How Illegal Immigration Has Helped America-Indepth

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, America has become a home for more than twelve million illegal immigrants. Due to these immigrants being illegal, they are not able to maintain citizenship in this country; but still they must work in order to survive. Therefore, these immigrants do jobs that some may classify as lower level jobs that no other America wants to do. This helps America because if no one does the dirty work that is needed, then the extensive work that people want to do cannot be done. These jobs can consist of anything: fruit picking, washing dishes, packing meat, sweeping the floor, etc. Illegal immigrants do these jobs because they know it will help Americans and help themselves. By having this mind set, illegal immigrants already conspire the American Dream and what it means to be an American. With the illegal immigration rate increasing, it's easy to think that the American government is not strict about keeping illegals out. However, billions of dollars are being spent every year to patrol the area and to rebuild the border that is destined to keep illegals out. Now, many have come to think that maybe there should not be a border because billions of dollars being wasted and illegal immigrants are still entering the country. Not only that, but the illegal immigrants are helping the country by helping the economy by getting jobs that are not high in demand, because basic Americans do not want to do them.
