The impact of illegal immigrants in the United States can largely impact the economy in both beneficial and negative ways. This particular debate is very controversial and after doing some research I too, can see both sides this controversial issue has on our economy.

These social welfare programs are funded by taxpayers in order to keep them available, the benefits which include but are not limited to the following: unemployment benefits, temporary assistance for needy families, financial aid for education, and food stamps.

We’ve allowed a few very wealthy people to accumulate a massive amount of political and economic power in this country.
