There are approximately 11.1 million undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States. The current healthcare model affects all US citizens, but what are the parameters and rules for those living here illegally? The purpose of this paper is not only to answer this question, but also to address concerns related to the provision of health benefits, rights, and ethical responsibilities towards this population. Some views state that if a person is in the United States illegally, he or she should have no rights or benefits. Supporters justify this position by blaming illegal immigration for economic hardship, such as increased health care costs, for the American people. This attitude is simply inaccurate. Many undocumented immigrants contribute to the economies of federal, state, and local governments through taxes and can stimulate job growth. However, the cost of providing healthcare impacts federal, state, and local governments differently. The United States has a history of success being associated with greater negativity toward certain groups. Anti-immigrant sentiment and extreme immigration politics may stem from a desire to blame outsiders for poor economic conditions. The attitudes of immigrants and minorities, as well as political regulations, are linked to economic competition. Current public opinion polls show mixed attitudes about immigrants and immigration policies due to citizens' ability to distinguish between documented and undocumented citizens. The way the media reports the contributions of immigrants in a difficult economic market can lead to unfavorable attitudes about their success. Pairwise comparisons between different ethnic groups showed that less positive attitudes... at the heart of the paper... signal employers violating the basic standards of a decent society. A company does not need to assume full casual responsibility to assume social responsibility (Dwyer, 2004). Providing health care to all workers and their families is a great way to improve the benefits workers receive for the worst forms of work. make workers less vulnerable and express social and community respect for them. In conclusion, as long as immigrants with legal or illegal status continue to pay income taxes and contribute to Social Security, they should have rights to health care. Based on the evidence provided and proven by research, extending current health care benefits to this population would only serve to benefit both immigrant and native-born populations. Our ethical responsibilities are set out in our laws and have been outlined in this report.
