Benefits for Illegal Immigrants to be Citizens One of the hottest topics in United States political system is over the millions of Illegal Immigrants in the country, and what to do with them. Congress is constantly debating the issue. Democrats have suggested to make mass citizenship to the Illegal Immigrants, but the Republicans have suggested to send them back to where they came from. Illegal Immigrants should be given citizenship to America because they create more tax revenue, supply the workforce, and children would not have to be in foster care due to their parents being deported. First, creating a process for Immigrants to become citizens would help by creating more tax revenue by taxing the working Illegal Immigrants. The United States government is losing millions of dollars due to not being able to tax Illegal Immigrants income. So, if made citizens, they could receive large amount in revenue to supply the shortage in funding for federal and state projects. New income from new citizens of the United States government could help fund our interstate systems and other parts of the American infrastructure that needs dire improvements. Also, these citizens funding could help public schools by …show more content…
The Applied Research center estimates 5,100 children are in foster care due to parents being deported. Sadly, we are breaking apart so many families over the parent being Illegal, but children being citizens. Countless United States resources are tied up in rehoming these young children which would not be the case if we would only give their parents citizenship. Also we have a dramatic shortage of foster parents in the United States. By putting families back together, we could help solve more serve problems in the foster care system. Creating a path to citizenship would result in thousands of children out of foster
Another way to improve the foster system is to have background checks, making sure that the people they hire, and foster parents aren’t abusive and horrible to the kids. The background checks for foster parents or caretakers could save abuse for the kids, and maybe even death, they can help determine whether or not if this is a person they want the kids around. This is shown in an article named, “U.S. Foster Care a Flawed Solution that leads to more Long-Term Problems”, they explain the lives of kids who have experienced awful people they were sent to live with. The author wrote, “Removed from the home of a mentally ill parent… Within months, the mother’s condition deteriorated and the child was killed,” (Stone, 2014).
Illegal immigrants that are given a tax ID number or temporary residency will help the countries’ economy by eliminating business owners from hiring illegal immigrants which causes them to pay the taxes they wouldn’t be paying if they were hiring them
Have you ever thought about how it feels to be ripped out of the only place that you know as home? To get no explanation of why your parents just did not want you anymore? Not a lot of people think about this. Usually, the only people that do think about this is children that are experiencing or have experienced this problem. The children’s rights website stated that, “On any given day, there are nearly 428,000 children in foster care in the United States.”
Foster care is important and can benefit children mentally, emotionally, and physically. There can be a lot of
In 2014 there were 650,000 kids in foster care, that’s almost twice as much as Kansas City’s population of 467,007. Roughly 58,000 of these children were placed in an institution or group home instead of a traditional foster home. While these children will age out of the system 40% of them will find themselves homeless, 50% will have substance addiction, 25% will have not received a diploma or GED, only 3% will have received any college degrees and 17% of the young women will be pregnant. Even before they are blessed with their so called “independence” the average child in foster care will have an IQ 20 points lower than a child not in foster care and 33% of them will have moved elementary schools more than 5 times. The foster care system in
Having these children living in foster care would only cause more children to be added to the system for adoption. Thus, leaving more children hoping to someday find a family. Statistics from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) data for FY 2014 announced, 415,129 children were in foster care on September 30th, 2014, a 4% increase from 2012 (The AFCARS). Children moving from foster home to foster home does not give them the opportunity to a better life. Continuously moving homes, does not give children the stability and family atmosphere that they should be given.

Not only do immigrants cost America financially, but they also need housing, education, healthcare, and jobs which all have an individual impact from immigrants. Many of these issues are covered using tax payer dollars and then the overwhelming population due to this growth in immigrants will have to be addressed in each individual area or city. Some of these issues are fire stations and police officers to accommodate the larger populations, hiring enough teachers to educate the growing rate of children enrolled in the public schools, or providing welfare benefits such as food stamps or Medicaid to immigrants who are mostly of low-income
It has become self-evident an expansion has occurred with-in the United States borders involving Anchor Babies. Those illegal mothers shall have their children naturalize them at the age of 21. It can be seen as a very convenient bargain one can consent with. How can one child actually effect or assist the United States one may ask? During 1965 the Immigration act would be conducted in which the term anchor babies are hosted. During that time the 14th Amendment would be assisting native-blacks whose children would descend into anchor babies.
Many Americans have mixed views about citizenship for these people. Illegal immigrants should be granted citizenship based on how the person is doing. If they are causing trouble they don't need to be here. If they are working trying to get a check to provide for their family then why not keep them here. It could also help decrease the amount of debt America is in because of the increased tax returns.

If you go to a hospital, there are a good bit of the doctors and nurses that are of a different ethnic group or immigrants as we call them.

People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family. Over the years, the population of immigrants has grown immensely, resulting in the currently controversial issue of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are the people who have overstayed the time granted on their US, visa or those who have broken the federal law by crossing the border illegally. Matt O’Brien stated in his article “The government thinks that 10.8 million illegal immigrants lived in the country in January 2009, down from a peak of nearly 12 million in 2007.”(Para, 2) While some argue that illegal immigrants burden the United States of America and its economy, others believe that they have become essential and are an important part of the US, economy.
