Illegal Immigrants

Paper Summary:

This paper addresses the problem of illegal immigration in the United States. Specifically, it discusses the reasons illegal immigrants come to America and the political debate that surrounds these immigrants.

From the Paper:

"Some immigrants are fleeing financial hardships in their home countries, and they hope to make a better life for themselves in the United States. They are fleeing poverty in their own countries, but often, they find it again here in the United States. One report notes, "In 1999, more than one-third (36.3 percent) of foreign-born full-time, year-round workers earned less than $20,000 compared to one fifth (21.3 percent) of their native counterparts" ("The Cost"). Thus, many of these immigrants are fleeing poverty, but, because of higher living expenses in the United States, they still cannot make ends meet, even with better paying jobs than they could find in their own country."
