The Disasters of Illegal Immigrants Why should we provide amnesty to a group of people who didn't respect our country's laws enough to follow a legal process to come here, it's like we're rewarding criminal behavior which sends the wrong message to foreign countries and encourages continued illegal immigration. Letting Illegal immigrants become legal citizens can affect in causing disasters in our country. The three main reasons are that they can overpopulate our country, which can also lead into bringing in terrorists and drug dealers and that would be a major disaster. Lastly, buissness would be shut down because it is illegal to hire an immigrant. To start off with, if illegal immigrants migrate over to our country there will be a population imbalance, which in other words it can overpopulate our counrty. Crowding, that is, increases in the population density in certain regions. This is one of the basic disadvantages of immigration. This can imbalance to one nation's natural resources. When a country is overpopulated, there will be a high rate of unemployment because there aren't enough jobs to support population. It can lead to the rise of poverty and demands of strikes. It would also result in a high level of crime because the people will need to steal things in order to survive. But, overpopulation doesn't just affect the standard of living but also the enviorment. Every person takes up space, but space is needed for farmland and forests. The loss of these forests leads to extinction of plants and animals, these plants could contain cures for diseases that will never be found. While the conflict between overpopulation can lead into terrorism and drug traffficing, it would show them that it would be easy to enter our country. Another reason is, that this can lead terrorists and drug dealers to migrate to our country. With

    The current immigration policy is seriously treated as a national security issue due to the rise of illegal immigration, drugs smuggling, and terrorism in recent years (Andreas, 2009). Preventing another 9/11 has been at the top of the agenda in all recent presidential administrations, which has made the immigration policy to fall around this issue by creating new anti-terrorism programs and initiatives that restricts the admission of person into the United States (Andreas, 2009). Before 9/11 immigration in the United States was a “Low Politics” issue meaning that it was not a top priority for presidents, government and state officials (Andreas, 2009). During that time the United States and Mexican border was just a mangle chain like fence with no border patrol officers and anybody could leave and enter the U.S. as they pleased without going through any border searches (Andreas, 2009). After 9/11 the issue of immigration went from “Low Politics” to “High Politics” to the extent that many presidential campaigns have run promising that immigration will be one…

    Immigration to the United States is a very big debate in everyday life because there are two sides to this situation. There is the side that thinks immigration is horrible and they think everyone should go back to where they come from. Then there is the side that is completely ok with immigration and thinks they are just trying to come to america to get a better life and job so they can survive. They are completely different thoughts and ideas but i agree with the people who think they just want better jobs because it's true but i don't they they should come over here and take all of our jobs by working for less. They can work for less because any money to most of them is more than they had, and if all these immigrants are coming here and taking…

    If you were born in a poor country and you could barely survive, what would you do? If you heard that there are opportunities for a better life in more advanced countries, would you try your luck there in an attempt to provide a better life for your family? Although the reasons that brought all the immigrants to the Unites States may vary, a typical case is that in which an individual is born in a family with limited resources and he comes to the U.S. with hopes of having a better life. Those who have empathy would want to help those going through a difficult situation by letting them into our country. However, simply acting based on emotions is not sufficient; reasoning and logic are crucial when governing a nation. After an examination of…

    Supporting a growing population requires more resources and it’s a problem when you have people coming in by the millions. The increase of population puts strain on our nation by finding diplomatic solutions to food, materials and space. The amount of food we would have to produce to feed the growing population of the U.S. would create problems. Our resource base has started shrinking rapidly throughout the years. Immigration causes 3 major things to happen to natural resources. First, a large amount of immigration leads to a greater use of natural resources. Second it causes prices of raw materials to rise. Third, it requires creating timely and costly research for diplomatic solutions to substitute the…

    The population of illegal immigrants in the United States is a growing problem, literally. It is estimated by government and academic sources that the number of illegal residents in our country is about eleven million, as of 2010. This could very well be a problem, because it can lead to the overpopulation of some areas, which would devastate our need for jobs, space, money, and products. Also, if we were to open borders, the rapidly-increasing population would prove to conflict with our immigration quotas. Even if we were not to strongly enforce our immigration laws, our quotas would be very rapidly filled, leading still to illegal immigration. If we were to get rid of the quotas for Mexico and other large immigration countries, significantly more people would be entering from those countries and quickly overpopulating our country than any other countries, of which we still have immigration quotas on. The population of illegal immigrants would be nothing but a problem, so even if we were to open our borders, the population the then 'legal immigrants' would prove to be problematic.…

    The social impact of immigration has usually been negative. Immigrants are aware they aren’t welcome in “the land of the free” and are starting to feel as if they are being pushed out even if they have obtained US citizenship. For a long time “natives” of this country have claimed illegal immigrants are trying or have stolen all the jobs even though they’re jobs the “natives” don’t want to do. The social consequences of immigration are usually the cause for conversation and debate because “natives” view them as the reason for many problems. Things such as lack of jobs, a rise in crime, and the overall reason “natives” can’t live the life they want is all pinned on immigration. I don’t think that the problem is immigration I think it is a matter of who is immigrating and will they conform. By conform I mean get rid of all the cultural aspects that make them unique, like their religion or their clothing choices. Nativism is and will always be the main problem with immigration and nothing…

    Immigration is the movement of people, legally or illegally, from their country to settle in a foreign country for various reasons extending from job opportunities to religious freedoms. Immigration has been taking place for hundreds of years, beginning with the Colonial Immigration which took place in 1607 when English settlers first arrived in America (HIstory). Due to immigration in the United States, immigrants have become some of our scientists, engineers, and innovators, and began creating their own jobs, as well as owning various businesses, leading to the employment of many Americans and other immigrants. Immigrants have also began to improve our society technologically by developing new cutting-edge technologies and companies such as Google, Yahoo!, and eBay (Huffington Post). Without immigration, the United States would not have some of the businesses that we have now, nor would we have these advances in technology.…

    Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States reinforced their border patrols against illegal immigrants, terrorists and contraband coming into the United States. One of the major problems the United States has been facing for the past years regarding immigration reform has caused the country to collapse with conflicts, political convenience and presidential elections against immigrants. Border Patrol has caused many changes not just to the country, but most to the U.S.-Mexico border. Immigration laws should be fixed to help keep illegal immigrants in this country who have all the necessary requirements.…
