Essay On Middle Eastern Immigration

People come to america, expecting somewhere they can better their lives, but in current circumstances, America is not a land of opportunity for immigrants, and women. There is the fact that It is difficult to have a good life in America for immigrants, Women in America don't have as much opportunity as women in other countries, and Immigrants don't have as much opportunity with job and economics as they should.

Immigration has existed around the world for centuries, decades, and included hundreds of cultures. Tired of poverty, a lack of opportunities, unequal treatment, political corruption, and lacking any choice, many decided to emigrate from their country of birth to seek new opportunities and a new and better life in another country, to settle a future for their families, to work hard and earn a place in life. As the nation of the opportunities, land of the dreams, and because of its foundation of a better, more equal world for all, the United States of America has been a point of hope for many of those people. A lot of nationals around the world have ended their research for a place to call home in the United States of America. By analyzing

Although events such as San Bernardino in 2015 provide anecdotal evidence of immigrants committing acts of extreme violence, these events are extremely rare. Nonetheless, tragedies such as these inevitably grab headlines and capture the attention of millions of Americans across the country. Tragedies such as the attack in San Bernardino hold strong emotional appeal to proponents for restrictive immigration policy. However, these rare and uncontrollable events should not provide the base of logic for America’s national immigration policy as they are not a proxy for immigrant behavior as a whole. Various statistics regarding crime among immigrants may reveal an underlying reason for lower crime rates, which is that the majority of immigrants understand the implications of committing a crime and know that it would not be in their best interest as a new member of the country they wish to call home. Natives, moreover, have crime rates five times that of immigrants. This demonstrates the potential positive externalities that immigrants contribute to the social sphere by lowering the crime rate and acting as models within urban America.

During the mass immigration era of America, an abundant number of people traveled to the urban industrial society of the United States in aspiration to seek job opportunities and better lives than the ones they left behind. These groups included the Poles, Italians, Chinese, Mexicans, Japanese, East European Jews, and the African- Americans. However, one of these groups mentioned was distinctly different from the rest: the African-Americans. They were already American citizens, who migrated to the northern American cities to free themselves from segregation, oppression, and harsh conditions they experienced in the South and obtain equal rights and opportunities. Although the African-Americans'

Comparable to the discord surrounding gun laws and regulation, the opposite sides of the political spectrum come to a disagreement of what it means to be safe and free. To generalize, the vastly conservative movement theorizes that allowing large waves of primarily Middle Eastern immigrants into the country would risk the security of the nation. Conversely, liberal Americans place the potential freedoms that immigrants could have in America above the possible repercussions in regards to safety. Radical conservatives speculate that a halt of the flow of Middle Eastern immigrants would improve the security of the nation. They overwhelmingly stereotype those with Middle Eastern ethnicities or those who follow the Islamic faith as people who will invoke violence and terror. The freedom to religion protected under the First Amendment right is seemingly inferior to the desire to feel secure. On the other hand, the liberal movement desires to help those living in war torn areas to get to more secure places. They generally place the potential risk of violence in the back of their minds when considering the flow of immigrants into the nation.

As said in our book the United States became a transcontinental nations between the years of 1845 and 1848, increasing the size of the Americas by 50 percent. How was this done? Through things like annexation, negotiation and wars the U.S gained more than one million square miles. With the new territory up to the Mississippi River claimed and settled and the Louisiana Purchase explored, Americans everywhere headed west to explore this new land of opportunities. This Western migration and settlement, coined "manifest destiny" in 1845 by a newspaper editor to describe the essence of this mindset, played a major role in this rapid expansion of the United States in 1845 to 1848. During these years of this extraordinary growth we would see farm

Most Americans place their pride in being apart of a country where a man can start at the bottom and work his way to the top. We also stress the fact that we are “all created equal” with “certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” (Jefferson 45) During the early 1900s white Americans picked and chose who they saw fit to live in America and become an American. “Those that separate the desirable from the undesirable citizen or neighbor are individual rather than race.”

