Racial profiling has been an issue existing long time ago, and throughout time somehow we are improving that issue, but now Arizona state is actually making it a law to make racial profiling to search for those “aliens” as they are called the illegal immigrants that are in that state. To allow police to harass a person just from a simple suspicious is atrocious. This is not a good enough reason to be profiling someone of being an illegal immigrant, it might not be what they intend to do, but this is going to do more harm than good, because since when are people fine with having someone profiling you of a certain race
Farmers can help stimulate the local economy with little effect on product availability by hiring only legal workers. There are moral and ethical implications to this illegal practice as well. Illegal workers technically do not exist. Therefore, established labor laws that protect American workers do not apply. The sometimes poor conditions and low wages exploit illegal workers and propagate the negative correlation between illegal aliens and agriculture.
Some debates talk about citizenship, border security, driver's license, mass deportations, threats, economic burdens, and higher crime rates. For example, in America, 72% of legal citizens oppose allowing illegal immigrants the ability to obtain a driver's license (Miller). Other problems create disadvantages towards American citizens and workers, such as the Southwest seeing an increase in mass murders, sexual assaults, kidnappings, shootings, armed robberies, burglaries, and more, most being tied to illegal immigration (Greenblatt). These problems further drain public budgets and intensify competition for jobs, social services, and low-cost affordable housing because of the congestion in cities and towns that involve minorities, the homeless, everyday citizens, and both legal and illegal immigrants. Throughout the current wave of immigration, polls have consistently found that the public, at large, favors curbing immigration.
Also, while the number of immigrants increases, unemployment rates in America decreases. There are hardly any Americans that have to compete with immigrants in the job market. The U.S. needs to embrace immigration and the beneficial contributions that are gained from immigration. U.S. citizens are under the impression that immigration increases poverty. Americans believe that immigrants will come here and take away
The United States has had a proud history of accepting all people with the desire to better themselves and fulfill the American Dream. The most often used argument against illegal immigration is that it is detrimental to the overall economic feasibility of the United States. Although many illegal immigrants pay taxes and improve local economies, it is much better in the long term for US immigrants to be of legal status, as this would eliminate many problems currently faced by them. For example, if the current system legalized all immigrants, it may be even better for the economy as well as for their human rights, because there would be no more black-market smuggling economy. This move would also allow, “immigrants to have higher productivity
At the same time, it gives the companies using them, a big advantage on their revenue, because the staff charges become lower than the companies who has legal labor. For the companies who take advantage of the illegal immigrants, there is a big pro with very cheap labor, but they also take a huge risk, if it is discovered, they would end up with a huge bill, and other punishments. A con to the United States is that they would not be paying taxes, so the government would not get their income from them, and at the same time, the illegal immigrants’ lives a life in a bad environment. They could eventually end up being blackmailed to pay some of their already low paycheck, so in the end, it would simply not be worth to live the life of an illegal immigrant. From that we can conclude that there in the end are not really any pros being an illegal immigrant.
People on the other side of this argument claim that immigrants help by taking unwanted jobs with very little pay, and in doing that they are helping keep the prices of domestic goods down across the country. Can immigration be really called a problem? It is likely that most people would call immigration a major problem. Even though immigrants take the lowest of domestic jobs and it is agreed that too much money is being spent to thwart illegals from trying to come into the country, immigration ultimately helps the economy because immigrants take undesirable jobs and there is no statistical evidence that immigration is harming our country in any way. In fact the opposite is the truth; there is evidence that immigration helps the economy in boosting the amount of jobs and that wages are altered in a positive way for everybody who works legally.
Professor Bailey Written Composition October 24, 2012 Illegal Immigrants Help More than they Hurt Going back in history you probably can recall that America was founded by illegal immigrants. Without them who know if we would even be. So why are we so hard on the illegal immigrants now? They made a change once who’s to say they can’t and won’t do it again but things can only happen by opportunity and availability. We have the availability we just need to give them the opportunity.
Argumentative Essay The American people don't have any problems with seasonal workers. Those are the workers who do the jobs that most of the American citizens don't want to do or are physically unable to do them. The concerns rise when seasonal workers try to steal the good jobs that citizens should have the first chance to. If the seasonal workers greatly contribute to the country, congress should reform the visa system and give them a chance to advance in the United States by making easier acceptance. There are unpleasant aspects of immigration, which includes the hardships faced to reach America and the conflict to gain acceptance.
In fact, in the regions where immigrants have settled in the past two decades, crime has gone down, cities have grown, poor urban neighborhoods have been rebuilt, and small towns that were once on life support are springing back” (MacDonald, Sampson 2012). Whether or not people are for or against immigration, it is very obvious that immigration rarely has negative effects on the country they choose to migrate to. Just because they left their home country, by no means does that mean they want to create crime in another country. Since when did wanting to find a better way of life ever negatively affect anyone around them? Never.
