Should Illegal Immigrants Get Away

Superior Essays
Imagine a family, who originated from Syria, travels to the United States of America to seek refuge. Their country is in poverty and under extreme acts of terrorism. The family left that horrible place because it was not safe to live there. They decided to start a new life in the United States of America. Consequently, the American government wants to send them home to protect its citizens, because the government considers the illegal aliens dangerous. The family is then sent back to their country, where they perish because of the poverty and terrorist attacks in the country. Immigration is a controversy that arises in everyday life. Some citizens believe the immigrants should stay, whereas some citizens believe that the immigrants should …show more content…
The illegal aliens, however, left Syria to get away from all the terrorism. They would not endanger the lives of Americans, because that would make them no better than their dictators. If the illegal aliens flee their country to seek refuge in America, The Immigration Center will be a place where all illegal immigrants can stay and learn how to become an American resident or how to live in the American society. Americans will complain that the illegal aliens are stealing job opportunities that unemployed Americans could have. Most Americans, however, do not want some jobs. So, The Immigration Center can teach the illegal aliens how to be skillful at the unwanted jobs and they can do those jobs instead of taking job opportunities from those unemployed Americans looking for a job. Lastly, Americans will complain that they have a “birth- right citizenship”, and illegal aliens should not even be considered citizens, (“Is Birthright Citizenship”). America is the “Land of Opportunity” and should, therefore, allow anyone who wants citizenship to the United States to be able to become an American

    Today, whether illegal or legal, immigration is becoming more common in the United States. Many civilians living in developing countries south of the border have motives they are faced with that lure and make them want to enter the United States. As an example, in the “Heartache of an Immigrant Family,” by Sonia Nazario a single mother named Lourdes Pineda, living in Honduras left for the U.S. illegally in hopes of finding stable work to provide for her children with an equivalent amount of food, education, and clothing. As well as Lourdes, “In Trek North, First Lure Is Mexico’s Other Line,” Randal Archibald, again a mother named, Elvira López Hernández traveled to the United States illegally to provide for her four-year-old daughter.

    Senate Bill 1070 is an Arizona Law that requires the Arizona police to check the immigration record on people they pull over. If the immigration position does not say they are from the U.S. they will be transported back to the country that they have come to America from. Many people disagree about this as it is invading people’s privacy. A lot of people that come illegally to America don't even pay the taxes they should. Also, most of the youth that come to America illegally end up most of the time joining dangerous gangs.…

    Even though businesses will knowingly hire undocumented immigrants, it will be the government’s duty to arrest individuals and close down businesses to avoid this from happening again. and This will help decrease the amount of illegal immigrants that apply or work for these businesses because these immigrants will not have the required documents needed for the job and would not have the obligatory papers to stay in the U.S. This would then allow Americans more jobs in businesses in the U.S. thus decreasing illegal immigrants in the United States as well because then they would not have jobs which would accommodate for their homes, food, clothing, children, and etc. The U.S. can increase the number of jobs for Americans by expanding I-9 audits which attacks individuals who have profited from hiring illegal immigrants, in which both the illegal immigrants and those who employed them will be penalized. This will lead to the reduction of illegal immigrants because these inspections will make sure that illegal immigrants are not hired since these illegal immigrants will not want to be arrested or caught by the government.…

    They are misguided. Admitting the talent we need would consist of only letting in highly skilled workers that can help boost America's economy. This tactic is not good. On page four of the Unit Two Writing Task, the author claims that "Admitting...numbers of newcomers...drains poor countries of many of the most educated, highly skilled workers. This "brain drain" only adds to the challenge in poor countries of meeting the needs of their own populations.…

    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.

    The most interesting aspect of Americans is their unwillingness to recognize the people they once were. The topic of immigration in the United States alone has been around for centuries. It seems almost impossible to find common ground on the situation and many people are even reluctant to speak about it. One-side views immigrants as a liability, while the other side views them as a means to boost the economy and help the government. Whether seen as a hindrance to one party or as a source of profit to the other, immigrants deserve their spot in America.…

    Reducing the inflow of unqualified illegal immigrants will allow for hard working Americans to get their job back in order to make a living. Immigrants are driving US wages down and taking jobs that U.S. citizens would usually have. “Low-skill native-born Americans are dropping out of the workforce in record numbers, and those jobs are being filled with immigrants under an unspoken practice by government and business leaders eager for cheaper labor instead of helping get Americans back to work, according to a new study”(Bedard). The increase of immigrants in the United States that serve as part of the workforce causes the price companies pay to their workers go down, resulting in the lowering of wages that we see today. The majority of immigrants are not highly skilled but are still hired for jobs because they are satisfied with being paid less than the average U.S. citizen.…

    Notably, since the 1990’s illegal immigration has become an immense crisis for America. In fact, roughly twelve million illegal immigrants live in the United States. Unfortunately there are people in this country that believe illegal immigration is ok, and that Americans are just complaining about illegal immigration. However, the people who complain that illegal immigration is wrong are the people who are right. The twelve million illegal immigrants cause large amounts of trouble in America, because the cost to care for them is extremely expensive, their commitment of crime is high, and the deportation costs are minimal.…
