Conservative Opinion On Immigration

In today’s American society, there are few issues more divisive in politics than immigration. It’s an issue that’s argued in nearly every debate, with Republicans and Democrats with their own views and thoughts on the matter. The issue goes as far as dividing homes, young liberals arguing with their conservative parents on who is correct.

There are few topics in America today that are more hotly debated than immigration. Because of our nation’s economy and current leadership, immigration seems to be a much more sensitive topic in today’s society than ever before. From the time our country was founded, people have immigrated to America for a better life. In an effort to escape religious persecution, war, or just to have better opportunities for their family, immigrants have tried to make their homes within the borders of the United States. Illegal immigration has reached epic proportion and everyone can agree that a solution is long overdue. Although many states

Immigration is an issue that is rarely openly talked about due to its controversy. More recently republican nominee Donald Trump made immigration the main conversation at every dinner table by his proposal to build a wall on our Southern border shared with Mexico. Most republicans agree that illegal immigration has become an issue in the United States and a plan needs to be formed to make immigration simpler while protecting those who are already citizens of the United States by not letting criminals and other potentially harmful people in. Democrats agree that immigration needs to become more easily accomplished. However, Democrats will argue that any roadblock to immigration is unconstitutional and that open borders

The topic of Mexican immigration recently made headlines again when republican presidential candidate Donald Trump released a 3 page statement detailing his blunt beliefs on Mexican immigrants. Trump’s blunt statements against Mexican immigration have led many to join the discussion of Mexican immigration. The views on the issue vary, some believe that Mexicans are the route to all of America’s unemployment trouble while others believe Mexican’s simply take jobs American’s refuse to take. Either way, there are nearly twenty four million people of Mexican decent living in the United States that have started their own communities which contribute to American society. Many American’s however, refuse to accept this and are still prosecuting Mexican’s. This can be seen in the media, public schools, and in the work place.

Although the issue of immigration policy has been at the center of political debates, largely discussed in the media and newspapers, no one has yet found a solution to this ill-defined problem, that would comply with the America’s core values. While I think the immigration policy does need a reform, the solution to this problem certainly is not a deportation of all undocumented residents.

Imagine you’re on a big crowded ship that’s swinging back and forth, seeking for a better life, for protecting on U.S. You are considered as an immigrant. In the 19th and 20th centuries, many people around the world started immigrating to U.S for a new life. The time period of industrialization of the 1800s caused economic growth, and social changes in U.S. Immigrants provided an unskilled workforce fueling prejudice among the American citizens. Industries grew a big gap between the rich and poor. Many started to wonder whether the immigration policy should be open or restricted. Some say that the immigration policy should be restricted because it makes U.S over populated and creates job problems. Other say that there should be

After listening to and reading about the Republican Party’s stance on immigration, people learn a particular perspective of immigration. They learn the opinions of a certain group that believes that immigration, especially unauthorized immigration is a burden to the United States. It issue leads people to understand that issues such as this, will not always have a solution. Immigration has always been a problems, and the act of unauthorized individuals entering the U.S. has always been a disturbance to some people. The Republican Party has a strong stance on immigration, and they are not afraid to articulate when they are oppose something. Republicans are more conservative and people learn about this through the speeches given by Donald Trump

Immigration is a big issue today. I.C.E , homeland security, just recently swept around the south west Kansas area. People are getting deported every day in the USA. Immigrants go to the United States to look for good paying jobs to feed the very own mouths of their family. Donald trump, a business leader is fighting the war against immigrants. He does not want them in the USA because supposedly they bring diseases and drugs. He says that's immigrants are taking all the jobs in the USA. Immigrants don't bring any of that stuff in the United States. Immigrants chose to come for various reasons, such as to live in freedom, to practice their religion freely, to escape poverty or oppression, and to make better lives for themselves and their children.

