    “Today, over 1 million immigrants enter our country legally per year, while the illegal population grows by about 500,000 per year” (William Gheen). Some Americans think it is a huge problem, while others believe they are people that deserve a chance at a better life. Either way, illegal immigration has been an ongoing problem in The United States since the late 1800’s. Originally, there were no laws on immigration until the U.S. began to grow rapidly, creating a problem. The government then passed laws prohibiting certain groups of people from entering the states, trying to reduce the number of people pouring into America.…

    Illegal Immigration is a very controversial subject and while some are truly against it, there are others who don't seem to mind. Even if the wall somehow decreased the flow of illegal immigrants crossing the border, what's to stop them from finding other ways of entering the country. This “Great Wall” only encompasses the country of Mexico; instead of illegal immigrants flowing from the south, will it come from Canada next? People from faraway continents have been illegally immigrating to the U.S. as early as the 1800's, possibly even earlier that. America has always been a land of opportunities where people could get a fresh start .…

    Border Protection Imagine yourself trying to cross the border every day just trying to make a better life for you and your family. Living on the streets and making four dollars an hour picking fruit off of trees is just not cutting it. You are trying to get by with the little resources you have found, but now that you are practically starving, you decide it is time to smuggle drugs. In the back of your mind you know filling out the VISA application to work here would be a smarter idea than trying to smuggle drugs into the United States illegally but you know it would only be a miracle if you ever got the opportunity to use a laptop. Either way, you know that making a few thousand in one trip is going to last your family a few months,…

    Additionally, health care providers and hospitals have to make difficult and challenging decisions about treatments for undocumented immigrants who are at the end of life stage or present with serious and numerous comorbidities. Like many U.S. citizens, undocumented immigrants’ health status is also affected by the social determinants of health but with one difference, not having federal and/or state public health programs to supplement or provide health care because of ineligibility. Ongoing and future federal and state legislation can help to promote health justice or further create injustices for this vulnerable population. Providing access to health care for immigrants regardless of documentation status can be seen from a social justice position as well as a public health one. Either position would benefit undocumented immigrants, improve community health, and prevent illness by being…

    Due to the lack of inspection of these individuals entering the United States, diseases that were once considered virtually eradicated, such as, tuberculosis, pertussis, malaria, measles, rubella and rabies are re-emerging along the borders of this country (Gilcrist, 2013). This is a major health concern, because health care providers often under diagnose these conditions, or do not recognize the signs and symptoms of these diseases, due to lack of training, since these diseases are not usually prevalent in this area (Gilcrist, 2013). This factor could allow for a serious outbreak, which poses an alarming threat to the safety of public health, since the undocumented are not granted health care access, unless due to emergency circumstances.

    Tuberculosis, a coughing disease, wasn’t brought into the United States until the late 1980s, which was carried by immigrants and refugees from Third World counties, (Gerdes, 24.) Immigrants have also helped circulate the HIV/AIDS virus, which can be treated, but not cured. The HIV/AIDS virus is deadly, and according to an article by the World Health Organization, 36.7 million people were living with HIV globally at the end of 2016, and 1 million lost their lives from it. The US knowingly admits between 700,000 and 900,000 immigrants per year; (Biddle, 11,) that’s almost a million foreigners entering our nation that could have HIV/AIDS or another disease that could be spread. If illegal immigrants are not allowed to become US citizens, less will enter the US; which prevents them from spreading diseases and harming our nation’s…
