Ending DACA Should our government send immigrants that came to our country illegally back to where they came from? Fair states how many immigrants have came to our country. Fair also, tells how many jobs they take from the American citizens. Also how much money does the American taxpayer have to pay to house, clothe and feed them? There are approximately 12.5 million illegal immigrants in the United States. All countries have rules and regulations to follow so why is our nation keeping illegal immigrants that broke our laws. On average how much money do taxpayers have to pay for illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. well, American taxpayers have to pay $3 billion dollars. “ In 2013, FAIR estimated the total cost to be approximately $113 billion. So, in under four years, the cost has risen nearly $3 billion.” (Fair,1). This reveals that U.S taxpayers have to pay $3 billion dollars to give them a place to live, to pay for their health care, and to clothe them. This is money that should have went to schools and hospitals and kids in need instead that money is going toward someone that came here illegally. …show more content…
Illegal immigrants are taking jobs from American citizens.
This is not speculation. This is a fact. It is estimated that at least 8.5 million American jobs are held by illegal immigrants alone. “ FAIR's estimate of the number of illegal aliens in the workforce — using the share estimate of the Pew study — is similarly slightly higher, i.e., about 8.5 million jobs encumbered by illegal alien worker (Fair,2). This means the 8.5 million Americans could be in those positions. Instead, illegal immigrants take those much needed positions from the U.S citizens. Which in return drives up the unemployment rates and makes it harder for those unemployed to provide the necessities for their
families. Shouldn’t all immigrants obtain citizenship legally? DACA keeps illegal immigrants from being deported through deferred legislation in the House and Senate, which has to be approved every two years. It also does not provide them a pathway to become a legal citizen. Instead, it just prolongs the problem and gives them a loophole. “ DACA keeps recipients from being deported through deferred action, which has to be approved every two years, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. It does not provide lawful status or a path to citizenship.” (Fortune) This reveals that DACA doesn't solve the problem Instead, it makes it worse because it never makes them legal citizens. Other countries would never permit Americans to enter their borders illegally. They would never provide food, clothing, jobs and healthcare to them. They would be lucky if they would let Anericans live. The opposing argument believes that DACA is good because it allows dreamers to obtain driver’s licenses, enroll in college, find legal employment and pay income taxes. People believe this because they think they should help others. Witch they should help others out but, illegal immigrants don’t help the U.S citizens. Illegal immigrants take jobs from Americans, take money from American taxpayers and come here Illegally. In conclusion DACA is something the government should eliminate because it takes U.S jobs, burdans the taxpayer, over crowds our borders and is illegal. All country has rules and regulations the United states is no different because without rules is chaos
The United States has been known as the “Melting Pot ”and “The Land of Opportunity” for decades, but the title is slowly diminishing as scrutiny has been bombarding immigrants for wanting a better life. As questions arise of what is needed to protect the borders from possible terrorist other factors come into play such as what immigrants have to contribute to the country. Immigration is actually vital to our country since it provides the government more income, it brings the country a positive image, and DACA helps the community come together.
Immigrants. People who we natives have labeled as “aliens” and “foreigners” at a time when we should’ve welcomed them with open arms, when we should’ve embraced them with our compassion and considered them with our empathy. Isn’t this humanity? Treating others as we expect to be treated? But what have we done besides ostracizing them? Nothing. Despite the many benefits that they bring along with them, we insist on focusing all attention to the few temporary disadvantages that they have. In reality, if we natives had conducted the least bit of professional research of the benefits versus the disadvantages of immigrants, we would come to the realization that their benefits outweigh their costs, and that they are much more valuable to our society, then we expected them to be.
Among the problems that face our nation, illegal immigration seems to be one of the most regarded. “In 2005, there were 12.7 million people classified as refugees in the world. Refugees are forced to migrate because of danger in their own country.” (Cath Senker 12) Some push to end it while others want to have it legalized or less strict. There are many points that are argued on this topic. Although immigrants support the economy, they should have to pay taxes. Illegal immigration should be stopped or slowed until the legalization process and borders are improved. Due to the fact, that taxpayers are the backbone of our economy and nation as a whole.
