Should the Illegal Aliens from the Southern Border be able to become U.S. citizens.?

Question

I'm writting a paper on this subject for my English class. So if you can please give a yes or no answer, and if possible a reason why or why not. Also, i'm against them becoming U.S. citizens, so if you can give me some points for my side it would be appreciated.

No offense here, but seriously, Mexican Bandino why the hell did you waste your time writting that instead of putting up an argument???

Answer 1

No,they are circumventing US federal law by being here illegally.
Then they compound that by working illegally too.
I live in Arizona and the cost of this so called cheap labor is far too much.Its a drain on our city's and our state. Our schools are suffering the most due to over crowding.Plus its totally unfair to the people that are trying to come here legally thru the due process.Amnesty didn't work in 1987,within 5 years of that amnesty we had twice as many more illegal alien than we gave amnesty to.We must secure the borders and then begin systematic deportation of all illegal aliens.

The $1.3 billion in costs incurred by Arizona taxpayers is comprised of outlays in the following areas:

Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Arizona and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Arizonans spend approximately $820 million annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings.

Health Care. Uncom-pensated medical outlays for health care provided to the state’s illegal alien population is now estimated at about $400 million a year.

Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Arizona prisons and jails amounts to about $80 million a year (not including the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).

The unauthorized immigrant population pays some state and local taxes that go toward offsetting these costs, but they do not come near to matching the expenses. The total of such payments might generously be estimated at $257 million per year.

The fiscal costs of illegal immigration do not end with these three major cost items. The total costs of illegal immigration to the state’s taxpayers would be considerably higher if other costs such as special English instruction, school nutrition programs, or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers were added into the equation.

Answer 2

I'm against it, because it would be the same as if I snuck over the back fence to your house, walked into the kitchen, helped myself, then sat down in your living room and demanded that we watch the shows I like. By the way, I don't speak english, so you'll be watching my shows in my language with me. One big happy family? Well, maybe not...anyway, people crossing the border illegally are breaking the law, and a lot of states have demonstrated what kind of amounts to negligence on the issue for years, everyone keeps hoping I guess that the problem will just go away if they ignore it, and instead it's grown to the point where some serious questions need to be asked and answered about the future of our southern states, as well as the future of the country.

It's argued that the presence of illegal aliens has boosted the economy, but it's also argued that the influx of so many people has unduly burdened our infrastructure, and public services.

One thing to keep in mind on the illegal immigration issue is that it's also a global problem, not just something in America, and part of it has to do with runaway global population growth. People are going to seek opportunities, legally, or illegally, and when they can't find them at home, they make a beeline for the nearest place that looks like the lights are on, and try and find a job or do something else to raise money. Unfortunately, that's also led to other crimes, and problems, my forecast/prediction is that the problem will get worse before it gets better, and there'll be a lot of pressure on our country to solve other countries' problems for them. Whether or not we do that is up to the majority, and people need to read about the issue, and vote according to their views.
Like I say, I'm against illegal immigration, other countries need to do more to take care of their own people, and try harder to make more opportunities for their citizens so they don't feel compelled to take sometimes serious risks and break the law. We don't live in a perfect world, and it's a lot easier to say things like that than it is to do them, but that's the basic concept, anyway. How it all turns out, again, lies with the voters...if the majority stands against illegal immigration, it will be stopped, if they don't, it will continue...

Answer 3

In principle, I am against it. There are millions of people who have applied to come here legally and have to wait years for a visa. They should be allowed in before we allow illegals to stay.

However, politically, I accept that there is going to be a compromise (the alternative to a compromise being too horrible to contemplate). That compromise would have to include: payment of all back taxes with burden of proof being on the illegal to prove that IRS estimates of his income are wrong; no deductions or credits to be given that are only available to citizens or legal residents, ie, only give the deductions that a non-resident qualifies for; payment of all immigration fees with no waivers under any circumstances; a fine which reflects the fact that they have broken the law; denial of anyone who has committed any crime (other than crossing the border). Anything less would be a sell-out to American citizens and people, like me, who have come here legally and paid their way without being a burden on the American taxpayer.

Answer 4

No, plain and simple. The reason is my great great grandparents entered the US legally, and had educated themselves to adapt to the western society, but always kept their culture and respected others. They also worked hard instead of getting Govt handouts, and started their own family business and owned their home, which still exist in the family today. So, if you come into America undocumented, then you have broken a law, and must be dealt with like any other criminal in our society today. It makes no difference to me whether Americans will take a job scooping up cow s-hit versus an illegal who is undocumented doing it. Do you really believe that once they become legal that they will continue to do that work, come on lets all be truthful with each other. They will be looking for greener grass on the other side of the fence. thus, affecting jobs Americans have now.

Answer 5

There are thousands of people waiting to be admitted to this country legally.
people who come to this country have already shown a disregard for the law.
the majority of illegals in this country have few if any job skills, by making the citizens many with those skills will not be allowed to emigrate to the US.

by letting those who "broke into" our country become citizens aren't we asking for wave after wave of illegals to come over?

if we grant an amnesty for those already here what kind of message are we sending to the world? come her brake our laws and get a prize?

The short answer is come one come all, just come leagally!

Answer 6

Hell NO, I'm for giving them all the boot out the Country?

Ask the Millions of others immigrates who wait "sometimes like 10 years" outside of United States to enter the legal or Correct Way!!!

Answer 7

After asking and answering on yahoo for about a month now,I'm in favor of the government halting all immigration where ever the hell there from.This crap needs to come to an abrupt halt.Laws need to be enforced,laws need to be changed and our government needs to get its head out of its butt and make some hard line decisions.Wounds are beginning to fester and pretty damn soon gangrene will set in and all hell is going to break loose and this country will be in utter turmoil!

Answer 8

No. The illegal aliens in the USA should be made to feel unwanted so they wil leave and swim back across the Rio Grande.
Adios chico.

Answer 9

they are here now doing all the hard field work that nobody wants to do. its illogical for us to deport such a large number of people from our country! it would be very expensive and exhaustive! for one thing most of their children are u.s. citizens so we can't deport them and leave their kids. the thing is they keep coming and having kids here.... in the long run when they all die there descendents will all be citizens. making them citizens now won't change that fact. I say increase border patrol and make the ones already here be citizens so they can at least get appropriate medical care and be able to drive on the streets in case of an emergency. i don't want have an accident with an illegal and not get compensated for it because they have no insurance or license.

Answer 10

No. It sucks that their lives are so hard but they're taking out jobs and making our lives harder. They should go through the immigration process just like everyone else. It's not right for them to just come in here and take our jobs. We have families to feed too and when we can't afford to work for as little as they do we end up starving.
