Are there any advantages of illegal immigration??

Question

There's plenty of negative information regarding illegal immigration.

Any positives other than the migrant farmworkers, who are occupying jobs that Americans are not willing to do ???

Answer 1

They pay income, state and federal taxes, social security, and medicare and they don't get nearly as much back as they put into the system. Banks get billions of dollars in money transfer fees from the remittances immigrants send back to their home countries. They create jobs by consuming goods here. They DO work the jobs that naturalized workers won't do, and that's because industries like the agribusiness have driven the naturalized workers away by lowering wages and not improving working conditions. If anything we should all be demanding that the government naturalize the immigrant labor force so that exploitative industries can no longer pit one section of the labor force against another by virtue of their legal status. But you crazed anti-immigrants are too blind to see that the proposed "solutions" to immigration do nothing for you while they allow businesses to further take advantage of immigrant labor, and thus all working class people.

Answer 2

Of course Americans and legal immigrants are willing to do it, and DO do it. Illegal immigrants just drive the wages to the poverty level so others won't take that wage.

Answer 3

Economists believe the state of illegal immigration actually is one of the biggest assets to the US economy thanks to a weird form of economic slavery.
Some people think illegal immigrants are an even trade with the economy.
And finally, everyone else thinks illigal immigrants are a drain on the economy.

Answer 4

No advantages.

Less than 4% of all illegal aliens in the USA today are "picking crops" or doing any other work in the agriculture, food processing fields.
Over 40% of all illegal aliens in the USA are on some kind of welfare, which is costing the US taxpayers BILLIONS of dollars every year.
So the arguement that they contribute to our economy is a LIE.

Illegal aliens use far more services than whatever small contribution they make to our economy.

There is no savings on produce for the consumer, in fact the cost of every single grape picked by an illegal alien, every house built by illegal aliens, every garment sewn by illegal aliens, is HIGHER now than it ever was when legal US citizens did ALL those jobs.
So that arguement is proven to be a LIE.

Illegal aliens who use "fake" social secuity numbers are, in fact, using STOLEN social security numbers, and that is a CRIME, a FELONY in fact, for which the punishment is a $250,000.00 fine and 25 years in federal prison, followed by deportation for illegal aliens. After which the illegal alien who used a STOLEN social security number can NEVER immigrate legally to the USA, can NEVER become a permanent resident of the USA, can NEVER be granted a legal visa or greencard to the USA, can NEVER enter the USA legally, can NEVER become a citizen on the USA, and if caught trying to enter the USA illegally again, or living in the USA again, will go to federal prison for not less than 25 years.
So those of you who think it is just "okay" to use a "fake" social security number, THINK AGAIN. IT IS A CRIME! with severe consequenses, DON'T DO IT!

Answer 5

Lower production costs- although the big companies often pocket the proceeds. Also, a lot of illegal immigrants do actually pay taxes, albeit on a fake social security number.

Answer 6

No one benefits from illegal immigration, but from immigrants. Illegal immigration is something BAD, both for the nationals and the immigrants. It is something that most be dealt with so that immigrants can come in orderly and nationals can still get the full benefits they provide.

Answer 7

NO...what we get is
1. Increased strain on hospitals, health care, and schools.
2. Increase in drugs and crime.
3. Strain on our prison system.
4. Increase in those who don't know the language, the culture or the law.
5. Decrease in national security.
6. Steady flow of money OUT of the country.
7. Increase in homeless.
8. Lower wages for entry-level jobs.
9. Increase in unskilled labor.
10. Increase in the uneducated
GET THE IDEA?
DO I NEED TO GO ON?

Answer 8

None of them are occupying jobs that Americans are not willing to do. That is a myth.

Answer 9

No.

The illegals willingly allow themselves to be taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers that pay them substandard wages while sponging our healthcare, education and welfare systems into insolvency all for the sake of cheaper fruit and vegetables.

No, there are no advantages.

Answer 10

No , - There are no advantages of illegal immigration for the USA. We have to beef up security and then support your accidents once you are here, then we have to spend money finding you and throwing you out of this country. Just stay at home and make all of our live easier....
