2794 Words12 Pages

The way that the United States Government treats illegal immigrants is horrific, and often ends in death for the men, women, and children that are caught attempting to cross the southern border. Crossing the border in and of itself is an immensely dangerous, and risky, feat, that claims the lives of many immigrants every day. However, being caught crossing the border illegally by the United States Border Patrol could yield some cruel, and quite frankly inhumane punishments for the immigrant, and anyone caught crossing the border with them. Unfortunately, the way that these immigrants are handled by the U.S. government often leaves lasting psychological, and physical damage on these immigrants. In many cases, this has even resulted in the death …show more content…

Quite frankly, the United States’ strict and honestly impossible immigration process has long since needed to be reformed. The reason that so many Latin-American immigrants are undocumented, is because of the laws that the U.S. has instituted to limit the amount of work visas given to these people (Driver, 2024). The United States could use the influx of immigrants in order to fill low-skill jobs that are in desperate need of being filled. These immigrants cross the border for no other reason than to create a better life for them and their families (Coronado, 2024). All many of these immigrants need is a job, and a chance to prove themselves. If we give more immigrants the chance to receive legal citizenship, less of them would need to turn to less than legal means of immigration. Allowing more immigrants to legally remain, or come into the country could also significantly benefit the economy! Because many of these immigrants are coming into the United States to work, and raise their kids, they in turn will spend more and stimulate the economy in the areas that they live (Driver,

Did you know theres so many violent cases where Border Patrol agents or BPA for short, don't even get charged for the awful things they do to migrants. The problem that we need to fix is how Border Patrol agents treat migrants or deal with them. We need to stop Border Patrol brutality because out there are being beat or ending up with injuries because of these abusive agents. First and for most, there are too many cases of migrants being beat by Border Patrol officers without getting any consequences. There was a case where a mans face was stepped on and kneed in the ribs after being handcuffed, the man reported it and the case was looked into but nothing was done.

The Pros of Border Security Did you know that the undocumented population of the United States has reached eleven million or more people? Do you know the severities caused by this large undocumented population? The reason why the United States needs to advocate a strong border security system is because of the amount of drugs illegally smuggled into the country, the increase of terrorism and the fear of safety amongst Americans, and the decrease of the availability of jobs.

The argument about erecting a fence arose because of the illegal immigration, drug smuggling, and further security violations happening along the border, which has increased over the years. More attention to this issue popped up after 9/11. This event led to a strong demand to fortify America’s borders more, thus making the notion of better security along the Mexican border one of the forefront matters on the minds of many officials. Liberals/Progressives tend to believe that Border Patrol should remain hundreds of miles away from border, and that the border stay open without a wall. They think that by building this fence we will be wasting a whole lot of unnecessary funds and resources, it will be pointless and not stop the problems that are

The 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. pay about 11.64 billion dollars in state and local taxes per year which contributes greatly to helping out the economy.

Immigrants are being rejected, and one of the reasons is because they are supposedly hurting our economy. This economic argument is blatantly false, however.
