Undocumented Immigrants Help Do No Harm to the United States. The issue of undocumented immigrants was a huge debate during the 2016 presidential debate. The increase in the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States has Americans worried that the increase will resemble more of an invasion, but there are many other reasons why it is better to keep our immigrant population undocumented than to deport them. The fact that they improve our economy, by eliminating low-end jobs or increasing our GDP per capita by 4% is a great place to start. Most Americans say that deporting undocumented immigrants is in America's best interest, but in reality, undocumented immigrants help America and even Americans themselves. An important argument for why illegal immigrants should be deported is the fact that they do not have to pay. taxes and receive benefits from the government. This in turn takes away resources from our government. However, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) predicts that undocumented immigrants paid $12 billion in Social Security taxes in 2010 using false or duplicate Social Security numbers. Undocumented immigrants actually pay many types of taxes like state income, sales tax, property tax, and excise taxes. In California alone, an estimated $280 million was paid in income taxes (). This information disproves the popular belief that undocumented immigrants do not pay taxes and also proves that undocumented immigrants make positive contributions to our economy and society as a whole. The fact that with the contributions that undocumented immigrants have made with little to no benefit from their efforts proves that we should at least give them a chance in American society. ....ny because managers save money on their workers and make money on the products. Undocumented immigrants make positive contributions to American society, particularly our economy. Deporting them would not be in America's best interest for many other reasons other than "the country was founded by immigrants." President Barack Obama said: "What makes someone an American is not blood or birth, but allegiance to our founding principles and faith that anyone, of any age, where, can write the next chapter of our history. »Our founding beliefs, our constitution and our freedom are what Americans are proud of. An early American belief was that anyone who wanted to be free of Tierney or simply wanted to start over in a new country could come and be welcomed into the country. So why are Americans choosing to change their beliefs and habits now ??
