Unauthorized Immigrants

There is an estimate of 8.7 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, according to the Center for immigration studies. They come here because they want a better life for their family, but their presence has caused many problems for the citizens of this country. Moreover, immigration has always been an important issue in the story of the United States. Many undocumented immigrants are able to enter the country illegally. These people along with other citizens say that undocumented immigrants are good for the country as they help the economy by working for a minimum wage in jobs that many refuse to do. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, undocumented take into account 5% of all workers in the United States. In fact, illegal immigrants help lower prices for people to buy more goods which make them suppose that they are an advantage for the country. Undoubtedly, companies that have undocumented workers can increase

Not all undocumented Latino immigrants who try to migrate can make it to the United States (Cammisa, 2009). Some of them do not make it because they die due to all the conditions they experience, and only their bodies are found. Also, the undocumented Latino immigrants that get caught by the authorities and are sent to detention centers where they receive first aid, and then are deported back to their homeland countries (United States. Department of Homeland Security. Office of Inspector General. 2011). The undocumented Latino immigrants who make it to the United States are the luckiest because they get to achieve their goal first step. After they get into this country, all they want to do is to find a job, and start working. Some of the work they get to do are

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. In recent discussions of whether immigrants should be deported, there has been sides where immigration would be good for our country and others disagree. Some believe that immigrants should be allowed to stay in our country, because they believe our economy wouldn’t be good without them and many businesses rely on immigrants working for them. On the other hand, the other side believe that immigrants are overpopulating the U.S and don’t have the money to support all of these immigrants (education/jobs.) Immigrants should be allowed to remain in the country because many families would be separated, they are already accustomed to the American society, and they contribute to the economy.

Immigration is a huge topic in the news right now, many people have different views on immigrants which is why our country is having issues deciding on how they should be treated. The impact of immigrants on our country is viewed as both positive and negative. Some people believe a wall should be built around the border prevent people from coming in illegally, while others believe anyone should be allowed to start a new life in our country. Although some people do come into this country illegally and cause trouble, the positives outweigh the negatives. Immigrants help strengthen America through their hard work and talents, they also contribute their diverse cultures enriching the country, and have a positive impact on the economy. I think

11 million people is the estimated number of undocumented immigrants (UI) in the United States today. That’s an increase of roughly one third since 2000. About 75% of undocumented immigrants arrive across the U.S. southern border with Mexico and hail from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia and other central and South American countries. Millions of undocumented immigrants should be allowed to live in the United States without fear of getting deported.

In 2015, 11.7 million unauthorized immigrants live in the U.S. This number has been gradually increasing over the past decades, but has been stable for the past few years(Pew). There has been a long debate about how these undocumented immigrants affect our economy, whether their impact is negative or positive. Some say they are a drain on the economy and others argue that they make America better. A few common arguments are that immigrants steal the jobs from Americans, they don’t pay taxes, and they are more costly to our states than they contribute. We have all heard these claims at least once before. On the other side of the spectrum, we have some experts who say the immigrants contribute to our GDP and make Americans richer. Those

Many have heard of the American Dream. It is the idea by which freedom means that one is afforded the opportunity for prosperity and success reached by hard work in a culture with few barriers. People from all over the world aspire to come to America and live this dream, the American Dream. Millions of immigrants legally enter this county in pursuit of the aforementioned dream; however, each year half a million immigrants enter this country unlawfully (Immigration Reform. 2006. P5). Consequently, millions undocumented workers have entered the American workforce. Most of the blame for the steady rise of undocumented workers goes to U.S. employers, not those seeking a better life. It is due to the demand for low-paid workers, especially in certain

For centuries the United States remains to be an ideal country for job opportunities. Therefore, migrants make up a tremendous number of America’s population. Immigrants have significantly impacted many aspects of life in the United States. Migrant workers are spread across the country and continue filling underpaid positions that American citizen would never take. Immigrants are the easiest targets for exploitation; employers continue to take advantage of these illegal workers by hiring them to do unfair laborious and physically demanding jobs. As a result, this is part of the cheap labor of the United States. Human right injustices and manipulation should come to an end. There must be a drastic change

Attempting to escape poverty and violence, immigrants are obligated to leave everything behind in their country and embark for the United States illegally. Because of the relentless threats received from notorious gangs, many undocumented immigrants opt for illegal entrance as opposed to waiting in the “imaginary ‘immigration line’” for an immigration visa which “is already 4.4 million people long” (Santana, 2014). After being coerced to join a gang, my father was forced to hop on a daunting train called “La Bestia” from El Salvador to the U.S. I can attest that my father is a hardworking individual who has contributed to this nation. Avoiding any bias, I believe it is unethical and inhumane to send those who come to this nation

The fear for lots of undocumented immigrants has arrived because this past election, people just started living in a great fear because they think that they could get deported. Some people have said that their lives have changed a lot, they feel unsure when they go work, when they’re walking in the streets… But this may or not could happen, because is not going to be the President 's decision only! The actual President Obama has told Americans that deporting millions is “not who we are” and cited Scripture, saying, “We shall not oppress a stranger for we know the heart of a stranger — we were strangers once, too.”

We are all human so there should be no discrimination and we should all have the right to go where we please. Many immigrants come to U.S. for better job opportunities and education for their children and wanted a better life for their family. But undocumented immigrants not only live with the status or tag of "undocumentedness" but they also have to face different challenges in their day to day life.

People rather have their safety and security taken away in order to keep their freedom. For instance, many Mexican immigrants try so hard to reach the American Dream, so they are willing to risk their lives to obtain that freedom and opportunity for education. They walk through the burning hot deserts, go through dehydration for many days, and even more hardships in order to leave their problems in Mexico and get a fresh new start at life. Even when in America, illegal Mexican immigrants face every day worrying whether they will be deported and lose their chance at having the American Dream. They sacrifice themselves and all their possessions back at Mexico just to come to America in order to obtain the freedom that citizens get. Some people

“Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.” Immigration laws have inevitably resulted in a situation where many illegal immigrants live and work in the United States, but it is also an issue that has been blown out of proportion by the media and politicians, such as Donald trump. Illegal aliens are accused of bringing drugs and statutory offense to the United States, as well as take away millions of jobs and take away trillions of dollars from the country for getting free healthcare and food stamps. The united states has had an increase of 20% in the immigrant population in the past 10 years and it went from 35.1

In Economic and Social Impact of Immigrants Stephen Moore is arguing that immigrants and refugees contribute positively to the American Economy. He conveys this through the use of surveys, data, and facts from multiple sources. In the second paragraph he took a 1986 survey that concluded that a lot of foreigners achieved success in this country in difficult positions such as engineering and entrepreneurship. Two separate studies’ discussed in the sixth and seventh paragraphs dispel common beliefs that immigrants take jobs away from natural born citizens. The studies concluded that the exact opposite of popular opinion, immigrants in fact benefitted the economy for employers, employees, and the US economic position. Another popular opinion is

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.
