The issue of undocumented immigration in America is a topic of much debate. Some people believe that undocumented workers should be granted amnesty, while others believe that amnesty is not the right course of action.

Consider both sides of the amnesty issue and decide if you support or oppose amnesty. In one paragraph, explain your position and defend your opinion with evidence in the form of details, examples, or statistics.

Answer:

To be answer this question, we must first define "amnesty" to be based on something we can argue about. Amnesty, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is when a person or group in authority pardons a individual (or group of individuals) of a offense that they have done. The next thing we need to define is "undocumented workers". Undocumented Workers, as defined by WorkPlace Fairness, is not having met the requirements to be able to secure a citizenship or a permit, but is allowed to have working rights in the United States.

The question that is being asked here is whether or not illegal immigrants should be allowed to continue to work and live in a "legalized" status. In my opinion, they should not be allowed to be given amnesty. Remember, they are here for only to work, and if there is no other thing interfering with them being able to live inside their country (such as civil war, famine, persecution, etc.), they should continue to go through the same channel as others. Amnesty should only be granted to those who are in desperate need of it, and not to just anybody outside the country.

*Links cannot be shared in the answer, so if you agree, just search up WorkPlace Fairness, and find statistical data to back up this claim. If you do not believe, then you can also use these sources, but counter them.
