Immigrants Discrimination In America

Since the start of our country, America has been known as a land of immigrants, a melting pot of different cultures and ethnicities working towards the American motto of the land of the free, home of the brave. Since colonial times, immigrants have been an integral part of society, majorly contributing to U.S culture and economy, yet many Americans have always had very conflicting ideas on immigration. Many people look past the benefits immigrants bring to our economy and society and instead scapegoat them for many of the United States’ problems surrounding unemployment and budget. The positive effects of immigrants, both legal and undocumented, in our country far outweighs the negative effects because of their important impact on society and the economic help that American relies on.

Racial discrimination commonly refers to unfair or unequal behavior upon on individuals due to their race or ethnicity. Racism has been practiced for decades. Exerting superiority or supremacy over a race of individuals is the attempt of racial dominance. Despite the increasing population in the United States, Hispanic Americans find racial discrimination a reality in their lives. Migration rates have been on a dramatic climb over the past several decades resulting in a significant growth in diversity being experienced. The migration of the various cultural groups, including the Hispanic cultures,

Immigrant discrimination is simply put the discrimination by natives against immigrants from other countries. In this article I am also going to go into some depth on discrimination on transplants from other areas (people who have relocated to another area of the country.) Immigrant discrimination is a major issue in the United States. There is a reason the United States is considered the melting pot of the world. There are people from all walks of life in our country. There are approximately forty six million immigrants in the United States.

Immigrants are part of a very important role in our American community. And it is that the historical roots of the United States can not be explained without immigration. Since its independence in the late eighteenth century, the country has experienced several waves of migration. For many years, the presidents of the United States have tried to end immigration no matter the damage or problems they can cause to immigrant families and the country. Immigration from the United States is made up of people from all over the world, people from different countries, races and, colors. Over time, groups of people in the United States government have created programs to help immigrants

Immigration is a kind of movement of people into destination land, which can be traced back to a million years ago. Also, the debate over whether immigrants should be given more rights has been an intractable problem for a long period. According to statistics from Wikipedia, as for 2005, the United Nations reported that there were nearly 191 million international immigrants worldwide, about three percent of the world 's population (Immigration). Although it does not seem to take up a large proportion, actually the amount of the immigrant population is particularly huge. In this way, policies on immigration are considered remarkably significant. Moreover, recently the attacks in European countries have also poured fuel on the already-heated debate over immigration policy. In most cases, local citizens and governments do not welcome immigrants into their own country, which is partly due to the discrimination. Obviously, it is unfair to them. Immigrants should be treated equally and given more rights than the rights they possess now because they contribute to boosting economy, creating a harmonious society and they are legal immigrants.

Immigrants help today’s society and continue to benefit themselves despite the threats thrown at them by our president and his people. They have been portrayed as bad people. For example, president Donald J. Trump, says that they are rapists and drug dealers. Due to these comments, many of his supporters believe they are true. Also, his reforms bring a lot of controversy within politics and other countries.

The Native Americans believed that no one person owns the land; it belongs to everyone. They had lived peacefully in the lands and some tribes moved seasonally. Unfortunately, the Native Americans admirable concept of land ownership was not shared by the white colonists. The conquerors vanquished the lands mercilessly in their king’s name. The victors tore the lands apart for their own benefit regardless of how many people would get hurt. They discriminated the real owners and prevent them to enter to their own lands. Sadly, History is repeating itself; all the dark centuries of colonizing might have vanished, but instead, it has been replaced by the rise of nationalism. Political leaders all over the world are currently riding on a wave of nationalism by stoking fear and hostility towards refugees and migrants. The promise of politicians to reduce immigration in order to secure the nation’s security, the native workers’ wages or employment is merely a discrimination in disguise. Building a wall along the US-Mexico border is a great mistake. This egregious

“Do you know what immigrants are and what they have to go through?” Somewhere in this world, some people who live out of the country of the U.S. are struggling to get a better everything because the job that they have don't pay them well enough that they don't have the right amount of money. Those people are called immigrants. These immigrants choose to cross the border and risk their lives to find a better lifestyle or opportunities, and people don't want them here because they think that they are just taking up space or they don't belong here because they don't have any right to, or even because they are taking away job opportunities. This is a big problem because immigrants are being mistreated or not being treated like normal people.

Many immigrants came to America seeking freedom, jobs, and land while others were running from famine and war. While immigrants ran from the problems of their native land, they were running into new problems in America. Americans feared the immigrants would take their jobs or have the right to vote. This fear caused discrimination against the immigrants due to their diverse backgrounds from Germany, Ireland, and China. Immigrants that came to America faced the hardship of discrimination because they did not only stand out with their culture but also because Americans didn’t necessarily want them in America.

Despite where the funds are generated to support these programs and immigrants, the citizens of the US may see them as a threat to their way of life. Furthermore, this will open up a whole new issue involving the employment from a discriminatory position, which can cause problems for employers. Of course, there will be an imbalance of pay and possibly workload for some immigrants, but there is really no legal guidance on how employers should treat them. On the other hand, there will have to be guidance on what is considered discrimination for immigrants. Since they are migrants from other countries, they are not considered to be Americans. Therefore, the general principals of the country may not apply to them.

In 1849, San Francisco gained popularity among immigrants, people who travel from a foreign country to permanently live in another country, because of the new job opportunities that would change their lives. Many eager Chinese people took this rare chance to travel to a new place in order to make money and improve their poor living conditions. With all of the immigrants coming in from Asia, especially China, the white Americans grew anxious leading the United States government to issue the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This act prevented immigrants from entering the United States for 10 years. After the span of 10 years stated in the exclusion act, America’s leaders decided to issue another

Prejudice was implanted in the American society and still unconsciously remains. Although some Americans pretend that the preconception does not exist in the society anymore, the victims of the prejudice can frequently be found. It, both directly and indirectly, affects people’s way of living. More importantly, prejudice, a complex and unwanted behavior of human being, is influencing the American public policies, especially, an immigration policy. It points out that public policy on immigration need to be reformed.

Most immigrants that come to this country give us a sense of fresh air. Not only do they come motivated and to innovate but they do jobs that Americans don’t want to do : some areas include field, construction, and factory jobs. This country was built on immigrant and by law the government can’t discriminate based off gender ,race, or ethnicity. This was based on a Stanford law review. Some Americans may challenge the view on immigration by insisting that immigrant that come are criminals and drug dealers. This fear stems the fear of change. Today I will talk about a brief history of immigration, some common misconceptions, the benefits of immigration, and finally I will talk about why some American disagree with immigration in order to prove that the benefits of immigration outway the liabilities of immigration.

There is an extensive list of how this country tried to keep out the Asian immigrants. It did not seem to stop them, they were determined to come to America and stay here. Despite the fact that the United States discriminated against the Asian population, during World War I, they served in the war. Due to their service, they were awarded naturalization. The 1917 Immigration Act could not even help the Asians, due to the Gentleman’s Act and the Tydings-McDuffies Act of 1934 banned the Filipinos (Asian American History TImeline,

In the United States today, immigration has become very controversial topic. Americans have many strong opinions about immigration. We go in the directions of a mixing pot, meaning immigrants should be held to the expectations of becoming Americanized, a salad bowl where immigrants can be unique and stay within in their culture, or even both. We even see that some Americans even believe that immigrants shouldn’t be aloud in the country at alarming rates and that even some immigrants should be deported to make space for Americans for a variety of reasons. Many Americans see immigrants as being a disturbance in their way of life or even a threat for job opportunities. Immigrants are being referred to people that are causing chaos in American
