Against Illegal Immigrants in America Persuasive Essay by Top Papers

The paper argues that America should take the dramatic step of establishing a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border as well as bolstering efforts to track down those who are in America illegally and who are diverting social services away from legitimate American citizens who really need those services, at the same time as they hurting domestic businesses and retailers. The paper contends that illegal immigrants increase crime in the areas in which they predominate, drain the aforementioned social services, and take money out of America via remittances that go, not towards purchasing items here, but towards subsidizing family members back in Mexico. The paper reveals that America is now home (as of early 2006) to roughly 12 million illegal immigrants (Ohlemacher, para.1). The paper therefore argues that strict border security is essential.
