Pros/Cons of Illegal ImmigrationImagine a scenario in which crowds of people surround you. You don't know who they are. Hundreds of people of all cultures, ethnicities and genders walk past you. To you, they might seem like ordinary people trying to get from point A to point B. Therefore, you would not assume that they play an important role in society. However, what would happen if a person walking past you today was an undocumented citizen in the United States? How could you tell the difference? Everyone currently living in the Northern Hemisphere is an immigrant or descendant of an immigrant. Far too often, illegal immigration is seen as a negative act in today's world. Although illegal immigration is less rationalized due to the positive economic impact it has on the development of our economy. The United States is sometimes called the "nation of immigrants" because of our wide-open door policy for foreigners. Recently, it has been said that politicians and some citizens are leaning toward closed-door immigration policy, arguing that illegal immigrants pose a threat to the economy by creating unemployment by taking Americans' jobs. Nonetheless, they frequently seek employment in agriculture, an undesirable job among Americans. People consider them a disgrace to society because they dishonor our nation, but they only want to earn a living like any other individual. The United States was originally shaped by the vast flow of European immigrants. Immigration laws are therefore inconsistent and biased. An example of inconsistency is the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882; “Native-born Americans blamed unemployment and falling wages on Chinese workers whom they also viewed as racially inferior... middle of newspaper... depriving them of education? On the other hand, those who oppose the country's immigration policies have a different view of the situation. They say illegal immigrants are taking Americans' jobs and threatening the nation's security. However, they only take the jobs Americans refuse to do, which stimulates our economy. Statistics show that if we granted citizenship to 700,000 undocumented immigrants for more than 10 years, wages would increase by 15.1%. Given this theory, we would be able to increase gross developments and receive more federal and state taxes. Since 23% of taxes go to funding K-12 education, we may be able to pay the salaries of more than 800,000 teachers and provide grants. The facts show that illegal immigrants do not seek to deprive Americans of opportunity; they are only there for the satisfaction of improving.
