The Injustice of Immigration

Courts
INTRODUCTION
Picture this your family just moved to America looking for a new life in the land of
the free even though youve just moved here you are given living rights in America,
your family and you are happy and enjoying your new life in America, three years
later you and your family get a immigration court notice and you are afraid of what
is going to happen to your life, family, and of course, why?
This is the many flaws in our immigration court system even though you can have
access to live here you still may find yourself dealing with the most difficult
situation of your life, risk of deportation. Some say the Immigration court has no
flaws but trust me there are so many flaws that it can fill the Hoover Dam, people
may dismiss these flaws as Oh that not true at all. or This doesnt affect many
people. But trust me it affects many people even U.S born citizens are affected by
these rules, if they are ever accused of illegal immigration.Trust me these people
would go out of the way to get you out of there country, That is why im going to tell
you about how we can stop and help people affected by the this system.
BODY
The flaws of the immigration court system are more of basic things that affect certain people all
the time, one being the lack of courts in many states. There are 30x as more radio shacks then
their are immigration courts in the U.S alone.(Brustein, Joshua. After RadioShack Dies, There
Will Still Be 1,000 Unchanged RadioShacks. Bloomberg Businessweek. Bloomberg L.P., 6 Feb.
2015. Web.) This is a problem especially for people living in rural areas cause most can't get to
the court in time and are always not able to represent themselves in the face of the judge.
Immigration courts also have a problem with staff. Every year there about 450,000 immigration
cases that are still backed, judges are forced to handle 1,500 cases each year and unlike other
judges they can be fired.("Immigration Court Backlog Tool." TRAC: Transactional Records
Access Clearinghouse. Syracuse University, 2016. Web.) (Saslow, Eli. "In a crowded
immigration court, seven minutes to decide a family's future." Washington Post. Nash Holdings
LLC, 2 Feb. 2014. Web. ) Unlike justice system courts, immigration courts dont give public
lawyers to people in fact even children.(Nzelibe, Uzoamaka Emeka. "Why are these children
representing themselves in court?" Reuters. Thomson Reuters, 14 Jan. 2016. Web. )Overall the
flaws in immigration causes many more hardships for more people stuck in this system and can
basically destroy the american dream for many american citizens.
Argumentative Paragraph
These arguments about immigration will be labeled in a Numbers list to get my point across a
lot better.
1:
Immigrants will take our jobs and lower our wages, especially hurting the poor.

First of all this is not true,immigration increasing economy by providing more manufacturing
power to help produce more goods faster and better.
immigrants may increase the relative wages for some Americans by a tiny amount and decrease
them by a larger amount for the few Americans who directly compete against them. Immigrants
likely compete most directly against other immigrants so the effects on less-skilled native-born
Americans might be very small or even positive.(Nowrasteh, A. (2016). 15 Common Arguments
against Immigration, Addressed. Retrieved December 11, 2016, from https://fee.org/articles/15common-arguments-against-immigration-addressed)
2:
Immigrants abuse the welfare state.
Most immigrants do not have access to welfare ause it's only given to american citizens and not
immigrants,
Immigrants are less likely to use means-tested welfare benefits that similar native-born
Americans. When they do use welfare, the dollar value of benefits consumed is smaller. If poor
native-born Americans used Medicaid at the same rate and consumed the same value of
benefits as poor immigrants, the program would be 42 percent smaller. (Nowrasteh, A. (2016).

3:
Immigrants are a net fiscal cost.
Related to the welfare argument is that immigrants consume more in government benefits than
they generate in tax revenue. The empirics on this are fairly consistent immigrants in the
United States have a net-zero impact on government budgets (the published version of that
working paper is published here). (Nowrasteh, A. (2016). 15 Common Arguments against
Immigration, Addressed. Retrieved December 11, 2016, from https://fee.org/articles/15common-arguments-against-immigration-addressed)
Conclusion
The immigration Court system is very flawed and has been flawed for a long time, if we
keep ignoring this problem many more people will get imported even though they are
citizens or were given the right to live here.Many people are affected by this injustice and
i know first hand because my uncle was deported, even though he was a citizen in
america, thanks to the people and having good lawyers he was able to not be deported
but not many people are so lucky and get deported from america.
