PHIL 20: Logic
All Undocumented People Should be Deported The issue of whether or not all undocumented people residing in the United States should be deported is currently at the forefront of the nation’s attention, with strong opinions on both sides. Living in a predominantly agriculture-based region, this is very close to home. People that I know, go to school with, and work with either are or have family members who are undocumented themselves. My view is that undocumented people be deported, but I wonder if the consequences of carrying this out would really be worth the benefits. A strong argument that supports the thesis that all undocumented people in the United States should be deported is the simple

As stated by premise two, undocumented people do come here illegally, but this does not automatically mean that they should be deported. Most people who immigrate here illegally, are only doing so because it is so difficult and takes so long to do so legally. The majority of them seek only to have better lives and create more opportunities for their families than they had. For example, one of my coworkers’ parents immigrated here illegally before he was born. I’ve talked with him multiple times about the topic of illegal immigration and he has always emphasized to me how grateful he is to his parents for coming here because if they had not, he would not have any of the opportunities he has now of going to college, and making a career as an engineer. Because they came here, even though it was illegal, he and his siblings have the chance to live better lives than their parents had, and give better lives to their own children than they would have had in Mexico. So, just because someone came here illegally, doesn’t mean they did so with bad intentions and doesn’t mean they deserve to be deported. Another argument for the idea that all undocumented people should be deported, is that it will significantly lessen the burden on taxpayers. In standard form, the syllogism
Did you know that there is an estamated 3.1 million american children with at least one parent who is illigally in the united states? Illegal immigration has always been a problem in the U.S dating all the way back to 1875. In 1882 president Chester A. Aurthor was the first president to bann all chinese workers. Soon after, the criminals and the mentally ill were refused from theU.S. Immigration wasn't always a problem before this. In 1892 the first portal oft immigration opened up in Ellis Island, New York. This was the premier station for immigration. Here new arrivals had to show identity and were asked a series of questions. After all this the immigrants were scanned for physical ailments and they had to have a friend or family
Tax revenue is the income gained by the government through taxation. The potential financial costs of granting illegal immigrants
Hundreds of Arawaks arrive from the New World in violation of Queen Isabella’s order forbidding Indian slavery. Aspiring knight Vasco Núñez de Balboa guards the Arawaks en route to the capital. After some Arawaks escape, one escapee impales herself on Balboa's sword to prevent recapture. Columbus' agents report Columbus found "The Garden of Eden". The bad news is the colonists are in rebellion and the Arawak "prisoners of war" are legally enslaved.
Immigrants come to America chasing hopes and dreams of someday having a life of wealth. The United States has this imagine that everything will be better and all your problems will be solved. However, in the last century we’ve had a raise of Illegal Immigrants in the country.
Without them, a decline in our food production would, in fact, decrease. Undocumented workers contribute to construction projects, harvesting, landscaping, and hundreds of other projects that make out country what it is today. Mass deportation never has been and never will be the right option. The idea of taking millions of men, women, and children out of their homes and torn from their lives is unthinkable. It’s time to give them the ability to become legal citizens. As Bernie Sanders once expressed, “The bottom line of all this is that it is time to bring our neighbors out of the shadows. It is time to give them legal status. it is time to create a reasonable and responsible path to
A positive point of view for why illegal aliens should be deported back to their home country is it would create more jobs for Americans. Everybody always complains about the low employment rate in America, only being 5.1 percent. It is estimated that 700,000 illegal aliens come into this country every year looking for work. Illegal aliens who shouldn't even be here shouldn't be taking American jobs when the unemployment rate is so low. Although jobs for Americans are important, keeping this country safe, some argue, could be even more important.
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
Have you ever heard of Immigrants? Or what they have to go through in order to get to the United States? Well most people don’t know or pay attention to it because they don’t have any immigrants in their family or maybe because they ignore all the problems in their Society. However, it shouldn’t be like that. Anyways, immigrants go through a lot of things for example, some people go through the desert to get to the United States, while others cross the border illegally. Have you ever heard of what happens to the people that get caught crossing the border? Well, they get returned to where they are from and some people are very close to getting to the United States just when they get caught. But still some people try again and again until they
On June 2001, a substantial bipartisan majority in the Texas legislature nominated the Texas Dream Act, which Governor Perry signed to allow undocumented immigrants who were brought to Texas as children by their parents to pay in-state tuition at public colleges and universities if they graduated from high school or received a GED in the state. Available to those who have at least three years of residency and are seeking legal residency, this provision has benefited thousands of Texas students.
The final significant reason that undocumented immigrants should be deported is that this will eliminate the large population of illegal’s in the United States. As Congressman King clarified by stating that, “with hindsight, we can see clearly that the 1986 law did not solve America’s illegal immigration problem.’’ King’s point is that because the 1986 law wasn’t implemented correctly America now has a large population of undocumented immigrants.
Illegal immigrants who are in the United States should have a chance in life. A chance to try to have a better future for their family and themselves. Americans are the first to criticize mexican immigrants for being illegal. They say that immigrants take their jobs, that Americans don’t do. Immigrants should have a right to go out in public and not be scared to be deported. They should be able to become U.S citizens, so they can stay in the U.S legally. They could work and provide for their families. If illegal immigrants can become legal in the U.S it could save ICE billions of dollars, they can bring their talents to the U.S, and it wouldn’t be such a long process to become a U.S citizen.
What Seems to be a super popular question in our American Society today is, “Should we deport Illegal Aliens?” If you’re a whole hearted person believing everyone deserves a great life, illegal or not, “You’re stupid, and you’re not only stupid, you’re wrong.” - Donald J. Trump. In this Paper you are going to learn 3 very strong reasons why not deporting illegal aliens is unacceptable. Reason 1; Illegal Alien Crimes. Reason 2; It isn’t fair to LEGAL immigrants. Reason 3; The more hypocritical “Illegals taking Legal peoples jobs.”
President Donald trump said “I plan to deport at least two to three million undocumented immigrants also said “Ill hire of an additional five thousand border patrol officers and ten thousand ice officers. The administers said “does not currently intend to deport level million immigrants so the deportations under consideration would have smaller import. This all suggests that “deportation could carry significant direct costs and should be core concerns for a fiscally prudent government, which the current administration and the GOP claims to be. The AAF estimates “that removing all eleven million immigrants would decrease the labor force by six percent ad cut GDP by 1.6 trillion next years. The ANC say that economic benefits have been well established in a report by
Although the issue of immigration policy has been at the center of political debates, largely discussed in the media and newspapers, no one has yet found a solution to this ill-defined problem, that would comply with the America’s core values. While I think the immigration policy does need a reform, the solution to this problem certainly is not a deportation of all undocumented residents.
Illegal immigrants have always been a problem for the United States. Entering the country illegally can result in deportation back to their native country. The majority of those that enter the country illegally are here to find a better future. As more and more undocumented immigrants pour into this country, stricter laws are being passed which in terms becomes a controversial issue.
