Should Illegal Immigrants Continue Living In The United States

Throughout American history, millions of people from around the world have taken the risk of leaving their homeland for a chance to seek a better life for themselves in the United States. Some come legally, others come illegally. Some come to escape religious persecution, while others come to seek out an opportunity. However, there has been a multitude of clamors by many American politicians and citizens arguing that illegal immigrants have threatened the American way of life by creating unemployment for many Americans workers and hurting the United States economy. While some argue that illegal immigrants ought to be deported for being a burden for the United States, many think otherwise. Whatever one’s view is, it is critically important to
By its very nature of the principles in which it was founded, America, more than any other country on the face of the planet, has opened its borders for those in search of opportunities and promises of the “American Dream.” Every day, America welcomes millions of newcomers around the world, and many take advantage of this privilege because the United States has provided many immigrants with a variety of life options that they may not have had in other nations, such as educational resources.

In addition, Americans believe that congress must pass a law that puts a ban on immigrants for the safety of its citizens, but if this so happens to be passed, “it will go
Those who argue against immigration do not realize the benefits and will never come to realize it, which is why the debate over immigration in the United States will be a concern for many years to come.

Therefore, America must allow millions of illegal immigrants to continue living within its borders because this nation was founded on immigrants, they strengthen the economy of the United States, and help shape the face of America for the better good. The blend of cultures is what makes the grand nation unique, a nation of people who value tradition and freedom for all beings. As a nation of immigrants “we must remember that the generations of immigrants that came from every corner of the world have helped lay down railroads, build our cities, and fuel our economy” ( Furman and Gray). For Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence said “We the people were born with unalienable rights,” rights many illegal immigrants dream of obtaining as they set foot in the promised land known as the United States of
