BENEFITS:
- lower prices of goods because of lower wages to the illegals
- help the economy because it helps foreign economy
- more money spent in the US
- more GDP
- more diverse country
- sports and entertainment
- military (i believe there are 600,000 immigrants serving now)
CONSEQUENCES:
- competition for jobs (both skilled and nonskilled work)
- inadequate housing for illegals
- drain the economy because illegals aren't paying taxes and still use the welfare system and the workers compensation and emergency room. tax payers pay for this.
- illegal immigration causes discrimation to the "foreigners" who are here legally
- hostility among people because this issue is so controversial
- illegals are breaking the law, should we just allow that to happen and give them amnesty?
Another problem connected- Globalization- we don't need illegals coming over here to take the jobs because the business are already sending the jobs to them leaving americans workers unemployed.
