 * Research Paper Quick Check **

** Startling and informative opening ** · There are over 10 million illegal immigrants in the United States taking jobs—and money—from most of our low-skilled Americans. That would count as 25% of the uninsured living in America. Agricultural jobs that illegal immigrants hold could be replaced by machines. They have no care for the American culture and customs and just ignore them while bringing their own right in. Quick summary of main question that I mean to answer or reason I think this topic is important ** · Are illegal immigrants really a bad thing? It is //illegal// so it shouldn’t be happening in the first place so yes, it is bad. Also, all they want is to be in America, not to change with American culture, they actually bring their own languages and cultures with them. Two or three most interesting things I learned from research ** · -illegal immigrants are using their work in Mexico to apply for American social security benefits -Mexicans are 80% more likely to die on a jobsite than Americans -sometimes there are more employed illegal immigrants than there are unemployed Americans Confirmation or rejection of one or two commonly held beliefs about this topic ** · -Immigrants do illegally obtain most healthcare just by receiving it while illegal -illegal immigrants literally do “jump the border” into America · Illegal immigrants take American jobs, they only provide cheap labor, and get almost free social security benefits from migrating to the U.S. Illegal immigrants have participated in most terrorist attacks on the U.S. and about half of the terrorists who were involved in 9/11 were illegal immigrants. · Illinois and New York are among the top five most populated immigrant states. More than 50% of the total illegal immigrants are Hispanic.
