It is clear that undocumented immigrants give more to the economy than they receive. They work hard, and it all comes down to giving it back to the economy in different ways, whether it's paying rent, taxes, food, clothing, etc. Immigrants not only help us, but they give more than they receive. According to the United States Department of Labor, more foreign-born immigrants are self-employed than natives born here in the United States. Immigration has both negative and positive effects on the economy. For example, on the positive side, immigrants are taxpayers, entrepreneurs, job creators and consumers, and on the negative side, they use government services that should not be provided to them. Even though the positive and negative outweigh each other, this is a very controversial topic that may never be resolved. Immigration has been around for hundreds of years, immigrants have fled their countries to fulfill their wants and needs. Immigration has a negative and positive impact on the economy through the workforce, and in the future it will prove to be a positive effect.
