Employers knowingly employ hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants each year on farms, in restaurants, as domestic help, and in labor-intensive jobs. Without these workers some industries could not survive. Undocumented workers fill a need in this country and will work for wages that most Americans will not (“Employment protection policies and the undocumented worker: a balancing of competing interests,” 2005). Conclusion In conclusion, our current immigration laws are tearing families apart. Immigration reform is needed, but there is not a one size fits all solution.
While working men and women have long known the value of a dollar—it is a lesson well taught to one who labors for a living—it has taken a long, long time to teach employers the value of a human being, and in many cases has not yet been successfully taught. Few give thought to what happens to displaced workers, but they can analyze to the penny what the profits will be.” –James R. Hoffa Humble Beginnings Jimmy Hoffa was born on February 14, 1913. His birth name was Jimmy Riddle Hoffa. Raised in Brazil, Indiana, Hoffa was the third of four children of a coal driller and a domestic worker. When he was seven, his dad died and a few years later the family moved to the poverty-stricken west side of Detroit (Unknown, 2012).
The Settlement Movement put the social gospel into practice in a reform program. The other educational reform was Nativism, favoring native- born Americans over immigrants. Nativism was very popular with Jurgis, one of the main characters in The Jungle, When Jurgis first gets to the stockyard he only knows a few words, “No Lithuanian” and “job.” The book illustrates this to show that to get a job the first thing you must be able to say the word “job”, and “No Lithuanian”. Throughout The Jungle Jurgis learns more English and learns how adapt himself to American language and Chicago street smarts to help his family

Illegal immigrants become employed in “low skilled jobs” that no one else wants to work. These jobs can be from working in fast food to working on a farm. Many people have tried to take it into their own hands to try and stop immigrants from crossing the US and Mexican border but the most successful has been the Customs and Border Protection. The CBP falls under Homeland Security with the workforce of more than 42,000 sworn Federal Agents and
The major positive impact is that it would allow all of the illegal aliens to receive an id number and pay taxes into the government and help pay for government programs. The Center for American Progress reports that based on the results of The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which granted citizenship to 3 million illegal aliens we could reap many benefits of we adopted this course again. They state legalized immigrants invested more in their education and elevated their current jobs and pay rates. The author uses a logos appeal when telling us the expected increase to the gross national product based on the results in 1986 is 1.5 trillion dollars over the next decade (CNN). The benefit provided by this plan to the struggling economy is a convincing point to ponder.
Another problem was that even though there are anti-discrimination policies, a slight differential treatment towards minorities is still present. Employers expect and demand more input from minority groups and that is why people are hesitant to leave their workplace to cast a vote (Rivers, 2012). An outside source looks at voting from a different perspective. An interestingly opposing statistic is that minority groups with higher education and social status take the time to participate, as voting is very important to them. They want to take part in the choice of their government because it took so long and so much effort for them to receive the equal rights and abilities to enjoy democracy (Speel, 2010).

Many illegal immigrants live amongst us right now that have been here for many years and have worked for company’s many years and have homes and cars and many luxury’s we have. They might be here illegally but they have everything we have. Why would we look at them and think that it’s not right or it’s not fair? By bettering ourselves and educating our children so that they can have a better life for themselves is the answer we should not teach that they are illegal but teach that they are part of this country also and we must accept them as normal human beings. Jobs will always be hard to get especially when so many of us apply for them we must push for a higher education that way when it comes down to picking an individual you know you are better than the rest of the others who applied.
