Effects Of Migration On Illegal Immigrants

People such as Donald Trump don’t realize the immense affect deporting people will have on the economy. According to an article called, “Trump’s new deportation rules could cost the economy trillions” by Bryce Covert, there is estimated to be 12 million immigrants in the US. Seven out of twelve million are workers who contribute 3 percent of the GDP. In other words 3 percent of the GDP is equal to $5 trillion in economic growth over a ten year period. Deporting all immigrants will cost an estimated price of $4.7 trillion. According to a research from Ryan Edwards and Francesc Ortega at the Center for American Progress, without undocumented workers, the GDP (gross domestic product) could potentially reduce by 2.6 percent in about a decade. In regards to deportations, the government would have to hire 15,000 more border patrol agents and build new detention centers. Let’s not disregard the fact that Mr. Trump also wants to construct a bigger wall which will cost billions of dollars. Considering that the US

“The economy consists of the free flow of money, goods and services as well as the production of such goods and services. Illegal immigration has a direct economic impact, though the details are a little more complicated than the storyline of they 're taking our jobs.” (Hirby). In discussions of illegal immigration strictly through only an economic perspective, a controversial issue is whether undocumented immigrants in the United States of America ultimately represent a taxation liability or prosperity. While some argue that undocumented immigrants take more out of government funded programs than they pay to the economic interests of America, specifically they don’t pay taxes that legal American citizens do and essentially are an economic burden. Others contend that undocumented immigrants consistently pay billions in taxes, and contribute much more than they are costing the government.

There are approximately 3.7 million unlawful immigrant households in the U.S. These households impose a net fiscal burden of around $54.5 billion per year (Richwine). The severity of illegal immigrants is visible when realizing the average illegal household collects around $24,721 in government benefits and only contributes $10,334, leaving a $14,387 deficit. This is detrimental to the US economy for several reasons. When millions of of uneducated, un-americanized immigrants come into the US they are not equipped to succeed due to their lack of education. Nor are they equipped with the proper salary to raise children.

Americans on a daily basis are bombarded with broadcasts from newspapers, television, and special interest groups on the economic burdens created by illegal immigrants. Reports and statistics of growing state and local deficits; is it fact or fiction? In reality, undocumented Mexicans are necessary to the health of our economy. They provide a workforce in agriculture they keep the costs down; they contribute millions in taxes annually they help to stabilize the economy. Immigrants after all, are not just workers, but consumers and demand for products and services which in turn creates new jobs. In fact our economy needs illegal

Imagine being shaken awake by your spouse, exhausted from your twelve hour shift the day before. Devastated, you realize that you accidentally slept in five minutes later than you should have, which will make you late for your job. The business that you work for will now fire you because there is always a willingly and desperate immigrant to replace you. Dependent on each member to provide an income, your family will suffer greatly because of your unemployment. Your family will not be able to make payments for the house or for food. Thus, you will be evicted from your home, thrown on to the streets, and starved. Immigrants faced these hardships in the early 1900s as they were exploited by their boss. Long hours, terrible pay,

This policy brief examines the impacts of immigration laws on undocumented immigrants in the United States. The brief provides a short background on the modern history of immigration laws in the United States. Specifically, this brief examines the current legislation of DACA or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

The number of immigrants, legal or illegal, living in the United States has fluctuated over the years, but it does not hide the fact that the American Dream still acts as a beacon to foreigners. People believe coming to America is the key to a better life. With the overflow of our new neighbors, we transform from a single society into a mixture of several cultures. Immigration is causing America to become a tossed salad society (a society in which ethnic and racial groups maintain separate identities, with no dominant culture) which Americans should acknowledge, because it is our own unyielding nature that deprives us of a symbiotic melting pot .