It is proven that immigrants are far more afraid and less likely to as well participate in any crime involved activities, quit their jobs, shoplift, hurt others in any way, shape or form, or do something that could get them arrested. It’s the sense of fear they have for getting deported, but it may also be that good spirit in which they truly came here to start a better life with no problems. Many comparisons between cities, communities and counties are done by economists to differentiate the links of local concentration of immigrants and the rates of crime and violence in that specified area. Results showed that the higher number concentration of immigrants, the lower crime rate. There is no proven connection found between immigrants and higher crime

Immigration has consistently been linked to crime as more and more immigrants move to the United States. As of 2013, 13% of the United States population was compromised of immigrants and by 2050, the immigrant population is expected to grow to 19% (Bersani, 2014). The influx of immigrants has been one of the most controversial topics throughout the nation and there is strong public and political belief that immigrants are inherently crime prone and are dangerous to public safety. However, research has consistently shown that foreign-born individuals are less involved in crime than native-born Americans are (Bersani, 2014; Bui & Thongniramol, 2005; Harker, 2001; Warner, Fishbein, & Krebs, 2010; Dipietro & McGloin, 2012). Assimilation

New Year’s, Istanbul. 39 dead. Suspect yet to be found. Devastating headlines like these have become common in the years following September 11, 2001, and in the wake of the war on terrorism, there has emerged a less vocal war; the war on immigrants. So in a time and age where terrorism is not something unknown but rather sadly familiar, we must ask ourselves to what extent fear from terrorists attacks impact the American Society’s views towards immigrants. Terrorist attacks have deeply resonated in the minds and hearts of many Americans, leading them to develop unfair and irrational views towards immigrants, the scapegoats of all the pain and anger attacks have caused. Through a social perspective, it can be seen that through xenophobia, racism, stereotypes, prejudice and the theory of a folk devil, Americans denounce those not similar to them.

In the United States, when “illegal immigrants” are mentioned, the first thing that would come to most people’s mind is the word “Hispanic”, due to Mexico and the United States’ geographic proximity. However, in spite of the country often being referred to as a “melting pot”, few Americans ever think of where the rest of the people in the States originally came from. For this particular reason, this paper will be contributing to the understanding of immigration to the United States, specifically of illegal immigrants, mainly from the Fujian province in China.

Middle-Eastern immigration is a nationwide cultural issue that requires addressing. Immigration is becoming increasingly difficult for the Arab people due to the label of "terrorist”. The discrimination and negativity towards Arabs is limiting their access to the liberty and justice this country offers all individuals.

Immigration is a touchy subject. Immigration is divided into many different categories; there is family based immigration, Employment based immigration, Refugees and asylees, their is also A diversity visa program and other forms of humidity relief. The main categories being family based, employment based, and refugees and asylees. The U.S immigration law is very complex and confusing, but is much needed, which will be explained, detailed in this paper.

I am the first immigrant generation in my family, who recently moved from the Middle East, Jordan. I moved to the U.S two years ago; however, this is not my desire or will. In reality, people fight and do whatever it needs to get to the U.S, but I am not one of them, and I will never be one of them. I was forced to come here by my parents even when they knew that coming here is not my wish.

Many immigrants come to the United States in search of the opportunity to have a better life. They have the willingness to work, seek out educational opportunities and to be productive members and contributors to society. Rarely do you find those instances where immigrants come here to take, destroy all that our nation has built and established. When you hear the current administration in the media use fear, as part of cultural destructiveness to destroy how our society view other cultures and diminish the worth of individuals within their own Netting, Kettner, McMurtry, Thomas, (pg. 64, 2012). By doing that the narrative around immigrants’ changes, people start to believe that immigrants are here committing crimes and a higher rate in comparison to Americans that are born here; For instance, during one of Donald’s Trump 2016 campaign speeches he said “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re
