Illegal Immigration Cons

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has taken a stance against the immigration bills being drafted in congress which all include amnesty in one form or another.

Ted Cruz said, “…you’ve got Republicans falling all over themselves to grant amnesty and a path to citizenship to millions of people who are here illegally. That is a mistake. It’s wrong. And we shouldn’t be doing it.”

The deal the White House proposed would grant amnesty to the approximately 800,000 illegal aliens granted protections under Obama’s executive order known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. It would also grant amnesty to an additional one million people currently occupying the country illegally.

During his 2016 presidential campaign, President Trump promised the …show more content…

This program grants tens of thousands of visas to people simply because they are from a country we have not imported tons of people from.

While all of the restrictions President Trump’s administration are supported by the American public, giving amnesty to millions of illegals in exchange for them is unpalatable for the millions of Americans who voted for him.

Granting amnesty to illegal aliens in this country has been done before, twice. On both occasions Americans were promised that it would be a one-time deal and that our border was going to be secured afterward. History has shown both assertions to be a complete lie.

Granting amnesty to millions of foreign nationals who have broken into our country and have been illegally occupying the United States for several years will only encourage more foreign nationals to follow suit. If you reward poor behavior, you get more poor behavior.

Many of the policies President Trump has proposed could be won by simply granting those with protections a two-year extension in exchange for the immigration reform. Democrats would have little choice but to accept such a proposal less they lose millions of their supporters, otherwise known as illegal …show more content…

An astronomical 62 percent of households headed by an illegal immigrant receive some type of welfare benefits.

These illegal aliens often use their children, anchor babies, that they have in the United States to qualify for welfare programs such as food stamps, WIC and Medicaid. Children of illegal aliens in the United States also receive free education at the expensive of American children.

The framework for immigration reform presented by the White House does nothing to address the perversion of the Fourteenth Amendment which grants the children of illegal aliens citizenship.

According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, illegal aliens cost the United States $116 billion annually, after considering the net sum of their contributions.

Granting the illegal occupation of the United States legitimacy would add nothing of value to our country.

When considering the facts, it would only make our communities more dangerous, our schools more underfunded and overcrowded with standards that continue to slip, it would exasperate our $20 trillion national debt and annual deficit, and encourage another wave of foreign nationals to illegally invade and occupy our country in the

In the 1990s an update of the H2A program claimed that the program was importing thousands of workers to the United States. Arguably one of the most important aspects of the H2A program was that “guest workers” were contracted and by that contract were allowed workers’ compensation coverage, housing inspections and transportation. This was a vital improvement because undocumented workers were not entitled to such allowances. More so, the program presented a chance for Mexicans to work in the United States legally which was an appreciated opportunity for Mexican workers. This program clearly promoted new and improved benefits for Mexican

Two Sisters, Two Americas is a brilliant article by Brooke Ross that illustrates the life of a family with a mixed-status and what should be done about it. Many people agree that an illegal immigration reform is necessary however people can’t seem to agree on what needs to be done about it. The issue about the immigration reform has created many fights between democrats and Republicans and although both sides think something needs to be done they can’t agree on what to do. Although most people don’t seem to realize is that illegal immigrants are people like us who are trying to find safety and better opportunities. It is clear that illegal immigrants need some pathway to becoming a citizen.

It is something that will improve the country socially and economically. It would resolve so many issues regarding immigration reform and about all of the young undocumented alien minors in America. It is something that would motivate them even, because they have been given a second chance, which is great then. It will empower them; it will show them that you should never give up and that America after-all. These alien minors will become better-educated, higher-earning workers and taxpayers.

There is no doubt that the United States’ immigration system has weaknesses. These weaknesses have led to thousands of illegal or undocumented immigrants staying in this country. To rectify this issue, some politicians have recommended amending the 14th Amendment from the Constitution, thereby eliminating birthright citizenship. The politicians suggesting this change claim that giving automatic citizenship to people born within the physical boundaries of the United States encourages illegals to enter and remain in the United States. However, amending the 14th Amendment would be a mistake.

