Argumentative Essay: Is Immigration A Problem?

Immigration has been an essential but disruptive aspect of the people and the political state of the United States; however, debates related to immigration and its benefits are intensified significantly. Opposing immigration keeps ranting on how government should exercise better law to control over the people entering into the States from the foreign land. One of the most buzzed argument is that American citizen is unemployed because immigrants stole their jobs and disrupted the economy (Hoban, 2017). Also, an appeal to National security and vulnerability after several terrorist attacks all over the world and also to the government to keep track and maintain the no. of immigrants to create a safer environment (Cafaro, 2009). However, the contrary to these arguments have often been proven right. The pattern of the immigration shows that the contribution of the immigrants has resulted in an economic boost that cannot be overlooked by the government.

All together law enforcement has changed, but few see the drastic changes that have happened. Everyday, police and sheriffs are working to keep the people in their community safe. With improved technological advances and social changes, police and sheriffs are keeping a closer eye on things today. For example, improved weapons such as tasers have helped keep suspects safe, computers in police cruisers allow instant access of information of individuals. Other social changes, such as women allowed to join the police forces have helped law enforcement a lot with domestic violence cases because they are calmer then most men. No matter what happens police and the sheriffs will be there to protect and serve

prohibiting new immigrants into the country. As stated on Center For Immigration Studies website, by Karen Zeigler and Steven A. Camarota, “The nation's 42.4 million immigrants (legal and illegal) in 2014 is the highest number ever in American history. The 13.3 percent of the nation's population comprised of immigrants in 2014 is the highest percentage in 94 years.” The term immigrant refers to people who move out of their home country into another country. Particularly illegal immigrants will find themselves facing tough challenges one by one like being unable to get jobs due to no identification or being judged by other people. As decades pass, discrimination

“When Mexico sends its people, they are not sending their best…They are sending people that have lots of problems…They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people” (Reilly, 2016). These words delivered by presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2015, have portrayed the Mexican immigrants as possible “threats” to the United States. However, these labels and views expressed by Donald Trump do not fully represent Mexican immigrants. Recently, the issue of immigration has become a tense, controversial issue of discussion in our nation. Various presidential administrations in recent decades have tried to “deal” with the immigration issue by enforcing strict laws to prevent migrants from entering the US, increasing border patrol, and immigration enforcement. Even our current president

Even though the reform should be passed there are also some things that immigrants should do to show that they are willing to do whatever it takes to be accepted in this country. The main thing they should work on is to learn the primary language of the U.S, which is English. Immigrants need to prove once again of what they are capable of. Even if immigrants are in a really good percentage of speaking English they still have to work harder. According to Julia Beckhusen one of the journalists in charge to collect information for the U.S Census Bureau,“The majority of the Mexican immigrants (close to two-thirds) do not speak English well.” This seems to be a big problem among the immigrants. Why is it good to learn the language? “English-speaking

Franklin D. Roosevelt, an American president, has Dutch ancestry in his life. Anybody who comes to America are from different cultural backgrounds; every family arrives in the United States to make something of themselves. Families are getting ripped apart as they are being deported back to their homeland, and leaving the life they built behind. A great deal of diverse families who travel to the United States; are deprived of their American dream because of fear of deportation. Illegal immigrants should be granted amnesty because Immigrants are taking jobs many Americans do not want, they are taken advantage of for not having legal documents, and they are not secured by fundamental living rights.

