Illegal Immigration Argumentative Analysis

Immigration has been a burning issue lately, particularly after Donald Trump’s immigration ban in the United States of America. It has been a topic that families discuss every morning with breakfast. Despite many concerns related to immigration, it has several positive benefits that mostly outweighs the negativity. People bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration. Many immigrants in the United States are good workers who don't depend upon any public welfare and mostly help in the overall development of the economy. As a country made by immigrants, we must not forget the fact that immigrants have helped to build cities and create a path of development form Google to iPhones (Gray & Furman, 2012). These facts are secluded, and some related arguments with different content have been repeated for years and continue.

Immigration is currently a hot topic, within in the United States government. Currently the United States Congress is fighting to decide the fate of the Dreamers, and the Immigration bill DACA. Like many controversial issues within the government, the Democrats and Republicans are in a disagreement on what to do. Each article, examines a different take on the current immigration reform. Bier’s main argument is that individuals who are contributing to immigration reform are ignorant, that Immigrants are not hurting the American Labor market. The next article, I examined, was written by Eric Cantor; Cantor states that although the parties each have a high stake in the decision, Congress makes on DACA, there must be a decision otherwise, the law will remain status quo. Next, we look at Gessen’s article, the main argument is that immigrants should not be looked at valuable or illegal, they should not have to be talented in order to be welcome within the United States. Lastly, Vargas, an undocumented Immigrant, discusses the difficulties of being illegal within the United States, yet still shines a light on the positive influences he had throughout his childhood and time in America.

The United States is considered a worldwide melting pot. There are many people of different origins residing within the United States. Some of these people were born here and some are immigrants. The bottom-line is all of the people within the United States, besides the Native Americans, are either immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Among the many immigrants living in the U.S., between 11.5 to 12 million of them are illegal immigrants. The presence of these people has caused a tremendous change in the United States since it has helped the economy. Some of these people have been living within the U.S. for many years and they are being marginalized. As President Bush stated: “Many undocumented workers have walked mile after mile, through

There are millions of illegal immigrants in the United States, as Markon (2016) argues that the majority are from South and Central America, Europe, and Mexico. They form a population of between 10 million to 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. One of these illegal is my father, who came to the U.S.A in 1996 to work and tried to pay the numerous debts that he got in my country; in addition, my country had a large concern where there weren’t jobs and several banks had gone broke because of the change from Sucre to the dollar. At that time, my father thought the only solution was to come to get that money. My father, there are other undocumented immigrants that came from the same situation or for other reasons to this

Since the last Presidential election, many arguments have been sparked on current immigration policy in the United States. Whether it be mayoral intervention on Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) raids, or deploying the National Guard to the US Mexico Border, immigration has been at the forefront of the latest greatest political kerfuffles. Politicians and lawmakers have argued for decades on the viability of laws and regulations protecting, as well as directing, immigration in the United States. According to the American Immigration Council, federal law only allows for 675,000 immigrants a year. Realistically, however, this is nowhere close to the number of aliens that entire the United States each year. Unfortunately, current immigration

There has been debate regarding whether it was right for the Obama administration to allow amnesty for illegal immigrants or not. Various researchers and scholars have voiced their opinion regarding this subject, with some supporting the government decision. Many, however, have opined differently and are against this decision. This treatise will carry out an argumentative analysis that will justify how the pitfalls of amnesty surpass the benefits from the same.

Immigration reform in the U.S. is at the forefront of American policy and news. In the U.S., a country effectively founded by immigrants, immigration and immigration policy are extremely politicized and dividing topics. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has been the most recent target of reform for the Trump administration. DACA was originally created as an executive order by President Obama in order to protect illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as children, were educated or are receiving education in the U.S., and work or are seeking work in the U.S.. DACA’s protection was that it delayed deportation for these individuals, commonly referred to as Dreamers. According to VOX writer Dara Lind, the program protects

The walls are caving inside one’s hiding place and all one hears is the screams of their cherished friends being brutally assaulted by law enforcement that is suppose to be our protectors, who turn out to be the devil hidden in the flesh. One could nothing, but continue to hear the screaming and pray that the terror does not find him or her. One continues to cower under fear and wait for the sun to rise again to live under fear for another day. Each day goes by with one always looking behind his or her shoulders wondering if they, immigration, are coming for them and are the people, he or she trusts, will sell them out.The thoughts of abandonment, fear, and betrayal are constantly running through the families that do not have a piece of paper,

The video, shown in class, was meant to investigate and understand both sides of the immigration argument. A legal, self-border patrolling US citizen was forced to live 30 days with a family of illegal immigrants. The man was strong in his beliefs that all illegal immigrants should be rounded up and sent back to their countries of origin. The family he was forced to live with supported the idea that illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay, and even gain some legal citizenship. This video helped spark the debate, which immigration stance is better for America?

Even though the reform should be passed there are also some things that immigrants should do to show that they are willing to do whatever it takes to be accepted in this country. The main thing they should work on is to learn the primary language of the U.S, which is English. Immigrants need to prove once again of what they are capable of. Even if immigrants are in a really good percentage of speaking English they still have to work harder. According to Julia Beckhusen one of the journalists in charge to collect information for the U.S Census Bureau,“The majority of the Mexican immigrants (close to two-thirds) do not speak English well.” This seems to be a big problem among the immigrants. Why is it good to learn the language? “English-speaking

I loved the salon (especially the tea, which totally made my day)! It was a great experience, and I enjoyed debating with people of both similar and different political opinions. It was also nice to be able to discuss the illegal immigration topic with people who are immigrants themselves, as it added a whole new perspective to the conversation. My favorite topics were probably the ones on gun control laws (in which I argued for stricter laws) and the death penalty (which I was mostly against) because I was able to face a lot of good differing opinions and debate with them, and in turn, expand my political opinions. I agreed with a lot of people's stances on topics, but there were also situations in which I was the only one at the table with

The Article Immigration Policy: Should the U.S. government take stricter measures to limit illegal immigration (February 9, 2017), focuses on whether the U.S. should adopt stricter measures for illegal immigration. Supporters believe that illegal immigrants pose a threat to national security. Undocumented immigrants are not in the system, so their criminal records are inaccessible. Additionally, supporters believe that immigrants take the jobs of Americans. Companies tend to give immigrants jobs because they will work for cheap wages. However, the opponents of the law believe stricter measures for illegal immigrants shouldn’t be done because most of the country's technological breakthroughs are due to immigrants. Opponents believe that immigrants help the economy because they take the jobs that not many workers take, such as farming or physical work. Immigration policy argument will continue until there is common ground established between everyone whether to there should be stricter measures or another way for them to become documented.

According to UNHCR a refugee agency, 65.3 million people are living in war zones. Another 5.5 billion people of all faiths face some form of religion persecution, including physical violence. People are unsafe in their own countries and homes, so they escape to other countries in search of a better chance at life. However, some of them break the rules to gain access to other countries. This results in illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is a major issue for countries around the world. According to Pew Resource, 11 million unauthorized immigrants are living in the United States.
