U.S. Illegal Immigration by Paul Carter https://padlet.com/paul_carter_923/hktzq6ja0h3p Controversial Illegal Immigration en-us 2016-11-01 15:46:10 UTC 2016-11-01 15:55:24 UTC hello@padlet.com Letter to the editor - Blake Cochran paul_carter_923 https://padlet.com/paul_carter_923/hktzq6ja0h3p/wish/134524724 Dear the editor of “Amnesty for illegal immigrants will cost America”, I agree with all of your factual statements and calculations. The amount of illegals in this county who are destroying our economy is just disturbing. “An exhaustive study by the Heritage Foundation has found that after amnesty, current unlawful immigrants would receive $9.4 trillion in government benefits and services and pay more than $3 trillion in taxes over their lifetimes. That leaves a net fiscal deficit (benefits minus taxes) of $6.3 trillion.” (Amnesty for illegal immigrants will cost America) These immigrants are participating in jobs that keep the prices down for physical labor, that for the hourly price, most americans wouldn't do. Even if the immigrants were deported to their original homes, the amount saved in tax per person compared to the price change from hourly physical labor would be a substantial money saver.

Illegal Immigration tends to be quite a touchy topic, but in this letter I am going to dive right into it. Illegal Immigration might bring families to a better life and help out the American economy, but Illegal Immigration is doing just as much, if not more, bad than good. Illegals are bringing in drugs, raising crime rates near the border and make people feel unsafe. Illegal Immigration also raises a lot of problems like when married couples decide to start a family in the U.S. They have kids and when the parents get deported their kids stay because their kids were born in the U.S. making them legal citizens.

The paper should focus on real threats and not things that are unsure. Immigration from Mexico poses big problems for the citizens of the United States. That's why the citizens look at the topic very seriously. With hundreds of thousands crossing the border constantly, the people usually only get one side of the story from the liberal media. Fox has posed the other side of the argument no one else will acknowledge which is incredible. However, the paper is about getting good headlines but think about warning the citizens of real threats on immigration.

Out of The 11.2 million illegal immigrants in the United States, 8 million of them have jobs. These jobs are being taken from the American people in poverty. If these illegal immigrants would be forced to leave the country then about 8 million united states citizens would have proper jobs to get out of poverty. In 2012, 52% were from Mexico, 15% from Central America, 12% from Asia, 6% from South America, 5% from the Caribbean, and another 5% from Europe and Canada. They also do not have to pay tax on their jobs because most of them only get payed in cash from their side work jobs. Other U.S. citizens would be able to get these jobs if the illegals would be exported.

Immigration has become quite common within America through acts passed many years ago by Lyndon B. Johnson and others. However, the problem exists under the Obama Administration and the possible Clinton presidency coming to be. The country has been severely hurt by the mass immigration of mexicans, syrians, and more.
How are the citizens being affected? The introduction of drugs and violence from the outside world has hurt American culture. Socially, the immigrants that aren’t “citizens” will continue to outnumber native people and shape a country to which they don’t belong. 
A benefit of immigration could be that they help the economy by doing jobs nobody wants to do. However, many Americans are struggling to find employment as mexican immigrants continue to pour in and take jobs meant for actual citizens. 
In terms of safety, drug violence and terrorism are threats that are more imminent because of this immigration. The mexican people introduce drugs to American people to make money, eventually leading to violence of course. Syrian refugees are dangerous to the American public because of the country they are coming from and the violence that originates there. So, is it worth it to “save” these Syrians while putting US lives at risk?
