undocumented+immigrants


 * Undocumented workers** are defined as people entering a country without formal permission.Specifically, it refers to people who are working in a country without proper visas.

A main issue with illegal immigration would be the undocumented workers. The main reason why we have so many illegal immigrants sneak into our borders is to achieve the “American dream” and to find success with a new job with pay as well as to start a new life in the United States. It seems simple enough, but what really makes this a social justice issue are how these men and women are undocumented workers. By not entering the country legally they do not have proper visas or licenses to work. What this does is that they do not contribute the same as we legal American citizens do. As American citizens, we are obligated to pay taxes, health insurance, etc. Illegal immigrants are able to work and get pay without being obligated to pay taxes, health insurance, etc. because they are technically not a citizen, just an unknown individual who snuck into our borders. This is unfair to those who do work and do pay taxes and who live in the United States. American citizens shouldn’t be put below those who came illegally and who aren’t citizens. Illegal immigrants must either leave the country or be forced to contribute otherwise this issue remains to be a major topic to resolve for our country.

(Above: A sign that reads "Let Us Be Part of The American Dream" is shown by a group of assumed illegal immigrants. This is a relevant image because the sole purpose for illegal immigrants in our country are for them to find a job and live the "American Dream" but what they do not get is that they must contribute as much as any United States citizen.) (To the right: A sign stating "STOP Illegal Alien Invasion" is held by a couple of protesting United State citizens. They are protesting because they do not appreciate the fact that illegal immigrants can come and steal jobs from other citizens and live in the country without living with the same obligations and laws that citizens of the US follow.)
