Employment of Illegal Immigrants

According to the Legal Arizona Workers Act, which is also sometimes referred to as the “Employer Sanctions Laws,” came into effect on 1st January, 2008 (Legal Arizona Workers Act, n.d.). This act basically forbids and disallows the businesses from knowingly or deliberately engaging the illegal alien or the unauthorized alien after December 31st, 2007. Under this statue an unauthorized alien can be defined as the alien who do not have the legal rights and privileges or the authorization under the federal law to work under the United States (Legal Arizona Workers Act, n.d.). The case explains to be excused from the NLRB authority as an opinionated and political divisions and subdivision of the state, the employer must moreover, be produced unswervingly by the state in order to constitute and comprise a department or an organizational

Joe Messerli published an article that addressed the positive and negative effects immigrants have on the U.S. Obviously, having a larger population causes there to be greater competition to obtain work, however, the majority of the positions obtained by illegal immigrants are those that are undesired by Americans; low-skilled, low-paying, labor-intensive jobs (Messerli 2). Illegal immigrants pursue careers like dishwashers, landscapers, field workers, housekeepers, and food-processing plant workers. Very few Americans have the desire to obtain these jobs, whereas, illegal immigrants fill those positions gladly and do so at decreased wages. They also stay employed in those positions for many years, normally without the possibility of promotion. Americans however, only remain in such low-skilled, low-paying jobs for a short time, seeking to advance to higher paying positions.

Invisible workers are workers who are usually performing jobs or services that may be behind the scenes, unseen and unknown, maintaining a low profile to avoid detection. This country has many invisible workers and many of them are here as undocumented workers. The jobs they do and services they perform help to keep our society running smoothly in many cases. Often they do not get credit for the work that they do, but in many cases, we could not get along without them. Many of the jobs the undocumented workers perform are jobs that no one else wants to do, such as work in sanitation, janitorial, construction, etc. Because of the nature of many of these jobs, a number of them are performed by those who are here without benefit of legal documentation.

The undocumented immigrant population is growing every year in the United States. Whether they came to settle here for freedom or for more opportunities in life, it is a lot harder for immigrants who are undocumented versus the immigrants who are legally documented to find professional and/or stable jobs to maintain due to the absence of legal working permits or green card holders. We can help them lead to successful paths, as well as helping our economy grow, and keeping our community safe by having employment centers.

In addition, immigrants also try and apply for employment when they can, to try and reach their goal of the “American Dream” or their ideal theory of freedom. However, because of the necessity of jobs they can obtain, which are those many the American’s don’t want including: janitorial, agricultural, street cleaning, or even risky jobs. Getting less than minimum wage, not aware of the laws of the government as it pertains to paying taxes becomes a cycle where they are forced by many of the employers to break the law which otherwise would be followed. Not to mention, the occasional employer takes advantage of the 'illegal alien' and usually pays below minimum wage because they know the worker has no option but to either quit or accept it. And

In the United States illegal immigration benefits the economy and growth, but also creates more problems such as inviting more immigrants. According to the article Undocumented Immigrants Should Receive Social Services by Melissa Marietta confirms “Immigrants to this country are not fighting for a student loan or access to a free clinic; they are fighting for the opportunities that they are denied in their native country” (Marietta). Most people look for a better future and head towards the opportunities illegal immigrants recognize United States as a land of opportunities. There are many working opportunities such as mining, railroad, lumbering, and construction in the United States. For example, a common job for illegal immigrants is the construction field. The

In the United States of America there are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. Many industries depend heavily on immigrant labor , legal and illegal, to achieve productivity. The construction industry, nationally , employ at a fast rate about 1,000,000 illegal immigrants; almost one in five illegal immigrants work major industries. (Passel,2006). Immigrant reform will undoubtedly reduce the supply of illegal immigrant by encouraging enforcement of current laws by creating new legislation with harsher penalties for illegal immigration. The enforcement of the new laws will allow for industries to allow employers to recruit and hire foreign born workers only with signs of identification. However for the industries

The main purpose of the goals was to put a stop to hiring illegal immigrants. The act itself makes it unlawful to hire anyone that is not a documented citizen of the United States. More than ever, the law provides for employer sanctions and penalties if the law is violated. According to Nichols, they felt the new policy was very democratic because it brought along penalty for employers who were hiring illegal immigrants. As the policy relates to values of the social work profession they are consistent. Social workers are always making sure all immigrants are United States citizens so that they can avoid deportation and so they can also receive all financial assistance they might need.

The fact of the matter is that they are not taking jobs from others, but simply working the ones many do not desire. The jobs these illegal immigrants work are low education service jobs, such as cleaning, dishwashing, cooking, and construction. These jobs do not require much education which makes it easy for them to work them. Employers will hire them since they are cheap labor making the employer more money. Even the migrating jobs involved with agriculture, less Americans are migrating to the illegal immigrants do. Even with the low paying jobs, illegal immigrants still account for 15% of the American workforce (Hoban). Although they may be assisted by the government through the welfare system, some are trying to generate economic growth; however, this does not dismiss the fact they have entered illegally and should be punished through

There are many illegal immigrants in the US. Illegal immigrants should be able to stay in the US and not get deported because they aren’t doing anything wrong and lose important things. Innocent immigrants living the same life as regular Americans lose important things needed to live for no reasons.

Many americans believe that once immigrants come over here they are going to take all the job opportunities we have, but to be quite honest there are so many jobs out there it would not even affect them. Immigrants tend to do jobs that most americans would not even think of doing, for example, we have american citizens on the corners begging for money, being lazy (I understand that everyone 's situation is different)rather than going out to look for a job. On the other hand, we see immigrants working in all seasons on construction sites. In all reality they do the jobs americans do not want to do. Most employers do not mind them because of the hard working ethics that they have.

There were eleven and a half million unauthorized immigrants in the United States in 2014. The population has remained stable for five years, and currently makes up three and half percent of the nation’s population. In the United States Labor Force, there were eight million unauthorized immigrants either working or looking for work in 2014. Is it ethical to employ illegal immigrants? According to the Pew Research Center, Currently, “49% of US citizens agree with the statement “immigrants today strengthen the country because of their hard work and talents.” Somewhat fewer (41%) agree with an opposing statement: “immigrants today are a burden on our country because they take our jobs, housing and health care”” (Pew Research Center for the People and the Press). It also states that this same poll has been taken each year and that the opposing statement is getting more popular each year. There are a few different sides to the question of illegal immigrant employment being ethical and I am going to share some information about this topic with you today.

be issued a temporary worker card that will allow them to travel back and forth

The legal issues in this case are: there is anywhere from twelve to twenty million illegal immigrants residing in the United States illegally. As far as the ethical issues in this case, well there are so many issues I wouldn’t even know where to begin. The fact that any business would intentionally make their working environment and so poor knowing that only illegal immigrants would tolerate working there without reporting it to any agency or the legal system is beyond unethical! Now that the legal system only requires employers to use the “E-Verify” system rather than making any illegal immigrant/person provide hard copies of their citizenship. Proof of legal status can now be passed

One reason illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the United States is that they're willing to take jobs that no one wants. About 7.2 million undocumented Immigrants work in the U.S. They also make jobs for Immigrants and Americans. Most of the time they take jobs that don’t take that much skill. Most of the time they are working with other Immigrants. They also work for Americans that need workers and in those jobs they work with Americans. Most immigrants need money to pay for their family
