One opinion:
There are an estimated 20 million illegal immigrants in this country. They don't just pick tomatoes anymore. They have started taking over our middle jobs as well. A Mexican came over here from Mexico 9 years ago. It started slowing down. He got laid off a couple months later he gets called back because they wanted someone that could speak to all the Mexican customers in their native language. "Se hablo Espanol" is everywhere. A teen used to be able to get a summer job or after school job at MacDonald's. Go there look around, that job he or she wanted is being filled by a 40 year old Mexican. At the fast food restaurants you will be hard pressed to find a white or black person even at the manager position. We also have these walk in clinics. They fill their jobs with interpreters for those that come in to be seen that can only speak Spanish. It's not only clinics, call on a Realtor, car dealer, dentist or the umpteen times you call anywhere and get the 'press one' to talk to someone in Espanol. (Supplied bu a nonmember user)

Answer:
Many people see Immigration as a problem and increases unemployment. This may be a misconception. In places of high unemployment, you would not have any immigrants there simply because of no work. People see the immigrants taking all the blue collar jobs but it simply not the case. They do jobs that the "native" people won't do. These include strawberry picking, rubbish collector, cleaner... The list goes on. So next time you say kick out the immigrants, you go do the dirt work. The cost of such things will go up thanks to no willing people.

The large influx of Spanish-speaking immigrants in the U.S. have caused many school districts to become bilingual in order to be able to teach the immigrant's children. Spanish-immersion schools have become common as well.

Illegal immigrants provide cheap labor in jobs that many Americans don't wish to do- farming, construction, domestic service, etc. They also push millions of dollars into the US economy yearly.

On the downside, they sometimes take advantage of free government services that they have not paid taxes for, such as Medicaid.

Illegal immigration has made many US citizens jobless, as most of the low-paid and unskilled jobs are taken by the illegal immigrants. The crime rates have also increased due to drug trafficking and other acts. This puts the life of innocent citizens at jeopardy. They cannot live safely in their own native country.

the immigrants take job spaces that would otherwise go to legal workers, in exchange for cheap labor.
