Essay IV: Immigration in the United States
Immigration is the act of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. Immigrants leave their homeland for different reasons. There are many factors. In the United States for many years, the majority of Americans have supported immigration. The United States Immigration system has become more complicated in recent years but also more diverse than it was fifty years ago. Now there are a lot more screenings going on for protection purposes especially since 9/11. America still has not surpassed its peak in the “1890’s of 14.8 percent of the nation’s ‘population’” and we are still over a whole percent lower because even though the population is …show more content…
First of all, they are “taxpayers,” and that is part of the reason that “they add trillions of dollars to the gross domestic product (GDP)” to the United States (Nicholson). They are workers which makes them a taxpayer according to Michael Nicholson. If the United States did what is called “mass deportation” they would lose a great deal of money and go even farther into federal debt which would be more than 20 trillion dollars. A mass deportation is a massive transportation of people from out of the country who traveled to the United States to escape their homeland; they are normally sent back to their homeland unless it is unsafe. If it is unsafe or there is an environmental situation where they cannot go back they will either halt a specific group from being deported or bring them somewhere near enough to their homeland where it is stable and clear of any disasters. The problem with completing a mass deportation is that it costs money that the federal, state and local government does not possess. So, if they are planning on doing any construction, the United States-Mexico border that is almost 2,000 miles long, anytime soon then they are going to need as much money they can possess. Each mile out of almost 2,000 miles of the United States-Mexico border would cost “between $2.8 million and $3.9 million per mile” and finished the rest of the border would cost around “66.9 billion” dollars (Nicholson). If they were to try and follow through with a mass deportation, then they would lose “900 billion” dollars in addition to the “4.7 trillion” dollars they would receive from working immigrants, and that would all be within a “span of 10 years” (Nicholson). If President Trump wants to finish what he has promised for the wall to have built, then he going to need to have money from somewhere. At this point, it would not make sense to conduct a mass deportation because extra money is useful to the United States if they plan on
