Benefits Of Immigration To The United States

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.

The United States is a country that was built on immigration. The first settlers, Native Americans, represent less than 2% of the total population; the remaining 98% of the population are immigrants or decedents of immigrants. Today, the US still has the highest immigration rate in the world with 757,434 naturalizations in the 2012 fiscal year only (US Naturalizations 2012, Department of Homeland security). People try to immigrate to the United States for many reasons. Some people immigrate because they have been granted a refugee status or asylum and other people immigrate to fulfill their dreams. Immigration has an effect on the American society and economy. The US cannot survive without immigrants.

values, talents, and contributions of immigrants. People from all over the world seek the United States for just one honest reason, a better life and future. Most of the immigrant families and their children come from Mexico, Central and South America, and even Asia. These people enter the United States via one of three modes of entry, legal immigration, illegal entry, and as refugees. Because of their legal status, many immigrants are illegible to receive any type of public services such as healthcare and public education. This is something that has been going on for years, and many Americans feel that it is a fair thing to do. By actually providing illegal immigrants to have access to public services the United States could benefit a lot from it, starting with a healthier and safer environment, also, having access to public education will help the economy in the long run, and lastly, after obtaining a college degree, it is extremely possible for them to get a good paying job.

Ever since 2001, when the tragedy of September 11th happened, many citizens in the U.S. have a fear of allowing immigrants into the United States. Some citizens judge that immigration is an impending threat to national security, and that the U.S. should close the borders up for good. The U.S. should not consider that because everything negative that occurs in the U.S. is not due to immigrants. The government can stop illegal immigration right now, but would it not affect the U.S. more to do so? Restrictionists claim that large-scale immigration, legal and illegal has depressed wages, burdened government resources, and acted as a net drain on the economy. However, if immigration is stopped completely the reduction of workers would cause the inflation of money to decrease therefore, causing the economy to plunge downward. People come to the U.S. to escape persecution from their country, work and make a living. Third world immigration is not a threat to America’s way of life because immigrants work, immigrants participate, and immigration already responds reasonably well to America 's economy. Thus, if immigration is eliminated, the U.S. would have fewer workers and the economy would not flow smoothly because the immigrant workers make the jobs and economy better. America should allow immigrants because they are essential to the growth of the American economy.

The increasing fear of crime and terrorism in the world is persuading many Americans that the country should close its door. But what about the fact that this country itself was founded by the immigrants? American journey of success would have not been possible without the generations of immigrants who have come to its shores from every corner of the world. I believe immigrants are a positive influence on America because they strengthen the country’s economy, allow people of America to learn about different cultures, languages and ideas, and shapes how the world views America.

Being an immigrant in the United States is hard. People come here to work and bring their children, because there’s more opportunities here and the country is known for being a free land. But they are being sent back to a place where they don’t get the same things as they do here.Immigrants are also a big part of the U.S because most are in the fields,construction,landscaping, and all these jobs that are hard.

Immigration has been a major issue of the U.S. political debate for decades, as policymakers must weigh competing economic, security, and humanitarian concerns. It has both it`s ups and downs, but immigration does play a positive role in the country. Immigrants benefit to the country by reinforcing the economy, creating jobs, and allowing the country to open up to different cultures and ideas.

I’m an immigrant, I moved to this country three years ago, as many legal and illegal immigrants I believe that we help the economy of this country. There are many immigrants in America and they come from all over the world. By no means I want to assume that they have all had my experiences. In my case I’m here on the pursuit of new opportunities, in my mind, or in the way I was raised by my parents, and how am I supposed to achieve my goals is exactly the way they work every day to support our household, is a discontented mind, it is a hard working mind, a mind that always thinks it has to work harder, acquire more knowledge. This is a generalization; they are plenty of exemptions after all it is good to be hard working, it is good to want a better education for your children and to want a better way of living, everyone has the right to pursuit their dreams. I will focus on how immigration helps United States as compared to the mostly held view that it hurts America.

universities, were associated with an additional 262 jobs for native-born workers” (“Value Added”). Apart from high-skill jobs, immigrants also develop low-skill labor for American workers without a high school diploma or college degree.

Undocumented immigrant laborers inflate the supply of labor for both high and low-skilled American workers.

For many centuries, America has been known as the land of opportunity; the opportunity to make a better life for yourself and for your family. Over time, it seems as America has lost the value of being the land of opportunity due to the strict rules of allowing immigrants in our country.

Immigrants come to America to receive a better life that their country could not give them. The controversy of legalizing immigration has increased over time, and still continues to this day.

For many years, the United States have been the biggest nation that was built for many people from other countries on immigration. For many people from other countries come here with both legally or illegally and it has never been a major concern until now in their life. But in fact, the illegal immigration is the migration of many people across national borders of the United States will accept as an immigrant and the desire of some foreign nationals to live and work in this country. Most of the people from other countries around the world are poor and uneducated.

Imagine that you lost everything that mattered to you, your family, your friends and even your home and someone told you that you had a chance to start over. How would you feel? Would you take the opportunity? Believe it or not this is happening to people over in the Middle East and Africa. Which is why America should let these people in our country, to give them a fresh start, some people might argue that these people could be a part of ISIS but these people seem to be forgetting that these people are here because of ISIS and why would they jeopardize the chance of having a fresh start. For years people have been argue whether or not to let refugees into our country, there are legit arguments for both sides, which is why it is one of the most debated topics in America. I believe that America should let refugees into the country because they boost our economy, the US has an extremely extensive process for letting people into their country and it can save hundreds of lives.
