Dear, Andy Harris

Illegal immigration is great for our economy, its actually improving it! I don’t understand why they’re not given a chance to become a U.S. citizen. They help bring in a lot more revenue. According to border patrol agents, there are about 20 million illegal immigrants living in the states right now. If you try to calculate how much money they spend in a year, it would be billions.  That’s a good enough reason as to why they deserve a path citizenship.
I think that illegal immigrants should be provided with a path to citizenship. It shouldn’t be an easy process, but it should be possible. The immigration page on whitehouse.gov lists out what President Obamas opinion is on immigration. President Obama actually wants to have an immigration reform, and his ideas regarding the reform are pretty good. He wants to give undocumented immigrants the chance to become a U.S citizen. But giving them this chance comes with a few requirements, he wants them to pay their taxes, learn how to speak English, and undergo background checks. I agree with all of these things.
Some might say that illegal immigrants are horrible for our economy because they take jobs away from Americans. But that’s not even close to the truth. There are so many jobs that Americans have put on the back burner, simply because they just don’t want to stoop to that level. For example, plumbing or construction jobs, but illegal immigrants have no problem doing those jobs. Most illegal immigrants are hard workers, especially the ones that want to make a living and have a good future. Whether immigrants get paid under the table or not, they are helping out our economy and keeping businesses intact. But can you imagine how much more money our economy could be making because undocumented immigrants became legalized? They would no longer have to be paid under the table and actually get charged for income tax, plus so much more.
            Immigrants should be given the chance to become a U.S citizen. They are hard workers, and want to make a better life for themselves. Plus they are improving the country’s revenue. Also many Americans like the idea of undocumented immigrants becoming legalized. According to a poll done by CBS news, it found out that the public supports the immigration reform. They believe that it would be good for our country and it would help us out. Immigrants have great values and remind us what it is like to be ambitious. People need to be reminded that they came here with nothing, and had to make a living. They are hardworking people looking for a chance to have a better life; so you should help make that possible. I might not live in your district, but I do think this is an issue that you should consider voting for.
