Carlos Fuentes Versus Samuel P. Huntington

Carlos Fuentes is against the acquisition that Samuel P. Huntington brings up about immigration. In which Huntington focuses on the Hispanic immigration. Huntington brings up to main point in the article in which was that illegal immigrants costs government in money with education, welfare, law enforcement, and other costs.

The immigrant in this could possible bring trillions of dollars into the economy. Hispanic migrants are essential in the agriculture sector of the economy. The other side of the argument would say that America should deport the entire illegal immigrant but, by doing so it the GDP would lose 2.6 trillion dollars in ten years following the massive deportation. The myth of the immigrants cost America money is false while; the immigrants only pay 25,000 dollars in local and state taxes and pay 80,000 in federal taxes based on the National Academy of Sciences.
