Illegal Immigrants

We all come from different places and ethnicities, and because of having a dream, people fled away from their home to seek for something to make their life better. Going to a country like United States, is not only a dream but also, an opportunity because many people think that America is the best place to settle in, where work, and education are an easy access. Though this statement is partly true, it is not that easy. Everyone envied because America is a great nation because it's a country of opportunity, but a part of it also is a mixture of feelings that are hard to explain especially if you are immigrant. Every day in your life, you are fighting for something in order to fit in and survive. However, in the process of fitting in or blending to a certain place, people, and culture, it requires a lot of personal choices and a lot of effort as an immigrant. It does not only affect you as a human, but also it draws a lot of attention, conflicts and tension between the government and community. Most immigrants have a harder time to adjust or assimilate even though they speak fluent English and eat American foods. Whenever you see a person of white complexion, people assumed that blue eyes and blonde hair are the characteristics of an American, though these are how we perceived American long time ago, this are still the standards of a few now and doesn’t make a big change at all. The judgement of how a person look physically and how they

Are illegal immigrants or undocumented immigrants beneficial to America’s economy? Most illegal immigrants have a positive impact on the United States (U.S.) economy. Illegal immigrants have a positive impact on the United States economy because they increase our tax revenue, they add to our social security, and they also increase our employment rates.” In 2000, statistics revealed 8.7 million illegal immigrants resided in the United States” (Knickerbocker pgs.11-12). “A study of illegal immigrants living in Texas showed a 420 million dollar increase in the states economy” (Strayhorn). Companies risk hiring illegal immigrants

Except for crisis medicinal consideration, undocumented outsiders are not qualified for governmentally financed general medical coverage programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP). There is no sorted out, national system to give human services to undocumented youngsters. U.S.- conceived kids in blended status families might be qualified for Medicaid or CHIP on the off chance that they qualify on the premise of wage and age. Albeit elected assets may not be utilized to give non-crisis medicinal services to undocumented foreigners, a few states and nearby governments utilize their own

A documented immigrant is usually an immigrant who has lived here for a while and have the chance to expand and maintain a stable lifestyle. They are usually able to manage and work in high paying jobs. The work that they do usually comes with multiple side benefits such as health care, sick days, and vacation pay. Jobs, such as cashiers, or driving for a pizza store, or other careers that require a degree. As long as documented and has the authorization to work, many documented people are able to settle in Boston, since it’s a city with a lot of opportunities.

In recent months, undocumented immigrants across the country have been stripped of their rights. One thing that is on the minds of many citizens nationwide, is whether or not undocumented immigrants should receive instate tuition in the states they reside in. More specifically, it means whether undocumented students should pay higher rates than citizens to attend a university or college even if their work ethic is smarter than those with citizenship. More importantly, we’re oppressing, discriminating, and alienating a whole group of people due tour pride getting in our way. Particularly, undocumented students and their parents are getting affected by this situation as the whole point they came here was to have their children or themselves

In the past few years a dispute has risen in the middle of the controversy about illegal immigration and border security. Are the children of illegal immigrants U.S. citizens? This a question that has provoked intense arguments and various attempts to change the birth right law established in the Fourteen Amendment. Many conservative people believe the sons and daughters of undocumented immigrants shouldn’t be granted American citizenship. They interpret the 14th amendment to exclude anyone whose parents are not legal residents of this country. There has even been attempts to change the Constitution and the Fourteen Amendment more exclusive. Doing so would leave many people without nationally. Regardless of the countless arguments everyone

Undocumented immigrants put back nearly a majority of their income into local businesses, these immigrants also contribute nearly $15 billion every year into the Social Security fund(Davidson). However, they only use about $1 billion every year through government benefits (Davidson). These immigrants are responsible for many economic benefits, and allowing a path to citizenship for them would result in an influx in tax payments, thereby helping the government and paying for the benefits they would theoretically use (Davidson). Attempts to deport these immigrants would have great costs to the government, this can be illustrated through current budget proposals which designate billions of dollars in attempts to prevent future immigration. Therefore, providing these undocumented immigrants with a path to citizenship would relieve the government of costs to deport them, and would result in an influx of tax dollars for the government to help unskilled natural-born workers that are affected by the undocumented

