Should Illegal Immigration Be Legal?
There are many arguments to illegal immigration one of these arguments are
that illegal immigration should not be allowed to cross over because it causes
nothing but an increase in the criminal rate and the other is yes it should be allowed
because it helps with economic success so in my opinion I say illegal immigration
should be allowed because it has done nothing but improved upon the U.S in
various ways such as doing work that many Americans would refuse to do without a
pay of thirty two dollars an hour while illegal immigrants will work for less than
minimum wage.
The first side is the side that agrees with immigration becoming legal they have
various arguments but the main one is that they do nothing but improve the
economic situation by doing jobs that are usually considered very unpleasant but
are paid a fraction of the price a legal citizen would receive just to support their
families and themselves as well which is a very great sacrifice to leave their families
in another country to come here to be ridiculed and abused by U.S corporations.
Now the second side which is that illegal immigrants should stay in their country
where in some countries this could be the case in others it is not at all an option at
it is escape to the U.S or starve due death or die of disease due to the poor hygiene
and living conditions as well as some countries have civil wars on going alongside
gang fights and civil unrest.
Another main point to illegal immigration on why it should be legal is that U.S
mortgage companies loan money to illegal immigrants which would massively affect
the U.S economy if they were all to be deported or foreclosed on it would be a
massive effect that would harm everybody involved except for the wealthy who
would benefit the most and would be able to pay less money to all workers in a take
it or leave it deal.
Welfare something people receive when they have little to no money and are in
need of government aid this is a reason they say illegal immigrants should be
deported which seems unfair as many Americans abuse of this system as well as
illegal immigrants causing the taxes implied to increase on all purchases and
services done and received.

Crime another reason they say illegal immigration should not be legal because
crime has no winners no matter who is involved because it wastes millions of dollars
in prevention and tracking down people who have already commit the crime.
Now that all of these topics have been discussed my opinion is that illegal
immigration should be made legal there are ups and downs but the negative effects
are much greater than the positive if it were to be kept illegal so if it were to be
made legal the U.S economy would increase and U.S corps would no longer be able
to abuse of cheap labor as well as get us out of the recession the U.S has been
going through by hard work and dedication and illegal immigrants would have a
much easier time thriving if they were allowed to come over allowing the U.S to
charge them tax because they know who and where they are as well as what they
are doing for a job so in my opinion illegal immigration made legal would only boost
the U.S reputation and financial situation.
