Part 3: Brief

Illegal immigration into the United States should be stopped. Illegal immigrants are either those who came into the United States without ever getting a visa, or those who did obtain a visa but have overstayed the time period of the visa. In many ways illegal immigration has a negative effect on the U.S.
Money is being sent back to the illegal immigrants’ countries, without being accounted for by the U.S. This is causing the U.S. to lose significant amounts of money every month.
Illegal immigrants are also taking away American’s job opportunities, causing the American unemployment rate to go up. This causes the amount of money the U.S. has to pay to unemployed Americans go up, and again causes the U.S. to lose significant amounts of money.
It also costs the government extra money when illegal immigrant children are enrolled in our schools from grades K-12. Each year, states have to pay for these illegal immigrant children to go to school. They also have to fund the programs for the non-English speaking students and the free lunch programs that most of the illegal immigrant children in schools receive.
It is also found that many illegal immigrants who come to the United States end up in jail. They have high crime rates, and the more of them that are in jail means the more money the government has to pay to keep them there. Not only does this cause more money loss, but it endangers the lives of America’s citizens and legal immigrants.
The splurge of illegal immigrants making it into the United States every day is costing the people of the United States, and the government greatly. Illegal immigration is not acceptable and should be stopped.

Part Two-Topic

The topic of my argument is illegal immigration. I am against illegal immigration and the illegal aliens that come into the United States every day. Many support that after illegal immigrants are here, they should get some of the same rights as legal immigrants and Americans, such as getting a driver's license and having a path to actual citizenship. However, I feel that they should not be granted any rights, and that they should not be allowed to stay in the United States.
