The Pros and Cons of Illegal Immigrants
March 29, 2006 · To form my opinion on Illegal (IL.) immigrants I have to balance my love for America with my Christian morals of being the good samaritan. I want my kids, our schools and my neighbors to live a safe and prosperous life. At the same time I want those repressed and downtrodden immigrants to be able to come to the land of opportunity.
So how do we balance the Republican tide of shutting off the world, with the Democrat view of letting the masses in? This forces the Republicans to look like the bad guys and the Democrats to look like they're weak on defense. In either case, it's all smoke and mirror politics. One side is trying to make the other side look bad, so their side can win an election.
Who gains and who loses when you have IL. immigrants?
Pro – Immigrant makes money in America to send to family.
Pro – Business gets cheap work.
Pro – Business doesn’t have to pay taxes.
Pro – Business doesn’t have to pay for healthcare.
Pro – Business doesn’t have to contend with OSHA.
Pro – Upper class Americans can save money on maids, lawn care, etc.
Con – America loses money on taxes.
Con – America’s schools lose funds teaching kids of IL. immigrants.
Con – Middle- and lower class Americans lose jobs to IL. immigrants.
Con – Nation's hospitals lose money in charity treatment of IL. immigrants.
Con – Nation is forever in bilingual debate.
Con – Those that come to America legally are disadvantaged in comparison having spent so much effort.
Con - Lack of control on how many terrorists make it across the border.
Con – Increased crime; A criminal will never take the proper route.
So having done this I feel that immigrants and Republicans stand more to gain from a porous border at the expense of the nation's taxes, middle class and security.

Cons..
Drug trafficking is increased.
The Center of Immigration Studies (CIS) has stated that many violent crimes in the United States are committed by illegal immigrants. Because of the immigration status of the criminals, law enforcement officials are often unable to accurately track and find many of them as they retreat back over the border where they are often untraceable.
Legal immigrants over the age of 15 must have a chest x-ray to check for tuberculosis (drug resistant TB is incurably fatal and highly contagious). Illegal aliens are not screened.

They do a lot of work that americans are to lazy to do.
They also don't ask for a high salary. Money isn't as important to most immigrants as it is to americans.
They give america and variety of culture and keep us culture influenced.
They bring ideas from different countrys to ours.
Thats all i can think of for right now..hope i helped hun.
