Why Are Advocates Calling for Legalization for Undocumented Immigrants?
The monumental debate surrounding undocumented immigrants
The controversy surrounding immigrants residing in the US undocumented, a number that currently exceeds 11 million, has grown considerably over the past few years.
This is because, on the one hand, former President Trump’s administration tied to deport as many undocumented foreigners as possible, which sparked nonconformity and pressure from immigrant rights advocates and activists.
On the other hand, President Biden’s administration has tried to expand legal routes for undocumented immigrants since January 2021, but has encountered major obstacles along the way, which has also drawn the attention of the American public.
The debate centers on the fact that there is a part of the population that supports the idea of opening a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who meet certain eligibility criteria, but there is also a part of the population that disagrees with this idea.

Reasons why advocates support the path to citizenship
Controversy aside, it is important to understand why certain political leaders, activists and immigrant rights advocates support legalization for foreigners currently residing in the US undocumented.
Let’s look at some important facts:
The role of undocumented immigrants in the local workforce
Advocates and other social leaders support legalization for undocumented immigrants because of their role in the local workforce.
In fact, according to a report released in December 2020, about 5.2 million undocumented immigrants work in essential sectors in the midst of the health crisis caused by the global Coronavirus pandemic.
In other words, 1 in 5 essential workers is an undocumented foreigner.

Decades in the US
Advocates and other social leaders support legalization for undocumented immigrants because many of them have resided in the US for a considerable period of time and have already built their lives here.
In fact, research conducted in April 2021 reveals that two-thirds of undocumented immigrants have lived in the US for more than 10 years, that is, 66% of them.

The potential economic repercussions of legalizing unauthorized immigrants
Advocates and other social leaders support legalization for undocumented immigrants because of their contribution to the economy in the medium and long term.
In fact, according to a June 2021 study, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) could increase by $1.7 trillion over the next 10 years if Congress supports the Biden administration’s ideal of legalizing undocumented immigrants.
