Paper Summary:
The paper discusses the positions of two authors, Michael Scott and Richard Raynor, who have conflicting ideas on the cost of illegal immigration. The paper points out the power of the media who often present information on this topic in a biased and unfair way. The paper maintains that the United States is not upholding the principals of equality and justice that immigrants and all citizens deserve.From the Paper:
"Author Scott (2002) insists that the borders must be sealed and those that hire illegal aliens must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He claims that there should not be any more silliness and discussion "...about how difficult this might be" because it could actually be done relatively easily, and would not be the problem that many make it out to be. Scott also does not agree with the idea that "[guest workers are needed because] Americans won't do the work that illegals perform" (Scott, 2002). He does not believe that this is the case, and thinks instead that the wages will simply rise to make sure that Americans are compensated for the work that they do, which they would need if the illegal immigrants were not in this country working for the lower wages."Sample of Sources Used:
