The ongoing debate about whether illegal immigrants are a benefit or a burden to America’s economy has been controversial nationwide. While some may believe that illegal immigrants steal jobs, in reality, they fill in jobs throughout key sectors as a result of their willingness to perform arduous, manual labor that many native-born Americans are reluctant to do. Even though illegal immigration has its flaws, the benefits outweigh the costs as it proves to not be a burden to the U.S. economy. Illegal immigrants are necessary to the health of our economy.
