I.Introduction/Attention

A.Attention getter: Since the beginning of time, The United States has been a nation of immigrants seeking freedom and better economic opportunities. According to Network Lobby, "History tells us that from the beginningimmigration is beneficial to the country when we have a system that allows them to migrate freely and legally become a citizen of the United...show more content... Eligible individuals must be age 35 or younger, hold a high school diploma or GED, and pass a criminal background check ... Permanent residency may be offered to those who choose to complete two years of military service or two years of higher education. Early versions of the bill failed in 2001 and 2007.... As of 2016, the DREAM Act has not been passed."

D.Our country is supposed to be one about opportunity, neglecting to provide an equal chance for these children to learn would contradict the notion that America is the land of opportunity.

(Internal summary: In addition, it does the country no good to prevent children from receiving their education because we are the future nurses, doctors, and teachers.)

(Transition: Now that you understand this need, let's talk about immigrants paying taxes.)

III.Satisfaction

These various expenses having money spent on them more often adds money to the economy allowing it to grow. The increase of this demand generates more jobs to build homes, sell and make food, and to do the services. Increase of demand caused by the incoming immigrants means a boosts in the economy of the country. Immigrants bring a wave of talent and ingenuity, most immigrants that are educated, and graduate college with a great diploma come to the US to live happily because America is the best country in the world in their perspective, which means if they come here and get a job as a doctor at a hospital or an architect working in a big company, they are spending money on stuff theyneed and want which makes the economy grow and keep America great.

A study finds a significant increase in innovation–in fields that immigrants enter there is a 30% increase in patents by domestic inventors. These benefits are driven at least in part by contacts between immigrants and native inventors. One of the perks of immigrants coming to the US is that American inventors get new sets of ideas and methods that they would use for their own work in the future, that means immigrants are giving Americans some of their wisdom and experience for them to use later on.
