Hiring of Illegal Aliens at Wal-Mart, 2006. A look at the Wal-Mart Corporation's practice of hiring illegal aliens and the law enforcement investigation of this practice. 927 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 32.95 »

Abstract This paper examines the investigation, led by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which discovered that the janitorial contractors providing cleaning services to Wal-Mart had employed illegal aliens to fill their contract. The paper describes the beginnings of the investigation, who was involved in the investigation, the civil settlement that resulted from the investigation, and the legal implications of the settlement for immigration law enforcement.
From the Paper "Wal-Mart has earned phenomenal success and accolades over the last 3 decades. They have grown from a local retailer to a global powerhouse. Yet, the sky is not always blue in the land of discount pricing. A variety of special interest groups often try to thwart the opening of the next SuperCenter, with concerns of taking away sales from local, small businesses and even complaints of discrimination in their hiring and promotion processes. Now these groups can add another item to their list of concerns when it comes to another Wal-Mart opening in their town, the employment of illegal aliens."

Health Services for Illegal Aliens, 2004. Argues that illegal workers in the United States should receive public health benefits. 700 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 24.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract Health services are crucial for any American, illegal alien or not. The paper argues that to refuse health care to people because they are in the country illegally is not only cruel and heartless; it simply ignores the foundation of freedom upon which America's ancestors built the country. This paper further argues that illegal aliens in the United States should be entitled to receive basic health services and gives compelling reasons why this is true.
From the Paper "However, as these immigrants enter the country illegally, work here illegally, and do not (or can not) retain citizenship, a growing number of the public and their legislators believe these people should not receive basic needs when they are in need, such as health care. California voters passed Proposition 187 in 1994, and part of the proposition banned public services to undocumented aliens working and living in the state. Eventually, the higher courts threw much of the Proposition out, but it gained national attention and several others states that have large immigrant populations, such as Florida, began writing similar legislation for their own states. However, most immigrants say they do not come to America for the social services they can receive - they come for jobs, and legislating against them cannot change that."

UFOs and Illegal Aliens, 2005. A look at Unidentified Flying Objects and alien life as portrayed by the entertainment industry. 1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 2 sources, $ 44.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper reviews the concept and history of Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs, and the influence UFOs have had on the world entertainment, and the influence the world of entertainment has had on our perception of UFOs and alien life.
From the Paper "Unidentified Flying Objects, (UFOs) were once only saucers tied to a string and filmed by an 8mm camera in the 1950s. By the 1970s they became a bit more believable when 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' presented images of technologically advanced UFOs, with images fitting the preconceived idea of aliens driving them through the desert. Yet, by the time 'E.T.', (The Extraterrestrial) was presented in the 1980s society began to take a closer look at the phenomenon of the UFO, and many within it started to relate their personal experiences in sightings, abductions, meetings, and "close encounters". Today there is a vast array of television programming focused on UFOs, and the aliens who build them."

From the Paper "Scope of Illegal Immigration
The United States has been unable to stem the tide of illegal aliens who are estimated to number more than 3.5 million (Yang, 1994, p. 34). California absorbs more than 50 percent of the nation's illegal immigrants (Wagar, 1994, p. 4). Because of the burden this places on the state economy, California has been leading the call for a close review of federal immigration laws. However, other states like Arizona, Florida and Texas are asking for more federal funding to reimburse them for services spent on illegal aliens, such as medical care, imprisonment and education.
History of Illegal Immigration
One of the reasons why the illegal aliens have become so difficult to stop is an ideological problem in the United States concerning immigration. The U.S. government cannot determine whether it wishes..."

