Most illegals have better lives than natural born Americans. The United States government complains that the immigrants are a problem yet clearly it is not solving the problem. Most immigrants do have jobs in the United States when over half the legal population cannot get jobs. “There are approximately 7.7 million illegal aliens employed in United States jobs in 2008 (End illegal immigration).”…

The undocumented immigrants serve the country and American society in time they were needed. most of them have involved building this country side by side the American citizen. there are millions of undocumented immigrants of the whole population living, working, attending school, and paying taxes for years.

The new generation of Immigrants “Who attended studies at university or college are able to find better jobs and they will build the economy in their new homeland” (Urrutia). Not all undocumented immigrants are illegal…
For as long as America can remember, throughout the years, hundreds of thousands illegal and legal immigrants from all over the world come to the United States.

Social Security numbers because of their legal status, they can apply to the Internal Revenue Service in order to get a taxpayer identification number which allows them to track their income and permits them to file taxes. Around eight million of undocumented immigrants in America are contributing billions to the federal funds by filing their personal income taxes. Undocumented immigrants are adding around ten percent of Social Security which is rising on average for more than fifty billion per annum because they will not be able to collect the benefits of Medicare taxes and Social Security that are automatically deducted from their paychecks. As a result, this revenue is transferred to the Medicare and Social Security of legal American citizens. Immigrants whether legal or not are producing important services to the America nations because they are local consumers and taxpayers as well, they are not just workers. Since 1990’s the number of no authorized; thus, United States’ economy has radically increased.…
About sixty percent of the undocumented population in the U.S. is comprised of people from Mexico (Salcido 1985). Because of this, the term, undocumented immigrant, is widely connected to the Mexican people. Along with the term, many negative associations are made with undocumented Mexican immigrants.

illegal immigarnts are placing a growing srain on the government at the local, state, and federal level.Many people believe immigrants are nothing more than potential criminals and terrorists.

Many Americans believe that immigrants are stealing jobs from them, when in reality most Americans do not have the willpower to get a job and the immigrants see an opportunity for a job and take it. By the time the natives apply for the job it is already taken because they were too late. Americans also say that immigrants do not pay their taxes, “According to a report from The Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy (ITEP), they pay a hefty amount of state and local tax, just like other people living in the United States. Collectively, America’s undocumented immigrants pay an estimated $11.64 billion in state and local taxes every year with at least 50 percent of undocumented immigrant households filing tax returns using Individual Tax Identification Numbers”(Forbes). That $11.64 billion dollars that is taken is from sales and excise taxes, property taxes and personal income taxes, Immigrants pay as much taxes as the average American does if not…
I believe that illegal immigrants should not be allowed to stay in our country. By making this statement, I am not saying that I am against immigration in any way. I am happy to welcome immigrants into our country, as long as they just live under our laws like the rest of us. If they come here legally, we would be able to do background checks on them before letting them into our country so there is less of a chance of crime being committed by immigrants. I think that if immigrants want to live in our country, they should find a job and use that money to find a place to live. However, immigrants should not just use our government’s money for their possessions because when they continuously abuse the welfare system, American taxes increase at tremendous rates each year to pay for them.…
