Argumentative Essay On Immigrants And Refugees

In 2010, when Ahmad wrote his article, immigration was on the rise in the UK. Many immigrants were being accepted into the country which created a record high. Although this situation may seem to be a good thing, it can be deceiving. Due to the increase in immigration, the government had pledged to cut migration by an exponential amount. “The British, who ruled my country for decades and taught me the English that I speak, have always had the power to keep me out of their country” (Ahmad 38). At this

Immigration has been a burning issue lately, particularly after Donald Trump’s immigration ban in the United States of America. It has been a topic that families discuss every morning with breakfast. Despite many concerns related to immigration, it has several positive benefits that mostly outweighs the negativity. People bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration. Many immigrants in the United States are good workers who don't depend upon any public welfare and mostly help in the overall development of the economy. As a country made by immigrants, we must not forget the fact that immigrants have helped to build cities and create a path of development form Google to iPhones (Gray & Furman, 2012). These facts are secluded, and some related arguments with different content have been repeated for years and continue. Immigrants have a lot to give the United States rather than to take, especially when it comes to economic terms.

Immigration is a kind of movement of people into destination land, which can be traced back to a million years ago. Also, the debate over whether immigrants should be given more rights has been an intractable problem for a long period. According to statistics from Wikipedia, as for 2005, the United Nations reported that there were nearly 191 million international immigrants worldwide, about three percent of the world 's population (Immigration). Although it does not seem to take up a large proportion, actually the amount of the immigrant population is particularly huge. In this way, policies on immigration are considered remarkably significant. Moreover, recently the attacks in European countries have also poured fuel on the already-heated debate over immigration policy. In most cases, local citizens and governments do not welcome immigrants into their own country, which is partly due to the discrimination. Obviously, it is unfair to them. Immigrants should be treated equally and given more rights than the rights they possess now because they contribute to boosting economy, creating a harmonious society and they are legal immigrants.

Many refugees have a hard time adjusting to their new culture because they are not accepted by their peers and community. First of all, in the article “Children of War”, the author states, “Sometimes I wished I’d stayed there, watching the war, rather than being here, safe, but without

Since the last Presidential election, many arguments have been sparked on current immigration policy in the United States. Whether it be mayoral intervention on Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) raids, or deploying the National Guard to the US Mexico Border, immigration has been at the forefront of the latest greatest political kerfuffles. Politicians and lawmakers have argued for decades on the viability of laws and regulations protecting, as well as directing, immigration in the United States. According to the American Immigration Council, federal law only allows for 675,000 immigrants a year. Realistically, however, this is nowhere close to the number of aliens that entire the United States each year. Unfortunately, current immigration

Although President Trump's comments offer an anti-immigrant view based on fear of a Cold War anomaly and lack of better quality immigrant selection, history, and economic statistics support the idea that legal immigration has, and continues to be, vital to the development and prosperity of the United States.

The issue of Immigration is a controversial debate that is currently being argued between many Americans regarding undocumented immigrant rights. This issue is significant because Americans and undocumented immigrants living in the United States face a problem everyday which is violence. Undocumented immigrants have and deserve rights including the rights to work. They are not being treated with the equality and freedom that America promises therefore undocumented workers should be allowed to work unmolested.

Immigration has always had an impact von my life. My parents immigrated here from Haiti in ‘90s, fleeing the country due to violence during the uprising to overthrow former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Although, now my parents are legal in the country at a certain time they weren’t and they worked very hard to provide the best they could for my siblings and me. The refugees that are referred to in the article are fleeing the violent extremism in the Middle Eastern countries and some other countries. In David Miliband article, “Donald Trump’s Un-American Policy,” Miliband expresses how Un-American President Trump’s new policy to ban immigration from Syria indefinitely, this policy is a repudiation off the fundamentals of American values. Miliband discusses the United States role in the world as a solitude and refuge for immigrants in political uproar. Miliband’s argument is based on the ethical manners of the policy, creating an ethos effect. Miliband discusses why the policy is not a rational decision.

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.

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

Most people who complain about immigration only view things from their own perspective. The complaints about immigrants taking over most of the jobs are in my opinion overrated. Most of the jobs that are taken by immigrants consist of housecleaning, babysitting, cooking etc. Some argue that employees will hire immigrants to do these type of jobs because when comes to wages, they are able to underpay, where as someone legal might not stoop so low to get paid so little for these types of services. Others argue that immigrants do not mind doing these types of jobs, because these types of jobs will always be available. Whatever the reason may be, the ironic thing is that the same people with the negative opinions about immigrants in the United

The United States of America is known as a nation of immigrants and was built upon people of a variety of nationalities. For centuries, we have welcomed generations of immigrants into America such as British-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Mexican-Americans, etc. Currently, in our modern times, immigration has been a very divisive issue. In 2012, the Obama Administration created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, to give young undocumented immigrants, or Dreamers, a temporary endowment of protection from deportation and a permit to work legally in the US. This has given over 800,000 people relief and has provided hope. While some might argue that the implementation of DACA went against the constitutional principles of separation of powers and the president's duty to execute the laws faithfully, Trump’s decision to repeal DACA violates the 14th amendment of the Constitution as well as the concepts of citizenship where the Constitution defines that everyone is protected whoever lives in the United States.

In the beginning, thirteen colonies united to overcome the British imperial authority; thus, America was founded in 1776. Amerigen, a name created by a young Alsatian proofreader named Matthias Ringmann in the early fifteen century, means no-place-land, the new-land, or the land of Amerigo in Greek, according to Toby Lester. The land of Amerigo was a place where the European civilization could go to be reborn, as many Renaissance observers had begun to hope. Whichever the meaning, the name America filled a need. Ringmann deliberately invested the name America with ideas that still resonate today and still provide important parts of the national

Recent elections in the United States and Great Britain have identified certain vulnerabilities in the promotion of the free movement of people within and between their respective borders. The vulnerabilities for both countries seem to be rooted in fear within their respective populations and a lack of cohesive national immigration policy from their respective governments. When the bellwethers for free societies do not react appropriately to immigration and free trade challenges, the result will be to stifle movements for multicultural societies and cross-cultural experiences everywhere.

Asylum seekers in Australia always been the focal point of negative political concern for a long time. To stop asylum seekers continue arriving in Australia by boat, Australia enforces the policy of obligatory detention of asylum seekers, unauthorised asylum seekers arriving by boat will be sent to Papua New Guinea camp where operated by the Australian government (‘Asylum seekers: Australia’s shame’ 2017). However, this policy was reported as disgraceful because of the deficient living condition, indefinite and arbitrary of detention and lack of health care (United Nations 2017). Cohen (2011 p. 242) stated that moral panic could be more likely to develop in anything associated with 'immigration, migrants, multicultural absorption, refugees, border controls and asylum seekers’. Is Australia's response to asylum seekers an example of moral panic? By analysing the five criteria from the moral panic theory by looking at the Australian public reaction to asylum seekers with references support, it could be found that the reaction to asylum seekers in Australia is an example of moral panic.
