    Effects of illegal immigration in America 2010

    Here is a copy informative essay that I wrote on on 1/10/2010. I know some will get angry and frustrasted in reading it. But, I am here to be honest, and direct to everyone so that you can make your own opinion of Illegal Immigration in America 2010.

    While America accepts immigrants from all over the world with open arms, and gives the immigrants hopes for a brighter future, it frowns at the millions of immigrants that try, and successfully enter America illegally. With these illegal immigrants from almost every nation in the world crossing the American borders daily, many areas of the country, the workforce, and the economy greatly suffer. The following expository essay that I will present will give the reader more insight in the growing problem that America is facing with illegal immigration, and illegal immigrants in the workforce. This will include information about many topics on the effects of illegal immigration. While hurting America, the effects of illegal immigration causes job loss, brings criminal activity, creates a burden on the Health Care system, hurts the American economy, and causes concern about the nations National Security.

    The border between the Unites States and Mexico is approximately 2,000 miles long. It stretches from the San Diego, California, to Brownsville, Texas. The border is a 24 hour watch with high tech security cameras, radar, ground sensors, and other means of securing the border. A border fence is currently along a 670 mile part of the American border to help keep illegal immigrants from entering the country without proper documentation. And some states have deployed their own National Guard for additional security. Many of these illegal aliens are looking for work, some come here for criminal activity, many are smuggling illegal drugs, and these are the fears the American people have in this country.

    Without swift changes in the enforcement of the borders, tougher laws on apprehending illegal aliens and more strict penalties on employers who employ illegal aliens, the problems with the southern borders will only be worse. The borders will not be fully secure until the Government takes the initiative, and gives the borders more attention so that the country can successfully defend from individuals harmful to the American way of life. According to the some of the different agencies an estimated 800,000 illegal aliens cross our borders each year. And that seems to rise on a yearly basis. The countries legislature needs to pass tougher laws with dealing with illegal aliens, and needs to penalize all business that employ illegal aliens to a point that they can lose their business license. The lawmakers of this country must stop the politics, and pass laws quickly as America’s workforce is slowly being taken over by illegal aliens coming to this country looking forwork.

    With illegal aliens living in America, a large amount of them also work in America. A majority of these workers work in low wage jobs without paying the necessary taxes required, and this affects not only the Federal Government, but to the States, and Local Governments also. This is spread all over the country from coast to coast. No city, town, or state is free of illegal aliens and their desires to find tax free employment. It is the job of the Federal Government to control, and police these undocumented workers from gaining employment. With an estimated 11 million illegal aliens in America the number of illegal workers in the country is taking its toll on the American workforce. And with this many undocumented workers Local, State, and Federal Government tax agencies suffer just as much as the American worker. The loss of taxes by undocumented is staggering. Many undocumented workers work for nearly half of what the American citizen makes. And most of the time if that worker works past a 40 hour week he/she does not receive overtime pay. This is what many employers are looking for; more work, for less money. In most areas of the country one hears about a business raided by Immigration and Customs Agents looking for illegal aliens. Not only has the small business hired illegal aliens, but large corporations, too. In the Midwest, a large meat processing was the subject of a raid, and Immigration Agents found a few hundred illegal aliens. In Pennsylvania Federal Agents raided a plastics company apprehending 60 illegal aliens. In addition, many illegal aliens pay illegally money to individuals or even business to receive false documentation like driver’s licenses, or even Social Security cards so they can fraud a business to obtain employment. And with the unemployment rate in this country at an average of 10%, many Americans are growing more, and more frustrated that these illegal aliens are taking jobs from American citizens, especially with the economy the way it is.


    There can be a few positives that come with illegal immigrants. Many sources on the internet state that illegal aliens pay billions of taxes to the federal government, including Social Security each year. One source estimates that $9 Billion dollars a year is being paid to Social Security. Even though that, it does not say, it is all right that they work in America; it can help with the loss of taxes by American citizens who loses jobs to undocumented workers. With illegal immigrants unable to collect Income taxes from the Federal Government, the American public benefits. Washington Post (2006), “Overall, area immigrants pay nearly one-third of their income to the government — at least $10 billion a year — but those here illegally pay less than $1 of every $5 they earn in taxes, the report says. That is partly because they earn less but also because many are paid off the books and escape payroll taxesâ€

    I appreciate your comment about my essay, I wrote it i school, and was told it was good, so I thought this was the appropriate place. My 18 yr old son used it as an example for his work too.

    Good essay, montz1969. And welcome to the site. There are a lot of resources here for you and your youngun. Too many stories that get published from almost every nook of this country about the impact of illegal immigration -- not only on the U.S. but places like Europe, the U.K. and Australia which one person has not the time to read.
    Each day, when I get on this website there is something posted which does make me chew wallboard in the unfairness of it all.
