By all accounts, we are putting them to work.  And that's fine with most people, especially the people who hire them.  So there is no problem.\n\nBut problems were made.  Because they became more numerous, they became more visible, and so they got more notice.  Eeek!  An immigrant!  Two, three, a dozen, right over there!\n\nNow we have to sort out frightened people's "concerns" against the economic benefits of having them here to do our crop picking, lawn care, babysitting and other low-end jobs.

A normal healthy economy does not depend on immigration. Mass immigration normally does more harm than good by promoting social unrest, breaking infrastructure, destablizing population, and increasing poverty. Immigration requires three conditions to be a good thing: 1) there is somewhere for those people to go, 2) there is something for them to do and someone to pay them for it, and 3) they are willing to assimilate into the existing culture. Without those three then you have high crime, poverty, and/or invasion.

Increased immigration means more competition for low-skill jobs, and so low-skill jobs pay less.  This is bad for the existing poor, but may be good overall, as prices for goods and services are lower.\n\nLegal immigrants are screened for, among other things, what strain they might put on the government services.  This is the killer for the US.  It takes ten immigrants to pay enough taxes to put one immigrant in school, or to pay hospital fees for one baby to be born in a US hospital.  In California, emergency rooms can't afford to stay open, and schools are stretched to the limit with students who often have never been to school before, let alone can speak English.\n\nAnd we pay for those services in our taxes.  Those increased taxes are the drain of the US economy.  That money could be spent on more goods and services, or invested, but instead is used to provide services that should be provided by the wealthy, yet corrupt, Mexican government.

Your thesis needs to be arguable,  such as Better border defenses will curb illegal immigration,  or Better border defenses will not curb illegal immigration or The government needs to inact better immigration laws to help those people who legally want to immigrate to the US or The US needs to use whatever means necessary to control immigration.  That way you can add in legislation, border defenses etc.

Pro's are the same for all legal immigrants as are the cons. However illegal immigration, cost the taxpayers much to much money. Taxpayers foot the bill for attempts at keeping them out, for healthcare, for the welfare and food stamps when they are here, for incarceration when caught, for deportation and it's proceedings, and for the loss jobs to legal residents, through increased unemployment.

I spent 9 months trying to get a visa for my wife to come over here.  The INS said that they had sent the paperwork to the embassy and the embassy told us they didn't have it.  What I learned from this experience is that the people who work for the INS (now Homeland security) are idiots who don't care what grief they cause.  I once looked into getting a job there and found that the starting pay was somewhere in the 20's so these are McDonald's manager rejects. Don't expect anything from them.\n\nShe would be better off if she was a terrorist!  Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi were issued valid student visas for their Florida flight school six months after they had flown into the World Trade center.  \n\nMy advice is to hire an immigration lawyer.  You have to force them to act.  It will be worth the money.

Problem #1: Population \n\nThe first problem I see with the current state of the immigration laws is the significant rise in population that has, and will, continue to occur over the next fifty years. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an estimated 1.1 million immigrants, both legal and illegal, enter the United States every year. 700,000 of these are legal immigrants; 120,000 are refugees, and between 250,000 to 300,000 are undocumented or illegal “aliens” ( Baldwin, 1995). The United States population at the moment is roughly 288 million people. If this trend of aliens is not decreased, the population will reach 400 million by 2050. How many people can America hold? \n\nProblem #2: Benefits Illegal Aliens Recieve \n\nCurrently, under federal law, undocumented foreign citizens are eligible for emergency healthcare, free schooling from kindergarten through high school, and W.I.C. or Woman, Infants, and Children nutritional program ( Baldwin, 1995). This is important to note because there are currently between eight and ten million aliens currently living illegally in the United States. An estimated 2.5 million of these illegal aliens currently reside in the state of California alone, due to the agricultural jobs that are readily available for cheap labor (Kadetsky, 102). It should not be surprising then that the residents of California were outraged over the amount of money that they were being forced to spend, and the amount of resources that were being used to support aliens that are not “allowed” to be in the United States in the first place. \n\n \n\nProblem #3: Homeland Security\n\nIn the Fiscal year of 2002, which runs October 1 through September 30, the United States Coast Guard, which is the country’s primary maritime, or sea going, law enforcement agency, intercepted 4104 immigrants from various South American countries (USCG, Para 2). Since then, the numbers of immigrants intercepted by the Coast Guard, has continued to climb at an alarming rate; jumping to almost 11,000 in 2004, 9,500 in 2005, and currently with less than two months into the 2006 physical year, there have already been 1,000 migrants accounted for and processed through the Coast Guard (USCG, Para 1). Illegal immigration can potentially cost American tax payers billions of dollars a year. The United States Coast Guard, whose primary obligation is to prevent the loss of life at sea, can not stop this problem by its self, it is mearly the first line of defense. It is up to the rest of America to join the fight and help put an end to this awful practice.\n i couldnt agree more they should learn our language

The main drawback is that it may create or promote a culture of dependency for the recipient. As a temporary measure to address a need, it may work. But it has to be temporary. A few years ago, Government toughened unemployement benefits by limiting them to a few weeks. That is the ideal use of Welfare because many people who receive it come to depend upon it rather then fend for themselves

Pros - can smooth over a lot of inter-employee issues. Can act as facilitator between employer and employee in sensitive discussions.\n\nCons - Can induce fear that "someone is trying to manipulate me".

The President wants to close the borders. This has international and domestic impacts.  Internationally, Mexico is our next door neighbor and a huge source of its funding comes from the funds sent home by immigrants to the United States.  Both the Presidential candidates in Mexico are running on platforms regarding OUR immigration policies.  We like friendly relations with our neighbors. \n\nDomestically, employers want to have access to lower wage workers.  Closing the borders will limit their access to those workers.  Their opposition would make it harder for Bush to address the issue.\n\nDomestically also, there is a huge illegal immigrant population which has never been screened for diseases we have eradicated here, as legal immigrants are screened. Probably more importantly from Bush's point of view, that huge group could easily hide a multitude of terrorists, since they have never been screened for that, either.\n\nSo in building a coalition to address this issue, Bush came up with a guest worker program.  As an incentive to screening the illegal immigrants already here, and for the more human reasons a number of people have already raised on these pages, he came up with a path to citizenship within that program.  That would also bring them within society so that the hard case undesirables wouldn't be shielded by Hispanics who would normally have nothing to do with them.\n\nHe is defending the country as he sees it.\n\nWhat do I think of his approach?  I could design a program with all of those elements that I could live with. Part of it would be to make sure the employers funded the social services needed to support their work force. That would also make their wages more on par with those of our own workers which would help even the playing field. Another part of my plan would be to make the whole thing conditional on a truly secure border. Unfortunately, Bush hasn't asked me to write up the program.
