Illegal Immigration Thesis

Illegal Immigration has been an issue throughout American history. Many individuals have their own opinions when it comes to this topic. For instance, some may argue that illegal immigrants enrich American society, but others believe that they detract. Those who believe illegal immigrants enrich America have a very good reason. One of them being that illegal immigrants help to keep the economy moving and growing by taking the low-wage jobs. Furthermore, the opportunity provided for individuals brought to the United States as children to remain and acquire an education could benefit the U.S. in the long run. Finally, the last valuable reason is many believe illegal immigrants allow for a vibrant cultural exchange which can benefit the younger

Some examples of those jobs are fast-food workers, construction work, servers, cashiers, and anything that has to do with manual labor.

Furthermore, one presumes that illegal immigrants will take on all the resources in America, which will leave none for them. Many Americans also feel the U.S. is wasting money on immigrants. Nevertheless, this is a poor argument in support of the enrichment illegal immigrants have to offer to the U.S. because they can bring a lot to the table by helping America financially. These undocumented people will bring the opposite of trouble they will improve the United
