known to generalize based on stereotypes and mere conceptions. Notably, the phrase most Americans throw around, “they are here to take our jobs,” contributes to drawing conclusions. Firstly, I deem the phrase as a meaningless justification on why illegal immigrants should not be here. Whose jobs are being taken?

6 million children under the age of 18 in the United States (“NUMBER OF CHILDREN…”). Of those 73.6 million children, 5.5 million of them have at least one parent that is an illegal or undocumented immigrant in the United States (Cohn and Passel). That is 13% of the children in the United States.
