...Should Illegal Immigrants be Deported from The United States? An English writer and novelist, called Richard Rayner, once said; “The real point is that there isn’t any immigration crisis” (Dudley 22). An abundant amount of undocumented people cross the border everyday seeking a better way of living; for Americans, this is an issue that the U.S. has to face every day. Rayner asserts that undocumented people don’t present a national crisis. When illegals come to America, they seek for a job and, by law, have to pay taxes. If the United States actually held undocumented individuals as a threat to its economy and society, this country would not have made the amount of progress it has socioeconomically. Although citizens argue that they harm America, Undocumented people have actually boosted the U.S. economy because they have done more good than harm. One reason why undocumented people shouldn’t be deported is that they contribute to a richer diversity and culture. Illegals share their customs and traditions with everyone. Most of restaurants...

...states. Many people have done that when they feel that their country is in danger. So now that they have gone through a lot to get here, what have they done? Found a job to provide for a family. Why send them back to something they are trying so badly to get away from? If you don’t want them to be a drain in society, let them find a job somewhere and pays taxes. The United States helps every country on the planet to fight their wars, but a few people that come across the border is a problem? This topic is relevant to today’s society because thousands of illegal immigrants are getting deported back daily. Not only will it take some time, it will also use a huge amount of money just to send the large amounts of immigrants back. Everything, including...

...Many people claim that illegal immigrants are a big problem for this country, but in all honesty, it would be a bigger problem for this country if we tried to deport them all. There are many reasons why we should let the illegal immigrants stay in this country. We should not deport illegal immigrants because it would be extremely difficult and expensive, they are helpful and do not bring as much crime as people say, and it is unethical. First off, we should not deport illegal immigrants because it would be extremely difficult and expensive. Article 5 states that the cost of deporting one person is about $8,318 to $23,000. Now multiply that cost by 11 million. There are so many better things that the U.S. could use that money for. Article...

...I am not for immigrants in the United States of America. I think that there should not be any immigrants in the United states. They should be deported from the country. They take all of the jobs from our citizens. They are also taking money from our people. Americans pay taxes for things like Welfare, which give money to people in need. Most of those people that are on welfare, are immigrants. Immigrants should be deported for many reasons. Most undocumented workers are in relatively low skilled jobs, but about a quarter are in administrative jobs. Of those, about half are in management, finance, or professional careers. Removing large numbers would have a very significant impact on the businesses that employ them. So they have to be deported...

...the United States are immigrants or their American-born children. How did these people get here? There are many laws to allow immigrants to move to the United States. The USA is a country for immigrants wanting a better life, but not all are welcome. These laws restrict immigrants from the United States. Only 675,000 immigrants are allowed access to the United States every year according to the Immigration Act of 1990. (pg. 10) Current immigrant laws need to be reformed so that more immigrants can be allowed into the US, there will be a better way to decide which and how many refugees can come, and illegal immigrants have an easier way to become a US citizen. 675,000 is the cap for number of immigrants...

...immigrations, such as immigration laws. Many questions come up about this topic in today's society, like how do we stop immigration or do we even stop it? Not all immigrants are bad some are useful to the United States; we have to remember that the first people in America were immigrants. We do not have the right to deport others back to their native land. Many people from different countries try so hard to get to United States looking for a better life. There are many reasons why immigrants migrate to different countries, especially the United States of America home of the free. Some reasons are employment opportunities or careers that are not available in their native land, improved quality of life, and refuge from war. Most immigrants focus on making sure their children have a better life they had; those people show the theory of utilitarianism. "Utilitarianism argues that, given a set of choices, the act we should choose is that which produces the best results for the greatest number affected by that choice" (Mosser, 1.6). These immigrants are choosing the choice that would be best for their children who can have a better life in America. According to New York Times author Julia Preston there are about "11.7 million immigrants living in the United States illegally..."(Number of Illegal Immigrants, Para 1), with all these immigrants living in the United States illegally does the leader of our country have the right to send back...

...Deporting Immigrants There are around 11 million or more illegal immigrants in the United States today. Mother Jones Writes, “Immigrants are worried at this time because they might be deported” (Jones 3) back to Mexico for not having documents to be here in America. Illegal immigrants should not be deported because they are valuable for the economy; by having immigrants working in the United States it allows the working industry to be more productive. Allowing immigrants to work high-skill and low-skill jobs it can lead to increased economic growth and aid society. A lot of immigrants live in America to get a better job or any job that can be available. Because immigrants are seldom hired for corporate jobs and are paid minimum wage most...

...Immigration Reform Roughly 12 million illegal immigrants are in the United States, about 4 percent of the nation's population. Many undocumented children were brought into the U.S. by their illegal immigrant parents as babies or toddlers. Nearly 4 million children who have at least one parent who entered the U.S. illegally were born in the United States and are U.S. citizens as a result. According to the study conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center, the majority of illegal immigrants, about 7 million, come from Mexico. The U.S. government should change the requirements for obtaining legal status for illegal immigrants. The DREAM (Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors) Act is proposed federal legislation that would allow the children of undocumented immigrants who graduate from high school to earn conditional permanent residency if they complete two years in the military or at college. Eligible students must have entered the US before the age of 16, been living in the US for at least five consecutive years, be between the ages of 12 and 35 at the time of applying, and have good moral character. The legislation was first introduced in the Senate in August 2001, but was stalled in Congress for 9 years and most recently re-introduced in the Senate and House in March 2009. The DREAM Riddick 2 ACT would help immigrant students become legal residents of the United States and not face being deported, like Jessica and Oscar Oscar Vazquez...