The program has been brought back into the news recently because of discussions about a new guest worker program, and it is important to understand it.

This meant that the verdict of the lower court remained in effect and that the DAPA program's execution was halted. Millions of unauthorized immigrants who may have benefited from the program were significantly impacted by the decision. It was also a serious setback for the Obama administration, which maintained that in the absence of congressional action, the unilateral action was required. The Supreme Court's ruling brought attention to the intricate legal and political concerns pertaining to immigration, executive authority, and federal-state relations in the United States.(Musumeci

One important reason that undocumented residents deserve a path to citizenship is that families will be torn apart. According to Senator Charles Schumer, Upfront Magazine, 2016, “The status quo is unsustainable. Without reform, our immigration laws threaten to tear apart families and force our government to expend resources to deport millions.” What Senator Schumer is saying here is that deporting millions is not only tearing young children away from their parents, tearing

Some of the questions Americans should be asking are: How does the deferred action policy differ from previous immigration policies, how was it set into motion, and how will the changes impact America short term and in the future. The United States of America was formed, even before it was a country, by immigrants. Well before the Constitution was written, there were people looking for refuge here. The colonists were not the first to migrate from elsewhere.

Immigration is one of the most hotly debated and relevant issues that our country faces today, and it has been for many years, and within the same topic is the issue of DACA. In 2009, the former president, Barack Obama, and his administration first implemented a policy that would help for the children of immigrants brought to America as children. This policy was called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA for short, and it provided protection from deportation and allowed the young people to pursue work and studies under a work permit. In 2017, the newly elected

For instance emotional disturbance, specific learning disabilities and autism (Hill, 2009). When a social worker takes a child into custody that child has just became a child of the state or some would say basically their child and responsibility. That leaves the social worker taking that child to doctor appointments and make sure the child is in a foster home that is taking care of the child’s need. The funding for this policy comes from the federal government, state systems, and local systems (A legacy training module from NICHCY, 2014). Most children that are in the system are supplied with Medicaid, and sometimes receives a check from the government if they are physically disabled or

This program was introduced by President Barack Obama in 2012 and was aimed at protecting people who were brought to the United States under the age of 16 from deportation. The program required applicants to be in or have graduated high school, to have no criminal record, and other requirements. It provided applicants who were eligible with a two-year, renewable permit, and although it granted work authorization, it did not grant legal status. Approximately 800,000 DACA recipients, also referred to as “Dreamers,” are currently being protected by the program. However, on September 5, 2017, the Trump administration announced that it would end DACA, declaring the executive order that created it unconstitutional.

Reason #1 and Evidence One of the reason stated is that this law allows immigrants to be legal here if they've stayed here for 5+ years. This is important because 4.2 million immigrants have been here for 5+ years. In Obama’s speech he stated, “If you've been in America for over 5 years… you will be able to stay in this country.” Even though this new

Despite President Trump’s heartfelt statement, his actions are the oppsite of his words. DACA enables young people to pursue their passions and dreams and to develop their skills and talents without fear of being ripped from all they know. We would want the best for any child, allowing them to become full-fledged contributors to our society. I believe that without DACA, there wouldn’t be any opportunities for the dreamers to continue any further for our right to succeed and what’s best for our future. As we know, immigrants are known as “Dreamers” who come to this country illegally.

Born Free         “We need to build a wall,” said confidently by Donald Trump, this echoed in the minds of the american people. Taken by surprise, it couldn't be more obvious why such phrases managed to rise above in todays day. America is faced with countless immigration issues and racial tension. While the words of Donald trump might have inspired many to; enforce stricter border rules, keep out immigrants and deport illegal citizens, etc, for the economical/safety benefit of the U.S. Not all people were swayed to look at the issue, as stated.
