Schweiker, Richard S. “Is Amnesty For Illegal Aliens A Sound U.S. Policy? Con.” Congressional Digest 56.10 (1977): n. pag. Print.
Richard S. Schweiker wrote this journal to voice his opinion on how he thinks illegal immigration is terrible and will ruin America economically. Richard states that the United States needs to deport them because knowing about them and not doing anything is like rewarding them for violating our laws. Allowing employees to knowingly employ aliens should also stop, because if you cut them off from the source they have a less chance of getting jobs.

    “Illegal immigration is crisis for our country. It is an open door for drugs, criminals, and potential terrorists to enter our country. It is straining our economy, adding costs to our judicial, healthcare, and education systems” – Timothy Murphy. Mr. Murphy obviously has a very strong opinion regarding immigration but he is not wrong in his description. Immigration, in my opinion, is the biggest social issue that could threaten the survival of the American republic. Some of the reasons that I believe illegal immigration will lead to its downfall are that it hurts the economy, puts a burden on taxpayers, and can bring in violence, drugs, and terrorists.…

    In history class the United States of America was commonly referred to as a “Melting Pot” of cultural and racial backgrounds. The open–immigration policy that was maintained until the late nineteenth century helped to populate the United States. From 1800 thru 1890, the United States population grew from 5.3 million to 62.6 million (Brunner 392). Immigration had a huge impact on how the United States grew socially and economically. It was a new world that offered hope and new beginnings. It was place of safety and freedom, a place where opportunity and success could be found around every corner. Today some still see the United States as a place to prosper, however to those who were born and lived here see it in a different light. It is a place where native born citizens are continually being pushed out of their communities because of weak immigration policies. They deal with overcrowded education systems and lack of adequate job opportunities to support themselves and families and where politicians say one thing when to get in office do another when there. A survey that was taken in September 1994 showed that out of 800 people, 49 percent were bothered about the presence of illegal immigrants. Over a decade later in April 2007, 45 percent of 1009 people surveyed were personally worried about the presence of illegal immigration (Segovia 378). With these social, economic, and political inequities, the United States must adopt and implement stronger immigration policies restricting immigration and preventing further deterioration of its society.…

    Schumer,Upfront Magazine,2016 has made clear “Far to many people illegally cross our borders,and we turn away too many people who want to legally enter our country-people who could invent new technologies,create jobs,and boost our economy”.Senator Charles E. Schumer point is that so many people keep crossing over and we keep loosing space to let better people in.But these immigrants can be even better ,they might be able to help make more money here in the U.S.A.Of course,it is possible to disagree with the view that undocumented immigrants that get a path to citizenship will improve our economy and instead argue that by letting them get get a path to citizenship this will cost more taxpayers money.However,the weight of the evidence is on the other side.What must be remembered is that even if we use these taxpayers money we will be helping these immigrants.Who might be able to come up with new business which can create new jobs. This is fundamentally why we should help undocumented immigrants get a path to citizenship to improve our…

    Although employing illegal immigrants can result in a positive to the United States economy, they are still seen as a threat by americans and native born workers because they are competing for jobs and using american resources and bringing down wages of native born workers. In an article, Immigration Redistributes Income from Poor U.S Workers, by SIRS Issues Researcher, George Borjas an economist from Harvard, recognized as “America's leading immigration economist” by others insist that illegal immigrants are responsible for reducing the wages of many native born workers. The contribution of illegal and legal immigrants that comes from the negative impact on the native born workers does not come close to the contribution generated by the native born workers.(George Borjas) George Borjas does not deny the fact that business owners and native coworkers can profit from employing illegal and legal immigrants. George Borjas himself says “The profits of business owners and other workers are estimated to increase an estimated $437 billion” (Borjas). George borjas suggest that in order for that to happen more wages would have to be reduced. George Borjas is wrong because like Eduardo Porter explained already illegal immigrants are willing to work for less money so businesses can still exist and…

    Since the presidential debates began, many American citizens have started questioning the trend of immigration to the United States. In the middle of September 2015, Republican Party candidate Donald Trump stated, “We have illegal immigrants that are treated better, by far, than our veterans” (Schleifer). His foreign policy ideas made many American citizens ask themselves contradicting questions about immigrants – Should undocumented immigrants be able to stay in this country or should they be deported? Are immigrants genuinely taking jobs or are they aiding the country by strengthening it through hard work? The rising issue of undocumented immigrants in America has caused people to either oppose them and want them to be deported or support…

    As of date, the undocumented workers figure have accounted for around 5% of the US labor force. However, with the lack of proper immigration reform, this enormous portion of the US labor force will descend all the way through the cracks that presently undermine the economy. The continuation of a huge underground labor market continues to allow wages of some industries to remain synthetically low, which on the other hand, contributes to a decline in workplace safety protocols, which have helped to destabilize the security of the American workforce. Reforming the US immigration system should be seen as part of the solution, and not as a long-term impediment, to fixing its economy. The Labor Department data also demonstrated a clearer picture of what jobs immigrants hold in the US. It shows that foreign workers are more likely than US citizens to work in professions such as food preparation business, computers, math and science-related areas, including buildings and grounds maintenance. Nevertheless, most Americans are more expected to work in administrative, sales, trade and the financial sector than their immigrant…

    The evening news is ripe with controversial legislation, policy and debate from the lawmakers of the United States. Some of the most interesting headlines in recent history discuss the huge battles on labor laws in Wisconsin and Iowa, the anticipation of a Republican front runner for the upcoming Presidential elections, and discussion of our nation’s ability to understand and predict future happenings in Libya, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Any of these topics could spark a heated conversation in any coffee house or roadside diner in this country but perhaps there is no issue which stays on the forefront, which riles testy tempers, and which needs to be discussed so much as this country’s policies on immigration. Certainly immigration has served as a major theme of nearly every generation of this country’s existence from the early waves of settlers, to the Chinese influx during the railroad days, to the pouring in of Europeans through Ellis Island but never before has the media clung to the issue with such tenacity bringing about the public demand for change. The laws in place are not working to curb illegal immigration and the harshest policies are serving to destroy communities and drive away the very hard-working and humble personalities that this country needs the most. Now is the time for the government of the United States to considerately review and amend laws regarding immigration to this country and provide a modern, safe and reasonable system for immigration.…

    David Cole's "Five Myths about Immigration," while not a persuasive argument, is obviously a personal issue for the author who believes Americans treat immigrants poorly. He introduces the reader to "Know Nothings," or "Native Americans," who blame every problem in America on the immigrants (Cole 189-90). In the introductory paragraph, Cole attempts to obtain the reader's sympathetic feelings as he writes with great passion when he describes the mistreatment his Irish Catholic immigrant ancestors endured (190). This in turn raises the question of how objective he could remain when presenting his arguments. Coles' attempts to disprove the five myths about immigrants are not effective as his tone is often too personal, clouding his judgment, and his statistics and some data are either lacking credibility or logic.…
