Immigrantion: Immigration To The United States

Immigration is an issue that many people see as small and insignificant. Many believe that it doesn’t concern or affect them in any shape or form. Truth is, it doesn’t matter if you're African American, Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, or another race, immigration is an issue that affects everyone. Immigration affects the economy, the workforce, families, and the individual’s themselves whose main goal and dream is the “American Dream” that they come to the US looking for.

Think about life now and then let me tell you about it back then. Immigration is the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. Immigration was a negative experience for people coming to America.

Immigration has occurred in the U.S. for for many years. Some say it’s the foundation of our country. America is the country where people leave their own country to live. People would leave due to mistreatment, hunger issues or job opportunities. America is known for starting over or accomplishing dreams, so immigrants travel over to follow those dreams. People emigrate from one country to another for a variety of complex reasons. Some are forced to move, due to conflict or to escape persecution and prejudices, while others may voluntarily emigrate. Although such a move may be necessary, it can be quite traumatic on top of the challenges experienced so far.Everyone should have this option to have better life than they once had and no should be told that they can’t live in America because of what others has done.

Today, the United States of America may also called as immigrant country. The country of many different immigrants around the world who gathered with hopes and dreams. There were two differences groups of immigrants that came to the United States, in the early years. One as referring to "Old" immigrant and another as “New" immigrant (Delorezo). The old immigrants were coming from western and northern Europe and England and English territories during the time of colonial period. English, Scotch, Irish, Dutch, German, Swedish, and Scandinavians were considered as the first immigrants (Delorenzo). The new immigrants were settled in the United State in the period of intense industrial development knows as the gilded age or progressive era. These

Immigration in the United States has been a big problem for a long time. Immigrates come from all over the world. Some of them are legally here and some are not. Immigrates take jobs away from the citizens of the united states. They work for less money and most time, work harder and longer days. This is one of the causes for unemployment to be at an all-time high. “Over 8 million Americans were officially unemployed in July, with more than 2 million classified as long-term unemployed,” as Jan C. Ting reports. With the influx of immigrates, they taxed many of our resources. These resources are as simple as having enough water, food or houseing. Medical help is also being used at the cost of the citizens of the united states. Some say,

Around 1790 and 1820 the United States population doubled more than 10 million people. Fewer than 250,000 people entered the United States. Immigration began to increase soon after the time the Napoleon's last defeat. Competing shippers which needed payloads in the westbound. Frequently transatlantic low enough fares. Which could make imigrashon affordable. Immigrants soon were interested in what was the prospect of a more bigger and better land. Which included higher wages which they saw as a never ending economic opportunities. Europe looked like they were soon going to run out of room. So a lot of immigrants were migrating to America because of how it looked like Europe soon would be full of immigrants. Many of people were taken from

Immigration has emerged as a hot topic of concern over the last couple of decades but in reality the problem of immigration goes far beyond the realms of recent decades. With President Trump’s intentions to build a wall to stop Mexicans from entering U.S. to the proposed ban of 7 nations, immigration has never been a more prevalent problem. The recent years however have given birth to a form of immigration that was not considered to be dominant before, refugees and displaced people are viewed differently from people who colonized various parts of the world in the early 17th, 18th and 19th century. Today when one thinks of immigrants, Middle Eastern, Indians and Africans spring mind but British and French people never do. Why is that so?

Imagine if the native people living in the US would have rejected and deported the emigrants and the pilgrims who came to the US. How many dreams would have been extinguished? How many people, including the children would have lost their hopes for a better future?

There has been talk on the national news stations about Immigration. With the Presidential election coming up in 2016, all the candidates have voiced their opinions concerning Immigration. Immigration is now new to the United States. In the early 1900’s more than 100,000 Mexicans crossed the border into California. As far back as the 1800 hundreds immigrations came to the United States through New York and San Francisco. The United States is called the “melting pot” because so many people came to American and melted into the culture. The government dealt with immigration by at first, welcoming all who wanted to enter Gradually, laws were written and approved by the President of the time, to limit the number of people entering the United States.

Camarota (2007, p.1), director of the Immigration Studies Center, reports there are 1.6 million documented and undocumented migrants take up residence in the United States every year. Camarota goes on to say that the immigrants occupy one-eighth of the total population who settled in the U.S. The flood of aliens, to a significant degree, hinders the development of the United States. Therefore, the issues which relate to immigration must not be neglected, and the government should keep the number of migrants from increasing since immigration reduces the work opportunity for citizens, increases the cost for the government, and leads to rising crime rates in the United States.

Immigration happens everywhere around the world but people like to come to the U.S. because they hear about the American dream. Citizens of certain developed countries deemed politically and economically stable by the U.S. government are allowed to visit up to 90 days without obtaining a visa (What is Immigration Law). Immigration is an important factor in the development of all countries as long as it is legal. Here in the United States, immigration provides for economic, social, and political growth.

Day in and day out, immigrants work hard to achieve permanent residency or citizenship in the U.S. and live in constant fear. While some Americans understand the importance of immigration and believe immigration strengthens the American society, others are taking it to social media to express their humor or anti-immigration feelings. A few are even going to the extent of approaching certain people of immigrant groups and attacking immigrant groups with foul language and violence. One such incident occurred just a few months ago in February. Adam W. Purinton, a white Kansas resident, was kicked out of a bar because he was questioning two Indian bar patrons’ immigration status and throwing racial slurs at them. Angry Purinton went back to the bar with a handgun that same night and shot the two Indians killing one and wounding the other. Later in court, it was said that Purinton shot them “because of their actual and perceived race, color, religion and national origin.” Not even two weeks later, an Indian-born man was outside his house in Seattle when an attacker shouted “Go back to your own country” before shooting him in the arm. Incidents like these are leaving many Indian immigrants worried for themselves and their families. As an Indian-born immigrant myself, I feel the need to address the importance of Indian immigration, the basic immigration process, and some underlying struggles the immigrants face.

1. A migrant is someone who leaves his or her country and moves to another. It is common for migrants to leave for better economic opportunity elsewhere. According to the 1951 UN convention a refugee is a person who “owing to a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, and membership of a particular social group or political opinion.” Many countries around the world limit the number of refugees that are admitted using refugee quotas. Another way refugees have been limited is the refugee act of 1980, which prioritized people coming from communist countries. There have been several attempts to limit migrants entering the United States. One example is the Immigration reform and control act of 1986, which increased border patrol, made employers know the immigration status of employees and made it illegal to hire undocumented workers. Some people may be fleeing their country due to persecution, but still may not be considered refugees. An example of this is Salvadorians fleeing their country because of their civil war. Instead of being admitted as refugees they were given deferred enforced departure and temporary protected status as a result of the immigration act of 1990. The Patriot act in 2001 involved even

Immigration is the international integration of people into a country of which they are not natives or where they don’t have citizenship in order to resign, live, or work there. This particular situation is causing chaos to the natives of the United States because they are taking the jobs and the money U.S. citizens should have. Therefore the three branches of government are all involved in the political discussion of the chaos of immigrants coming to the U.S.

Immigration has always been an issue in America but after president Trump step into office it has been a greater issue. Trump states that immigrants come to danger america with violence and drugs but in reality (it's likely true)they come for a better opportunity and live the American dream.  It is likely true that most immigrant do their taxes like any other American but get no benefits. It is likely true that immigrants do the work that most Americans don't want to do. Thus it follows that my conclusion that immigrants are not bad people and have the same right as American citizens, is most likely true because it's supported by all three premises.