...Tutor: Course: Date: Illegal Immigrants Presently there are countless hot subjects on the minds of Americans such as abortion, drone wars, same sex marriage but then one of the most discussed topic is the whether illegal immigrants should be deported back to their legitimate countries. Actually this topic has been politicized for more than a decade now without a sustainable resolution. And so what are the consequences of tolerating illegal immigrants in our country? For this reason in this paper we are going to present the limitations of illegal immigrants in the United States in an organized argumentation justifying why illegal immigrants should be deported back to their countries. Did you know that illegal immigrants cost American taxpayers more than three hundred billion dollars annually. It has been reported that an illegal pregnant woman in the United States receives free medical service that cost at around six thousand dollars. According to a CRS report illegal immigrants were responsible for more than 16, 000 which is twice the crimes commuted by legal immigrants. Additionally the United States Consensus Bureau estimated that there are more than twelve million illegal immigrants in the United States, this is actually equivalent to the combined populations of Arizona, Iowa and New Mexico. Even worse the infiltration of illegal aliens this has resulted in a weighty increase in the rate of unemployment. To tell the truth these illegal immigrants are certainly bad news...

...Jackson Monday 6-9 April 27, 2010 Illegal immigrants should not be deported Path to citizenship or deportation? First and foremost, I want to make it perfectly clear, that I am not voting for or in agreement with free citizenship to all the illegal immigrants that are currently in this country. This is a subject I have put much thought into. I believe there should be a path to citizenship for those who have minor kids who are U.S. born citizens; those who are working, are law abiding and who have been here for at least six years. However, there should be no free rides, no free medical assistance, welfare, and housing or bi-lingual education at the schools. When parents are deported, their U.S.-born children have two 'choices' -- leave with their parents or stay in foster care to continue getting their education. If the kids are deported, they will have to start over in a country with a new language, fewer resources and an uncertain future. Deportation destroys families and leaves U.S. citizen children without parents. Over one in ten families are mixed status: at least one parent is a non-citizen, and one child a citizen. We now have a vehicle to help protect our U.S. citizen children from the devastating effects of deportation: The Child Citizen Protection Act... which allows an immigration judge to consider the best interest of U.S. citizen children before deporting their parents. These immigrants do jobs that Americans do not want to do. They...

...know is that these people who have walked passed today is living in the United States without the verification of citizenship? How would you be able to tell? Often of times, it is hard to tell because illegal aliens look like your average person. Everyday people come into contact with illegal aliens in some way or form, but they just don't know it. Illegal immigration is a growing concern in the United States. The Obama Administration argues that the United States should naturalize all illegal immigrants; however, illegal immigration illustrates a negative image on the United States. Unauthorized aliens take jobs away from Americans, bring illegal drugs into the country, and barely pay taxes byt still benefit from our country's free public healthcare. To fix this issue, the United States must take necessary measures to deport illegal aliens back to their original residence. As reported by The Department of Homeland Security, “The unauthorized resident immigration population is defined as all foreign-born non-citizens who are not legal residents. Most unauthorized residents either entered the United States without inspection or were admitted Temporarily and stayed past the date they were required to leave... “(Vang, 2012). In 2009, there were over 10 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States (Alan, 2011). In his speech calling for “Comprehensive...

...address passing a bill without the consent from Congress to reform the immigration system. He had decided that if an illegal immigrant had been living in the United States, since 2010 or earlier, and had a child who had been born in America, they would be eligible to gain legal documentation. Immigrants will also have to pay their fair share of taxes and pass a criminal background check. Unfortunately, this law does not apply to immigrant children under the age of 18 unaware of the fact they had been crossing the U.S. border illegally with their family. The children that were brought here illegally by their parents should be granted a path to legal citizenship to be able to study and soon work legally in America. Back in November of 2014, Republicans in congress had not supported the decision President Obama had made with reforming the immigration law. Although, they were not the only ones who had not supported the President’s decision. Some citizens in America don’t see past the dozens of myths about immigrants. For example, some Americans believe immigrants come to the United States to not pay taxes and take job opportunities away from Americans. If the children are granted legal status, then they will soon be paying their fair share of taxes as they become older and find employment because they will be capable of obtaining a work permit. Studies find that immigrants pay between 90 and 140 billion dollars a year in federal, state, and local taxes (immigrationfourm.org). As for...

...In addition, thousands of harmful illegal aliens are roaming the streets of the United States everyday. These illegal immigrants are felons of crime and unlawful activity. According to a U.S. government analysis, the United States population consists of 55,322 illegal immigrants, and the study constructed a statistic that proved the illegal aliens were arrested at least 459,614 times. Furthermore, each illegal alien had a minimum total of 8 arrests (Martin). Based on the research above, it is evident that illegal immigrants do not take responsibility for their actions, and nevertheless, will not stop updating their criminal records. Although, the data above does not discuss an assault conducted against a single citizen, each criminal act listed in the static above exhibits one or more assaults against many U.S. citizens. “A Congressional Research Service report released in August 2012 found that over a 33-month period, between October 2008 and July 2011, more than 159,000 illegal aliens were arrested by local authorities and identified by the federal government as deportable but nevertheless released back onto the streets. Nearly one-sixth of those same individuals were subsequently again arrested for crimes” (Federation for). Moreover, one dangerous of many illegal aliens admitted to returning to the United States after being deported due to criminal activity. These illegal immigrants are aware of the misconducted immigration system and know ways...

Each one of these immigrants has different reasons; some come to the United States to have a better life; and the others are just refugees, hiding from a civil war in their country. A lot of the people think that the united is the best place to live in. However, the immigrant is accelerating and it’s affecting the country. Some of the U.S citizens believe that immigration might be dangerous to the country, by accepting people from around that we don’t know to the United States, and is getting overpopulation in the environment. Illegal Immigrants shouldn’t be deported because they found more freedom, benefits, and protection, which are the important problems with the immigrants. First, most people come to U.S to enjoy freedom, freedom of practicing...
