Arguments In Favor Of Immigration Reform

Immigration Reform is obviously a big issue in America today. I mean everywhere you go; you either see something about or read about it. There is no exact number as to how many illegal immigrants cross the border, but it is estimated to be around 11 to 12 million. This has become a major political and social issue because of the continued flow of illegal immigrants. There is nothing really around that will stop this problem. Nothing has really been done, I mean there are borders and all, but who watches the borders to stop the immigration and even so there is no one there to protect the people who are there trying to prevent it. Anything can happen to the people who are watching the borders such as being shot at and things of the nature,

“We are nation of immigrants. Some came here willingly, some unwillingly. Nonetheless, we are immigrants, or the descendants of immigrants, one, and all. Even the natives came from somewhere else, originally. All of the people who come to this country come for freedom, or for some product of that extraordinary, illusory condition. That is what we offer here—freedom and opportunity in a land of relative plenty.” (Middletown Journal 2005)

For the immigration proposal what I think about immigration and the Mexico pay for the wall I think they should let immigrants come to the United States but on some of the reasons I don’t because in the article it says an immigrant broke into a 64-year old ladys house and beat her to almost to her death but some immigrants cross to get a better education and to see a different prospective in life. In the information it was talking about how some americans were loosing there jobs due to immigration population, and that the minomon wage is going down and that today nearly 40% black teenagers are unemployed and nearly 50% of Hispanics are unemployed. In the earlier text it says that all illegal aliens in gangs should be apprehended and deported,

Mexico’s population is rising swiftly with a prediction of 135 million by the year 2051. Mexico’s agricultural output does not meet the needs of a growing populace. A majority of these families can't grow enough to feed their own families. Mexico maintains close to a steady 25% unemployment rate. But those who do work, work for very low earnings , and some families survive on money that their immigrant families send them.

These people are getting out of their countries for a reason, especially in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, where most immigrants come from. These three nations, and many more, face unparalleled magnitudes of violent crime and fatal conditions. Secondly, Mexicans do not make up most of the unauthorized immigrants coming to America, proving that Trump’s idea is biased, and only trying to fulfill his hate against this ethnicity group. A majority of Mexicans, according to a study, who have moved to the United States say they “enjoy a better life and have largely achieved their goals”. Not only this, but when migrating to the United States, Mexican immigrants are blamed for taking American jobs, but really, this can be easily disproved. Immigrants take the jobs that no one wants and most of these jobs have a salary of minimum wage, frequently require to travel a lot, and consist of harsh working conditions that a meager amount of non-immigrants desire. Immigrants are crucial to America’s economic development, especially when bringing different ideas to society that add to the success of this

There are not many people who know that there is war going on within America. A war, that is capable of impacting the future of America. Millions of “Dreamers” are fighting to be recognized as American citizens. In recent months and years, the debate on immigration reform has been heated and often uninformed. Every president mentions in his speech to take action on immigration reform. But unfortunately he ends up taking action against immigrants by deporting them. Is the country founded by immigrants has closed doors for the immigrants? People are fighting for the immigration reform. In order for the bright future of America we need to fix the present problems. A land of opportunity has taken many hits but the immigration reform made us think about our legal system. It is essential to understand that “immigration reform” is not a cup of tea. The question many are asking is that how can we accept millions of people into our labor force? We are already struggling from unemployment rate, which is peaking high. In this paper I will be primarily focusing on the role of immigrants on our economy, businesses and society, and how it impacts our society.

Furthermore, your immigration reform plan has far too many flaws and it is absurd. It is incredibly cruel to want to end birth right citizenships, require that Americans get jobs over immigrants, and enhance penalties for overstaying a visa. This country has always been a land of immigration, and suddenly deciding to deny foreigners’ rights is immoral and uncalled for. We have economic and religious freedoms, the freedom of speech, and the right of suffrage. With your reform plan, freedom will cease to exist. This is exactly the opposite of what our founding fathers would have wanted. Racism continues to be a rampant problem in America, and your proposals will only further the issues we have.

Franklin D. Roosevelt a former president previously stated "Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists..." (good reads, "Quotes about immigration"). As a result, we should know that if all immigrants are being deported back to their home countries all United States citizens should be deported back as well. The world is changing. It varies from climate change, to athletes not getting paid enough. Immigration has been seen more in bigger states specifically such as, California, Texas, Florida, and New York. Statistics say that there is greater immigration by 20% in larger states in contrast rather than in smaller states. Immigration Reform has been happening for many

Immigration is currently a hot topic within in the United States government. Currently the United States Congress is fighting to decide the fate of the Dreamers, and the Immigration bill DACA. Like many controversial issues within the government, the Democrats and Republicans are in a disagreement on what to do. Each article, examines a different take on the current immigration reform. Bier’s main argument is that individuals who are contributing to immigration reform are ignorant, that Immigrants are not hurting the American Labor market. The next article, I examined, was written by Eric Cantor; Cantor states that although the parties each have a high stake on the decision Congress makes on DACA, there must be a decision otherwise, the law will remain status quo. Next, we look at Gessen’s article, the main argument is that immigrants should not be looked at valuable or illegal, they should not have to be talented in order to be welcome within the United States. Lastly, Vargas, an undocumented Immigrant, discusses the difficulties of being illegal within the United States, yet still shines light on the positive influences he had throughout his childhood and time in America.

It appears that Senator Rob Portman is a bit more open to the idea of supporting immigration reforms in a positive way. He voted no against the bill that require hospitals to report illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment. That bill had the intention to place restrictions on those who came in and were not documented aliens. It would be possible to deny them care and have employers be held financially responsible for the patient if so. This is a big factor pertaining to businesses. While I do believe that all immigrants should be here legally, I don't think that if they are severely injured that they should be denied any type of care that could save their lives. He also voted to extend the period in which illegal aliens could stay in the

According to CNS news, 88 percent of population growth in the U.S. over the next 50 years. For that reason, immigration has become a controversial issue today. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party have had debates about it. Democratic candidates are in favor of immigration reform, while Republicans candidates are against immigration reform. Some democrats’ candidates are Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley, and Bernie Sanders.

If he does, he will have effectively been boxed in by immigration restrictionists could potentially against his own better political judgment. “But they’ve cornered him. This artificial deadline has created the moment the opposition needed to force a decision.”

One of the biggest arguments of people who are against immigration reform is that they say immigrants just come here to benefit from Temporary Assistant for Needy Families (TANF) but in reality white people and African Americans are the ethnic groups that receive more benefits. Sean R. Hogan is Associate Professor at the University of Fullerton that teaches social welfare policy. He states that 52.9 percent of African Americans use (TANF). Subsequent to African Americans is the Caucasian with 19.5 percent of people using (TANF). In reality Hispanics only use 17.2 percent – lower than African Americans and Caucasian (Hogan). This demonstrates that immigrants are here to work, to make of this country a better place, not to ask for benefits. Another

They could do the right thing now by passing a bill called the Bridge Act. It stands for Bar Removal of Individuals who Dream and Grow our Economy. Its chief sponsors are Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat, and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican. It would extend protections to the dreamers now eligible for DACA through 2020, once again buying time to negotiate a comprehensive immigration reform