They face many issues such as economic instability, depression, loneliness, fear of being alone and feeling betrayed. Children feel depressed in cases like this because even at a young age they know that things are not okay. They also suffer from fear and being betrayed, they suffer fear because they 're scared of what is going to happen to their family since they 're so used to having their family together. Many times children who face this situations feel like they’ve been betrayed because they don’t know why their mother or father have gone away and not came back. The psychologist mentions that it’s very normal for children to feel this way and conduct a different behaviour than usual because just like everyone else they don’t seem to understand
Allowing immigrants in the country needs to be viewed in terms of what they can add to the economy, not the burden. This is because undocumented immigrants’ contributions is very significant compared to the burden they bring to the United States as argued in some quarters. Most immigrants come to America with an intention to earn money and improve the living standards of their families. As such, the undocumented immigrants provides the economy with the most mobile and efficient pool of workers who are ready to work in a 24/7 economy (Becerra, Androff and Ayon 116). In addition, the U.S government needs to allow the undocumented
The policies implemented by the United States to strengthen the border and enforce immigration policies have led to the abuse and profiling of undocumented immigrants. Undocumented immigrants live in constant fear of deportation and are subjected to multiple human rights violations as they are abused, exploited and discriminated against. Immigrants are racialized and stereotyped. The US government has passed laws that discriminate against undocumented immigrants, making it harder for them to live and survive in America. These laws are due to the perception that undocumented immigrants are a burden on the US economy, but on the contrary undocumented immigrants provide an economic benefit to the US, and due to the benefit they provide society
During the 1900’s through 1950’s the United States experienced an influx of immigrants coming in from Mexico seeking employment opportunities, as many of them wanted to avoid the Mexican Revolution occurring from 1910 to 1920. Methods for arriving in the United States varied for each individual’s preference of the destination, but the means of transportation had been constant throughout. These methods of transportation consisted of contractors seeking unskilled workers willing to partake in hard labor in steel, railroad, or agriculture companies. Contractors traveled to towns close to Mexico’s boarder such as Laredo or El Paso seeking Mexicans citizens for labors. In some instances, immigrants traveled on their own will based on the advice
Homelessness poses a serious threat in all countries as people are exposed in an unsafe environment and try to live on change. “Do you have any spare change?” No I don’t have spare change, get a job you animal. We see people all over the streets holding signs and bringing their children to ask for change but during that whole time they could be doing something productive, like getting a job. Homelessness is a problem everywhere and its worse in other countries but here in America we have it rough. We have the means to fix homelessness with giving jobs to them in the fields of science and energy.
Immigration has been a problem for so many years. This issue began in the 19th century and yet is still a major problem in the U.S. Illegal immigrants don't have many rights living in the U.S. They have a hard life because they don't have the same opportunities as a u.s citizen has. Many of these people get treated unfairly simply because of the fact that they are illegal. There is cases where they have been treated aggressively by the authority. Everyone needs equality no matter where they are from. Most of these immigrants are latinos that come from central america. People from the united states are allowed to go and have a nice vacation in these places but yet those there have to cross a border and put their life at risk just to have a better life. Why do these people have to risk their lives in look for something better. The united states promises equality and this is what attracts others and its sad that they can’t come in legally without having to risk their lives. The ones that are here are working hard and most of them do no harm. Deportation should not be used on illegal immigrants.
There are currently 11.7 million immigrants living in the U.S. The United States is now again being named the land of immigrants. The new century has been introduced to the illegal immigrant. They are desperate to get into the American culture and are forced to disobey the laws of government to assimilate themselves in America. People come over because they have family, jobs or want a better life. This may cause some problems for Americans. Certain Americans believe immigration will cause the economy to drop, drop to wages, and job loss due to cheap labor, etc. But no one has thought of a solution for immigration that will work effectively.
Homelessness is not a disease. It is not a virus, not a condition, nor bacteria. Homelessness is a state where a person does not have a permanent residential. This includes people who live in shelters, motels and on the streets. They do not have homes because of the rising prices of housing. In New York City alone, 61,931 people are homeless as of September 2016. This is an epidemic in New York, not because of the sheer number of homeless people, but because of the lack of support from the local government. Homeless people are ignored by citizens, attacked by youth and abused by police officers. The New York Police Department even instituted Move Along Policy where homeless people who are idle for too long are forced to move their locations. This could be sitting on a bench for too long or falling asleep in a train station. So displaced citizens are not only homeless, but they are not allowed to reside in familiar locations without fear of being harassed by policemen. The youth of New York City find entertainment in harming homeless people. They would attack them, throwing bottles at them, hitting them, in hopes of knocking them unconcious. And these homeless people who do not have jobs often ask for money in the streets. And people just walk past them without even bothering with them. Because
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.
A common argument among those opposing further immigration is that foreigners take U.S. jobs and cause unemployment among the displaced American workers. In the July 13, 1992 edition of Business Week , a poll states that sixty-two percent of non-blacks and sixty-three percent of blacks agree that "new immigrants take jobs away from American workers." This is a widely held, if erroneous belief, among Americans. However, Julian L. Simon, author of The Economic Consequences of Immigration , states:
CITE That is a considerable amount of money. With this being said, I’d say that most of the immigrant’s money stays in the country although a portion of it does go beyond our borders. Despite immigrants contributing to our economy, there are other factors to this. Welfare programs and free medical insurance aren’t accessible to illegal immigrants due to their legal status, but they are to their children if they were born in the US. CITE Studies show that legal immigrants make more use of welfare programs, while illegal immigrants primarily benefit from food programs and Medicaid through their U.S.-born children. MULTIPLE CITE Many Americans disagree with the fact that children of illegal immigrants are getting benefits such as food stamps and Medicaid. Many Americans believe that illegal immigrants have children in the US and use them as “anchor babies”. CITE Problem such as these affect American laws. In this case, it would even affect the US Constitution. Some Americans believe that “birthright citizenship” should be denied to “anchor babies”. CITE However, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, therefore, denying citizenship to “anchor babies” would be unconstitutional. CITE In this case, I support the “anchor babies”. Although it is true that illegal immigrants make use of them to get economic benefits,
Illegal immigrants are makers, not takers. Many American citizens see these approximate 11 million illegal immigrants in a negative view and don’t want them living in their communities. However, many of these American citizens don’t know why illegal immigrants come here and what good they actually do to this country. Illegal immigration should be allowed because their quality of life is improved, they help the economy, and they bring job growth.
