Immigration has always been an issue that many people in the United States are worried about. Since many years ago, the immigration rate has been increasing and policies are being created to “solve” the problems that immigration have on the system of the country. However, these issues are not receiving the attention that they should, and this causes the government to take actions that do not benefit the country. Many citizens are also not focusing on the problems that the decisions of the government over immigration are causing. There are things that are being effective with undocumented people in the country like economy which has being helped by foreigners and is very known that this people come and start working at the jobs that are available,

However, they are not looking at the benefits that this is bringing to the country and the economy. One instance of that is when in The Immigration Debate says, “The flip side of the government services argument involves contributions to the United States economy. As mentioned above, much of what undocumented workers earn is cycled back into the economy via their purchases and their low wages, which cut prices for American consumers” (Wallace, Kretman and Strogatz 1). People that probably do not have a permit to work are in some way helping the economy of the United States by buying the stuff that is being sold here. It has been said that most of the money that foreigners earn are sent back home to their countries but, they are still contributing to the US economy in different ways. For example, many of the undocumented people have to pay high amount of rent, bills, insurance for a car, and there are still those that pay taxes. Many times undocumented people are paying taxes but are not receiving the benefits that many American citizens are. One instance of that is when in the American Immigration Council says, “The states receiving the most tax revenue from households headed by unauthorized immigrants were California ($2.7 billion), Texas ($1.6 billion), Florida ($806.8 million), New York …show more content…
For example, The United States Immigration System should give the guests the opportunity that after a amount of time they are able and qualify to become permanent residents. Since the US is very diverse, it would be very fair that the program gives the chance for people to eventually be more part of the society of the United States. Other way to make this program better is as Mary Bauer says “Congress should provide a federal cause of action allowing all guestworkers to enforce their contracts”. By doing this, people from other countries that are coming to work here temporarily are going to be able to enforce their rights, to defend themselves from the abuses that they may be exposed to it, when they come to a country they know little about. With this action, the program would be successful and more helpful for those that need these opportunities. Also, the United States Guest Worker Program should change to Permanent Work Opportunities Program. If this happens, the United States and people from others countries would receive benefits from it. For example, foreigners would have to pay taxes that are reasonable, and if they become permanent workers the economy of the U.S would have a permanent incentive of money to it. It seems like a very good change because the government can do anything to try to stop undocumented people to come, but, it would not be a
