In the article “Illegal Immigrants Do Not Harm America's Economy” the authors, Brian, Grow, et al used issues to portray current illegal circumstances in American, the situations which demonstrated the necessity of undocumented aliens. Although, the articles lacks of evidence from the other side, but it had a well organized structure and logical supporting evidence; however, the writers did create a remarkable view at the illegal refugees’ benefits on the economy for the others. In the article, Grow, et al was convinced that illegal immigration had always been the one had the most negatives comments over the last two decades. However, Grow, et al argue that unlawful settlers transpire a component of American’s economic cycle consequently of its society role. On one hand, the authors argue that illegal refugees had a major impact on the economic on the economy through its population and maintenance over the flow of the finical systems. Points are made, illegal refugees had become a market that is too larger to ignore. According to the authors, illegal refugees who are despaired to seek out for an enhanced living, will the contribute profits that are irresistible. Not only that, illegal refugees also help to paying tax for public serves. Furthermore, illegal refugees also assist lower the criminal rate. Finally. Grow, et al provide that illegal refugees dose not harm economy, but a great help to fix it. First, Grow, et al leaves out the negative insights about illegal setters. Throughout the article, authors present the ideal that majority of the natives accused illicit aliens triggered the downward slope of American’s financial cycle. However, authors did not provide any texture evidence that can convincingly argue that how u... ... middle of paper ... ...of the circumstances. In order to keep systems going, some of the states will even assist the illegal refugees to get another way around the law, so unlawful setters are able to work “legally”. Subsequently, American’s illegal aliens are the primary minimal pay work force within American. Brain dose a remarkable chore to confirm the obligation of illegal refugee through the reduced labor force it provides and its position on society. Although, the article is lacking of negative comments, but it had a well organized structure and logical evidence. Overall, Grow. ect did a remarkable chore at the conferment of the obligation provided by the illegal refugees. Disregarded, Illegal immigrants had already developed into a division of American’s finical cycle. I would recommend this article to anyone, especially those who stand on the different ground than the immigrants
Throughout the article, Orrenius and Zavodny try to stay unbiased throughout their article by using facts and statistics to mention both sides, the pros and cons, of each subtopic. They restate their main points and suggest ways in which the United States can improve their economy while satisfying its natives and foreign-born population. Although they stay unbiased for a majority of their paper, Zavodny and Orrenius use some of their opinions in the suggested reform and the conclusion paragraph. The author’s gain the audiences’ confidence to place their opinion in the last two paragraphs because they were able to give enough information throughout the article to support it. Because this article is an academic journal, it adds to Orrenius and Zavodny’s credibility because it shows that they hold expertise in the field of economics with an emphasis on the research of immigration. Orrenius, an Assistant Vice President and Senior Economist, and Zavodny, a Professor of Economics, may be perceived by their audience as successful and knowledgeable making them a person of
Considering the ideas that both authors have brought to the table, I have concluded that in order to make progress in solving the problem of undocumented immigrants, we as a country must decide what’s best for our country. We either look at undocumented immigrants as an asset or a parasite. America is the ‘land of opportunity’ where millions of people want to live there and pursue the ‘American Dream’. We should not let people stop from achieving their dreams. But on the other hand, a quantity of immigrants leave their country because it does not have “stable democracies and free markets” that “ensure economic growth, rising standards of living and thus, lots of jobs”, because the countries of these immigrants “birth rates and native populations fall”.
In the U. S today, the approximated population of undocumented immigrants stands at averagely 11 million. Therefore, this has created a hot debate in Congress about the action to take over the undocumented immigrants. Those opposed to illegal immigrants suggest that, their stay in the United States effects U.S citizens on the job market negatively . In addition, illegal immigrants are viewed in certain quarters as takers in the sense that illegal immigrants benefit more from public resources than the american-born citizens of the U.S. However, the reality is that immigrants contribute positively to the U.S economy and pay significantly into the system compared to what they send back home. In addition, the contributions associated with undocumented immigrants involve sustaining the solvency of the SSTF (Social Security Trust Fund). In this sense, the use of cost benefit analysis by those supporting immigration restrictions are unfounded and do not reflect the facts on the ground (Nadadur 1037). The opponents of undocumented immigrants believe that having more undocumented immigrants in the U.S is costly; however, there are no solid reasons to prove that undocumented immigrants are a burden to the treasury. Instead, the undocumented immigrants play an important role in boosting the economy and in particular by taking up jobs those citizens perceive as demeaning because the money they earn goes back to the economy through taxes resulting from consumer spending when they send money back home.
This paper will discuss the arguments for and against immigration within the United States addressing topics related to employment, healthcare, increased poverty and increased country revenue. I am against immigration because I believe it is out of control and it...

