GLOBAL PROBLEM OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

GLOBAL PROBLEM OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

In the last few months, the topic of illegal immigration has been a big issue with lawmakers and the people in world. Generally speaking, illegal immigrants are just people trying to better their lives. They are fleeing oppression, chronic unemployment, poverty and little or no opportunities in their homelands, tyranny of their rulers and terrorism and wars. Police brutalities, and corrupt burocracy and hunger. However, in the process, they face some tough issues regarding immigration and the rule of law. These people are exploited in the process by unscrupulous officers, leaders, travel agents and corrupt govt. employees, communism is one of the reasons. 

Illegal immigrants in the U.S. come north from Mexico in order to supply thousands of U.S. employers and farmers with low-skilled laborers. Besides US European countries and Australia face the same problem. India face the problem of Bangladeshi refugees . 

Pros Of Illegal Immigration:
1. It helps keep the economy moving by filling low-wage jobs.
2. It provides a better lifestyle for those who enter the country illegally.
3. It creates a pool of consumers for a variety of goods and services.
4. Farmers are able to plant and harvest less expensively.
5. Contributions to social security funds often go unclaimed.
6. Illegal immigrants pay sales taxes.
7. Illegal residents, who are property owners, also pay real estate taxes.
8. Millions of illegal rent properties in depressed areas where renters are hard to find.
9. They purchase real estate and generate commissions for agents and brokers.
10. Illegal immigrants contribute to mortgage loan profits.
11. They open bank accounts that yield interest and dividends to bankers.
12. Many purchase auto insurance and contribute to insurers profits margins.

13. They contribute in development of the countries they migrate to

14. They provide cheep labors.

15. Some times they become vote banks and politicians take their advantage.

Cons Of Illegal Immigration:

1. Burden on tax-based resources, costing taxpayers billions of dollars.
2. Difficult prosecution and justice when perpetrators flee the country.
3. Disparity between legal immigrants who follow the rules and those who don't.
4. They risk death when traveling the desert to reach the borders. 
5. Those who successfully cross the border inspire those left behind to do the same.
6. Continued growth of the demand for cheap labor and low wages.
7. No government reimbursement to offset states' illegal alien maintenance costs.

8. Potential negative effects on working and middle-class citizens.

9. Illegal money transactions

11. Fake document mills
12. Imbalance in authorized immigration quotas

13.It gives chance to human traffickers, who take advantage of their situation and cheat them of huge amounts of money .some times make them boat people, leaving them on mercy of god.

14. some of these people take part in criminal activities and drugs and prostitution.

15. Govts.infiltrate spies and agents in other countries.

We live in very difficult times. Americans and people from other countries are feeling the pains pressures caused by unemployment, homelessness, poverty, and hopelessness, lack of education, low-paying jobs, stress and hunger. Should people from south of the border be blamed and criminalized in the courts of public opinion for trying to have a better life?
Illegal immigration is a complex issue but it is not an unsolvable problem. In my view, We'd be off to a good start if the government imposed hefty fines on employers who use illegal labor. The money collected should then be applied to implement efficient border security and law enforcement. As far as a fast track to U.S and European and Australian citizenship, I think that is wrong unless all other immigrants who have been patiently waiting, inside and outside the United States, are granted the same privilege.
At the end of the day, everyone is just another person trying to do the best he or she can to have a better life. Compassion and justice intermix, which brings me to the thrust of this article: considering illegal immigration pros and cons, does the end justify the means for the person who knowingly enters the country illegally? Should compassion outweigh legal justice?
