Attitudes Of Immigrants

Immigrants come to America chasing hopes and dreams of someday having a life of wealth. The United States has this imagine that everything will be better and all your problems will be solved. However, in the last century we’ve had a raise of Illegal Immigrants in the country.

One reason they come here is because they are looking for new opportunities. Many immigrants believe that coming to the United States can help them achieve wealth and provide their families with a better life. There are many stories where you will see families left there life and started a new one and have used the United State to help them achieve thing they would have never been able to achieve in their homelands. Another reason for immigrants coming here is safety, in places like Africa and the Middle East the people are not important. There are many case in Africa that have been push under the rug because it is "too much” for the government to handle.

Illegal immigrants have always been a problem for the United States. Entering the country illegally can result in deportation back to their native country. The majority of those that enter the country illegally are here to find a better future. As more and more undocumented immigrants pour into this country, stricter laws are being passed which in terms becomes a controversial issue.

Immigration has been around since the early 20th century. Right now there are more than 11 million immigrants living in the United States. They come from all over the world but a lot of people think they all come from Central America or South America. They come to the United States looking for a better life than what they had back home. Most of them either come alone or they bring their families with them. If they are closer to the border, they might even try to cross the border illegally. They come through a coyote, a guy who helps them sneak in, and they have to cross a hot dessert. Not everyone survives the trip and most of them might even get caught and get deported back to their countries. Some of them come to the United States with a visitor visa and they just over stay their visa. Most people do not want illegal immigration in the United States and actually most of them do not want immigrants even if they come legally. They say that immigrants take jobs, government money, and they are criminals. What they really don’t know is what immigrants really do to help the economy, why they even come to the United Sates in the first place, and what deportation does to immigrants and the United States.

Immigration is the movement of non-native people in order to settle in a different place or country. People move out of their country of origin for many reasons. Whether it is for a better job, better education, or simply to be with loved ones, immigrants have come to the United States with dreams of living a better life. The United States is none other than a make up of immigrants from diverse countries. Immigrants have been coming to the United States since its founding and have shaped the way this country is today. Some immigrants pursue the legal route – getting a visa in order to work for the status of a citizen while others illegally enter the country and risk being detained and deported. It is estimated there are approximately 11.7

People from all over the world come to America for many reasons; for instance, most of illegal and legal immigrant come to this country for a better life and to reunite with family that live in the

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

The United States has people coming in and out of the country every day. Most of these people are welcomed at airports and borders, and most do not intend to stay in the United States. Some of these immigrants are tourists, business visitors, students, and foreign workers. Other arrivals are refugees because they are escaping to better their future or from their countries violence and some are unauthorized or illegal foreigners. Several immigrants enter legally as tourists and then stay in the United States, but most enter the country unlawfully by eluding border patrol agents or using false documents to circumvent border inspectors. In the past, the United States was formed from many immigrants whom the Founding Fathers were descendants from and made a powerful country. Immigration is positive for the United States because there are political, economic, and multicultural benefits; therefore, immigration policy should be reformed to allow and encourage immigration.

Denice Frohman also criticizes the superstructures that suppress the Latinx community, specifically the undocumented community. Denice Frohman recites, “Ana Maria is now 16. Her father works 18-hour days as a dishwasher. Her mother cleans houses she’ll never get to live in so that Ana Maria can sit in a college classroom and say, “I am here.” But her guidance counselor tells her she can’t get financial aid or the instate tuition rate because of her status. She says it like an apology. Ana wonders if her family ever crossed the border, or if they are just stuck inside another one, aggravating it like a soul. Her guidance counselor stands in front of her with a mouth full of fences” (). Denice Frohman narrates the structural hardships that undocumented families usually face. The arduous labor that is accepted from undocumented immigrants and their families but not their full acceptance into an exclusive society. The dehumanization of immigrants who are here to work towards a better life, but work so hard and never actualize their dreams. Moving across one border to be faced with another border. A border full of limits that forgets about the humanity of those it ousts.

Immigration has become an alarming concern to the global development over the past decade. Most of the developing countries have been the center for the rising cases of the immigration in most parts of the world. It is because of the conflicts among these nations that make individuals move to other foreign states in search of peace, jobs and the hopes of having a good life (Gross 33). Nevertheless, there has been an upsurge in the campaign against the immigration in the developed countries. The continuous struggle of these immigrants’ control has increased due to the threats arising to the locals and the nations hosting them. That is why it is important to understand the economic, cultural and the social

In the essay “Our Fear of Immigrants,” Jeremy Adam Smith writes about why it is we fear immigrants. Smith divides his essay with numerous examples and comparisons, through biological, sociological and psychological explanations. As unorthodox as it sounds, our hesitation towards outsiders can be explained in various ways we never believed imaginable; in Smith’s investigation, he unveils the bewildering reality about the contrasts between ourselves, as adults, and children when it comes to immigration. He begins with a distressful story of a classroom of 4th graders from Berkeley, California, who missed their classmate named Rodrigo when he didn’t return from Christmas break, due to his parents’ expired visa. Rodrigo’s classmates thought that it was so unfair, that they complained to their congressmen. Smith then contrasts this response of empathetic children to unsympathetic adults from Berkeley, California, who protested against immigrants who seek shelter in the U.S for the families. Smith pondered the questions: “Why do immigrants provoke such strong feelings of both empathy and revulsion, a polarization that pits fourth graders in Berkeley against the citizens of Murrieta?” and “What characteristics and qualities do Rodrigo’s classmates possess

Her statement conclude that most of the act of prejudice towards homosexual has a lot more to do with the social control that surround the environment of the individual. This further proves how United States' History changed not only the culture of the country but also how other people view a group of their own countrymen. I believe that this mindset that has been developed over the years, makes people feel that they have the right to judge and determine who deserves to be treated as citizens of the United States.

The answer is people want to escape crime or poverty. Many immigrants decide to come to the United States but enter the country illegally. Immigration does not stop because more and more want to enter the country. “Last year, tens of thousands of unaccompanied children, as well as families, fled poverty and drug violence in Honduras, El

The 2016 presidential election and the now 2017 president, has struck fear in many Americans, especially immigrants; both legal and illegal. Immigration has been one of the top headlines throughout President Donald Trump’s presidency. Many immigrants feared for their lives. They did not know what to expect if Trump were to become president, but now, the fear of being kicked out of America or even being restricted from coming back to America with a green card, has increased. While we still have other issues surrounding us, immigration plays a key factor in causing mayhem in our society.

As an immigrant myself, I know the struggles, hardship, and the difficulties that come with being accepted to the United States, as well as the struggles with becoming a citizen. The many barriers and the conflict that my family and I had to endure were very exhausting. For example, the many denials, then anticipation but finding out we weren’t accepted. Dealing with the rejection was especially hard for us. However, that didn't stop us; we knew that there will always be a chance as long as we kept on trying. The wait was well worth it because I can honestly say that my life has changed for the better. Even though I was too young back then to really understand the situation, I could still realize that there was something wrong every time I
