“Illegal Aliens”
There are roughly 300 million people living in the United States; out of those 300 million, around 11 million of them came to the U.S. undocumented and with dreams. Dreams of getting a job, dreams of being able to live comfortably monetary wise, and the most important dream-- The American dream. Around half of those immigrants are of Hispanic descent. These people come with plans of living here for most, if not the rest of their life. They do not want to cause any trouble, instead they came here wanting to work for their lifestyle to become sustainable. Obviously not all immigrants are perfect; some immigrants come with intentions of smuggling drugs, buying weapons, and in some cases, trafficking humans. Only a minimal amount …show more content…
since the median time they stay is around 13 years(CAP). 62% of undocumented immigrants have been living in the United States for at least 10 years, while 88% of immigrants have lived here at least 5 years(CAP). Obviously, immigrants do not sit around or leech off of taxpayer money. In 2010, 8.4 million undocumented immigrants were employed accounting for 5.2% of the labor class, even though they are only part of 3.7% of the population(CAP). Even though this is a good thing for immigrants to empower the working class, people will complain that immigrants are robbing actual citizens of their jobs. If an immigrant who does not speak English fluently and has little or no connections in the United States can get a job, what is stopping an actual citizen to acquire a job? An immigrant will not take a job that requires a college education considering only half have a high school diploma or higher and the average education level is that of a 10th grader. Immigrants, at most will increase the unemployment rate by a mere 0.1% but this will be short term and is only a result of sudden growth in the work force. What happened to, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door(Lazarus).” We based our country off of immigration and now we deny a person with good …show more content…
More importantly, not deporting over 11 million people is the morally right thing to do. These newcomers usually start a family here and millions of their children are US citizens. Family is a core value in America, and deporting illegals will split up millions of families. What will a child feel if they see their parents being taken away by an ICE agent? Did they even deserve to be deported in the first place? Sending people to their, “home land” Earth is our home land;it belongs to every life form on this planet. In conclusion, any migrant coming to the US with good ambitions, willing to pay taxes, with a clean criminal record that may or not have a family should be given what they properly deserve-- legal
