Answer 2

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hardworking and honest (except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my kids, and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he, too, is hardworking and honest, except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. You must also let me fly my country’s flag in front of your house either beside or on top of yours. I'm hardworking and honest, um, except for well, you know.

And what a deal it is for me! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being an anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, and you need to learn my language so you can communicate with me.

Answer 3

Why would u want to suppoort that?

They are illegal and using up taxes that WE could be using for programs in the US like education and healthcare, to make sure that we have a good life.

If immigrants come here and with the intention of a better life, they should at least work honestly and legally and pay into taxes like the rest of us!

I lived in California for 20 years, and I can tell you that the economy there, especially agriculture, is dependent on illegal aliens. The next time you buy California strawberries for dirt cheap, realize they were most likely harvested by illegals. One year when it was time for the walnut harvest in Lake County California, INS had just swept through and rounded up all the illegals they could find. This meant that no one was around to collect the walnuts, so much of that year's crop was lost. None of the local population, except for a few people living on the reservation, wanted to do that kind of work at the pay that was offered. In other words, in California at least, illegals do the work that none of the 'white folks' (to oversimplify things) want to do. This impacts not only the local farmers who rely on immigrants, legal or illegal, but also the consumer who ends up paying a much higher price for their produce at the grocer.

I'm a little disappointed in the person who brought up Mara Salvatrucha. They have nothing to do with migrant farmwork. That particular gang is comprised almost exclusively of the El Salvadoreans who were kidnapped as children and trained in guerilla warfare during Reagan's 'secret wars' back in the '80's. If you ever need an SAR-15, they're the people to ask. They are scary people, but farmworkers, landscapers and dishwashers they are not. Also, most of the members of Mara Salvatrucha are legal, having been granted political asylum long ago.

Answer 5

You are at a disadvantage to start with. Your stance about prejudice being a factor is flawed. People that opposed to illegal immigration has nothing to do with "prejudice" or "race". Illegal aliens from many countries are here. An illegal alien is not a race. If you try to make it a racial issue you are going to get slam dunked in your "debate".

Answer 6

I have no problem with immigrant comming to this county to become citizens. That means they are willing to give somthing back to this country. This country is made of of immigrants except for the early arerican indians. I have a problem with the illegals coming here taking what they can get and going back home. And who do they hurt AMERICANS thats who

Answer 7

You'd better stay away from logic, facts, or statistics and focus on the emotional aspect. Like find some stories of a poor family who only want to work hard so their children can afford shoes. That's how all the pro-illegal groups try to spin it and it seems to work on uneducated people.

Answer 8

The only upside is for the illegals. Why don't they ask you to write a paper on the positive side of bank robbing, identity theft, corporate embezzlement or some other supposedly "victimless" crime?

Answer 9

So, let's see... You seek to promote and abate an illegal activity. In order to do that, you have to expound your disdain for American people and American Law. You should also enlist the help of people who hate America, and so try to make it explicit in the paper. You could even get financial support from Latino gangs like Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13).

Answer 10

There is no intelligent way to argue in support of illegal immigration, it is an illegal act. You would be better off writing this paper on why the immigration laws are flawed and need to be revised.
