Should Illegal Immigrants Be Allowed Essay

Illegal immigrants should be allowed in the United States because of

manual labor. Philip Martin believes that illegal immigrants work harder than

average of Americans in the United States. According to Philip Martin

“Anecdotal and survey evidence suggests that many illegal aliens at least
