Immigrants Should be Helped

Argument: Sending immigrants back without helping them should not be allowed.

Assertion/Claim (Topic Sentence) = Main Idea

• Immigrants should not be sent back without helping them.

Evidence -Concrete Detail:

• Sending immigrants back without help them cause more problems in the long run then just helping them to begin with. 
• Commentary 1: Instead of having to deal with the issue of them returning again illegally just provide them help the first time.
• Commentary 2: The process that is required to deport someone is more expensive then providing them with services to become legal.

•  The deporting process cost millions and takes to long to complete.
• Commentary 1: If the U.S. provided help to immigrants the national debt would not be increased as high as it is with the process they use now of sending them back and would be less rampant immigrants in general!
• Commentary 2: An immigrant must have an attorney for court and if immigrants are not able to afford an attorney they should be appointed one.  This could all be prevented by helping them.
  
• Opposing Claims/They Say:
• Many people believe that deporting illegal immigrants is right, because they should not be allowed to stay if they are already breaking the law. 
• Some think that allowing them to stay leads to more economic problems involving jobs and crime levels to increase.

My Rebuttal/I Say:

• Although I agree with the citizens points to a certain extent, I believe even if they are breaking the law they be allowed the same opportunity to a better life as we are.   

My Paragraph
Immigrants should not be sent back without help.  Sending immigrants back to Mexico causes more problems and expenses in the long run then it would by just helping them to begin with.  Within the US there are several thousand illegal immigrants trying to have a better life for them and their family.   If an immigrant has formed a family, he/she should be allowed to stay and receive help to become legal.  The process that an immigrant has to go through is time consuming and very costly to the U.S.. Once an immigrant has been arrested and has started the deportation process he/she must get an attorney to represent them which most can not afford one so it leads to even more spending.  Immigrants should be allowed the same opportunity for a better life as we are as U.S. residents.

My thinking
Immigrants should be helped instead of just being turned away and deported. Immigrants should have the same rights as U.S. citizens.
