Spring 2013 Illegal immigrants should be allowed into the United States. An illegal immigrant is any individual who enters America illegally, or one who enters legally, yet stays past their time allowed. I believe illegal immigrants are essential to the American economy, because they contribute more to the economy than they actually receive in benefits. As well as some current immigration policies are discriminatory. There are many arguments that support allowing illegal immigrants to America and the following is one of them. Illegal immigrants have a positive effect on America’s economy. It has been proven in history that prosperity follows immigration. In fact, economists point out the economic boom in the 1950s and 60s was driven by these so-called aliens. Illegal workers provide a flexible and low cost job labor job for the American companies. Without Illegal workers, many factories will fall and shut down. These workers do something no American would. They work in low paying positions and bite their tongues, because there is nothing they can do about it. Immigrants also give so much more than they receive, and because of it, are not a burden to the American economy. They pay millions of dollars in social security, that they will never collect or see again. As well as pay state taxes and sales. All this, and all immigrants want is a better job to live a better life. People say immigrants shouldn’t be allowed in America because they are taking advantage of the system, when in reality they’re actually paying for it. They don’t even qualify for healthcare of any sort. However, this is all fine with the American congress. Another tool to analyze is how some policies can be discriminatory against illegal immigrants. One of the reasons illegal immigrants should stay out of this country is because they’re criminals? This is only a percentage of them. It is unfair to say each and every one them is a
