10 Reasons Why Illegal Immigrants Should be Deported

Illegal immigration
Illegal immigration puts a strain on the community of the host country.

Illegal immigrants are a reality in many countries. The United States, known as the land of opportunities, attracts the majority of them. There are, of course, legal ways to enter the United States. The effort it takes to do this, however, can seem quite lengthy to a desperate family. Most immigrants cross the border in hopes of a better life for their children. Many families have good intentions. They often just go about the situation the wrong way. In many cases, only one or two family members cross the border. This is often done so that money can be earned

to support family back home.

Illegal immigration puts a strain on the community of the host country. The legal population puts money into taxes to support their own. This money is forced to cover illegal immigrants when it comes to welfare programs and education. The children of illegal immigrants are not denied services due to their status. Some of the children are born here, making them legal citizens with illegal parents. This puts the government in a bind, as deportation, in this situation, would leave children without parents. Deportation is a complicated issue.

Crime is also difficult to manage when illegal immigrants are involved. Some of these individuals commit crimes, and they are not documented in the system. Even without proper identification or citizenship, they must be taken off of the streets. Jails and prisons are forced to deal with more expenses when these incidents happen. Deportation of illegal immigrants can be beneficial to the community, and economy.

10. Education

Education is one of the reasons for which people choose illegal immigration

Education is not only a right, but a necessity, for all children living in the United States. Illegal immigrants are allowed to sign their children up for school. In fact, a child that is found not enrolled in school may warrant a visit from a truancy officer. Education, however, costs money. Our country puts forth a lot of revenue into the education system. This money is supplemented by funds provided by taxpayers. Legal citizens pay taxes that are partially dedicated to the education of the youth.

Illegal immigrants are not contributing in the same way that legal parents are. The children have access to all of the same educational privileges as American citizens, without any monetary contributions from the family. This puts and incredible strain on educational resources. These kids often eat at school, and use transportation. The taxpayers are contributing to these activities. Funds are already tight in most schools. Many children do not have all of the services they need.

There are strict rules on who can receive things like speech therapy and classroom assistance. When a school has a large immigrant population, they are often dealing with a language barrier. Schools must foot the bill for an English as a Second Language (ESL) class. This is not needed when there is a strictly legal group of children in attendance. Education costs rise, and quality of instruction can decline when illegal immigrants remain in the country.

9. Unfair to Legal Immigrants

illegal immigrants snatch the rights of Legal Immigrants

Some immigrants take the time to enter the country legally. These individuals sit through hours of classes to better understand our country. They make a commitment to be loyal and lawful. They also make an effort to learn the native language. This is all done so that they can be a part of the United States. When illegal immigrants reside here, they take advantage of resources without making a contribution. They are also not as committed to being good citizens, as they did not care to learn the laws.

When illegal immigrants come over and take advantage of education and welfare, with no consequences, it takes meaning away from those that put in the effort to become legal. If there are no special attributes that accompany legal citizenship, some might wonder if it is even worth the trouble to achieve legal status.

8. Crime

Illegal immigrants get involved in criminal activities for their survival

There may also be issues with crime when an illegal status is maintained. Some criminals are deported, while others remain in our legal system. When crimes are committed there may be a delay in solving them when there is no record of the perpetrator. Illegal immigrants often form communities in specified areas of town. These areas are often considered to be higher crime areas.

Illegal immigrants may also be driving around without a proper license or insurance. When accidents happen on the road, these immigrants are unable to pay their part. This leads to a financial strain on the legal party involved. Some illegal immigrants live without abiding by laws, in many ways. They may drive without a license or insurance, steal, or become violent. When these things happen, there must be a swift response by law enforcement.

High crime rates raise the burden on our city workers. They also make the community unsafe for those that are legal. When the process to become legal is undergone, there are efforts put in to finding out who these people are. This ensures that criminals are not brought into the country. Illegal immigrants may be criminals in their country of origin. Deportation can eliminate the entrance of criminals.

7. Jobs 

Jobs
People come to the new places to make their lives better

Illegal immigrants are not all criminals. Some are looking for a way to make their life better. There are many different jobs that are willing to hire illegal immigrants. They are often willing to work for less money. Employers may hire them without putting them on the official employee list. This means that they often make tax-free money. These job openings could be offered to legal citizens if this was not this option.

Jobs in many industries have a dominant population of illegal immigrants. This makes it difficult for members of the community to work in these places. It forms a major language barrier. The cultural differences can also make legal citizens shy away from working in these establishments. This type of situation makes it impossible for legal citizens to get jobs in some areas or industries. There are many jobs that could be done by our own people. The earnings would then be taxed, contributing to the financial well-being of the country. Employers need to be discouraged from hiring illegal immigrants. There are some regulations in place. These are often disregarded, however. Employers find ways around the rules so they can enjoy the cheap labor.

There are many citizens that need jobs. At any given time, a large part of the native population is unemployed. This can cause a strain on the economy, and cause lower quality of life. More applications for welfare are received when a high level of unemployment is reached, as well.

6. Medical Care 

Medical Care
Illegal immigrants face Medical Care and all related issues.

Medical costs are another benefit that should only be available to legal immigrants. This is not the case, however. There are many United States citizens that do not take proper care of their health due to high insurance premiums. These same individuals may apply for state health benefits and be denied. Welfare benefits that offer medical care are not available unless the monthly income is extremely low. Exceptions are made when a woman is pregnant. If a citizen has a small income, the possibility of adult medical coverage is low.

Medical care for illegal immigrants is often allowed, due to a lack of recordable income. Since many of these people get paid in cash, there is nothing to report. This way, the individuals can secure welfare benefits for medical care. Often, the entire family is covered. They can get access to annual exams, eye exams, and emergency care. This also puts a strain on taxpayers, as this is where the majority of this funding comes from.

Medical care is not denied to people due to their citizenship status. There is a fine line when it comes to things like this. Medical care is aimed at providing proper care to a human being. Like food, medical care is needed for survival. Illegal immigrants are offered basic human needs, even though they do not belong in the country. It could easily become a case for humanity if anyone is severely injured, or loses their life.
