Immigrants Pie Chart

Gustavo Diaz Ordaz became president of the United States of Mexico in 1964, years before the massacre, that took place in October 2, 1968 at ”la plaza de las Tres Culturas” in Mexico city, better known as “Tlatelolco Massacre” (“Mexico 's 1968 Massacre”). It was supposed to be an unarmed peacefull protest, but at sunset the police and military forces equipped with armored cars and tanks surrounded the plaza and began firing into the open crowd. The police fire hit not only the protestors but also innocent bystanders.

Maria C. Abascal’s  “Reform’s mixed impact on Immigrants” is a reliable source. In this article, the author Abascal refers to how complicated it can be for undocumented immigrants to be covered for health care with the Affordable Care Act, and how it can provide benefits to legal immigrants. The article quickly introduced a waiting time period for legal immigrants to receive later benefits such as Medicaid, etc. and that waiting period is “five years” (Abascal, Para 2). It really doesn't make any sense for legal immigrants to wait that long, which shows how divide the United State is to its residents when it comes to resources. However, since they are not American citizens, I can understand the difference, but everyone’s health matters.

The problem with healthcare is that it's too expensive. Most people can't afford it and many illegal immigrants are taking advantage of America’s health care program by applying for jobs that provide free health care they are exploiting the systems. Then they are taking up most of the jobs and health care for people who needs it the most. Then the current health care program is too complicated for people to comprehend and properly understand, and people are being under and over cared for.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was the first step that the United States takes in order to provide greater access to health care coverage, reduce health care spending rate, and improve the quality of service. Ever since the implantation of the ACA, millions of Americans were able to have access to health care coverage. However, the ACA fails to include the undocumented immigrants. Compared with other immigrant group in the United States, undocumented immigrants have lower rates of health insurance coverage. The studies shows that undocumented Latinos were less likely to check their health and they report that “blood pressure being check in the past 2 years and cholesterol checked in the past 5 years. There was 40% reported that reported receiving

Not having healthcare is awful not only because every human gets sick but because we need to get checked up by a doctor on a regular basis. Healthcare should be something that individuals and families should be provided with already because of the hard work they put in while they are working. Especially the ones who work in horrendous working conditions such as the ones who work in the field during the day. Undocumented individuals receive no type of healthcare benefits when they do one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs out in the world. If universal health care is established many people will benefit from this, the economy will boost up because people will be healthy and with a lot more effort. But if people do

In 2010, ANA released a brief stating their stance on access to health care for both documented and undocumented immigrants residing in the states. In the brief, the group asserts that health care is a basic human right. They state that “immigrants, whether documented or not, should have access to quality health care including the opportunity to purchase insurance” (Godfrey, 2010). Undocumented immigrants do not seek medical assistance to manage chronic illness for fear of deportation and cost. This means their health status will continue to deteriorate and the cost to provide treatment will skyrocket. “Limiting adequate health care leads to increases in health care costs and possible health risks” (Godfrey, 2010). At this time, this population is only eligible to apply for charity care at local acute care facilities and one time only emergency Medicaid, burdening the taxpayer. Allowing people to purchase their own health insurance will lower the cost in health care (Godfrey,

For many illegal aliens, seeking healthcare is undermined by the fear of being deported. Many would rather suffer through an illness or injury than seek care for fear that they will be sent back to Mexico. Unfortunately, but the time that they finally get to a point where it is absolutely necessary to obtain care, the cost of that care has become a much larger figure than it would have been had they obtained care sooner.