By beginning to measure the wages, salaries, and income earned by businesses owned by immigrants in the U.S. we can clearly see how much immigrants contribute to the U.S. economy. Undocumented immigrants contribute to U.S. economy just like most of the permanent citizens do. Rigo Conde mentioned that “Most people has mistakenly believed that undocumented immigrants come here and take advantage of government aids provided for free, but in order to get all those services they must be US citizens.” Even though if undocumented immigrants used government services and collect benefits, they do pay taxes that end up costing more than what they take from social services.

Undocumented immigrants impose large costs on the US government, between trying to get them out once they are in the US and trying to protect the boarders, these immigrants cost over $100 billion taxpayer dollars each year. Aside from cost, they play a very large role in crimes across the nation. Approximately 65% of all fugitive warrants are out for undocumented immigrants. The Violent Crimes Institutes of Atlanta conducted a study showed that of the 960,000 sex offenses in America, illegal immigrants committed 240,000 of these assaults from January 1990 to April of 2006. They also reduce the number of jobs available for American born citizens. Employers prefer to hire these undocumented workers because it is cheaper for them. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau said that during 2008 to 2010 while illegal immigrants were given over a million jobs, Americans were being let go from their jobs. Americans are also worried that the amount of illegal immigrants is so large and always growing that their culture will take over, and American born citizens will become the minority in America. Last but not least, most illegal immigrants do not pay taxes. This results in Americans paying for not only their own children’s public schooling, but also a large portion of the illegal immigrants children’s

Immigration can be defined as: the movement from one country to another country. Immigration had two major impacts on the US: on the labor market and especially on the politics of race. The black rebellions of the 1960s created a political crisis for the government of US on the adequate response to black rebellions. Daniel Patrick Moynihan and President Johnson proposed two different policies to resolve black poverty.

Controversy regarding illegal immigration in the United States of America is an ongoing issue, and is in dire need of a solution to restore jobs for American citizens and revive the US economy. According to The Rasmussen Reports, a “survey found 51 percent of Americans believe they are competing for jobs against illegal immigrants living in the country without work permits”(Silva, 1). The competition for jobs, favors illegal immigrants due to their lower labor costs. The majority of the American workers know they are competing with illegal aliens for jobs because they will work for so little for each paycheck. Millions of Immigrants come to the country each year, taking up valuable jobs that citizens could fill (Foster, 1).

Immigration has been a topic of discussion since the beginning of time. The question to let immigrants in or not to. Even till this day President Obama is still facing the immigration problems and whether to reform it or not. That should not be the problems since our country was started with Immigrants. The only people who were here were the Native Americans. So is it fair to say that we should not keep America doors open? Is this the land of the free and opportunities? Immigrants should not be kept out. They have contributed to America economy more than we know it. Immigrants came over to have a better life for their family. Immigrants are an important part of our international competitiveness, especially in technology-intensive and service industries. Furthermore, immigrants help to provide business leadership in developing new products and industries. Immigrants also play an important role in the economy by filling niches where the domestic supply of workers is limited.

During the start of America, immigration was a common occurrence. These immigrants had a better life here and were given many great things such as a large social life, free schooling and good communities.

The most of Latinos think that illegal immigrants help the economy by providing low-cost labor, while a significant minority of nearly a quarter (21%) said that they hurt the economy by driving wages down. However, almost twice as many native-born Latinos (28%) seeing economic harm from illegal immigration. They are originally from Puerto Rico (57%) and Cuba (50%) take a positive view of the economic impact of illegal migration than among Mexicans (78%) or Central and South Americans (71%). The Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth and virtually all Cubans are either U.S. citizens or legal immigrants. Both Puerto Ricans (35%) and Cubans (39%) are more than twice as likely as Latinos of Mexican origins

What if you got something taken away from you that was really important to you. How would it make you feel? To children of illegal immigrants that is their birthright. These children are here for their parents. They want to make their parents proud by studying, learning, and going to school. Also if they get their birthright taken away, they will throw away all the learning they had to do.If these children get their birthright taken away they may have to leave someone they really care about, the population of the United States would drop, and it could cost taxpayers a lot of money to get all the children deported.
