Topic > Persuasive Essay on Dream Act - 988

For individuals who have served in the military or in a government position it is illogical to send them away after helping the country. Any dreamer who has lived in the United States should have the right to stay if they worked directly for the government because if the government used them they should be considered part of that government's country. Deportation is cruel because most of the time people immigrate to a better place than where they came from. Both Gordon Hanson, a professor at UC San Diego, and Marcel Fafchamps of Stanford University believe this is the solution stating: “Large wage differentials, coupled with binding and slowly changing quotas on legal immigration to the United States, create queues to enter in the United States. "(Hanson), and "Theories of labor migration predict that individuals move to increase their utility or well-being." (Fafchamps). Both agree in their research that immigration is primarily caused by the need for better employment agreements or conditions. Deportation of an individual who does not cause problems is foolish and a waste of money. When thinking about the lives of immigrants one should not think that they should be deported but rather what good reasons are there for deportation they don't do any harm, what's the problem with letting them stay?
