Illegal Immigrants are an asset to your country.?

Question

Do you agree with me that illegal immigrants have made many industries in US to thrive.. Do you know that if every illegal immigrant left for home today many companies, industries would loose enough business to shut down and US citizens working in them displaced, and government revenue lost on these industries? think of all vehicles 11 million Illegals drive and the merchineries they use in their hard jobs, things bought here in your market?

Answer 1

i agree

Answer 2

See, funny you should say that. There is a saying in business: NO ONE is IRREPLACABLE. People that think they will never be replaced are people that are bringing down a business. Everyone from the Pres on down is a replacable component of the business. All industry will shut down if you leave?? Doubtful. And the vehicles that the 11 million illegals drive? Our air would be cleaner, and our highways less congested.

And since we are on the topic of the impact that illegal immigrants have on our country and its economy, how about this: How much money would our government make if all illegal immigrants paid taxes on the money they make? Would we be TRILLIONS of dollars in debt?? I know we would still have a deficit, but I think that the money from the 11 million that own autos and work would help slightly with that deficit. And how about the money that would be saved by our government if those 11 million undocumented workers were documented, and able to carry HEALTH INSURANCE? I think that would also help out with our money woes.

See, Americans aren't concerned about the jobs that illegal immigrants have - they just want them to pay their fair share for living in this country. Why should you get to use the government programs when you need them, but you pay nothing towards them while you are working?? I don't see the fairness in that at all.

So your "dooms day" scenerio on all illegal immigrants leaving: We would survive it. Companies would scale back, cut production to compensate for the reduced demand of certain items, and make adjustments in their business to keep going. So they don't make 10 million dollars this year - they make 5 million. So what? With the reduced payroll, they would be able to pay the workers still there a better wage, offer better benefits, make better contributions to 401K plans and retirement plans for their employees. They would also be able to pay better money for better equipment, and use some automated equipment (you don't think that assembly workers can't be replaced by computerized machinery?) that would take the place of 10 workers, with one person visually making sure that the machines were operating properly. I think that companies would make due, and fair just fine. I'm sorry to burst your bubble on crippling our economy.

I for one am willing to see how well we fair without all of the illegal immigrants here. If you want to leave, and then file properly, be my guest. I don't care who is in our country, just so long as they follow the LAW.

Answer 3

Very good point. All industrialized nations are facing this paradox. They want to keep immigrants out, but rely on them for survival. This need for outside workers is one of the driving factors in the expansion of the EU to include less developed Eastern European nations and to consider friendship clauses with countries such as Turkey.
It seems to me that there will be a time when borders will become more lax, or the immigration process more accessible. A lot of crime that "illegals" commit are a result of trying to scrape their way up in a society that needs but disrespects them. Laxer laws would result in less crime committed by immigrants and even tax collection (illegals would be legal, and as such, pay taxes). Also, jail populations are not necessarily a reflection of guilt (I wish they were), but they are a reflection of inequalities (how many illegal immigrants have good attorneys?).
The US gov. is extremely conservative now. Let's root for a surge in liberal voices in politics.

Answer 4

Employers make money, but the average taxpayer pays for the benefits like education and other services the illegal and their family use. LA County alone last year paid over $1 billion dollars for services for illegal immigrants. The state of California paid $10.5 billion.

That money comes out of our taxes and out of the education and health funds for our children and sick.

I don't really care how extra profitable agriculture might be with both our tax funded subsidies and our tax funded benefits for their illegal employees. What I care about is the fact that the school system my children attend is failing.

Answer 5

Your argument just goes to show that none of you should be in the USA. If an illegal group of people has the power you suggest, then the sooner that threat is removed, the better. Stand in line to get into America, like the millions of LEGAL immigrants have done.

Answer 6

Then why do you leave and do it? How about 'A Century Without Immigrants?' If you want to prove your point, that's the only way, cuz we're gonna make millions out the the new business of deportations.

You won't because you know your lying, that's why. The only way is to all leave.

Answer 7

wow, your right i wouldn't have to worry about being hit by any one of those uninsured 11 million motorists. sorry Honey, i think i could do without a few of those cheesy low rated restaurants. did you think that maybe all would be fine? you forget we shell out billions every year for the illegals medical, welfare, etc. no i think we would save money in the long run

Answer 8

I somewhat have continuously been for that. it may pay for his or her very very own deportation and what's left ought to be placed right into a pool to pay for those without components. the money replaced into obtained illegally, so, why not? i'm with you there.

Answer 9

illegal immigration proponents is that those who enter the U.S. by breaking the law are invariably "hard-working" and "law-abiding" once they get here.
1. That argument, however, has one major flaw. According to Justice Department statistics and the analysis of immigration experts, the "law-abiding" claim often isn't true.
As Investors Business Daily reported in March 2005:
"The U.S. Justice Department estimated that 270,000 illegal immigrants served jail time nationally in 2003. Of those, 108,000 were in California. Some estimates show illegals now make up half of California's prison population, creating a massive criminal subculture that strains state budgets and creates a nightmare for local police forces."
Citing an Urban Institute study, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies Steven Camorata noted in 2004: "Roughly 17 percent of the prison population at the federal level are illegal aliens. That's a huge number since illegal aliens only account for about 3 percent of the total population."
1. Former California Gov. Pete Wilson places the percentage of illegal aliens in U.S. prisons even higher. In 2001, he told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly:
"We had problems related to the costs of educating children who were acknowledged to be in the country illegally, healthcare costs. One in five in our prison population were illegal immigrants who had been convicted of a felony after entering the country illegally."
The Federation for American Immigration Reform also turned to the Justice Department to get statistics on criminal aliens. They report:
"In March 2000, Congress made public Department of Justice statistics showing that, over the previous five years, the INS had released over 35,000 criminal aliens instead of deporting them. Over 11,000 of those released went on to commit serious crimes, over 1,800 of which were violent ones [including 98 homicides, 142 sexual assaults, and 44 kidnaping].
"In 2001, thanks to a decision by the Supreme Court, the INS was forced to release into our society over 3,000 criminal aliens [who collectively had been convicted of 125 homicides, 387 sex offenses, and 772 assault charges]."
1. Up to a third of the U.S. federal prison population is composed of non-citizens, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons statistics - but not all non-citizen prison inmates are illegal aliens.
As to the "hard-working" claim, CIS notes: "The proportion of immigrant-headed households using at least one major welfare program is 24.5 percent compared to 16.3 percent for native households."
Investor's Business Daily concurs: "Once [illegals] get here, they are 50 percent more likely to be on welfare than citizens."
