Pros And Cons Of Deportation

Since the 2016 presidential election, deportation has been seen by political authorities as the only solution to the immigration issue of the United States. Political authorities such as state representatives and senators, see deportation as an easy escape to “get rid” of individuals who hold little to no significance to them. They create laws to act upon deportation and give law enforcement the power to execute those laws without the acknowledgement of the negative consequences it will have on the society. Even though many immigrants come to the United States illegally, political authorities should not see deportation as the only solution to this problem because it leads to a great loss of workers in the agricultural department, separate
