Undocumented workers drive down the wages of

native-born workers.

A study released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, however, found


that undocumented workers have only a negligible impact on the wages of
documented workers who work at the same firm. The study found that
documented workers earned 0.15 percent, or about $56 per year, less at
firms that hired undocumented workers than they would at firms that hire
only documented ones. Other studies have pointed in a similar direction.

Undocumented immigrants are stealing American


jobs.
Fact: As the U.S. Chamber of Commerce pointed out in a 2013 paper,
undocumented immigrants generally offer different skill sets than native-
born workers, meaning they often arent competing for the same jobs.
Additionally, as entrepreneurs, consumers and taxpayers, undocumented
immigrants also create jobs that wouldnt exist without them.

The U.S. economy does not contain a fixed number of jobs for which
immigrants and native-born workers compete, the report says. Rather
than opening up job opportunities for native-born workers, if all
undocumented workers in the United States were deported, the U.S.
would lose jobs, the report says

Undocumented immigrants dont pay


taxes.Fact: While undocumented immigrants dont hold legal migration
status, they generally pay a host of taxes. Many file income tax returns, and
more than 3 million have payroll taxes deducted from their paychecks.

Undocumented immigrants paid about $100 billion into Social Security over the
last decade, Stephen Gross, the chief actuary at the Social Security
Administration, told Vice News last year.
Despite paying an estimated $13 billion per year into the Social Security system,
undocumented immigrants only withdraw an estimated $1 billion a net annual
contribution of $12 billion.

Benefit the american economy

According to the Pew Research Hispanic Trends Project, there were


8.4 million unauthorized immigrants employed in the U.S.; representing
5.2 percent of the U.S. labor force (an increase from 3.8 percent in
2000). Their importance was highlighted in a report by Texas
Comptroller Susan Combs that stated, Without the undocumented
population, Texas work force would decrease by 6.3 percent and
Texas gross state product would decrease by 2.1 percent.
Furthermore, certain segments of the U.S. economy, like agriculture,
are entirely dependent upon illegal immigrants.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that, about half of the


hired workers employed in U.S. crop agriculture were unauthorized,
with the overwhelming majority of these workers coming from Mexico.
The USDA has also warned that, any potential immigration reform
could have significant impacts on the U.S. fruit and vegetable industry.
From the perspective of National Milk Producers Federation in 2009,
retail milk prices would increase by 61 percent if its immigrant labor
force were to be eliminated.

Echoing the Department of Labor, the USDA, and the National Milk
Producers Federation, agricultural labor economist James S. Holt
made the following statement to Congress in 2007: The reality,
however, is that if we deported a substantial number of undocumented
farm workers, there would be a tremendous labor shortage.

In terms of overall numbers, The Department of Labor reports that of


the 2.5 million farm workers in the U.S., over half (53 percent) are
illegal immigrants. Growers and labor unions put this figure at 70
percent.
More cultural diversity =more tolerance

In 2015 there were 57 million latinos inside the USA. And because of the
huge percentage they represent they have an amazing buying power, thats
way many artist are starting to write song that they like. In 2015 Justin
Bieber, a white singer, made a collaboration with a well know reageton
singer, J Balvin, and in his last shows his being dancing with Daddy Janky to
his song named Gasolina. However the most powerful factor fueling latin{s
music impact is the rise of reaggeaton, this influence has made some radio
stations as WSKQ increase their popularity. Consequently we can see that
illegal immigration has change America{s culture in all the ways from the
music they hear, to the food they eat.