Americans, in the late 1800s and beginning of the 1900s, had a diversity of views about immigration and the immigrants. The United States of America, a nation of immigrants, had been welcoming to immigration in the 1800-1900’s. Thomas Page, a professor of the University of Virginia said, “Until the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the attitude of the press and of the public men in the United States was with few exceptions strongly favorable to immigration. ” In America the cultures of these foreigners were usually not accepted by many Americans, “It was commonly believed that agriculture, industry, and the general development of the country were promoted by their arrival,” said Thomas Page. Almost all of the Americans views on the matter changed during the 1900’s. Thoughts of the economy came to show the growing skepticism of Americans’ viewpoint on immigration and immigrants. Although the thoughts on the economy by Americans were not mutual on the problems of immigration or what the solution should be, there was shared agreement that immigration was a large problem. American thinkers on the economy were adverse to unregulated immigration and supported the idea of additional government rules, laws, and regulations on the matter ("America's Best History U.S. Timeline, The 1890's").

Among the presidential candidates for the year 2016, Republican representative Donald Trump seems to have the most ridiculous and controversial campaign ideas. One of his more known campaign ideas has to do with banning Muslims from the United States. He generalized that all Muslims currently, or plan to act as, terrorists who will launch attacks on US soil. Building a wall on the border between US and Mexico is another well known idea of his, especially because he wants Mexico has to pay the cost for the wall’s construction. Even though politicians may paint immigration in a negative light, the United States relies on immigrants to help its economy, so it should not opt to throw them out of the country.

Though on the right side, some conservatives believe in highly securing our borders more, while other conservatives believe we should close off our borders completely. A CNN contributor says, “Pro-border security conservatives confuse "securing" the border with "sealing" the border… There is a big difference between securing and sealing. The former is feasible; the second is a fantasy” (Navarrette). This is a true thought, but conservatives have their opinions about why the border security should be so tight. For one, conservatives believe in legal immigration. They are all for supporting people that take their time and fill out the necessary paperwork to become an American citizen. In other words, they don’t like freeloaders; the fact that

Policies are pivotal implementations put in place by the government on local, state, and federal levels. There are endless amounts of policies enacted by the American government, with many of these policies directly influencing the lives of citizens. As the 2016 Presidential Election draws near, understanding the policies projected by each presidential candidate is essential to making an educated decision when it comes to voting for the future condition of the United States. The two primary candidates for the upcoming election, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton propose policies and plans that are in opposition to one another. One of the policies that is receiving a great deal of attention in the media right now is the issue of immigration. This issue poses a difficult question regarding how to address the presence of illegal immigrants in the United States. On one hand, immigration supports the rights of immigrants, but on the other hand, this policy limits opportunities for Americans. Due to my lack of knowledge in the area of immigration, I have decided to further investigate this issue in order to understand how Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton plan to address immigration if they are elected to office. Each candidate has plentiful ideas regarding immigration that will result in a number of benefits and/or consequences for both Americans and immigrants. Besides solely looking at the positions held by the

Why does the issue of immigration divide American opinions when the United States is a country built by immigrants? The online encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org defines immigration to the United States as "the permanent movement of foreigners to the United States." This online encyclopedia also states that immigration to the United States has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout American history." In order to establish an objective and well thought out the viewpoint on this very sensitive subject, I thought it would be best to discuss as many different viewpoints as possible. However, my research indicates that seems like everyone in the United States and abroad has his or her own stance. So I will

In today's world, the president of the United States holds the most important position with significant political power in other parts of the world. The president's job description expands further than the United States; he or she holds significant influence in the world. Furthermore, the position allows the president to shape foreign policy, which can affect global decisions such as immigration. For many decades, immigrants from around the world have come to help build America. For example, statistics show how working immigrants have increased the GDP as a result of their employment in the states. Nevertheless, immigrants have not always been welcomed to the country for several reasons such controversy has caused divide among Americans. Those who support banning immigrants cite social and economic drawbacks to the nation. While those who are in favor of immigration applaud their contribution to the nation's economy. Although immigration has some disadvantages, the United States benefits significantly from immigration and it needs control to foster these benefits.

Immigration is a controversial topic that has impacted our society for decades perplexed by policies media coverage, perceptions based on one’s own lack of knowledge, personal experiences and a host of other factors that influence how our society views immigrants and immigration policies. The United States is a diverse population of people and filled with experiences that come from various walks of life that contribute to enhancing our social culture, economic development, and cultural acceptance.
