Illegal Aliens

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer notes that the arguments surrounding the issue of undocumented foreign nationals, or illegal aliens, in the United States are intense. The issues reflect a broad spectrum of topics such as medical services and health risks posed by illegal aliens; crime; education; jobs; unemployment; Social Security and disability benefits. Some of the issues are ones that are peripheral to that of illegal aliens, like globalization and open borders. However, at some point even the peripheral issues merge, and the focus rests with the problem of undocumented individuals, who have entered the United States illegally, and what rights, if any, they have; and what to do about the problem. This paper examines some of these issues, resolutions and potential outcomes.

From the Paper:

"The existing problems posed by undocumented individuals crossing America's southern border into the United States illegally is a serious one. First, the geographical locations from which they traveling across to enter the United States, are third world countries in South America. Those countries have poor infrastructures - if they did not, most of their citizens would be content to remain in those countries. The poor infrastructure means that there is inadequate housing, nutrition, education, and public services, like sanitation, immunization, and medical care available to the citizens of those countries - most notably, Mexico. What this means to the United States is that illegals crossing into the country pose a potential threat to the citizens of the United States by way of infectious diseases."