Benefits for the Illegal Aliens
International Human Rights Legislation
Conclusion
From the Paper "During the years, due to social pressure the illegal aliens have been granted a series of temporary benefits. They have been awarded amnesties at times. That is the granting of a legal statute into the country. They have had educational subsidies. In some states they have had drivers' licenses. One such benefit was the illegal alien identification card which was introduced in an effort to legitimize and control illegal migration. Especially the governments of the countries of origin of most of the aliens, like Mexico, were very important supporters of this card. This card is used if the alien is deported according to the laws. These cards have been strongly opposed by the American conservatives as they were thought to be aiding and abetting illegal migration."

Illegal Immigration, 2004. A position paper arguing that it is not in America's best interest to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. 1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 63.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper analyzes two sides of the illegal immigration issue and concludes that amnesty should not be granted to illegal aliens. The paper addresses questions concerning contributions to American society made by illegal immigrants and discusses problems associated with illegal immigration.
From the Paper "Sheila Jackson Lee and Robert Byrd are both members of the U S Congress. Both are members of the Democratic Party, but Lee has taken a stance in favor of granting amnesty to certain groups of illegal immigrants, whereas Byrd holds the opposite position and argues that amnesty ultimately leads to an increase in illegal immigration in that it encourages others to attempt to secure U S residency and citizenship by circumventing the legal processes developed for this purpose. Lee, in contrast argues from..."

Background and Overview
Positive Economic Contributions of Illegal Immigrants
Exorbitant Costs Associated with Identifying and Deporting Illegal Immigrants

Adverse Impact on Nation's Consciousness
Conclusion
From the Paper "In reality, though, the vast majority of these jobs are either low-paying and menial jobs that many Americans would be reluctant to accept and even fewer would be willing to keep over the long-term, or the illegals involved have managed to survive in the U.S. sufficiently long to secure decent employment. In either case, these workers are contributing to the local tax base, and all of them are consumers. "Guest worker" programs and other half-measures fail to recognize these economic realities and will inevitably compel policymakers at the state and federal level to come to grips with these issues. In this regard, a recent cover story in Business Week (July 18, 2005) emphasized that, in spite of the growing discontent over illegal immigration, American businesses have continued to hire undocumented workers with little concern for federal regulations designed to stop them. Moreover, while the politicians, business owners and pundits argue about how best to handle the illegal immigrant problem, the same folks are hiring these workers as domestic employees and otherwise ("Embracing Illegals" 3).
More importantly, these same interests are also making money from the illegal immigrants in this country. One authority points out that, "In the past several years, big U.S. consumer companies -- banks, insurers, mortgage lenders, credit-card outfits, phone carriers, and others -- have decided that a market of 11 million or so potential customers is simply too big to ignore. It may be against the law for the [illegals] to be in the U.S. or for an employer to hire them, but there's nothing illegal about selling to them ("Embracing Illegals" 3)."

Illegal Immigration, 2007. The paper discusses the controversial issue of illegal immigration in the US and argues for stricter immigration laws. 926 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 32.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract The paper examines the difference of opinion between House Republicans and Democrats regarding illegal immigration. The paper maintains that as increasing numbers of illegal immigrants cross the borders of the United States, it is clear that a revamp of existing laws is needed. The paper is of the opinion that illegal immigration should be classified as a felony. This would make it not only illegal for undocumented aliens to remain in the country, but it would also make it a criminal act to assist them. The paper asserts that American citizens should not be obliged to financially support a hand of criminals and their offspring, they should be able to walk the streets safely and be granted the jobs they are entitled to.
From the Paper "The illegal immigrant issue is age old in the United States, and just about that recent are the futile attempts to improve the situation on the matter. As we speak, some 4 percent of the United States' population consists of illegal aliens and President Bush's guest-worker program doesn't seem to be a solution either to the Republicans or the Democrats on the venture. The House Republicans and the Democrats have been arguing for almost a year whether illegal immigration should be made a felony on the US territory; at the moment it is only considered a misdemeanor but neither of the parts is satisfied with the situation. The Republicans are strongly against the guest-worker program as they consider it to be rewarding illegal immigrants, while the Democrats insist it is a good start but not enough measure, because it is only to bring a temporary solution to the 11 million immigrants."

