Stop Deportation of Illegal Immigrants

1317 Words3 Pages

Illegals, Aliens, Undocumented (however you wish to call them) are often viewed as a burden to America. But are they really? Are American conscious of the contributions that “Illegal Aliens” bring to this country? “Illegal Aliens” have stimulated enormous economic wealth to this country. It is now the time to recognize those hard working underpaid immigrants and grant them the reform they deserved after so many years of being a shadow. I call to action an immediate immigration reform NOW! Anti-illegals and Pro- amnesty Organizations Missions There are many organizations, interest groups, coalitions who oppose an immigration reform. These anti-immigration groups, share common positions, they feel that immigrants pose a threat to them they could be terrorist, drug dealers and criminals; they also worry about the use of public help from the government which they pay (Messerli, n.d.). Anti-illegals claim that illegal aliens pose a national security risk, and that immigrants affect the wages of U.S legal workers (Introduction to Immigration Reform: The Ongoing Debate, 2006). Anti-illegals are not willing to give in to any type of reform; they feel that it would only magnetize more illegals to the country, in a cycle that never ends. However, Pro-amnesty activist have a completely different position, from Anti-illegals, Pro- amnesty discuss how a reform would be a great contribution to U.S economy. They feel that America is a diverse cultural place and should be accepting of other who came to look for a better opportunity, and that this land symbolizes a land of dreams. They support illegal aliens for desiring a better life for them and their families. Activists are in full support and pursing a fair reform for all the undocumented ... ... middle of paper ... ...lack of education and skills their income is still very low (Cort Kirkwood, 2012). It is out of necessity that they look for additional help, I know some illegal people that use food stamps benefits, but they are ashamed to use them. In their culture this is view as something bad so they only apply when really necessary. Unlike other born citizens that I know of the abuse of government assistance programs by reporting false information and not working as illegals do. As you can see illegals are not a burden to citizens like they claim illegals are, instead they help citizens. Pro undocumented activist seeking a Comprehensive Reform How would it work, what would be the benefits are the methods ethical and would they work? Why is a reform needed? As the nation is in a bad economic crisis, a reform is needed to create a stronger and more successful united Country.

  • Addressing the Problem of Illegal Immigration

    1011 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is said that immigrants come to this country for a better life, then that is what they should try to do for themselves. In most cases they just end up working low-paying, dead end jobs. If you come to america for a better life then you should put forth the effort to better yourself rather than just barely scraping by. Most immigrants tend to work the manual labor jobs that do not require a lot of other human interaction. “ While U.S. government mounds its huge effort to stop people from entering the country illegally, many American employers continually show their eagerness to give them jobs.” (Crest 72) Many immigrants use government assistance such as welfare and food stamps. Immigrants using government assistance tends to anger people because they feel like illegals are using the taxes that they pay to live their life while not paying taxes on their own. Trump suggests building a wall but I do not believe that will work very well at warding off the influx of immigrants, they will find other ways of entering our great country. Some argue that immigrants do the jobs that most Americans would not want to do themselves, at a much lower pay rate. Often illegals are paid under the minimum wage because employers do not have to register them as employees. Many illegals are often seen working in the construction business, gardening, roofing, concrete work, house cleaning, etc. This is because most of those are hard work or thought of as blue collar work that often does not pay enough to support a family. This being, they often have to work more than the average native born

  • Comprehensive Immigration Reform Essay

    2798 Words  | 6 Pages

    Obama Administration proposed what is called Comprehensive Immigration Reform. It is composed of six sections aimed at fixing the current immigration system. It includes enhanced border enforcement, interior enforcement and the most controversial section; an amnesty program to legalize undocumented immigrants. In other words, it creates a pathway to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants that is fair and feasible. Many argue that even though Comprehensive Immigration Reform is good for America because it addresses important issues like creating a committee to adopt the number of visas available to changing economic times, preventing people from working without permits and creating programs aimed at helping immigrants adjust to life in America. Yet it rewards violators of current U.S. laws who entered the country illegally, and those who entered the country legally but overstayed their visas. Opponents of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform proposal claim that immigrants have a negative impact on the economy; overwhelming social services of many states, and posing a threat to American workers as a result of big corporations exploiting immigrants with low wages and poor working conditions. With the recent economic downturn and the severe recession that hit the U.S, many individuals blame immigrants for their economic misfortune and lack of employment. For both the opponents and proponents of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Proposal, for the millions of the undocumented immigrants and their families, and lawmakers; immigration has become an emotional political issue. Despite the resistance of many, America should embrace comprehensive immigration reform.

  • America Needs More Immigrants

    833 Words  | 2 Pages

    America is sometimes referred to as a "nation of immigrants" because of our largely open-door policy toward accepting foreigners pursuing their vision of the American Dream. Recently, there has been a clamor by some politicians and citizens toward creating a predominantly closed-door policy on immigration, arguing that immigrants "threaten" American life by creating unemployment by taking jobs from American workers, using much-needed social services, and encroaching on the "American way of life." While these arguments may seem valid to many, they are almost overwhelmingly false, and more than likely confused with the subject of illegal immigration. In fact, immigrants actually enhance American life by creating, not taking jobs, bolster social service funds through tax payments, and bring valuable technical knowledge and skills to our country. If we are to continue to excel as a nation, the traditionalists who fear an encroachment of foreign-born Americans must learn to accept that we achieved our greatness as a result of being "a nation of immigrants."

    Immigration has been a problem for so many years. This issue began in the 19th century and yet is still a major problem in the U.S. Illegal immigrants don't have many rights living in the U.S. They have a hard life because they don't have the same opportunities as a u.s citizen has. Many of these people get treated unfairly simply because of the fact that they are illegal. There is cases where they have been treated aggressively by the authority.

People from the united states are allowed to go and have a nice vacation in these places but yet those there have to cross a border and put their life at risk just to have a better life.

    Innocent or Not? Illegaly immigrated children who were part of the Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals program(DACA) better known as dreamers are facing threats of deportation unjustly. DACA was a program created by Barack Obama in 2012 which delayed deportation for 2 years , had renewals, and allowed dreamers the right to live ,study and work in America,as long as they passed the background check. They also had to have come to the U.S before turning 16,and are younger than 31 when they apply.

Dreamers do not deserve this treatment and it should not even be considered for them to be deported.

I see on the news that many people are getting deported and makes me highly upset because my parents could be in that position one day. My parents came here when they were in their teens.
