Most Americans in the United States that recommend for deportations of immigrants are of the opinion that it has led to a weaker economy in the country since a lot of funds are set aside to protect the group. Also, they claim that the immigrants are not bringing any value regarding the economy as well as contribute to some cases of violence and murder in the country (Chavez & Leo, 21). Besides, most believe that the immigrants have been at the center of snatching most of the job opportunities away from the natives. However, this is not always true from the group that perceives immigration as something that is not so bad, and it has helped in the creation of stronger economies in the United States.

On this regard, the following paper aims at bringing to light the different mechanisms by which DACA betters the American economy despite being viewed like a problem by many Americans. Since most immigrants got brought to the country at a young and tender age, most have gone to school and obtained jobs. Hence, the rest of the population is accusing the dreamers of taking all of their positions leaving them unemployed. However, the analogy by Trump surrogates majorly gets based on an assumption since most of the immigrants usually move to places such as metropolitans or non-manufacturing sites where employment rates are higher to find jobs to sustain themselves and their families in the long run. Besides, the dreamers have a significantly low chance when it comes to competing with the native population regarding jobs because most of them have a different alignment of educational qualification where they get trained to work in other occupations.

Thus, their contribution when it comes to the work environment is to complement the workforce of American natives which leads to an increase in overall productivity and improved lives. Creation of Robust Economies Markedly, for stronger economies to emerge, efforts have to be made from all sectors of the economy. Notable economists have come up to help in outlining and understanding some of the key benefits achieved by immigrants. The benefits that come along with migration are simply incomparable to the costs incurred in keeping and maintaining the immigrants in the United States. Firstly, it has led to an increase in entrepreneurship as well as in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines which has opened up possibilities for new innovations.

The immigrants have impacted business positively, and it gets accredited with strengthening the economy especially in the major sectors in a way to improve the living conditions in the countries. Most of whom are willing to work hard and take the jobs that millennial doctors are not willing to have such as in rural areas and remote places, general practice and in primary care (Wong et al. The sector requires people who have the will to help, are keen and well poised to make sacrifices as well as persons who can withstand hardships especially the harsh conditions witnessed in rural setups. The DACA program offers chances to the vulnerable population of immigrants, and the recipients take opportunities like this where jobs are available, and they give their best since it benefits them and the community at large.

As the employees’ work, they also contribute in complying with tax regulations thus positively contributing to the country’s economic growth since they are able to file their tax returns. Without the immigrants, especially the beneficiaries of DACA, healthcare is likely to be dealt significant blow not to mention the earlier outlined shortcomings to the economy. Lastly, immigration leads to flexibility and efficiency both of which can be harnessed to advance the economy of the United States. Often, the jobs in agriculture and construction get ignored by the majority of native American populations which reduces the number of alternative options for employers other than the option to employ immigrants who are willing to take on any role to support themselves. The less-educated Americans are unwilling to work in these sectors due to the small wages.

Therefore, the attitude and flexibility that gets portrayed by immigrant workers is to thank for the soaring productivity milestones achieved by the American economy (Patler, Caitlin & Cabrera 7). An established educational system to all undocumented immigrants through the programs like DACA helps the population in garnering competency in all existing fields. According to him, the move will be unfair as it will affect the lives of the children and a possible interference in their future leaving them helpless especially when they face deportation. However, as the speaker of Congress, the whole weight of the bill lays on his shoulders, and he determines whether or not he will table the law in the house of Congress for discussion (Canady & Valeri, 4). On the other hand, Paul Ryan’s sheds crocodile tears for the immigrants are not particularly believable.

He has been depicted by many people especially the Republicans as a speaker who works on behalf of the government since he has been keen to push for a lot of bills in favor of the Trump administration. So far, the Trump administration has been reluctant when it comes to taking action against immigrants, and everyone is anticipating on what Trump is going to come up with yet regarding this contentious issue. The families of the beneficiaries can live a happy and improved life due to financial independence. Moreover, the approach helps in the maximization of tax revenues which improves the economy in the long-run either in local, state and federal levels. Furthermore, education has experienced a vast improvement due to the presence of the DACA program.

Indeed, the program profoundly insists on the importance of education for the undocumented immigrants since it’s been founded on the premise that education will guarantee success. Many of the recipients now get enrolled in different schools, and many are undertaking a bachelor’s degree or pursuing higher studies. Hence, with no family members or relatives, the immigrants are likely to join the drug gangs to earn a living (Auyeung & Sabena 84). The ones who will be lucky to escape deportation will be forced to drop out of schools as well as their jobs to go into hiding just to remain in the only country they recognize as home. It is a potential threat to security since the young population can resort to criminal behavior since they will be trying to defend themselves as well as trying to earn a living.

Moreover, the termination of the program will result in a devastated economy. Reports show that the GDP is highly likely to reduce by approximately four hundred and thirty-three billion dollars within a decade if Trump’s agenda succeeds in ending DACA (Siemons et al 544). Indeed, the vacancies and unemployment rates will lead to a slow of businesses and tax revenues collected. The devastation will get felt across many employers especially for renowned companies like Target, PepsiCo, and Wal-Mart who have a huge employee base from the immigrants’ population in the country. Thus, most companies and employers are pleading with the government and the Congress to formulate laws that will protect the DACA recipients from facing the possible deportation. Nevertheless, employers may still engage in the abnormal code of conduct just to be able to fill the vacant positions that were initially occupied by the dreamers.

Some of the actions could be replacing the jobs with others to avoid the costs and challenges that gets associated with recruiting new employees while others may decide to employ people at lower prices as well as not employed at all. Therefore, the economy will be at the receiving end of the crisis. Lastly, the political atmosphere will experience the impacts of deportation of immigrants. Political sides are wise enough to know the contribution of immigrants especial those that get supported by DACA. Therefore, they should come up with policies that get geared towards strengthening the economy rather than weakening, and one of them is by protecting the DACA program. It will help uphold some of the promises to the youth as well as assisting them to achieve their dreams.
