What are the positives and negatives of illegal Immigration?

Question

serious answers plz.

which ones outweigh the other?

Answer 1

The negatives outweight the positives and here's why:

While illegal immigration has become such an issue that our economy is dependent on cheap labor and money coming in and out of the system....Illegal Immigration makes it virtually impossible to get an accurate count of just how many people are in the country which can have devestating effects on social programs and services like police departments, fire departments and government funded hospitals.

Answer 2

Positive-it's showing who in Govt can be swayed away from their committment and for US to e-mail the heck out of. Also, it makes US think what the Govt can accomplish if we let it get away from the law(GW must be contagious).
Negative-alot has been covered here but 75% of the increase in LEPROSY cases have come from Mexico & Brazil. Not only Mexicans are crossing the border but terrorists, and many others who DON'T think they need to come here legally. Drugs, the biggest industry in the world, play a major part in this affront on US well-being-but get caught with them and you will be gone for a while.

Answer 3

Positives,( there are no negatives for business or illegals
For business is cheap labor and a docile workforce
For illegal it's having more than they ever could have had in Mexico, and the being docile, is small price to pay for free education for their children, free breakfast and lunches for their kid, free health care for the kids, emergency health care their for the adults, anchor babies that not only are free of charge for delivery, but gives them glue to claim family ties, Wic, food stamps,and SSi for the anchor baby, credit cards to establish credit from Bank of American, section 8 housing,
need I go on.
POSITIVES FOR MIDDLE CLASS TAX PAYER
For the middle class tax payer, lettuce that costs 3.00 head, if not for the illegals they would have to pay 4.00 a head
NEGATIVES FOR MIDDLE CLASS TAX PAYER
THE BILL FOR ALL THOSE ILLEGALS WHO WORK FOR CHEAP LABOR, BUT RELIE ON THE TAX PAYERS TO PAY THE COST FOR THE CARE AND FEEDING OF THEM
AND THEIR FAMILIES

Answer 4

That those who have been here long enough to have helped out a Country enough who has been wasting tons and tons of food. Should at least be given the respect and credit that is due. Instead of making false claims and criticizing of immigrants of Mexican decent as having mainly hogging up their land,taxes,white Chic's(I'll give them that one). But personally here in Texas we do not role like that chicken sh*t lies....And if respect is so much to ask. Well why bother asking right?! And do the dam mm same thing in return ....What's good for the quack er is good for the Mexican! Concerning claims...

Answer 5

negatives
Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !
