methods include a physical barrier between us and Mexico to make it significantly harder to get here and an effective way to track illegal aliens to find them if they were to get passed the barrier. We’d also need a stronger method of enforcement when dealing with deporting illegal immigrants. The biggest thing we can do to stop them is having nothing that would give them the incentive to come to the US in the first place. If there was no government assistance for them to exploit once they get here, there would be nothing for them here and they wouldn’t go through the trouble of coming here. This solution doesn’t necessarily mean there shouldn’t be government assistance programs, but they should only be attainable by immigrating here the right way by becoming a legal

    Every year illegal immigrants come into our country and with them they bring their children. Roughly a million children are brought here yearly as their parents seek better lives for their families. That’s where the United States struggles to enforce laws and kick them out because they’re young and most likely had no say in whether or not to enter our country. I sympathize for the kids no doubt, but the fact that they have entered the country illegally is unacceptable; for according to the rule of law, no person is above the law nor below it. According to the law, it is ILLEGAL to enter the United States without going through the process of naturalization.

    Three ways to secure the border would be to build a wall, call in more of the national guard, and deport the illegal immigrants with harsher punishments. Building a wall would prevent illegal immigrants from crossing the border than the fences that are already there. Fences eventually are not going to be as stable as before, and sneaking a way through fences is easier than trying to climb up a wall. A wall would not have loopholes like the fences do for the illegal aliens to find their way over, like building tunnels under or climbing over it. Obviously the fences are not working because over 11 million illegal immigrants have made their way into the
