Illegal immigration has remained a topic of political debate over the past years. While illegal immigration has been repeatedly debated, the issue has not been solved. Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump, has sparked controversy when he proposed plans to deal with illegal immigration. Mr. Trump plans include: the deportation of 11 million illegal immigrants along with the construction of a wall between the Mexican-American border. If elected Mr. Trump’s would harm the United States rather than help the country. One of Mr. Trump’s plan to deal with immigration is the mass deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants. In various interviews Mr. Trump repeatedly and simply states, “I am sure they are good people, but they have to go”. Research …show more content…

It is also abruptly armful to the U.S economy. Out of the 11 million undocumented people around 6.8 million are employed by different industries. According to the same research done by the American Action Forum, “The economy is projected to produce $18.7 trillion in goods and services. But 6.8 million undocumented immigrants are employed, and removing them from the country all at once would reduce that output by somewhere between $381.5 to $623.2 billion”. Even though it is known that illegal immigrants work low skilled jobs. Construction, agricultural, and many other jobs would be hit hard if mass deportation were to happen. Illegal immigrants are a key part of the U.S. economy. They are also a big part of the American workforce. A lot of people see illegal immigrants as liabilities but in all reality they are …show more content…

Trump continues to use words such as humane and fair to defend his immigration plans. A number of people have questioned whether these are the correct words to be used in order to justify mass deportation and a wall being built between two allied countries. While illegal immigration should be an issues that should be dealt with. Mr. Trump’s plan to deal with immigration is not only expensive but also poisonous to the united states. The plans that Donald Trump has proposed go against what the United States believes in. There is no humane way to remove 11 million people out of a country they call home. Building a wall is not only a waste of money but the United States would literally be shunning one of their most important allies. The plans Donald Trump has for immigration are radical and in various ways impossible to

    This is only one of the many offensive comments he has made throughout his campaign, which I plan on analyzing for the purpose of understanding systemic racism within America. Trumps campaign has been centered on the very controversial topic of immigration policies and the building of a “Great Wall” that is intended to keep the Mexican people, in particular, out of the United States. The idea that someone like Donald Trump could become the President of the United States of America has put fear into the hearts of the American people. Running with the slogan “Make America Great Again” Trump has emphasized that America has failed because of its “lenient” policies towards other countries, and his plan

    Immigrants have proven effective in U.S Economy. “Immigrants have founded venture-backed public companies are worth more than $500 billion and employ an estimated 220,000 people in the U.S“("10 Harmful Misconceptions About Immigration." Www.equalrightcenter.org. Equal Right Center, 2008. Web.) As the economy of the U.S has been growing, without immigrants the country wouldn 't be able to fulfill its labor force necessities, therefore, we would have a decline where there is too much to be done with not enough people to work. Also, the immigrant community would take on any job offered, which is basically the leftovers, or what the Native Born Americans didn 't want to do. Even the ones who sought greater power, such as opening their owns businesses still needed help learning the duties where they would hire Native born Americans or American companies to teach them how to run the business. Yes, the Immigrants were taken jobs, but they were also providing white collar jobs for the native

    Formally, an immigrant can be defined as “a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.” But in some cases, there has been people like Cesar Chavez who have made a difference in history as an immigrant. Unfortunately, there are those who are not as lucky as Cesar Chavez and end up getting deported just like what happened in Operation Wetback in 1942. Now, they have made a way for immigrants to become U.S. citizens by taking the citizenship test. However, Donald Trump is one of the many people attempting to keep immigrants as far away from the U.S. Border laws are also another one of the many reasons why not many immigrants get the chance to enter this country because in many ways the laws that surround the border are in some ways unfair and not really the best. Immigration still remains a problem in our country

    Mr. Diaz goes on about the presidential speech, Donald had that week, then Donald repeats his thoughts over Mexicans. He then comments about the possibilities of terrorists coming to the US from the Mexican border, that it could be possible, especially looking at the situations that could happen like 9/11. As a politician, he should have more of the information on hand than those in the lower class or Tv News. When you think of situations, it could be a possibility, yet 9/11 isn’t sufficient enough to become an example that could happen. The terrorist that came to destroy the peace, came with permission (VISA) from the country. There was no need to come through the border we have come to a time where there is an easier path than using the border to come pass by and kill thousands of people. Donald Trump has been looking at the negative things about Latinos, however, hasn’t looked at the important situations. Gay equality has just become approved this year, and now he wants to start another conflict with the people of this country. Even in the year 2015, we still have the problem of looking at colored people differently. Racial Equality, a common thing we still have marched for even though it has been years since it became established. Congress has voted for equality (Equal Rights Amendment), yet why do we see people like Donald Trump still going against other ethnicity? The marches are still going on, people are still standing up, yet nothing has changed. Even people who are non-Latinos could become affected with remarks Trump says. If Donald, who has no sense in accepting Hispanics, may have similar feelings with another race. Removing undocumented doesn’t only mean Mexicans, but others as well, such as Asian, Cubans, and Central American People (Guatemalans, Salvadorans

    This year, the republicans and democrats have battled it out in many debates over the subject of immigration. Isis, the past couple years put a halt in the fact that we are allowing muslims to legally live in the United States. Candidate Donald Trump had this to say "As far as other people like in the migration, where they 're going, tens of thousands of people having cell phones with ISIS flags on them? I don 't think so, Wolf. They 're not coming to this country. And if I 'm president and if Obama has brought some to this country, they are leaving. They 're going. They 're gone" (Trump). Other candidates encourage the decrease of deportation. Saying we 're taking the lives away from families who need the U.S. Either way, the subject causes a huge disruption in everything.

    A major facet of Donald Trump's campaign is his hardline approach to undocumented immigrants. Trump's claims of inflated levels of undocumented immigrants is meant to fear monger by painting them as criminals who need to be deported, a concept that is popular with his constituency.

    Illegal immigration is a violation of federal law, and money is spent in law enforcement to apprehend these individuals. Educational services per child are an additional cost as well. Health insurance is not provided to undocumented immigrants, but health care services, such as hospitals, are. These three areas can be costly for government to provide but not in the magnitude that the media often portrays to the public. It is important to remember that immigration, legal and illegal, helps to stimulate the economy. Immigrants are not stealing jobs from skilled workers, they are providing their labor to our economy. In the meantime, they are creating more opportunities and employment positions for skilled workers, and they are funding our Social Security and Medicare services. From an economic standpoint, illegal immigration is not harmful. In some areas, it is costly, but I believe that the benefits outweigh the costs. Undocumented immigrants contribute a great deal to the U.S. economy. However, it is important to remember that this activity is illegal and should not be encouraged. There is much more that we can do to improve the current state of immigration in our country so that not only our economy flourishes, but also that workers from other countries can come to ours to benefit as
