Illegal Immagration
Hayden Sandt
Why Is it Happening
- One of the main reasons for illegal immigration is that Mexico's economy is doing bad
- 50% of Mexico's population is poor
- Come to america to find a good place to live and find jobs
- Get away from the drug wars
- Better place for their families
So although the illegal immigrants are doing it for all the right reasons it is still illegal, and they should be finding a way to move to america legally because other wise it is hurting us more than it is helping them.
Their Numbers
- The number of illegal immigrants exceeds the number of legal immigrants
- It has been like that since the 1990's
- An estimated 12 million illegal immigrants are living in the United States
- Around half of that number is estimated to be made up of Mexicans
Wasting Our Money
- Last year in Texas illegal immigrants cost tax payers 12.9 billion dollars
- Taxes paid by those illegal immigrants only amounted to 1.27 billion dollars
- The cost for illegal immigrants to attend school and have health care builds up a total of 36 billion dollars
Taking American Jobs
- There are almost 10 million unemployed Americans while there are over 8 million jobs being held by illegal aliens
- American Labor Unions have been helping illegal aliens get and hold jobs
How to Fix It
- Check social security numbers for verification
- Build more fences to make them go through other border lines
- Enforce current illegal immigration laws
- Do not let caught illegal aliens back in once we deport them once
