Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants

Paper Summary:

The paper explains the perspectives of those in favor and those against the granting of amnesty to illegal immigrants in the US. The paper suggests the implementation of a law promoting block amnesty of illegal immigrants and goes on to explains this proposal's advantages. The paper adds, however, that Congress would need to increase the security measures at the borders in order to insure that, despite the positive legislation in the field, there is no temptation in breaking the laws of immigration.

From the Paper:

"The problem of illegal immigration has long been considered to be one of the most stringent issues of the US government due to the increased desire of immigrants from around the world to come and work on American soil. However, the immigration laws that are currently part of the legislative body concerning immigration are limited in their scope and cannot consider all the actions that relate to illegal immigrants.
"One of the most talked about issues however is amnestying illegal immigrants. It represents an important topic for discussion because it has come to affect the society at large and the individual in particular. The first effect is on the society because it means job differences between US citizens and immigrants willing to work for less. At the same time, its effect can be pondered in terms of the individual from the point of view of the message illegal immigration and its amnesty sends for the US citizen. Thus, it can be considered that the amnesty of illegal immigrants allows other criminals to be forgiven for unlawful deeds."
