Name 4 positive things illegal aliens do for the USA?

Question

then name 4 negative effects they have on USA.

Also, can you name any residual effects postive or negative that the children of illegal aliens will have on the USA once they are of school age and beyond.

I would like the answers here to be more factual rather than hyperbole.

Answer 1

they do the jobs that most Americans will not do, they bring cultural diversity to areas, they pay taxes on purchases, they promote the American way in their homeland

Answer 2

Illegal immigration causes many problems that's for sure. That is an indisputable fact. Given your estimate of 20 million illegals let's proceed from there. Let's say even 1/3 of them are holding jobs. That's almost 7 million people in the workforce. Contributing to the tax base etc. That would leave 7 million job vacancies. Would our nation be able to handle that many leaving the workforce? Probably not. Would Americans step into these jobs for the pay offered? Probably not. Companies bottom line is profit. Would they raise wages to get Americans to work these jobs? Probably not. More companies would begin to outsource. Thus leaving many Americans out of jobs that now hold jobs. Our entire country would collapse and the Great Depression would look like a cakewalk. As I've said illegal immigration is wrong and needs to stop. But we also need to be realistic on deporting as you say 20 million people. Believe me...It's not going to happen for various reasons. So we must move forward and think of realistic ways to deal with the situation at hand and also insure the illegal situation is stemmed in the future. Better border security and visa systems need to be taken care of first and foremost so the situation doesn't progressively get worse. Once the flow is stopped we can then work on what to do with those already here.

Answer 3

I'm concentrating on issues that don't apply equally or moreso to poor American citizens.

Positive:

1. Work hard for low wages, keeping American businesses internationally competitive.

2. Fill jobs which would otherwise be hard to fill.

3. Pay social security taxes without having any chance of collecting their own benefits.

4. Send money back home, giving people in other countries a positive impression of the USA for a cost that's less than the foreign aid budget of the federal government, and which costs the taxpayers nothing.

Negative:

1. Mild suppression of wages for the least skilled Americans

2. Contribution to overcrowding in some areas and overburdening of local government services in some areas. The USA has more than enough space, but some of the cities don't, and the illegal immigrants are often concentrated into these cities.

3. Form a wedge that divides Americans, and has led to a lot of rancor

4. Commit identity fraud in enough cases to be a big headache to a lot of Americans.


I think the long term effects will be minimal. Studies have shown that Hispanic immigrants have integrated into mainstream American society about as fast as past immigrant groups.

Answer 4

Positives:

1) Their atrocities have, for the first time in my life, united U.S. citizens and legal residents of all ethnicities behind a single, growing movement to end their presence

2) They have reminded us all how devastating a life without predictable, well-deserved consequences can be

3) Agents Compean and Ramos have seen, nationally broadcast, the deserved sympathy of the nation they risked their lives to protect and serve

4) Our teachers, doctors, nurses and even lawyers have found a common ground higher even than their professional ethics: We are a nation of LAW.

Negatives:

1) Our neighbors to the south are failing to develop as they might have, had their countrymen not run off

2) Our schools are reduced to sandboxes with pictographs

3) Retail giants are confused which language our Constitution was written in

4) Pancho Villa is a famous taco joint

Answer 5

Positive:
They fuel the slavery.
They're less likely to complain if you sexually harass them and you're their boss.
They work really cheaply.
They mow lawns really well.

Negatives:
Drain on the health system.
They don't speak proper English.
They demand that you speak theirs (you'd think being illegally in an country for 20 years you could try to learn).
Illegals are more likely to have more kids they can't financially support.

Answer 6

1) Several of the female immigrants are rather nice-looking.
2) We need someone to do menial labor at lower cost.
3) They keep both parties at each others throats ( I like seeing my tax dollars at work).
4) Spanish food-Damn, I love chimichangas, tacos, etc.
Negatives...
1) Over-populating the country (not enough natural resources for everyone).
2) A burden on current U.S. tax-payers (healthcare, other programs).

2) Keeps reminding you are in a foreign land.
3) Share their creativity.
4) They are content to work in the USA and THAT KEEPS THEM FROM CLAIMING THEIR LAND BACK. (which was stolen during an unstable government time, but what's new with USA taking advantage of an unstable government)
