Foreign-born people accounted for 8% of the US population in the 1990 census, in the decades prior to 1930, the figure was 13% In 1996 about 5 million illegal aliens reside in the US, today our count is close to 20 million 55% of all illegal aliens come from Mexico, 40% live in California The illegal alien population is growing by about 275,000 each year How did this problem develop? The Industrial Revolution was a big impact of how immigration developed. Many immigrants came over to the United States as an escape from poverty, political and or religious freedom. Also, there were many jobs available for immigrants here in the states. Education was also a big reason for immigrants to come over. the US offered free public education which was very desirable by the immigrants.
There are an outstanding number of immigrants, both legal and illegal, in the United States. Over 12 million illegal immigrants are residing in the United States. Immigrants are helping the economy, however many immigrants are taking jobs many American born citizens claim are their jobs. According to a study by Rice University, illegal aliens were displacing roughly 730,000 American workers every year, at an outstanding amount of about $4.3 billion a year. In addition, the supply of cheap labor depresses the wages and the working conditions of the working citizens, who are in fact poor. Many immigrants are coming to America as students, educating themselves, and then ultimately going back to their home countries. This enhances the education of other countries education, and not ours, this will ultimately lead to a worst economy In today’s economy, the unemployment percentage in the U.S. is higher than ever. Immigrants are taking jobs that Americans need.

The costs of illegal immigration to the taxpayer are incredibly high, but the largest costs are for things such as education of their children and emergency medicare. Despite being ineligible, some illegal aliens also get welfare the same way they get jobs: with identity documents falsely identifying them as U.S. citizens. In addition, if they have U.S.-born children, they may collect welfare assistance in the name of those children. For example, the cost immigration for California alone is over 10.5 billion dollars alone.

Democratic PartyRepublican Party Known as the peaceful party, the Democrats rally for personal freedom, equal rights, civil liberties, equal opportunity and free endeavor. Democrats want to give illegal immigrants a chance to prove their worth and become citizens in the land of the free. Although Americans do come first in terms of legal protections and rights that Democrats fight for, their views extend to people beyond the American borders as well. They will passionately fight to protect American borders and those who live legally within them. Their pride and patriotic protectiveness make Republicans much more likely to enter war than Democrats. Republicans often believe that many foreigners want to "invade" the U.S rather than become part of it. They argue that any leeway and forgiveness at all will cause a rush from Latin America, and other areas from around the world.
