America 's 240 Year Old Mixture Of Diversities

Immigration is a great part of this country. Immigrants came here for freedom and liberty from their oppressed and miserable country. They come here to find a “NEW” life to live and support their family. America was basically built from immigrants. How else would we have started this beautiful country? If it wasn 't for Christopher Columbus (who was an immigrant) this wouldn 't be the great country it is today.

Immigration has always been a major part of America. In fact, without immigration the creation of America would not have been possible. The majority of immigrants came to America for religious freedom and economic opportunities. However, for the most part before the 1870’s most immigrants were Protestants from northern and western Europe. These immigrants often migrated to the United States as families and usually lived on farms with family or friends who had already migrated beforehand. A lot of immigrants came to America with a plan or goal in mind. They often had saved up money for the long immigration overseas, were skilled in a certain trade, or had already been educated at a high level. Sadly, this would not last. Immigration

Throughout American history, relationships between racial and ethnic groups have been marked by antagonism, inequality, and violence. In today’s complex and fast-paced society, historians, social theorists and anthropologists have been known to devote significant amounts of time examining and interrogating not only the interior climate of the institutions that shape human behavior and personalities, but also relations between race and culture. It is difficult to tolerate the notion; America has won its victory over racism. Even though many maintain America is a “color blind nation,” racism and racial conflict remain to be prevalent in the social fabric of American institutions. As a result, one may question if issues and challenges

Illegal Immigration has always been a problem in America and dates back to the twentieth century. It started with the banning of criminals and mentally ill who came from China. The first law was passed in 1870. It restricted residency to Asians and was only allowed to whites and African

Since the beginning, America has been a nation of immigrants. During the colonial era, people were coming across the Atlantic Ocean, and other lands, to either start a new life or to escape religious prosecutions. American history has been shaped by the ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity brought by immigrants in the 19th and 20th century. Without a doubt, immigration has had a very large cultural impact and influence in America.

Immigration has fueled the American society from the beginning of its creation. Without immigrants, there would be no America. From ones searching for religious freedom to others seeking economic prosperity, America would not be the successful country it is today without its foreign-born masses. This country has thrived on its people’s diverse contributions, and it has stimulated our economy greatly. It is the place, no matter who one is, to thrive in the acceptance of one another’s differences. Unfortunately, there are others that oppose the very thing that has made America what it is today. Despite certain disapproval, the impact immigration has on America is remarkably beneficial to the economy; this is evident when analyzing its positive effects on gross domestic product (GDP), wages and employment, and other economic contributions, which in turn has stimulated colossal economic growth for America.

Immigration has been in the United States for hundreds of years. For instance, Anderson states that “immigrants approached wild shores that were scarcely populated

The United States of America is one of the most advanced countries around the world. It is a country full of opportunities where most of its citizens have a high standard of living unlike many other countries around the world. It is a country that ensures its citizens with “the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” The qualities of this country are the leading cause for the increase in immigration. People from Mexico, Asia, Europe, South America and the rest of the world immigrate to the U. S. for reasons, such as freedom and the desire of a better life. Immigration is not a recent issue. There were thousands of immigrants coming into this country years ago. Immigration waves mostly began in the nineteenth century. However,

The United States has always been considered a country of immigrants; immigrants from all the parts of the world have come to America in search of the “American Dream.” In recent years, there has been an increase in immigration coming from Mexico. Mexican immigrants come in search of better opportunities for them and their families. Mexican immigrants come to United States because there are not opportunities of having a good job, or study. There are two types of immigration: legal and illegal. Legal immigration is mostly through the process of obtaining visas as a student or family member of a United States’ citizen or resident. Illegal

As I video blog this Journal Entry, I will share personal thoughts and feelings on American Racial Relations. This week’s modules on American Racial Relations, which include Prejudice, Racism, and Oppression, have shown to be very a powerful, and influential topic.

Immigration has been an existing occurrence ever since the first of humans and persisted as land continued being discovered. There has always been major controversy over this subject, both public and political, especially in the country of America. Immigration laws and policies are unfair because many of these people are not what citizens depict them as. When people think of immigrants their thoughts automatically connect to Mexicans, field workers, and crossing the U.S./Mexico border. What many Americans forget is that the United States was founded off of immigration, everything from America’s discovery by Europeans, to African slavery, and has followed up to current day cultural diversity. Illegal immigration should not be a real concept because most of the accusations that are connected to immigrants are not true and are based solely on stereotypes and there are further issues associated with this process of deportation than the ones that initially appear.

The United States is a nation founded by, built by, and maintained by immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Except for Native Americans, all U.S. citizens are descendants of immigrant families. Immigration continued through the years and really ramped up in the early 1900s. According to emmigration.info, from 1901-1910 8,795,386 immigrants arrived in the US. These immigrants may have faced some prejudice, but US immigration centers such as Ellis island openly accepted millions of immigrants, while turning away any legitimate threats to the United States. This system worked very well and helped boost the US economy. However, modern day immigration has had no effective solution proposed at all.

Immigration has a big history and background because it has been going on for a really long time, and in lots of countries. Immigration has been in America as early as the 19th century, and it is still around today. There are lots of good things, bad things, causes, and effects of immigration. Some people say immigrants are needed to help America’s economy and culture, but others say immigrants are pointless because they raise tax levels, threaten public safety, and take Americans’ jobs. Illegal immigration is also a factor in the debate. Illegal immigration is when someone immigrates without filling out all the necessary paperwork, and crossing the border of the country without anyone noticing. There are plenty of reasons why people immigrate. Some of them are getting certain freedoms that they

United States of America was founded on immigration. The very foundation of the current modern country was founded by a group of European settlers searching freedom from a controlling monarch. Since the 1400’s the America’s have been a destination for European explorers seeking a new place rich with resources. They have been traveling long and hard voyages to capitalize on the American continent and its promise of opportunity and riches. But in recent years the lineal descendents of the immigrants feel that they have the right to restrict the immigration abilities of others. Forgetting that they would be in a different place or be a very different person. Immigration has become a political hot topic. Immigration should not be a controversial topic due to almost all of American families descending from immigrants, America itself being founded upon immigration, and unless you are of 100% Native American descent, your family would not be in America unless they immigrated.

Immigrants built America into the country it is today. Some were fleeing persecution in their own countries. The immigrants came as free individuals, indentured servants, or slaves. Most came here to pursue a better life. America welcomed those individuals, and it has a process in place for those wishing to gain legal citizenship. The immigration issue is a hot topic in the United States today and concerns individuals who are entering the country illegally. Our representatives are proposing new laws to limit access to our country through other than legal means. There are strong feelings on each side.