The article “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant” was written by Jose Antonio Vargas. In it, Vargas tells of the time when his mother brought him to the Phillippines’ Ninoy Aquino International Airport when he was twelve. His mother told him that she wanted to give him a better life so he boarded onto a plane with a man he had never met before and was told that he was his uncle. He arrived in Mountain View, California and moved in with his grandparents Lolo and Lola. Vargas says that he grew to love his new home and when he entered sixth grade that’s when he found his passion for language. He tells of his struggle of making a distinction between “formal English and

Throughout the history of the United States, immigration has become a part of our country’s issue which bean centuries ago. The issue of undocumented immigrates has become the primary focus in this year’s election. Undocumented immigrants are foreign born people who lack a right to be in the United States, having either entered without inspection or stayed beyond the expiration date of a visa or other status. Undocumented immigrants are seen as double edged sword. When people move into an area, legally or not, it can also mean that there will be more consumers and potential workers, but it can also mean fewer jobs for locals. Large numbers of immigrants and their families cannot help but have a significant impact on the cultural, political,

Being one of the 11.5 million illegal immigrants that reside in the United States has always made me stand out. I have had to overcome obstacles that not many other students have faced. From the fears of being expatriated to the feeling of opportunities being lost. Sharing my identity, I believe makes my application more personal.

Are you tired of every blue collar job in America going to the illegal Mexican immigrants. All of them are taking your jobs and working less just because they are from Mexico. That stupid liberal Obama won’t do anything about this problem so you have to take the situation into your own hands. The only way to securely make a living is to have a degree in a useful skill. The American Employment College is the best and cheapest way of obtaining a degree. If you don’t get an education you won’t be able to get a job in this competitive environment, and if you don’t get a job the unemployment rate will skyrocket, which would mean that the economy would collapse, which would lead to the downfall of the U.S.A.

Legalization in the United States for those who are in the country illegally would boost the nation's economy. For example, one article states that granting amnesty “would add a cumulative $1.5 trillion to the U.S. gross domestic product — the largest measure of economic growth — over 10 years” (Amanda). The reason for that is because undocumented immigrants puts workers on a moral cycle increasing the wages for both immigrants and American workers. Immigrants would help make a better work environment with higher salaries which would increase consumer purchasing, resulting in a better economy as a whole. For example, one article states, “The ripple effects of these increased wages would create $181 billion in induced economic impact, and 1.4

Unauthorized immigrants' children are likely to benefit from a legalization program in several ways. As discussed above, families with U.S.-citizen children would be more likely to apply for government benefits on behalf of those children. Parents would eventually be able to legally bring in any children still living in the origin country. Increased family incomes and greater stability would promote economically and socioeconomic advancement. Research indicates that Mexican American young adults living in the United States complete more years of school if their parents were able to legalize their status (Orrenius, Pia, Zavodny 85). Having a father who was able to legalize his status also is associated with better English proficiency and higher

12). A 2007 study on immigrants in Arkansas found that the total economic impact of Arkansas’ one hundred thousand, fifty one percent undocumented, on the state economy is nearly three billion dollars (Willis par. 5). Texas comptroller study found that the one million four hundred thousand undocumented immigrants living in Texas in 2005 contributed 17.7 billion dollars to the state economy (Willis par. 5). Illegal immigrants also take low paying jobs. Most Americans do not like to wash dishes, bust tables, and mop floors, but those are jobs that need to be done. Employers always have trouble finding regular employees to do that kind of work, which is also usually low paying. Americans are not willing to work them whereas the illegal immigrants are. When businesses have trouble filling positions of low skill jobs they only have two choices, raise the wage rate high enough to fill jobs or eliminate positions (Gheen par. 14). Businesses must then raise the prices of their items to make up the difference. Higher prices that the customers of those businesses will end up paying for. Illegal immigration also improves the overall image of America. No other country in the world has the diversity of races,

Next, a study by Raúl Hinojosa-Ojeda states that using a comprehensive immigration plan that involves giving current undocumented immigrants legal status would benefit the country with 1.5 trillion dollars in additional GDP growth over 10 years while increasing wages for all workers. Additionally, tax revenue would be increased by 4.5+ billion dollars over three years. The same study shows the cost of mass deportation, which is 2.6 trillion dollars in lost GDP over 10 years while increased wages for less-skilled workers. These undocumented immigrants certainly have a heavy influence regarding the economy, and it may be beneficial to incorporate them by granting amnesty as opposed to other solutions such as mass deportation. With legal status, the 11 million undocumented individuals can be more productive and help further strengthen the U.S. economy.