In 2007, the White House issued this statement in hopes to influence a Congressional debate: “Immigration has a positive effect on the American economy as a whole and on the income of native-born American workers” (Pear). This statement relates to the idea that immigrants actually enhance the productivity of American workers and increase their earnings in a significant amount, estimated at $37 billion a year (Pear). This is just one way in which immigrants support economic development in the United States. Since the U.S. is an i...
The United States cannot afford to lose the economic gains that come from immigrant labor. The economy would be suffering a greater loss if it weren’t for immigrants and their labor contributions, especially during the 2008 U.S. recession. The U.S. economy would most likely worsen if it weren’t for the strong labor force immigrants have provided this country. Despite the mostly negative views native-born Americans have towards immigrants and the economy, their strong representation in the labor forces continues today. Immigrants aren’t taking “American” jobs, they are taking the jobs that Americans don’t want (Delener & Ventilato, 2008). Immigrants contribute to various aspects of the economy, including brining valuable skills to their jobs, contributing to the cost of living through taxes, and the lacked use of welfare, healthcare, and social security when compared to native-born Americans, showing that the United States cannot afford to lose the contribution immigrants bring into the economy.
The issue of undocumented immigrants has been a huge debate in the 2016 Presidential Debate. The increase in undocumented immigrants to the US has Americans scared that the increase is more like an invasion, but there are so many other reasons on why it is better to keep our undocumented immigrant population than deport them. The fact they better our economy, by taking low end jobs, or increasing our GDP per capita by 4% is a great place to start(). Most Americans say that deporting the undocumented immigrants is in America’s best interest, but in reality, the undocumented immigrants help America and even Americans themselves.
On contemporary society, immigration reform is enjoying an increasingly high voice among people. American immigration system is broken. Too many employers take advantage of the system by hiring undocumented workers which currently are estimated at 11 million. This is not good for the economy nor the country. Imaging a day without these undocumented workers in United States. No bus driver, farm worker, cooker, nurse, construction worker, waiter, house keeper, gardener or nanny can be found. Nobody drive bus, pick fruit, wash dishes, build houses, clean offices or take care of babies. It is not difficult for us to imagine that because these low skill workers have vanished. Chaos and tragedy ensue. The question about whether all nations should open their borders and so we could roam freely, or we should enhance immigration controls is a sophisticated issue. According to the journal article "The new common sense", the author Teresa Hayter declared that the freedom of movement should be the new common sense for immigrants to make big contributions to the wealth and prosperity of the countries they go to. People should have their own right to move freely. The abolition of immigration controls would mean increase in freedom, prosperity and opportunities for all of us.
Recently, the U.S. government has been cracking down on illegal aliens and employers are in danger of raids and lawsuits for hiring illegal immigrants. Many employers either do not require any documentation or accept copies of documents (Rousmaniere 24-25), regarding legalization. Immigrants are desired employees and companies continue to hire them even with the risks. By working for lower wages, they keep the costs of goods and services down; the illegal alien work force helps improve the U.S. economy (Nadadur 1037-1052). However, illegal immigrants can have a negative effect when they encroach on American job opportunities (Carter 8). Some economists argue that illegal aliens actually help the host-country’s economy by adding to the labor force. However, other economists state that too many illegal...

The United States of America, being a country founded by immigrants, is known all over the world as the land of great opportunities. People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family. Over the years, the population of immigrants has grown immensely, resulting in the currently controversial issue of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are the people who have overstayed the time granted on their US, visa or those who have broken the federal law by crossing the border illegally. Matt O’Brien stated in his article “The government thinks that 10.8 million illegal immigrants lived in the country in January 2009, down from a peak of nearly 12 million in 2007.”(Para, 2) While some argue that illegal immigrants burden the United States of America and its economy, others believe that they have become essential and are an important part of the US, economy.
The current effects of immigration throughout the United States has had a negative impact on its economy. Whether foreigners are legal permanent immigrants or illegal occupants, nations must diligently keep track of all individuals. This is a brief analysis on how immigrants impact the U.S and strategies to minimize their effects on this nation. In addition, the U.S must implement and monitor plans of action to lessen unemployment of citizens and reduce the excessive use of benefits and resources by immigrants.
Immigration has played a major role in the economy of the United States, creating both deficits and surpluses in the U.S. economy. Arguments have been made that immigration brings more negative effects to the United States economy than it does positive, whereas on the other hand, people claim that immigrants have taken a major weight of the economy of the U.S. and has even allowed the economy to make significant growths. Considering the fact that the total accountable population of the U.S. is said to be made up of approximately 13% of immigrants, many arguments have been made for and against the entrance of immigrants into the United States. Immigration has effects upon the work force, the living conditions, the poverty rates, and other contributing
Although crime and terrorism has increased because of the absence of carrying out immigration policy, illegal immigration has caused the most effect on the economy. Most people think that illegal immigrants make the country more efficient and do jobs that U.S. citizens do not want to do. Although the truth is that these illegal immigrants are taking legal citizens jobs. As
