A good plan to get rid of illegal immigrants in the U.S. will remove illegal immigrants in a very feasible way, and would not cost our country a fortune. Illegal immigrants have been a problem lingering in the U.S. for many years now. In the recent past, Americans just started noticing how illegal immigrants living in the U.S. can cause many problems. A shocking statistic is that 1/3 of all federal and state prisons are filled with illegal immigrants. The problem with this is that it is costing American tax payers $1.6 billion annually.
Among other things, employment law provides the opportunity for wage replacement of disability due to workplace injury and if possible, promotes return-to-work in the worker’s former job (Annarino & Hayden, 2006). It is also noted under the federal immigration law that undocumented or illegal aliens cannot lawfully work in the United States and employers cannot consciously employ them. However, insufficient enforcement of immigration laws had enabled the widespread hiring of undocumented workers in low-wage and labor-intensive sectors of the U.S. economy. An imposing question of this dilemma is whether illegal alien workers have the right to enforce state law
Unlawful War The battle over immigration in the United States has been going on for years; today the big issue is illegal Latinos living in our country. Many laws have been passed to control the increasing number of illegal aliens that are entering our country, but all have failed to eliminate the problem. Jan Brewer, governor of Arizona, passed a law allowing law enforcement officers to arrest any immigrant with “reasonable suspicion” of being in the country illegally. The law known as Senate Bill 1070 or SB 1070 for short has caused an uproar throughout the nation. Not only will the law condone racial profiling, raise constitutional issues, and political problems, but it sets the stage for other states with immigration problems to follow.

The US became a world power for many reasons. Some could include being a democratic government of checks and balances, a strong military power, and high ethical standards of justice. But in 2011, the Census Bureau estimated that 49.7 million Americans or 16 percent of the country are considered poor. (Government
Illegal immigrants who do not pay taxes are costing the American tax-payers because of their visits to the hospital and the education that America provides for their children. "The economic and social consequences of illegal immigration... are staggering... Illegal aliens have cost billions of taxpayer-funded dollars for medical services. Dozens of hospitals in Texas, New Mexico Arizona, and California, have been forced to close or face bankruptcy because of federally-mandated programs requiring free emergency room services to illegal aliens…The total K-12 school expenditure for illegal immigrants costs the states $7.4 billion annually" (Haughen
By blatantly disregarding both the local and federal laws, illegal immigrants eliminate benefits such as jobs, schooling, and public services away from those of us who were born here or have gained these rights legally. ‘Immigrants and their children also account for nearly two thirds of the increase in the population lacking significant if any health care. This creates significant cost for taxpayers and it drives up the costs for insured Americans as providers pass along the costs of the treatment of those who are uninsured to paying customers” (Canarota, 561) Hospital administrators are pushing the legislation to help reimburse hospitals for the emergency care of these immigrants, providing them with $1.18 billion dollars a year. Today there is an increase in the population of school age children. This means more crowding and less supplies and resources for the students.
It should just be requirement same requirements as an employer and most employers do drug testing. Why should not that be so of applying for assistance? Ellen Brandom, a Republican state representative in Missouri, state that American tax payer’s work had for their livings and it are not fair that their tax dollars go to support illegal activities.” (Service)This is an extremely valid point each and every person that works contributes their tax dollars. It should be put to proper use for people that need that extra help to feed themselves or their families. It has been proven that it does save the taxpayers money but, there are still groups that are fighting the implication of bills like this.
Reforming Immigration The issue of immigration has been a topic of contention since shortly after the inception of the United States. With over 10 million undocumented immigrants in the US (as of 2009), the issue of illegal immigration continues to divide Americans. Some people say that illegal immigration benefits the US economy through additional tax revenue, expansion of the low-cost labor pool, and increased money in circulation. They contend that immigrants bring good values, have motivations consistent with the American dream, perform jobs that Americans won’t take, and that opposition to immigration stems from racism. Opponents of illegal immigration say that aliens who break the law by crossing the US border without proper documentation or by overstaying their visas should be deported and not rewarded with a path to citizenship and access to social services.
There have been many studies which suggest that each pedophile molests and average of 148 children over their lifetime. Considering that estimate, the deportees alone could have accounted for 900,580 victims. -29 percent of the U.S. prison population is comprised of illegal aliens, at an annual cost to the American taxpayers of more than $1.6 billion.” (Gibson, 2010) Questions: Should Government, in failing to secure the borders, be held liable for crimes committed by illegal aliens? Should local authorities be authorized to enforce federal immigration laws to assist ICE? Should public services be refused to illegal aliens?
Jenna Taylor Emily Bayus Lindsay Shewmaker English 102 1 December 2013 Illegal Immigration: The problem and the Solution [INSERT INTRODUCTION HERE] In the United States of America, as of 2011, there are an estimated eleven million illegal immigrants from across the globe (mostly coming from Mexico). Illegal immigrants that come from around the world are simply looking for the good ole “American Dream”, and that’s what we have to offer, right? So why not just let them enter peacefully, so that they can fulfill this dream, and live happily ever after. I mean heck, the only reason that we, as Americans have any opposition over illegal immigration is because of racism, right? Wrong.