Aleppo, Syria has become one of the most violent cities with, bomb raids, shooting and all acts of terror. “Thousands of people have been killed there, including 4,500 children,” reporters at CNN state. One of those children was Omran Daqneesh. This innocent, little child has recently become a poster for the harrowing casualties in nations of unrelenting wars. Videos spreading all over social media of this small, bloody, and terrified child has caused many to stop and think. Is banning all immigrants into the United States of America truly the best idea? The innocents of Syria would say, no. The policy on Immigration in the United States has never been agreed upon. While

On December 11nth 2017, New York’s Time Square had a would-be terrorist attack when 27 year old Akayed Ullah didn’t properly detonate the homemade pipe bomb. The attempted bombing happened during the town most dreaded time, the rush hour in Times Square. The bomb did not kill anyone but he had injured himself and thankfully no other person was injured, just a few people had headaches and ringing ears. The attack was a retaliation act for the US Military aggressiveness to the Islamic state. He said it was inspired by ISIS, but he had no actual contact with anyone from the group. He made the pipe bomb by a metal pipe and explosive powder; he ignited the bomb with a Christmas light, matches, and a nine-volt battery. Thankfully the bomb didn’t do what he had wanted it to but it’s still an attempted act of terrorism.

Statistics indicate that forty million citizens, or 13% of the entire U.S. population, are foreign born. I am one of these forty million. Unfortunately, discussions about immigration have come to revolve around curtailment, rather than about immigrants themselves. Presidential candidate Donald Trump has risen to fame by painting immigrants as “murderers, thieves, and rapists.” Trump’s popularity signifies a radical shift from the time in which the words, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free... I lift my lamp beside the golden door,” were boldly inscribed onto the Statue of Liberty. Immigrants are no longer seen as people, but as a pathology. Even discussions about the benefits of immigration aren’t about immigrants themselves, but about what immigration can do for the national economy. As if an immigrant's value to society can only be measured in terms of capital.

I believe that immigrants should be let into the USA and there should be no restriction on allowing who comes in and out. However, I do believe in the safety of any citizen or person living in the United States. Because of this, I think that each immigrant should be scanned. Previously said during the discussion, immigrants really boost our economy and keep our culture young and new. “Successive waves of immigrants have kept our country demographically young, enriched our culture and added to our productive capacity as a nation, enhancing our influence in the world.” (Griswold, CATO institute) Immigrants bring new ideas and fresh minds to a hard topic. A current misconception is that immigrants take away jobs from Americans. However, the CATO

The Article Immigration Policy: Should the U.S. government take stricter measures to limit illegal immigration (February 9, 2017), focuses on whether the U.S. should adopt stricter measures for illegal immigration. Supporters believe that illegal immigrants pose a threat to national security. Undocumented immigrants are not in the system, so their criminal records are inaccessible. Additionally, supporters believe that immigrants take the jobs of Americans. Companies tend to give immigrants jobs because they will work for cheap wages. However, the opponents of the law believe stricter measures for illegal immigrants shouldn’t be done because most of the country's technological breakthroughs are due to immigrants. Opponents believe that immigrants help the economy because they take the jobs that not many workers take, such as farming or physical work. Immigration policy argument will continue until there is common ground established between everyone whether to there should be stricter measures or another way for them to become documented.

In the poem Song there are many different accounts of personification and a beautiful story being told. Gabriela Mistral wrote this poem about a woman who is heartbroken and sings along with her sorrows. Even as the day grew closer to night and everyone and everything stops singing, she continues. Mistral used personification to give the song its own life. She talks about the sing caressing a child and she also says how the night grows maternal.

In 1798, Thomas Malthus wrote an essay about population growth that reflects a pessimistic view to future economic development. This essay was a result of his discussion with positivists that tend to praise perfectibility of the man and knowledge diffusion as a source of prosperity for future generations. Malthus essay about population growth based on observing 17th and 18th century US population data.

According to UNHCR a refugee agency, 65.3 million people are living in war zones. Another 5.5 billion people of all faiths face some form of religion persecution, including physical violence. People are unsafe in their own countries and homes, so they escape to other countries in search of a better chance at life. However, some of them break the rules to gain access to other countries. This results in illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is a major issue for countries around the world. According to Pew Resource, 11 million unauthorized immigrants are living in the United States. An illegal immigrant can be defined as a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or without a visa. This phenomenon is making countries blame
