Illegality

Recently there has been a lot of debate of illegal immigrants. I think it’s wrong of people to stereotype certain groups of people as being illegal, but I do not think that it is ok that people think it is ok come into the US without the government’s permission. I do not mind when new immigrants come into the country the legal way, but it really gets me when people come in illegally and stay here working. There are several reasons why I do not like this. The first reason is there is a reason why the US does not except everyone into the country. If we did there could be the possibility that a lot of the people could find it really hard or impossible to find jobs, which would make the unemployment rate skyrocket. The next reason is that if they are here illegally they are not paying any taxes. This would mean that they would be using and getting the perks of paying taxes without actually paying them. The next is that a good bit of them use the money that they make and send them to their families back in the country that they came from. This means that they are not spending the money to help out the US’s economy but a different countries economy. The last reason is that these illegal’s take the jobs of actually citizens since a lot of them work below minimum wage.
