- W2576840891 abstract "Across the United States, data have shown a severe overburdening of the nation's healthcare infrastructure. In an attempt to identify the root causes of this escalating problem, politicians, healthcare officials, and citizens alike, have developed various explanations. One that has been mentioned by a number of researchers is the belief that the problem originates from the rapidly increasing number of immigrants who enter the United each year. While conclusive evidence substantiating this assertion currently does not exist, a 2014 Gallup poll of U.S. citizens from all 50 states has revealed undocumented immigration is the most important problem in the U.S. with 17% of respondents, nearly 1 in 6, placing it as the top priority2. Public health officials have expressed a growing concern over the suspected relationship between the increased number of immigrants in America and an uptick in reported cases of tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea, leprosy, and a changing list of current threats such as polio, cholera, diphtheria, smallpox, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, according to the Southern Medical Association3. Also of significance is the escalating rate at which mothers are giving birth to children in the United States. Commonly referred to as anchor babies, these children are born in the United to noncitizen mothers and are subsequently granted birthright citizenship for having been born in America. Many immigrants will make the trek across a U.S. border and intentionally wait to give birth until within the borders of the United States, for the security and opportunity citizenship brings, not only to the babies, but to their families4. Each of these factors has contributed to the mounting strain that is being placed on resources and funding of the U.S. healthcare infrastructure. Many academics, community leaders, and healthcare practitioners have thoroughly investigated this topic, with several having developed a diverse list of propositions to be used in order to better equip the nation's medical facilities for this growing dilemma. Despite a lack of remarkable similarities in the approaches that were suggested, or in the varying degrees of severity to which these approaches should be prescribed, nearly all suggested that changes must occur in local, state, and federal policies concerning immigrants and U.S. healthcare.The case concerning immigration in the United is a highly contested and scrutinized issue, and has been at the forefront of many discussions at local, state, and federal governments. Currently, the rate at which immigrants successfully cross the border into the United is unlike anything seen since prior to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which decelerated much of the immigration that had been occurring at the time. The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Immigration Statistics has estimated that 12.5 million unauthorized immigrants reside in the United States 5 and an additional, 300,000 anchor babies are born on U.S. soil every (Ankarlo, 2010, p. 162)6 7. Of particular interest is the fact that the number of illegal immigrants residing in the United has been steady for more than a half a decade. According to the Pew Research Center8, the number of immigrants has remained between 11-12.5 million immigrants since 2008. The United healthcare infrastructure, which is funded primarily by U.S. taxpayers, may find it difficult to support these current trends.Every year, tens of billions of dollars are spent by the federal government to finance and effectively encourage illegal activities, which then occur within the nation's borders without consequence. ?During fiscal year 2010, nearly $29 billion? was spent to accommodate immigrants' use of the American infrastructure, according to Martin and Ruark9. …" @default.
