500 Word Essay On Immigration

500­word essay.
1. There are already millions of undocumented workers in the U.S. Would you favor granting them amnesty since they are working or make them leave and file the proper forms and papers?
2. Do you believe the U.S. is doing enough to prevent undocumented workers from sneaking into the country?
3. Would you favor a cap on the number of immigrants entering the U.S. and why? 4. What do you think are some of the economic effects—positive and negative—of having so many immigrants living in the U.S.?

Now that I’m going to be graduating high school this year my concern for finding a job could be harder due to undocumented workers. Employers hire immigrants because they work longer hours for less money because they accept any offer as long as they get paid. I think that undocumented workers should leave and get their proper paperwork and forms filed in order to work in the United States. It’s not fair if someone comes to my country without permission and takes jobs that United States citizens should have the first opportunity too. I understand they have financial struggles in their own country but by coming to the U.S undocumented puts a strain on the United State’s economy and then slowly makes the U.S have financial struggles.
America’s immigration system is broken. Too many employers game the system by hiring undocumented workers, and there are 12 million people living in the shadows.
Neither is good for the economy or the country. President Obama is eager to work with both the House and the Senate on a comprehensive solution to immigration reform, similar to the bipartisan legislation that passed the Senate in 2013. Immigration isn’t is

the biggest problem in the U.S. in my eyes. The effort given by the president is enough in my opinion in preventing undocumented workers from sneaking into the country. The president took action to fix as much of the broken system as he could through his immigration accountability executive actions. These actions will help secure the border, prioritize felons, not families, and hold undocumented immigrants accountable by requiring them to pass a criminal background check and pay their fair share of taxes, and modernizes the legal immigration system. These are common­sense steps, but only
Congress can finish the job.
Also putting a cap on the immigrants entering the United States would be an effective way of keeping track of how many there are and how well we are doing on keeping them from sneaking in. The United States is already over populated and the worlds largest polluter. If the population continued to increase the pollution would increase and become another national problem to face. Also without laws on immigration imagine how many immigrants would move into the U.S. At the present time millions of people have immigrated to our country without permission and without committing to any agreement to abide by the rules governing our way of life. In my opinion, this is a travesty. Important components of humanism are personal responsibility and respect for others, and the illegal immigrants to our country have disregarded these ideals. It is estimated that there are 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United
States today, and their impact on the economy can be perceived as positive as well as negative. A positive to having immigrants come to the United States is fulfilling the jobs that most americans don’t want. Given that most Americans do not compete with undocumented workers for jobs, there has not been a significant shift in the wage rate.
A negative aspect is that most undocumented workers receive their payments in cash, and therefore, are not subject to federal tax deductions. If they do pay federal taxes, it is because they acquire fraudulent information, and their wages are usually so low that their contributions are insignificant. Consequently, many people argue that these

immigrants are costing our government a substantial amount of money by receiving benefits such as education, health care, food assistance programs, and welfare.
