Immigration to the United States has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of the United States. The economic, and social, aspects of immigration have caused controversy regarding ethnicity, economic benefits, and jobs for non-immigrants, settlement patterns, impact on upward social mobility, and crime, which is bad. .
Now in the U.S the percentage of illegal immigrants is enormous (The illegal immigrant population of the United States in 2008 was estimated by the Center for Immigration Studies to be about 11 million people, down from 12.5 million people in 2007 Other estimates range from 7 to 20 million. According to a Pew Hispanic Center report, in 2005, 56% of illegal immigrants were from Mexico; 22% were from other Latin American countries, primarily from Central America; 13% were from Asia; 6% were from Europe and Canada; and 3% were from Africa and the rest of the world) which I considered bad. There are people coming from all over the world, and the majority of them are coming here just because they need money, refuge or an easy life that they think this government will provide to them.
Illegal immigration in the US is also bad because the population is growing every day, and which is worse is that they are living here without documents, such as social security, On the other hand, the illegal immigrants affect the economy of the country because they usually work here just to send money to their own land which is prejudicial for the entire united states, in addiction many immigrants borrow money from native people who trust them, although they abandon the country without paying any coin of that money, leaving those people with problems. Furthermore, it is bad because these illegal immigrants do not pay taxes, which affects the economy too.
The crime is another fact to analyze, searching on internet I have found that the highly publicized murder of Arizona rancher Rob Krentz in March 2010, suspected to have been committed by an illegal immigrant, provided a strong rallying cry for immigration opponents and called public attention to other crimes. Notably property crimes committed by foreign nationals during their border crossings into the U.S. Krentz had previously reported that illegal immigrants had done over $8 million dollars in damage to his ranching operations during a five-year period, and in the wake of his murder, interviews with his family and friends focused on similar crimes and break-ins committed by immigrants.
Finally according to all these information, we can see that illegal immigrants are affecting incredibly the country. They are affecting the economy, security, population, social life and culture.
