Custom essays on Illegal Immigration

Nowadays, illegal immigration continues to be a disputable and divisive issue, not only in the United States, but throughout the whole world. People who are residing in a country illegally are known as “illegal immigrants”. In addition to this term, we should mention that an individual who is residing in a country in illegal way could also be known as an illegal alien, illegal migrant, undocumented immigrant, undocumented alien, unauthorized migrant or undocumented worker. In this case there are almost as many titles as there are commentators and that is why illegal immigrants contain a vast category of people. Like any social phenomenon, illegal immigration is not taken out of nowhere. It has its reasons which affect the underlying mechanisms of our society. Thus, I would like to discuss in this paper the problem of illegal immigration and understand its main reasons through the prism of contemporary reality.
First of all and in continuation of the information about the illegal immigration stated above it is necessary to pay attention to the actuality of this topic. As it was underlined in the beginning of the paper, today we want to analyze the topic of illegal immigration with more details. We have several reasons for choosing this hot topic. In particular, and, firstly, it is valid. With the help of the media, both public (Euro-News and others) and independent (the Internet), it is increasingly possible to see stories about illegal immigrants. Increasingly, authorities agree with the recognition of the problem of illegal immigration. Such events as the demonstration of one million illegal immigrants working in Los Angeles several years ago, protesting against the attempt to equate traditional workers who have came to work in earnest in the country, to the criminals, in the country which, admittedly was built by immigrants – these events slam memory and make people think about the causes of the phenomenon of illegal immigration. Why do people who have most often just come from the dying in poverty and unemployment country of the Third World to another country or region in search of a better life, find themselves in the position of “illegal people”?

Why are they, deprived of the rights of citizens of the country in which they operate, often powerless in the situation of slaves, dumb workforce which the employer in agreement with the official use as a cheap labor resource, which creates a living space of our society, ranging from cleaning floors in New York to construction of new skyscrapers in Moscow? Why do we hear on television appeals to deal with illegal immigrants, and often – in the literal sense – physically, and often – these appeals are incarnated in reality by teenagers? There are many questions, but there are also many answers on them.
Among the answers on the questions asked above we could define Blondell’s (2008) words, who said that “the poll results among immigrants who are already in the United States show a widespread feeling that the current immigration chaos is unfair to the millions who entered the country legally. There are hundreds of thousands each year who are eager to assimilate. There is the sense that fairness to those who have abided by the law requires that they be given priority over those who violate the law. This lends itself to the view that state and local cooperation with federal efforts should be mandatory because the problem of chaotic illegal immigration is harmful to both native and naturalized citizens in so many ways.”
In the minds of people the idea is methodically imposed that in all social evils of such and such people the “come in large numbers” are guilty, because they have different appearance, and they are afraid to answer. And these “come in large numbers” just work for such salary and in conditions for which no citizen protected by the law of any country would have agreed to. Our problem is to understand what is hidden behind the social stratum called “illegal immigration” and to dispel the illusions and myths, identify the root causes.
If we look at this issue globally, it is easy to see that illegal immigration is not the peculiarity of the United States, like any other state. The division of the world on the countries “where people go to” and “where they come from” is the basis of the modern economic division of the world. The modern world, with its famous globalization is a world tightly interconnected between the countries, constituting a single economic organism. In this world there are the countries of the “center” – economic superpower, the latest imperialists, the so-called “golden billion”, where the relative prosperity and reliability for today and tomorrow (USA, Western Europe, Japan) predominate. As it is generally known the growth and stability of the economies of the countries of the “center”, affluent countries, cause there the demand for labor, create jobs in enterprises. Just such situation pushes millions of people around the world to leave their home country and to go in search of happiness in the more affluent countries. If we think about the way of illegal immigrants, it is possible to mention the next directions and create imaginary map. According to this map it will be clear: Africa aims to Spain and Italy, Pakistan and India aim to England and the USA, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan – to Russia, Russia – to the Western Europe, etc., the list of the possible displacements is very diverse. The same can be seen in the scales of one country or even region: from the provincial remote places of Russia or the U.S. people tend to go to Moscow or New York – the cities of great opportunities, and the most important – job opportunities.
Thus, basing on the researched facts stated above among the causes of illegal immigration are the following:
 The demand for cheap labor in one or another country, usually more economically developed than the country from which follow the flow of migrants;
 Low level of life, sometimes wretched, that encourage people to indulge in the whirlpool of illegal immigration;
 The need for political parties and forces (usually the left-liberal) in additional support at the polls. According to Tanaka (2007), we received the next information: in particular, the rate for immigrants was made by one of the candidates for the French presidency Segolene Royal on the elections 2007. Because of the large number of naturalized French the orientation on this category of people is the basis for the political platform.
