Illegal Immigration Rebuttal

I looked at this quote from Devin's point of view about the Illegal Immigration Debate

Illegal immigrants do not pose a threat to the American government. They help support it by paying taxes and thus, keeping the economy healthy. They also take jobs that the American people don’t want.
 This statement is not true for many reasons. Illegal immigrants don't take jobs that Americans don't want, they take the only jobs that America can offer. The number of jobs greatly outnumber the amount of people in the United States. We already have enough homeless people without illegal immigrants coming in and stealing them. People are trying to get jobs so they can take care of themselves and, if they have one, support their family. They won't care if they like that job or now. What matters is the money they get for working so they won't die of hunger, thirst, or lack of health.
Another thing wrong with this thought is that Devin said illegal immigrants would help support America by paying taxes and benefiting the economy. The opposing debaters might not be aware of this, but some employees of different jobs are getting paid less than they usually get. Some workers have even gotten their payments cut in half. Just because they pay taxes doesn't mean that the taxes will automatically make America rich and give it the greatest economy ever. People would have to keep working to get more money to pay for taxes and keep paying for them. This is why illegal immigration must cease.

Illegal Immigration Class Debate

The United States of America is currently going through very difficult times, and it is becoming harder then ever to find an occupation. The main root of this problem is illegal immigration.  The only solution to this problem is that we should worry about our own citizens survival before we worry about giving jobs to people from over the border.  As we speak, more and more people are crossing our southern border and stealing job opportunities from Americans. In California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, there is very little control over who enters the country, and who leaves the country.  We need to step up the security right away to ensure that all Americans have a fair shot at getting jobs, and the population does not overwhelm the availability of them. We already have enough homeless and unemployed people in America without more people coming here.
    We can easily compare this situation to America’s relationship to China, we pay them billions of dollars for cheap labor, and guess what happens?  We now are in debt with China for these billions of dollars, and many American factory jobs disappear.  This is the exact same thing that is happening with immigration, just on a more individual scale.  Immigrants come to America looking for work, they offer to do our jobs for less, they get hired and take the place of American workers.  We have to learn from our mistakes and put an end to illegal immigration before it gets out of hand. If nothing happens, and we allow illegal immigrants to come, then the population of the United States will overflow, and probably half of America would be full of homeless people. If that happens, then there would be a lot more murdering and stealing over food and money.
    The best way to deal with this problem is to send federal troops to assist the Border Patrol. Right now there is simply not enough security down there and we need to do do something about it quickly, or else there would be no order whatsoever there.  6,000 federal troops would definitely contribute to our numbers, as well as make regulations on how things are done by the border patrol. That way, less illegal immigration will take place. With no government regulation, the border patrol does can get immoral, inhumane, and out of hand very fast. This would also help control the vigilantes to, and  with the government close by, they definitely won’t try to get away with some of the things they do now.
    This issue of illegal immigration is much more serious then we think, and must be dealt with head on as soon as possible. Otherwise, we face the downfall of the United States.
