Our language arts debate was pretty fiery..Does illegal immigration hurt America? Illegal immigration does not hurt Americans. Whether the question is in economy, terrorism, or over population of America, it doesn't really hurt the state of Americans. The American economy is growing every day, and a part of it is due to the low paying jobs that immigrants take. Immigrants taking jobs does not at all hurt the wages and conditions of natives. Get the real facts. Yes, the earnings of low-skilled workers like dropouts have been decreasing, but that's been decreasing for years and years, and that's the result of so many people deciding not to finish high school, not caused by immigrants. Also, the whole of America is not going to be devastastatingly bombed just because a few immigrants come over. Yeah, the 9/11 attack was by people with expired visas. Yes, they could have been arrested when they violated the terms of agreement for coming into the country. But what if we ahd decoded just one of the many messages in a foreign language that told of the upcoming attack? That could have prevented 9/11 too, if only we had known how to speak Arabic. Do we really need to spend huge amounts of money building walls just to keep out the tiniest percent of immigrants who come with ill purposes? America is about trust. We can at least trust that much. Many people say that health issues are a problem with illegal immigration. Humans are not dumb animals, like rats. humans can be screened, treated for, and given medication, especially in the United States. Also, even with a lot of immigrants with green cards and illegals, the population of America is not changing. Unlike other countries in Europe or Asia, America's population is at a steady, even population that is not growing, despite the immigrants. So what really is the harm?
