Summary: The Benefits Of Immigration
The benefits of immigration is that it allows us to fill our workforce with people willing to work, which in turn increases production. When immigrants come into this country they normally come to work and live the american dream. This desire, results in a work ethic that in some occasions cannot be matched by US citizens, so jobs that US citizens are unwilling to do are done by immigrants willing to work. This increase in employment generates more revenue for the Government through taxes. The more people in the US working the more money the Gov. will have. Immigration also diversifies our society, unlike any other country. The more diverse our country is the more we will learn about other cultures and judge others less. The cost of immigration is that it can undermine American workers because, immigrants are used to working for lower wages in other countries so when they come to the US they take jobs from americans because they work for less. This leaves many Americans unemployed and unhappy. Also, many immigrants that come into this country do not have much money, so they need Government aid. The increase in immigrants is a huge burden on public programs. Another cost, is that some immigrants come into the US to avoid prosecution from their country. Immigrants like this is a danger to our society and raises our crime rates. I agree with most of the immigration policies such as Arizona’s law that allows police officers to check anyone’s citizenship and report anyone who is illegally in this country. I agree with this policy because anyone in this country illegal is breaking the law and should be treated like a criminal. Im okay with allowing immigrants into this country, I do not want to close the boarders, however there is a right way to do it. A policy I disagree with is denying healthcare to an illegal immigrant. Although they are in the country illegally I do believe every human has the right to healthcare and should be assisted regardless of citizenship or willingness
