Illegal Immigrants

If it were up to you, and you had the choice whether or not to give undocumented citizens a chance at citizenship, would you? Many people believe that they should not have a chance at citizenship because they came here illegally. Every person has their own opinion on this topic. This debate is one of many debates going on in between the candidates or even the politicians, but of course they all have their own views and reasons on it. Everyone should consider that they should because either we are hurting families or they can help improve our economy. In the next three paragraphs this argument will be influencing you to side with my claim, that undocumented citizens should get a pathway to citizenship.

This has been a controversy subject for years. Some are arguing that this path would need to be created simply for the reason that it is the most civilized method in handling with the population, it is financially sound, and it would stop the tragic displacing of many people's lives (Plant, 2003). People are making the point that making a way for illegal immigrants that are coming into the U.S. as children would be the most right and nice thing to do and it would even be very civilized on their part. This would also lift the heavy burden of being "illegal" off of so many shoulders of adults and parents (Alderson, 2006). Some would argue that it would make them feel as though they are at home and would probably give them some sense of pride in who they are.

For years immigration has been the hot topic and the one topic that cannot be draw down to a conclusion. The United States government thinks that by deporting immigrants all problems will be solved. In Reality nothing can be resolved by deporting, instead is creating even more issues to the country. What needs to be realize is that deportation is just separating families, children are left without a parents or without any of their parents. Children from immigrants are sent to foster care and that is nothing that child that has parents has to go through, just for the simple reason of having undocumented parents. It is estimated that eleven million immigrants have children who are U.S. citizens, this children’s have lived their entire lives in the U.S., have attended public schools, have advanced to college and some even have jobs that support the U.S. economy (Ceceña). Some may think “well why they don’t just go with their parents?” That may sounds like a good idea, but why not think about the challenges and situations that this children will have to go through after creating a lifestyle in the U.S. Now it

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

The issue this debate is covering is weather or not the United States should allow the children of immigrants to become legal citizens. Some question if it is a violation of the US constitution to allow the citizenship of children born on US soil to parents who have entered the US illegally. The 14th Amendment to the constitution addresses this issue, however how the US should proceed as a country is still up for a very real and reasonable debate.

Point: Many illegal immigrants have kids who are U.S. citizens and deportation would tear these families apart. This would result in more single parent or no parent households. The psychological and financial hardship would force their U.S. citizen children into deportation with their family. These American children may have to start over in a country with an unfamiliar language, culture, and fewer resources.

Should millions of undocumented immigrants be allowed to live in the U.S without the fear of being deported and losing their families? Undocumented immigrants who move to the U.S to help give a better life to their families should not worry about being deported. Undocumented immigrants risk their lives crossing boarders, just to give their families a better life. Not all undocumented are rapists, drug traffickers or any of the other things Donald Trump has said about the undocumented immigrant. Undocumented immigrant laws have become a situation because so many undocumented immigrants live and work in the United States. Trying to figure out whether undocumented immigrants should be deported or legalized is causing an effect on the families and they live in fear of what could happen and how it could change their lives forever. Many undocumented immigrants take many risks to cross the border and the fear that undocumented immigrants have to live with is unfair.

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

Immigration has become a very controversial topic that no one can stop talking about. From President Barack Obama’s Immigration Reform to potential 2016 presidential candidates, everyone is looking at different ways to amend our broken immigration system. Almost everyone agrees that we need tighter border control and there needs to be more regulations to prevent the hiring of illegal immigrants. Not everyone is sure what should be decided about immigrant parents, who are not American citizens, and their American born children. This topic has left people questioning the 14th Amendment and “birthright citizenship.” While some people have no tolerance for these children and want them out, others have thought of better solutions that keep the

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

.Should the government allow immigrants who are here illegally to remain in the US through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals?

These children/youths were brought by their parents illegally making many eligible for DACA which is linked to the high volume of DACA applications. Facts such as this proves the need for a policy like DACA. On the other hand, members of our society constantly ask “why should we care”. We should care because children should be given the opportunity to thrive and succeed regardless of their documentation status. Society should care because the prospects and potential for this group success is limited, but more importantly, the discrimination, isolation and fear that they go through should not be experienced by any child or adolescent in our

Should illegal immigrants be allowed to remain in the United States? Yes, they ought to allow undocumented immigrants remain in the country because they are people who seek for new live opportunities. Who is an alien, illegal, undocumented immigrant? It is a person who entered the country without a visa, someone who crosses the border. People refer immigrants in three different as aforementioned, but why “alien”. The reason many migrate to the United States because it portrays prosperity and provides protection. Indeed, the government can easily deport illegal immigrants. What is going to happen to the U.S if all immigrants are deported? Many illegal immigrants who entered the country have established and created a family. It is unjust that the government separates illegal immigrants from their children. It is cruel that children are far away from their parents and are send to foster. Congress has not agreed upon an

Undocumented immigrants should get a pathway to citizenship because it will improve our economy. Even though many people assume that that undocumented immigrants don’t pay tax, they contribute a lot of taxes to our economy. In fact, as of the year 2013, undocumented immigrants pay about 11.64 billion per year. However, if they are granted citizenship, according to a 2016 report from Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy, this number can go up by 2.1 billion; thus their nationwide effective state and local tax rate would increase to 8.6 percent. In other words, even without legal documents, undocumented still pay tax, and if given citizenship, they will positively contribute to our economy even more. On top of that, Marielena Hincapié, the

There are many immigration activists working hard to create equality for undocumented immigration who are trying to establish citizenship in the United States. I believe accommodations should be made for the families with children who are U.S citizens. Many people lose their lives on their journey to America for improved living conditions and opportunities for their family. I think a little compassion for these families can help built and strengthen our economy and ensure families stay together. For example, immigrants grow fruits and vegetable and sell them at farmer
