U.S. Immigration

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the first distinction between legal and illegal immigrants is that illegal immigrants are not subject to any law that allows them to work according to the conditions imposed by a certain country; whereas, legal immigrants follow the direct and clear provisions of the laws. The author points out that, although both types of immigrants are considered to be cheap labor, the illegal immigrants particularly suffer from this discriminatory attitude. The paper stresses that, while there are restrictions posed on illegal immigrants, for legal immigrants there is the obvious need of trying to improve their lives to help them have a better standard of living and for the American government to benefit from their work.

From the Paper:

"Legal and illegal immigrants continue to be an area in which the American legislature as well as the public opinion in general continues to invest from all points of view. However, their approaches are rather different in the sense that while there are restrictions posed on illegal immigrants, for legal immigrants there is the obvious need of trying to improve their lives in order to help them have a better standard of living and the American government to benefit from their work."
