The United State 's current 11 million illegal immigrants need to be deported. For decades now the United States has had a huge problem when it comes to border security and immigration. There are currently over 11 million undocumented people in the United States and some evidence suggests that it is having disastrous effects on the economy. Whether they should be granted amnesty or even deported has become one of the biggest political conflicts, and recently has become an important topic for the upcoming 2016 presidential elections. On one side there 's an argument saying that granting such an incredible number of illegal immigrants amnesty would cost more money than it would make in the long run. The article, "Amnesty: Breaking the Social Security Bank " printed by the Federation For American Immigrations Reform states the evidence that if the illegal immigrants were to be granted citizenship, they would quickly become eligible to receive retirement funds from the Social Security bank in which most earned, while breaking the federal law and using stolen or fake SSN numbers.
This could be devastating because it could crash the Social Security bank and make it more difficult for hard working,

Jeffrey Passel and D 'Vera Cohn point out in the study from 2010, which estimated the population of undocumented citizens by state, they found that in California alone almost 2 million jobs were taken by the illegal population (Passel and Cohn). Now at first glance this number is relatively small seeing how California 's total population is over 38 million. However when looking at the unemployment rate, which is roughly 6%, you can do some simple math and find that the amount of jobs taken by illegal immigrants is also right around 6%, so by deporting these immigrants it could potentially lower the unemployment rate
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.
According to CNN, 12 million illegal immigrants currently reside in the United States, which is approximately equivalent to the populations of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Michigan. Removing all 12 million illegal immigrants, then, would be like removing one of the above states, a pretty incredulous task. In practical terms, it is not possible to send that many immigrants back to their respective countries efficiently and economically. This raises the issue of what to do with the immigrants that are already here, and how to increase security to keep the number of illegal immigrants entering under control. It may be feasible to grant citizenship to those illegal immigrants that have been in the United States for some time, however; that citizenship should come with certain set of restrictions. In other words, a probationary citizenship could be granted. In terms of future illegal immigrants, increased security measures to either restrict immigrants from crossing without proper citizenship authorization or better regulate the influx of immigrants coming in should be enforced. Taken together, current illegal immigrants should be provided a probationary citizenship license under the stipulation that they enroll in an English course, take and pass a citizenship test, be able to provide family support without government assistance, and keep a clean criminal record all within a set period of time before receiving a permanent citizenship; additionally, future immigrants should not be allowed into the United States by increasing border security measures to increase efficacy of controlling incoming immigrants which may include building a better border and hiring more law enforcement personnel.
Have you ever seen or heard someone discriminate against another person just because they were an illegal immigrant of the United States of America? The Ignorance of the majority of the american people is unreal. They are selfish and do not understand how to think in a way that betters the world. The American People and their government have declared that immigration comes in two forms. A legal and illegal form. How can these people whom have came from a long line of immigrants and people who forced other people to migrate elsewhere and have blood on their hands from all the ones they killed. Asking people of difficult financial situations to pay these absurd amounts of money and wait a difficult amount of time all to become citizens legally
For the longest time people have always wanted to immigrate to the U.S. from their country hoping to start a new life, possibly a wealthy life of which they have always dreamt. Most people don’t know what will happen once they get there, but they have created a picture of how successful they will be and how good they will do in the U.S. This leads to problems, when they enter their new home and figure out that the life they imagined isn’t quite what they expected it to be.
Some would say, quotes John F. Kennedy, “Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life.” Thus, in today’s society, we can say that immigrants are what made America possible—economically and socially. We are in a melting pot era where the impossible was made possible. From the time John F. Kennedy was elected in 1960, making a promise to change the national origins system to unite the nations of all countries equally. Hence, in 1965, under Lyndon Johnson’s administration, Kennedy’s promise came into light, amending the INS—favoring unification of families, not national origins. Although, the unification was made possible, the peacefulness never lasted.
There are two category’s in today’s society Those who oppose illegal immigration and want the immigrants to be forced back to their originating countries. Those who oppose illegal immigration but would prefer that illegal immigrants that reside within the United States are granted citizenship options. There are obviously quite a number of people that are opposed to illegal immigration. Almost all of us can say we are children of immigrants Many immigrants risk their lives to reach the United States so that they may provide their families a better life. Some immigration supporters also feel that the risks the immigrants take to get here are far too great. They feel the United States government is placing these individual 's lives at risk by
Immigration in America in recent years has continued to rise steadily. Why? What do they want? Do these immigrants even contribute to society or are they just simply here to do diabolical deeds? Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova assert “In 2013, approximately 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States, an all-time high for a nation historically built on immigration” (par.1). Every year millions of immigrants migrate into the U.S looking for better job opportunities or searching for freedom that is limited to them elsewhere. Reporter Janelle Ross contends “America is a much more diverse country — in every region — than it was during the last century. That is largely due to the nearly record-topping share of the country 's population that
Many people have come to America for a better life and to get away from all the troubles of their homeland. These immigrants, like those throughout U.S. history, are generally hard workers and make important contributions to the economy through their productive labor and purchasing power. America is considered a melting pot of many diffrent ethinic group. Immigrants should be able to enter America with little if any resistance from any border patrol. Immigrants in america take the low paying, hard labor jobs that , unfortunately, some americans don't want.
The issue of undocumented immigrants has been a huge debate in the 2016 Presidential Debate. The increase in undocumented immigrants to the US has Americans scared that the increase is more like an invasion, but there are so many other reasons on why it is better to keep our undocumented immigrant population than deport them. The fact they better our economy, by taking low end jobs, or increasing our GDP per capita by 4% is a great place to start(). Most Americans say that deporting the undocumented immigrants is in America’s best interest, but in reality, the undocumented immigrants help America and even Americans themselves.
One of the most controversial issues debated today is immigration. This issue raises many questions on the pros and cons of allowing so many immigrants to enter this country. The majority of people coming to live in America are from third world countries. The United States has been known as the nation of immigrants since the 1960s. Like always there are people who support immigration while others are against it. As immigration continues to grow the number of people who oppose it does as well. The growth of illegal immigration has increased to 5 million, despite many policies establish to prevent it. One major debate about immigration is the impact it has on the economy and whether the growing number of immigrants is a major threat to this country.
The United States, founded by immigrants 238 years ago, continues to be influenced by the presence of migrants. The first wave of immigrants occurred during the colonial era when the majority of Europeans came in search of better economic opportunities, while others sought religious freedom. The early settlers set the pattern for future migrants, who currently come to the United States seeking a better life, one filled with plenty of financial opportunities. According to the American Community Service report of 2012, 40.8 million immigrants, equivalent to 13% of the population, live in our nation. While this figure continues to grow exponentially, Americans remain in constant negotiations about the effects of immigration on the U.S. economy.

Given the fact that immigrants bring new products, technologies, medicines that creates jobs for many Americans, which they have always been the asset to the U.S labor force and economy. Through immigration, many have given a better opportunity to have a good life and find the job that can support their families. Overall, Immigrants are important not only in the economy but also globally. However, we can’t ignore the 11 million undocumented immigrants that taking advantage of all the resources and opportunities that this country has. They are ruining the good image of “immigrants” and causing more problems that lead to the security threat of everyone. Undocumented immigrants also benefit from the public services provided by the government which the taxpayers have a contribution to them. Also, cheap labor taken by the undocumented immigrants can have a negative impact on the market. Children of the undocumented immigrants can be a burden in U.S. public school, and lastly, undocumented immigrants create an ongoing security threat in
Contrary to popular opinion, illegal immigrants do not contribute to the U.S. economy. Instead they cost more by using government provided services, taking jobs from native workers, and reducing wages by competition with native workers. Proudly a nation of immigrants the United States attracts people from all over the world because we are a nation of laws. (Demint) For centuries immigration has been indispensable to the health of our nation, as it will be for our nation’s future success. (Demint) Although this is true, immigrants should still come to our nation lawfully and not burden our nations loyal and already overburdened taxpayers more with fiscal costs. (Demint) Foreign born people residing in the United States at the time of a population survey who were not U.S. citizens at birth in 2012 were reported to be 4.2% born in Africa, 29.2% born in Asia, 11.8% born in Europe, 52.2% born in Latin America including South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean, 2.0% born in Northern America including Canada, Bermuda, Greenland, St. Pierre, and Miquelon. (Migration) The top three countries from which illegal immigrants were reported to have been originally born in are Mexico, India, and China. (Migration) With illegal immigration becoming more common by the years you can only imagine how much those numbers have increased. Having illegal immigrants in the U.S. and how to deal with the productive and government fee-conflicting immigrants can cause much controversy on whether they hurt or help our economy. Pardoning the offense against our government to those who break the law and putting them on a path to become citizens of our law-based nation would be unfair; also it would just impose more unacceptable behavior and major...
