I am for undocumented workers because their the ones really doing all the hard jobs for less money because they don't have any papers but also they should be able to work at better places because how would we like it if we were them. We wouldnt like to get under payed for some of the hardest jobs to work for because it's back breaking work that a lot of them do to support their families. Alot of these undocumented workers work out in the fields where it is really hot and they really don't got any breaks they need just work until their shift is over. I think this helps the economy though because i don't know many people that would want to take back breaking jobs when their already have better things i'm not saying that undocumented workers don't have other better things to do but they can't really get better jobs than that because they are undocumented workers but they have to start off some way right? After years in the us undocumented workers can apply to get their papers to stay in the U.S. My …show more content…
wouldn't want to do like landscaping and working in the crop fields. Undocumented workers made up 3.5% of the population in 2009. There were only about 2.7 million unauthorized workers that had a green card and there were about 11.3 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. alone. The reason why they come to the U.S. is to work and have a chance at life and to have a good life because where a lot of these undocumented workers are coming from is where their is no government the people with the guns, drugs and money are the government there are no police where they come from the police can't help them. There are no jobs where they come from or when their is jobs you really work for nothing because you get paid almost nothing and how are they gunna support their families getting paid nothing that is why they come to work in the U.S. because they want a chance to
While tangible reasons exists for the need to cut on undocumented immigration, the benefits that illegal immigrants bring to the U.S economy still surpass the arguments against providing undocumented immigrants with legal status. The undocumented immigrants are found in all sectors of the U.S economy and their input needs to be recognized by providing them with legal status to work and improve the economy. They in fact, add circulation to the economy and many benefits that most of american-borns don’t see.
Undocumented immigrants are not legally permitted to work in the United states. The undocumented immigrants tend to get jobs that have low payment occupation like farming, and cleaning services. This jobs are where their legal status is less likely to be discovered. (Lynch and Oakford) Undocumented immigrants are now free to get the jobs deserve base on their skills. For example, an undocumented immigrants have a job like a cleaning service, but his or her skills are beyond that. After the legalization, he or she will have chance to apply for the higher
They face many issues such as economic instability, depression, loneliness, fear of being alone and feeling betrayed. Children feel depressed in cases like this because even at a young age they know that things are not okay. They also suffer from fear and being betrayed, they suffer fear because they 're scared of what is going to happen to their family since they 're so used to having their family together. Many times children who face this situations feel like they’ve been betrayed because they don’t know why their mother or father have gone away and not came back. The psychologist mentions that it’s very normal for children to feel this way and conduct a different behaviour than usual because just like everyone else they don’t seem to understand
The mass deportation of undocumented immigrants categorizes them as second class citizens. People assume they provide a burden to society, and many policy makers have taken steps in order to oust them. The first being IIRIRA. In reality undocumented people have every right to be here. The economic slump of their native countries is a consequence of US actions and policies, and undocumented workers provide a great economic benefit to the US. In “Border America: illegal but essential, experts say undocumented immigrants are a driving force in the economy despite a toll to public services and unskilled workers,” by David Streitfeld the benefits undocumented workers provide for the economy are outlined. Streitfeld writes that economist agree that undocumented workers contribute to consumer spending and instead of replacing workers actually create jobs. Undocumented workers have a negative stigma that they misuse resources and steal jobs from citizens, but they do the opposite. The influx of undocumented workers has stimulated the
During the 1900’s through 1950’s the United States experienced an influx of immigrants coming in from Mexico seeking employment opportunities, as many of them wanted to avoid the Mexican Revolution occurring from 1910 to 1920. Methods for arriving in the United States varied for each individual’s preference of the destination, but the means of transportation had been constant throughout. These methods of transportation consisted of contractors seeking unskilled workers willing to partake in hard labor in steel, railroad, or agriculture companies. Contractors traveled to towns close to Mexico’s boarder such as Laredo or El Paso seeking Mexicans citizens for labors. In some instances, immigrants traveled on their own will based on the advice
Bills and laws that treat undocumented immigrants poorly and unfairly do not achieve our goal. Instead of denying them work, we should assist them in gaining papers and helping them find a road to citizenship. People flee to America because of its promise: the promise of opportunity for all. Coming to flee war, escape oppression, have a voice in the government, worship freely, and leave poverty behind, aliens arrive in America only to receive poor treatment all over again. The chance of getting a job is slim for illegal immigrants since it is against the law to hire an undocumented alien, but employers know they can be hired for cheap labor (“Immigration Issues.” Illegal Aliens). The jobs offered to undocumented immigrants are typically undesirable for United States citizens since they require manual and arduous labor in most cases. So truly, without these immigrants, many of these jobs would go
There are over twelve million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. Many came to America to work, go to school, or be reunited with family members who are already residing here. Most migrants want to work and pursue the “American dream”. There are many barriers for residents to achieving success at the work and life balance. The immigrants fall back on public assistance to support them.