Illegal Immigrants and Driver's License, 2006. Discusses the issue of whether illegal immigrants should be provided with driver's licenses or not. 2,071 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 65.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract One of the most controversial issues surrounding illegal immigrants over the last few years has been whether or not to give them U.S. driver's licenses. This issue, which has been pushed by various immigrants' rights groups, has been sold as a way of keeping track of illegal immigrants. This paper argues, however, that it will actually accomplish the legitimization of illegal aliens living in the United States. Furthermore, it will provide a security loophole for nefarious foreigners at a time when we should be trying to close such loopholes.
From the Paper "For example, immigrant advocates have pushed this issue by putting out stories of law abiding undocumented immigrants who are forced to spend countless hours on public transportation because they are currently not able to get a driver's license. What is forgotten in these stories is that these people have no legal right to be in this country to begin with. Stories about people having to endure hardships may be heart wrenching, but that should only enforce the notion of going through proper channels to get citizenship. By giving people a pass and allowing them to forego proper procedures, the government would remove any incentive for people who are in these situations to do the right thing."

Illegal Immigration in America, 2008. This paper looks at illegal immigration in America and discusses whether it is good or bad for the U.S. economy. 2,200 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 68.95 »

Abstract In this article, the writer notes that illegal immigration is one of the biggest controversies and highly debated issue in the United States of America. The writer maintains that the impact of illegal immigration on the U.S economy is omnipresent with the U.S economy falling while emerging economies are making significant progress. The writer notes that many economists believe that the illegal immigration into America is a kind of economic war being waged against the Americans. The law makers and the officials in the Government have taken notice of the growing impact of illegal immigrants on the U.S economy and have taken steps to amend the existing laws so as to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the United States of America. The writer discusses that apart from the economic impact, illegal immigration has brought with it other social, religious and security problems. The writer looks at the different faces of illegal immigration and its effects on Americans.

Conclusion
From the Paper "One of the most profound impacts is the decrease in the wages of low skilled workers in America. Jobs that Americans refuse to take because of lower wages are now being taken up by illegal immigrants. This has resulted in unemployment among the Americans. American companies often prefer foreign workers who work harder for a lesser pay than the American citizens. This has lead to improper distribution of income and increased the gap between the rich and poor American citizens. Another reason why the American companies prefer foreign employees is both the employer and employee can easily escape from paying taxes to the Government. The undocumented workers do not pay their taxes. In the case of American employees the taxes are deducted from their pay roll. Although illegal immigrants increase the profits for their employers they hurt the American taxpayers. Since most of the illegal immigrants have low educational qualification and low skill level they are most employed for lower wages in poor working condition mostly in underworld economies. Hence the illegal immigrants easily evade the payment of taxes without their knowledge."

Illegal Immigration, 2005. This paper discusses the problem of illegal immigrants, a person who enters a country illegally and works without the permission of the government. 1,140 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 39.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper explains that for the United States, the main problem with illegal immigration is from Mexico because of the porous border between these countries. The author points out the problems with illegal immigrants are (1) that they work in the United States but they pay little or no taxes and yet receive the various benefits of citizens and legal immigrants, such as claiming unemployment compensation, resulting in an outflow of money but little or no inflow from income taxes for the U.S. government and (2) people associated or linked with terrorism seep into the United States through these porous boarders. The paper recommends that the resolution of the problem of illegal immigration requires (1) clarification of the law, (2) stricter enforcement necessitating sufficient funding for the border patrol force and (3) elimination of "birthright citizenship", which attracts illegal immigration because it offers any child born in the United States American citizen regardless of the citizenship or immigration status of his or her parents.
From the Paper "Last year President Bush took some steps to solve this problem. In 2004, he planned to allow about eight million illegal immigrants to achieve a temporary work permit that would make their stay in the United States as legal. This was a bold step and many illegal immigrants actually want to become legal in the United States. So they would get their legal status while the country would receive its taxes from them. Moreover, this would bring a lot of illegal immigrant on record and would filter out any terrorists or people with other negative agendas. However, this would only solve the problem of the illegal immigrants who are already within the borders of the United States."

