The United States of America is a country with a growing population. The population has always been growing, ever since the welcoming of new comers to the United States. Some people see these immigrants as beneficial to the American people and some see them as a threat to the Americans. Respectively, give good reasons, and some do not.To begin, I will present to you two written pieces. The first one will be by former president Bill Clinton, in how immigration benefits America. This writing piece begins with an introduction to the issue, diversity and immigration. Clinton addresses the American people by claiming, “If both citizens and immigrants do their part[s], [America] will grow even stronger in the new global information economy”. Clinton then gives some major reasons to his claim. The first one is in how the cooperation of citizens is necessary in order to be united with the immigrants and be strong. The second point Clinton wants to show how immigrants are good for America, by suggesting that they energize the American culture and renewing American values. Clinton then gives evidence in how this is true by introducing the Gibson family and counter augmenting the fact that immigrants take more than they give. Clinton then comes to another point by suggesting that union is only possible if the American citizens share the nation. Clinton then continues to show what some responsibilities of the American citizens are by reminding them of the Declaration of independence
In the article “Immigration Benefits America,” Bill Clinton; the forty second president of the United States claimed many revelations regarding immigrant’s impact in America. For several reasons, the U.S. strengthens the bonds of the community when allocating the allowance of diverse and varying cultures. Many of these immigrants feel comfortable while living in the United States. He asserted that Immigrants and Americans should blend their cultures and traditions to expand the country. As Americans, they should respect immigrants and in return immigrant should follow suit. On the other hand, in the article “Immigration Threatens American Culture,” Lawrence Auster, an American racialist conservative essayist who wrote on immigration and multiculturalism claimed that immigrants are destroying America and they are harming the economy. Auster believes that these problems are occurring because of the American belief system. The American belief system implies concepts of individualism and equality. Clinton’s argues a rather convincing argument throughout his writings, where prejudices and biases are not provided. On the other hand, Auster’s argument was very judgmental and oppressing in many ways.
Everybody knows that the United States is a nation of immigrants. Immigration to the United States first began when the first English settlers arrived at Jamestown,Virginia.
Immigration and naturalization seem to be a relentless ever present concern of the American government. The immigration of different European, Jewish, Asian, and Hispanic groups during different eras of American history have continuously raised interest in how the government should balance America’s reputation for being a welcoming place where anyone can succeed, without sacrificing the economy. One group which was especially targeted and discriminated against by the legal system throughout American history was Asian immigrants. This is evident in naturalization laws, and the results of Supreme Court cases petitioned by predominantly Chinese as well as other Asian groups such as Japanese and Hindus.
United States of America is a nation of immigrants. Therefore, our American journey and our achievements merely not be possible without the generations of immigrants who have come to our shores from every corner of the earth. And It is helpful to take a moment to mirror on the important aids by the generations of immigrants who have helped us build our economy, and made America the economic engine of the world. Because some of these Immigrants with there being here in U.S, the economy will be shaking and won’t be where it is now. Examples, of the Immigrants contributions to the American Soil are, the Immigrants help to create jobs, the Immigrants help to increase the nation’s capacity towards developing new ideas, and the Immigrants
Throught out its history, the United States has been renowned as a santuary for immigrants from all over the world. People from all walks of life have migrated to our nation’s shores in search of the autonomous “American Dream” which ıs vıewed as endless freedoms and economıc opprtunıtıes. In recent years however, the ıncreasıng number of ıllegal ımmıgrants ın our country has been somewhat alaramıng. Immıgratıon experts and scholars have come together to dıscuss the ıssue of ıllegal ımmıgrants and theır contrıbutıon to the U.S economy, whether posıtıve or negatıve. Polıtıcıans and legıslators have also come together ın recent years to see how to effectıvely deal wıth thıs ıssue of ımmıgartıon. Illegal Immıgratıon raıses concerns on the U.S ecomony and the country as a whole on wether or not Illegal Immigrants are contributing more than they cost to have them here in the states. In this reaserch paper, I will discuss how illegal immigrants contribute positively to the united states economy. I will show how they are vital to the agrculture sector, how they are great consumers and how they contribute more in taxes than withdraw in social services. Immigartion is not an economic concern but also a national security issue. Sınce the attacks on the World Trade Center ın 2001, new polıcıes have been enacted to strıctly monıtor the flow of ıllegal
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. The United States started as an immigrated country when Englishmen became the first immigrant settlers, so why can’t it still remain the same way? 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. Some believe that in legalizing immigration will increase the risks of crimes and terrorism, as well
Immigration started with Spanish settlers in the 1500’s and eventually moved on to French and English settlers in the 1600’s and so on and so forth. Nearly 1 million immigrants arrive in the United States annually. Though you may see this is as a bad thing, there are actually so many pros to immigration. One of the main pros, though, is that immigrants are taxpayers, consumers, and job creators. The United States benefits from these things in multiple ways such as getting new homes and stores.
