Illegal Immigration Pros And Cons

If you were an undocumented immigrant being pressured, hated, and discriminated against, how would you feel? Over “10 to 12 million undocumented immigrants are here in the U.S(),” and this is a major controversial topic in our society right now and for years everyone has had a different opinion on what should be done about undocumented immigrants. As for me I am for the U.S. government allowing undocumented immigrants to become U.S. citizens. Though undocumented immigrants are not supposed to be here most immigrants are law abiding, pay taxes and here to live the American dream.

An American citizen who visits other countries is somehow automatically protected, held to certain regards and given certain liberties, which sometimes the “Citizens” of those countries do not receive. Americans can travel to just about any country without a visa or any form of legal documents. Aside from a passport, they can choose to reside in that country simply because they want to without any form of backlash, ill treatment, or fear for their lives. They get some of the better jobs pushing the locals out of those positions. Therefore, illegal immigrants in the United States do have some constitutional rights that citizens have.

In the United States of America, for most regions the dominate religion is Christianity. Christian values of generosity, equality, and respect may come off as stable and universally accepted for improving human life. However, there is misconception to this thinking with these values it means Americans hold themselves to a high standard within there group, and lower out groups. In todays administration, President Donald Trump Christian values is influencing his actions against Undocumented Immigrants for the improvement of the citizens of the United States in order to, “Make America Great again”. Toleration of Undocumented Immigrants is a phenomenon that is rooted beyond an understanding, but more from psychological intentions.

The first effort to control immigration was not to bar immigrants entirely, or turn back those who wanted to travel to the United States, but to set standards for immigration and separate the desirable newcomers who would add to the country from undesirables which would only tear it down. The very first immigration enforcement enacted by Congress was in 1798, and allowed the present to deport anyone that was deemed dangerous to the United States.

With education being the number priority and the reason why many immigrants came to the United States, but with many organizations have been helping many immigrants in achieving their citizenship, but also helping students with scholarships with non-profit foundation, meaning that the no federal organization gave them money with no strict requirements about their status in the U.S to get this scholarships. An organization located here is here in Texas that is called the North Texas Dream Act which helps millions immigrants that still don’t have legal status yet and helps them in many ways by giving funds and scholarships to students that are in need to find money to finish their career and start a good life. Other ways of achieving funds to pay for tuition at certain college or universities by receiving in state tuition that is based on financial aid but the requirement aren’t very crucial they just to live in the state for two years and graduated from high school or got a GED. For example Texas has the application Texas Application for State financial aid and many don’t even know it exists being that it existed for more than a decade. If parents were to leave and be deported the student

June 2012 was a year with a huge break through on illegal immigration, and the fight to set the decision right. Opportunities to improve immigrants careers, schooling, and lives, who were born in the United States and plan on staying are on the rise. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was created to provide immigrants with an opportunity to stay in the States “legally,” but continue their lives through education if graduating from an U.S. high school, going to college, serving in the armed forces, and eventually gain citizenship in the United States. Many U.S. citizen have many thoughts and views on illegal immigrants and immigration in general, and the pros and cons to having DACA support illegal immigrants to stay in the country. There is a huge decision in process currently in 2017 that is putting DACA in risk from being a Federal Program that would end up effecting many immigrants. Threatening deportation and the possibility of losing everything that DREAMers have worked up to and for and are continuing to work towards is at a huge risk of just being thrown away. Keeping DACA and protecting the DREAMers is important because mentally and physically they are just as much of a U.S. citizen as anyone else born in the U.S.

Our country is known as a country of immigrants. Doors are open all the time for those who are willing to come legally to add an extra values to our nation. Our country needs immigrants who have ideas, skills, and knowledge to allow us leading the world. We do not need immigrants who are willing to enter to our soil illegally and become dependent on our government help. Our country needs people who are proud to be independent, supporting their families, and paying their income taxes. Those taxes help the government improve and build our road, schools, hospitals, and more. If our officials become more tolerant with illegal immigrants, they are automatically facing our country and economy to jeopardy. Our officials should learn from what happen

Whether to grant illegal immigrants full amnesty or not is a very controversial and important question in today's society. As David Decrosse explains, amnesty means, “lifting a penalty associated with an entire class of people who have violated a law.” Some people might think that American authority deporting illegal immigrants with little repercussions is amnesty, but full amnesty would mean letting the immigrants stay in America and have a regulated job. If amnesty is granted the economy would benefit, it is morally right, and it would not hurt the society in any way.

Pros and Cons of Illegal Immigration Illegal immigration is a huge issue residing in Canada.

Immigration is a very debated topic in the United States right now. Conservative citizens believe that people who enter the country illegally, or without proper documentation, have no right to stay. The federal government has laws set in place to prevent illegal immigrants from staying in their borders for too long such as taking away their right to work and ensuring that businesses do not hire these people. The government wants to have accountability of its visitors so that it can keep their citizens safe. Texas borders Mexico for approximately 2000 miles and many of the illegal immigrants come through there to work in Texas.

There are a lot of arguments whether or not illegal aliens should or should not be allowed into another country. People have to realize that the main reason for illegal immigration are for their freedom and/or more job opportunities to allow people to have the ability of supporting their families or even just their self.

The number of legal immigrants in the United States grows each year. Migrationpolicy.org says, “in 2000, 31.1 million immigrants lived in the united states. 42.4 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2014.” The Immigration Act of 1952 ensured that America has procedures in place to apply for legal residency or even naturalization. However, the act has been amended so many times that legal immigration has become more complicated. Some argue that the number of undocumented immigrants entering America is directly related to the complexities associated with our immigration laws; but if you needed to get away from a gang, dictator, bad economic issues, or your family was in danger wouldn’t you just come into a country even if you were breaking laws?
