Until the government decides what to do, we are going to be in this recession. What gets me the most is the U.S. points the figures to immigrants that are exploiting the laws; Which isn’t true, I see so many citizens exploit the laws with taxes, welfare, disability, and
This could have created more opportunities for those in the United States suffering from the depression. However, the United States could not have gotten involved for the same reason of creating more jobs. With the war creating more employment in the country, more people would be able to have jobs and support their families. The United States was a primary supplier of goods to Europe, therefore ending the war would end this ‘alliance’ trade with Europe, which would have hurt the United States economy even more. The third reason as to why we should’ve been involved in Europe during the Holocaust is because the United States involvement in Europe could have prevented Hitler and the Nazis from taking over Europe.
But the problem is that illegal immigrants are already taking the jobs of citizens. The benefit of giving these illegal immigrants amnesty is that since they are already working in the United States, there would be a tax increase by being able to receive income tax from them. By taxing them they will help pay for social security, and other government funds that will help the unemployed people find jobs and survive. Many illegal immigrants take jobs on farms and places that U.S. citizens don’t want to work, they do plenty of jobs that Americans wouldn’t want to do. So affecting the number of jobs in the United States is definitely a factor but it is not as significant as people think it is.
Along with the treaty America, Britain, and France tried to put into place Wilson’s 14 point system. This system was thought to design a peaceful world where the League of Nations would be formed. This system failed however, as many points were left unfulfilled. The senate voted against America’s involvement in a League of Nations. With the Great Depression, foreign affairs were the furthest thing from anyone’s mind, and America pushed forward in pacifist
The Undocumented in the U.S. Illegal Immigration has become a nationwide epidemic in the U.S. with an estimated 11.8 million undocumented immigrants in 2007 and accounting for 3 percent of the population. (Hoefer 1) Over the years the debate over whether or not to allow illegal immigrants to live and work in the United States has become a lengthy struggle for some that are trying to obtain citizenship legally. As an industrialized nation, the U.S. depends on these immigrants to provide a work for hire service for cheap during economic turmoil. There are several advantages that stem from illegal immigration that should be pointed out.
The idea of an immigration reform has been talked about for the past few years. Many think it’s a good idea and many not so much. Some believe that it will bring bad things for the economy, that it would bring plenty of competition for American born workers, and that many more immigrants would be influence to cross the border to get advantage of the reform. At the same time they don’t step into the shoes of those who don’t have some type of medical insurance, that aren’t capable of visiting their families because there is no easy way back into the country, they don’t think about the children who are separated from their illegal parents. Most of what they believe is wrong, economy would be pushed up, the reform will create many more jobs for people, and there will probably be some type of system to know how long someone has lived in this country.
Immigration in America: The Heated Debate A melting pot of cultures and ethnic groups, the United States of America has always been a safe haven, a land of opportunity, and a chance at a new beginning. It is the “country one came to in order to escape from one’s father, both literally and figuratively. It was the country where one put aside the heavy lumber of inherited identity and tradition and was freed to begin again.” (McClay, 579) However, America is no longer in the same place it was twenty-years ago, we are facing yet another recession and feeling a drain on our economic resources. How long are we suppose to continue accepting the rest of the world’s down trodden and needy? When do we finally declare it
No Amnesty For Non-Citizens Illegal immigration in our current society is a much bigger problem than most people realize. The growing number of illegal immigrants arriving in the United States every year is a problem that needs to be addressed by our politicians in Washington and all over the United States. To deal with the illegal immigration problem, all that needs to be done is for officials to enforce laws more efficiently. Preventing new people from coming here illegally, and convincing those already in the United States to leave under their own will. This could be carried out and paid for by individual states that want or need the illegal population to be reduced drastically.
They’ve already went through the dangerous and hard part of getting into the Country, why not take the extra step? When asked this question immigration analyst Daniel Costa says “even with legal citizenship would an American honestly be willing to give an immigrant a chance at a new life, most would say no”. (Costa) Really the biggest problem most people see with immigrants is the whole job and population situation. But really this is not that big a deal to most people who do not want low paying jobs with bad health benefits and hard labor because that’s the typical job these immigrants are taking, and in all reality only a few Americans are willing to take. (Costa) Most Americans point out the bad and disadvantages that immigration brings, but immigration does bring benefits.
Many illegal immigrants get benefit from SS by using illegal social security cards. “But because of so many illegal workers who use bogus Social Security cards to get jobs, billions of dollars of Social Security deductions are made each year as well as employer payments into Social Security on behalf of those workers” (truthorfiction.com) Many think that illegal immigrants should not get any benefit from the social security money because even though they do pay taxes to the government as any other legal citizen do they think that’s the price they pay for working illegally in the United States. “[Illegal immigrants] paid into the system simply because that was the price to pay to get a in the United States.” (snopes.com) Also many believe that illegal immigrants get more benefits than what they deserve as "The average illegal immigrant family receives an average of $30,000 in governmental benefits! Yet they pay only about $9,000 in taxes per year. That creates a $21,000 shortfall that the American taxpayer has to make up.