There have been legislative bills that have limited the access that illegal immigrants have to medical care, whether it be private insurance or with federal help such as state funded resources like Medical. For example the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 restricts medical care for illegal immigrants. Jeffrey Kullgren a medical student at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, argues that having severe limitations on health care services threatens the public’s health. He argues that the original purposes of the act were to reduce illegal immigration and preserve resources yet the act burdens health care providers and endangers the public’s health. The act stated that it was made in order to “remove the incentive for illegal immigration” and so that “individual aliens not burden the public benefits system”. These were the argument made in order to place eligibility restrictions for service made available by the local, state and federal governments. Although there were exceptions to the act, such as being able to get emergency care and immunizations, it still made getting proper health care very difficult. Placing these kinds of restrictions on people Kullgren argues has consequences on health. One is that it leads to greater waiting times and increase cost which reduces the efficiency of medical facilities. Another is that it can affect the lives of the American born children of immigrants. Although they are able to receive medical services, their parents are afraid to seek health care because they believe that they can get deported. Or they are not sure of whether their children are able to get medical coverage. Another negative result due to the act, Kullgren states, is that public resources are not being effectively used. It costs more to treat emergency situations that could have been easily prevented or that could have

A majority of illegal immigrants don’t have health insurance, which means they are taking advantage of public services in some form. The intent of illegal immigrants may be great – they may be here to work, to contribute, to build a better life. But adding a huge pool of unskilled immigrants without legal working papers sets up a huge mess. By closing the border, we will decrease the amount of illegal workers and this will give us more time to get the illegal immigrants who are now in America back to where they

With the economy of the United States in shambles, illegal immigration and the effects it has on health care can no longer be ignored. America has a whole needs to be concerned and well informed of the issues rather than collecting information piecemeal by way of media or other biased groups. If illegal immigration stays its present course the American tax-payer will continue to fund the well being of individuals who have broken federal rules and regulations and are being supported by law abiding citizens. This argument is not about individual rights to live and prosper. It is not about race or discrimination of any sort. It is only about the effects on health care that I am addressing.

America needs comprehensive health care reform, and immigrants should be a part of the movement.  But many American citizens might ask that pertinent question: why should they cover the expense for illegal immigrants to access health care?  The answer is plain and simple: until congress passes immigration laws that work, people are going to migrant here illegally.  And to deny migrants access to affordable health care, Americans are not only denying them their human right, they are also putting individual and national health at risk.  I believe that this country – which has the medical advancements and the facilities to ensure the health of its citizens – should reach out to its non-citizens, legal and illegal, until it

“Under Obama’s 2012 and 2014 executive actions, which would make temporary immigration reprieve available to up to 5.2 million undocumented immigrants (about 45 percent of the undocumented population), their state and local tax contributions would increase by an estimated $845 million a year once fully in place”.( Pianin).That means if the federal government support undocumented immigrants by providing health coverage to them is like supporting this country’s

having access to health services, illegal immigrants would be able to live a more comfortable and secure life, as well as the whole community around them. Lack of follow-ups, such as tuberculosis, AIDS/HIVS, and untreated mental issues could result being life-threating. As we know, many illegal immigrants that come to the United States are

Regardless of how important basic healthcare is to undocumented immigrants, there are parts of group that disagree with equal access to healthcare for everyone in the U.S. In America, all the social benefits that were granted to individuals are from the tax dollar that people pay each year. The tax dollars are the money that are being deducted from each paycheck of an individual worker and the money will be in return of government subsidy and benefits. When there were more people immigrated to the country but less or the same amount of people joining the workforce to contribute to the system, there would not be enough money to satisfy everyone’s need. According to “U.S. Taxpayers Should Not Have to Pay for Illegal Immigrants’ Healthcare” that

Imagine sailing on a boat with some crew mates. Everyone is asleep and you fall into the water after leaning too far over the side of the ship. Unable to get help, you swim until you find an island, thinking you will be able to hunt there. But instead, the tables are turned. You become the hunted. In Richard Connell’s short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” he uses to literary elements suspense, conflict, and setting to pull the reader into the story and make them feel as if they are actually living out all of the events of the story themselves. Without these literary elements, the story would be uneventful, dull, and boring. Richard Connell does a fantastic job of using literary elements in his writing to make a fast-paced and eventful story