Illegal immigration has been an important and serious issue for decades; which affects everyone, both Americans and immigrants themselves. Illegal Immigration has three main purposes: first to find a better life in the ?promise land?, second: free healthcare, and third: for criminal activity. Most illegal immigrants come to America with the best intentions for themselves and/or their families, but many others have alternative motives. The thing that must be remembered is that illegal immigration is illegal. It?s all in the name.
Immigration in the U.S. has made in big difference in the economy. Many people think they deserve to stay, but then some like Donald Trump believe they don’t deserve to stay. Most immigrants cross the border for the opportunity to work, some come in hope for a better life for their family. Only a few of the immigrants that are brave enough to take the trip actually stay in the U.S. Their jobs were often dangerous and dirty, they worked long hours, and didn’t get paid much. Almost all immigrants are not lucky enough to find good jobs, with decent pay.
Do we need immigrants? Immigrants have been helping for decades. Some people say that US would be better off without immigrants but then think about it who is going to help the US through it’s hard times. For many years the United States has tried different ways to get rid of immigrants but so far none of ways have done any major damage.Because immigrants power the US economy by taking low jobs that most people don't really want to do, they work in the fields especially in california to grow food for not only california but for the whole nation, and most foreign workers are smart so they have jobs like doctors, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, etc. Immigration is a purpose of an increasing world that helps promote movement of people,
The fact that 1.25 million immigrants enter the United State per year may frighten many Americans (Card). The fact that that number has risen 8% in the last 43 years may frighten them even more (Penn Wharton). The idea of immigrants in such large amounts may bring to mid people stealing over the border or arriving on boats and planes en mass. They may think about people stealing their jobs, homes, resources, and even their children's’ education. However, as this paper aims to show, immigrants are not a threat to Americans or their society at all. The push to immigrants to leave the country or to be regulated is not necessary nor is it true to American ideas. The United States Government should allow immigrants to continue to enter and live
On Monday March 6, President Donald Trump signed a revised executive order that bans immigration from six Muslim countries, including Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Sudan. The previous executive order also included Iraq, but was dropped due to the state’s significant role in the war on ISIS. This order also bans all refugees from coming into the United States for 120 days for the purpose of stronger security in the U.S. But, there are a few flaws in this ban, like the fact that the none of the six countries have committed a terrorist act on U.S. soil in the past 40 years (Gibbs). The ban will prove to be more unsuccessful overall than effective in strengthening the national security. Trump’s travel ban will be detrimental to the global economy because it will
“In that country, rich or poor, a man was free, it was said; he did not have to go into the army, he did not have to pay out his money to rascally officials-he might do as he pleased, and count himself as good as any other man” (Sinclair, 26). This fantasy of American freedom led thousands of immigrants to migrate from 1865-1910 so that they, too, could try their luck at the American Dream. However, these immigrants soon came to realize that the fast-changing social, political, and economic environment they had come to would hold them back rather than let them reach their full potential. Although the immigrants had the basic freedoms that all Americans had, without familiarity of the customs and language of this new society, and exploitation by those in political and economic power that wanted to
I feel you are asking two totally different questions. Either way they are fair questions. I feel many immigrants do not learn English because “they are too old to learn something new.” Or they are so comfortable speaking their original language because is easier to communicate for them. However we expect them to learn English and integrate to the Anglo society (Huntington 2004). Yet, we don’t provide the resources to do so. Many of the immigrants in the USA do not have the means to go to school to learn English. While there are multiple fee resources that provides free English classes, they are not enough or they are not advertised correctly for them to take advantage. I would suggest to provide the means to allow immigrants
With more and more immigrants finding their way into the United States, there is debates as to which it is a good or bad thing they are coming into this country. It could be considered good because it is making our country more diverse. Immigrants coming into the country could be considered bad due to the fact it’s more people to provide jobs for when already 4.2% of the United States is unemployed. Therefore, a way to make Immigrants coming into this country a good thing would be to make Culture Schools. These Culture Schools would give Immigrants the chance to teach Americans about their experiences. They will have a curriculum including food, religion, experiences, language, and everything a culture is comprised of. Culture schools would open up job opportunities for immigrants and Americans, would help immigrants escape for any situations in their home lands they wish to leave, and could give Americans a great cultural experience.
