First, I think it 's cute how you 're dictating what I should think, as if I 'm incapable of developing an knowledgeable opinion. Secondly, before we continue with Immigration reform we have to shut the border and figure out what to do with the people here. Period. The only reason you have to shut the border is due to the welfare state.
Douglas You may be able to see parallels from then to today in other countries but I fail to see how people sneaking into our country illegally and getting a job from a business in this country illegally has anything to do with slavery or labor laws. I would agree with you if we were rounding up immigrants and bringing them into our country and forcing them to work for cheap labor. That is not the case, immigrants are risking their lives and their families lives to come into The United States of America to escape the hell that they were living in and work for more money than they have ever made in their entire lives. I don't agree with companies hiring anyone that is in this country illegally and think the punishment for doing so should be
The term "alien" has taken on a negative connotation over the last few years. With the issue of immigration reform so prevalent in the U.S., immigration-reform advocates are fighting to remove the term from federal documents so as not to offend immigrants. Castro leads the way Rep. Joaquín Castro, D-Texas, introduced a bill that would effectively remove the term "alien" in any and all federal documents and replace it with the more politically correct term "foreign national. " The name of the bill is the Correcting Hurtful and Alienating Names in Government Expression Act, also known as the CHANGE act.
Picture this: You came to the United States as a 2-year old undocumented immigrant. You can’t really say to your parents, “We shouldn’t go to the U.S. That’s illegal and I don’t want to get caught”. So you go to school in the United States, K-12, because the schools have to accept you.
“They argue that new immigrants are naturally ideologically aligned with liberals; more legalization, these political thinkers say, just means more votes for Democrats in future elections (nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com)”. But, in the end one of the biggest cons of this reform will be the affect it has on the labor force in the country. Some people “…say that even with wage protections negotiated by unions, temporary immigrant labor will lower wages for American workers and will keep those currently unemployed or underemployed unable to succeed in the job market (nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com)”. This is one of the biggest reasons why I
If there are people that are willing to work for money like these immigrants than American government won’t have to ask other country for stuff to be made, it can be all made in America that way we will save money and it would impact the economy in a positive direction. The immigrants can be worked at minimum wage at any low skilled work that American’s would not want to work. “Immigration will
The first reason we think Illegal Immigration is bad is because americans lose jobs to immigrants who need jobs. Less skilled american citizens earn less money and have fewer job opportunities because they have to compete with immigrants in the job market. Hard workers could lose jobs to those who had just came to the United States. Illegal Immigrants should not
Throughout the last twenty years, the United States government has failed to establish equitable and lasting immigration reform. Different attempts such as the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals established in 2012 serve as examples of incapability to grant true reform to undocumented communities. This infectivity is a cause of polarized congressional leadership. Both sides argue for their personal views rather than alleviating the status of many migrant communities. The inadequateness of immigration reform can be explored through several aspects.
Immigration reform has been a big issue for our country in recent years. Many U.S. citizens claim that immigration is harmful to the US economy. In just 20 years, we have seen the average number of immigrants per year jump a staggering 20%. This has lead to the biased opinions we see towards immigration today. Currently, our country is not receiving any benefit from immigration.
According to a study released last year by the Pew Hispanic Center, as of 2008, 11.9 million illegal immigrants lived in the United States, more than triple the 3.5 million who lived in the country in 1990 (Izumi). Immigration throughout the years has become a major issue in the U.S because of too many immigrants entering the country year after year. The U.S has come to a point whether they should deport the immigrants back to their country. Believe it or not, these immigrants are a big contribution to the U.S. If it wasn’t for them, the U.S economy wouldn’t be where it stands now.
Throughout history, people have always discriminated against immigrants. People in this country have always said to not let them in the country or let them work because they do no good, they all just bring illegal drugs and crime. However, they are wrong because they do not see the hard labor in undesirable jobs they work in. But there is organizations helping out immigrants workers; for example worker labor protection law, it proves that they are not what people say. Although people get the wrong impressions of immigrant workers as being only involved in crime and bringing drugs into the U.S, there are groups and organizations proving people wrong by showing them how hard-working immigrants are even though they are in poor working conditions.
Illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the U.S.A. and become citizens because they are heavy workers, want a better life and most importantly they contribute to the U.S. economy. Immigrants simply want to obtain an opportunity to live and work in this great country. With all this in mind it is clear that they deserve a path to citizenship. Countless people say illegal immigrants are damaging the U.S. economy; however, they are contributing immensely by paying their taxes.
Unlike legal immigrants who have paid their dues and contribute to the economic coffers, illegal immigrants often times receive government handouts without actually contributing to the economy. These illegal immigrants are also more likely to get paid “off the books” which creates a drag on the U.S. economy (Rector). If immigrants are legally allowed to work in the U.S., then I will completely support their efforts to find
Immigrants are a good thing for America and should be granted citizenship unless they are causing trouble. Some housekeeping jobs and yard work is done by immigrants, both documented and undocumented. Immigrants are useful in the Labor Market. Between 7-8 million of the illegal immigrants
: Illegal immigration has put a burden financially, economically, and socially on the hard-working American taxpayers. Eleven million illegal immigrants have poured through our borders over the years and have put a financial strain on our American taxpayers. There are Americans who struggle everyday for an honest pay and yet we have illegal immigrants who have work handed to them and some that are beginning to do better than some Americans. Now don 't get me wrong, I am all for immigrants coming to America. But, there is a legal and an illegal way to do things.