From the beginning of the United States, immigrants have always played an integral role. The nation itself was built on immigration, whether to escape persecution or war; however, the United States, as it progressed has had instances where immigrant groups have had issues assimilating into society whether due to the political wave running through the nation or from an economic depression. One group, that has been experiencing this difficulty assimilating into society has been Mexicans who have, since the beginning of the 1960’s, have been coming over in droves to escape the poverty, corruption, and drugs that run rampant in Mexico. So, although the United States was established on immigration, the United States has had an issue with the incoming
Ethically, the biggest issue in migrant Latino workers’, rests in the exploit of them by corporations for personal gain and the concealment that follows. Generally, big agricultural corporations perceive migrants as uneducated and skill less. In result, wages are lowered to account for a greater profit at the worker’s expense, leading them into a state of poverty. Viramontes piece proves this describing Estrella “feeding children with noise” in effort to distract the starving children (p. 29) However to promote sales, corporations hide the truth in their development with images displaying healthy and homegrown practices.
For centuries, migrating has been a life changing decision for people that choose to enter the United States in search of a better future. Therefore, immigration is the permanent residency of people that choose to move to a new country. There are debates concerning the immigrants who enter the United Stated illegally and as the daughter of immigrant parents, I am fortunate to be born in this country.
People against illegal immigration think jobs are being lost, and this group has a growing voice in politics. The opposition against illegal workers feels it is eliminating opportunities for those who are already citizens. By permitting illegal immigrants to infiltrate this country, ignoring all of the procedures and systems that are in place to regulate it, it is indeed committing an unfair and biased way of dealing with immigrants. (West 428) The legalization of illegal workers currently in the U.S. is not a good resolution to the illegal immigration issue because it is not a durable solution.
Illegal immigrants hold over 14 million jobs in the U.S. These jobs should belong to some of the 17 million unemployed Americans. If U.S. citizens would take these jobs unemployment would be at around 2% which is considered full employment. Not only do illegal immigrants take jobs, but they also receive more benefits compared to the taxes they pay. Another negative effect is that many industries pay illegal immigrants a lower wage saving money on the higher wages a native would earn. Even though illegal immigrants bring some rewards the overall negative effects of lower wages, tax burdens, and less available jobs is why illegal immigration should be stopped.
Many undocumented immigrants are contributing to the society, paying taxes and doing jobs most native-born citizens do not want. While, some may support giving amnesty to undocumented citizens, others would want these hardworking, undocumented immigrants deported from the country. All in all, granting amnesty to undocumented immigrants would boost the economy, but if the government were to deport these unauthorized immigrants, it would damage the
If they are contributing to the economy, it would be in the best interest of our country to let them continue to contribute. A different view would be that if we continue to let immigrants come over illegally without going threw the proper channels then America is sending a message to immigrants everywhere that there is away around are immigration laws and if they see that there is a way around one law they might think there is away around others. A counter message would be that The United States was built on immigrants and we pride ourselves on being a nation that is free and excepting of immigrants who are longing to be
Illegal immigration should be allowed in the United states because of the effect is has on society, economy and labor, it contributes to society, it boosts the economy, and it impacts labor. With illegal immigration in place people work for cheaper and boost the economy, immigrants do the jobs that are unwanted by the citizens, and it contributes to a spread of culture and
