  1. Introduction

The admission of illegal immigrants into USA is an issue which is certainly going to have a lot of debates over it. Illegal immigration plays a great role in the fall apart of the US economy. The question here is not how to make US regain its greatness but is how to stop illegal immigration?  The admission of new illegal immigrants in the US is not the only problem faced by America right now; departing the current illegal immigrants is also a problem that needs to be solved. Some of these unfortunate people have already been deported out of America and we can’t blame the US government for it. Harboring the illegal immigrants and their families requires a lot of money which leads into the depreciation of this country’s economy. They are accused of stealing jobs from the American citizens and account for 2.8 million jobs in the US workforce.(Illegal immigration….Finds). This is an issue which will not stop until some serious action is taken against it, deporting illegal immigrants is surely a way to solve this problem but why do we let them come in illegally in the first place. Something fast and easy is requires to make USA become the land of opportunity once again.

        

Background

                The history of illegal immigration starts from when America was a free country and many people migrated here but after some time the migration was out of control and needed to be stopped and hence in 1924 U.S. Border Patrol was formed which operationalized border enforcement and apprehension of illegal aliens. (Illegal Alien). The Census held in 2000 indicated that around 500000 to 700000 illegal aliens were settling in USA each year. Nearly 203,000 illegal aliens were forcefully removed from the US; more than 1 million agreed to depart voluntarily. 88,897 criminal aliens were also removed. (Illegal Alien). USA permits only 421,000 to 675,000 immigrants in the country each year and the ones who can’t get through try entering the country illegally.

  1. Consumption of Job

Among “illegal aliens” in the early twenty-first century, more than two-thirds are workers (including 94 percent of male undocumented migrants), representing nearly 5% of the total US workforce. (U.S. Immigration and Naturalization)

5% of the total US workforce is a very large number and can easily decrease the rate of unemployment in USA if these jobs were given to American citizens. Not only will the rate of unemployment decrease but this will also help the US government maintain its economy.

                USA is seen as the “land of opportunity” which creates a desire for many people to live here but are unable to legally migrate. This results in a steady stream of undocumented or illegal aliens who take low-paying jobs. This makes the US loose all its jobs which thus leads to unemployment.
