Unauthorized Immigrants

Today we took notes on the powerpoint, but I already had the notes because the powerpoint is the same thing as the packet we took notes on yesterday. We did talk about unauthorized immigrants and how they make a living. As of 2010, 35% of unauthorized adult immigrants have been in the U.S. for 15 years. Even if you are illegally in the U.S., you still need to make a living because that is what you came for, a better life. Immigrants tend to take a lot of the labor force jobs that Americans don't want to do. Which is why, by the way, it doesn't make sense when people say immigrants are stealing our jobs because how they can steal something that we didn't even want to do? Immigrants contribute a lot in America, illegal or not. Lower paying jobs don't take much to get, so it is a way for unauthorized immigrants to get money without going through a whole process that might expose that they aren't legal. Some other reasons people could immigrate were if they were skilled, hard workers, for diversity so there were more people from every region, and people that could benefit the technology or health in the U.S. If there are unauthorized immigrants that have been in the U.S. for a long time and they are contributing to our country then the government will sometimes reward them with citizenship because they are doing us good. At the end of the day like I've said many times, the main reason the U.S. lets people immigrate here is because it benefits our country.
