Instructions: Now that your group has decided on an issue, you must demonstrate that there is a problem. You will turn in this research sheet completed with two articles attached that you showed that there is a problem

I. There is a problem in society today. That problem is:

That illegal immigrants cause over populartion, take jobs from actual citizens and hurt the eceonmy by not paying taxes. Also illegal aliens are causing more crime and costing the whole country more money. Illegal aliens are coming into our country and dont have to pay to be here because it is like they dont exist in our country, even though we have to pay for them being here.

II. Facts that demonstrate that there is a problem are: (Two articles and bibliography must be attached)

4.5 million illegal aliens are living in the U.S. today and they are taking jobs from U.S. citizens. The Center for Immigration Studies estimates the net cost to American tax payers at some 5.4 billion dollars a year. That is 5.4 billion dollars that could be kept by citizens and be spent which would then help stimulate the economy. The bombing of the World Trade Center illustrates the need to review on how we keep tabs on who is coming into the country. The more illegal aliens that come into the United States, the more money it costs the government and the tax payers. Catching these illegal aliens and getting them out of the country with greatly reduce money being spent on them and will allow for more jobs to be given to the high percentage of unemployed citizens that actually are legal citizens and desreve a job more than an illegal alien. In 1984, more than 1 million illegal aliens were aprehended, consider that number now since the amount of illegal aliens that have come into the United States since then. More than 3 million illegal aliens are entering our country every year, which doesnt compare at all to the amount of people leaving the United States. Over population is becoming a big problem in the United States and that is the last thing we need is to be like China. The more aliens that enter the Unted States, the more more tax money is being spent on their children for education. Illegal aliens are alos criminals in some circumstances and the less crime we have in our country the more time we can spend trying to fix the economy.