Illegal Immigration in the U.S.A., 2006. An examination of the need for the U.S.A. to control illegal immigration. 1,751 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 56.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract This paper examines America's need to control illegal immigration to save jobs, save American tax dollars, and to slow down criminal activity. The writer discusses the huge costs involved in the medical care of illegal immigrants. The writer further explains that Illegal immigrants cost all Americans money by participating in programs funded by tax dollars. The writer points out that when illegal immigrants enter America, a portion of these people will promote illegal activities. The paper concludes that cheap labor costs cannot make up for the potential negative effects of illegal immigrants in the United States.
From the Paper "Workers who reside in the United States legally can be beneficial to the economy. Illegal immigrants do little to help the economy and are usually a burden. Illegal immigrants take away jobs from Americans. These people cost everyone tax dollars by working tax free and taking up space in jails and hospitals. From the moment immigrants enter the country illegally, they promote criminal activity."

Illegal Immigration, 2008. This paper looks at the sensitive issue of illegal immigration in the United States 1,467 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 48.95 »
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract In this article, the writer discusses that the events of September 11, 2001 and the continuing media reports of tens of millions of illegal immigrants being in the United States has not helped the position of those who want to immigrate and it has added fuel to the war on terrorism fires at home. This paper provides a review of the relevant literature to demonstrate several timely reasons why illegal immigrants who are already in the United States should be allowed to remain. The writer notes that this includes the enormous positive economic contributions of illegal immigrants and the exorbitant costs associated with identifying and deporting them. The writer also points out that migration is a natural survival technique and looks at the adverse effect that deporting illegal immigrants to the US would have on the nation's consciousness in view of America's longstanding legacy of welcoming dispossessed people.

Positive Economic Contributions of Illegal Immigrants
Exorbitant Costs Associated with Identifying and Deporting Illegal Immigrants
Conclusion
From the Paper "Given its significance in national affairs, it is not surprising that there have been some conflicting reports concerning the economic impact of illegal immigrants on the country's economy. While the actual numbers are unknown, critics suggest that these illegal immigrants are stealing jobs away from American workers who would readily accept these jobs if they were available. For instance, Gresham reports that there are literally millions of illegal aliens in the United States today who are using false Social Security cards and numbers to secure legitimate and better-paying employment than many observers might believe. According to Gresham, the impact of these workers on the nation's middle class will be profound and will make the gap between the haves and have-nots even greater. In fact, this author maintains that left unresolved, this trend will ultimately result in an American middle class that will shrink from its present 65 percent to 70 percent of Americans and create a larger percentage of poor people than ever before in the country's history ..."

Impact of Illegal Immigration
Proposed Solutions
Conclusion
From the Paper "The Republican National Committee began in June to run a television advertisement in California and 17 other states regarding the costs of illegal immigration. Democrats claimed the ad, based on a 1991 Backgrounder by the Center for Immigration Studies, contained a "blatant and demonstrable falsehood." The controversy is centered on the audio portion of the ad, which begins "Did you know there are over five million illegal immigrants in the U.S.? And that you spend five-and-a-half billion dollars a year to support them with welfare, food stamps, and other services." The cost figure is from "Estimated Annual Costs of Major Federal and State Services to Illegal Aliens" (Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder 2-91), one of the first attempts to quantify the fiscal cost of illegal immigration. The paper estimated that the total cost of 13 major federal and state services to illegal aliens in 1990 was $5.5 billion. (This is a gross number; i.e., it does not attempt to balance fiscal costs with taxes paid by illegal aliens. Even in net terms, however, illegal aliens are acknowledged by all immigration researchers to be a drain on the public coffers.)"
