Are immigrants a burden to the United States? Or do they benefit society? Many people might say that immigrants don’t help the country and that they should be deported back to their respective countries. Keeping the status of undocumented immigrants as aliens costs the government a lot of money and the broken solution of deporting immigrants costs even more. Immigrants stimulate the growth of the economy and immigrants give the country so much and no one gives them credit for it. There is an ever growing number of people that support immigration reform.

In 2016, only 55.5% of American voters turned out to vote in the 2016 election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. (Voter Turnout in the United States Presidential Elections.) The fact that these statistics are only based on American voters makes many people wonder how much of an impact it would make if immigrants voted as well. But here is the catch: immigrants cannot vote at all in the United States unless they are actual citizens of the United States, and this is one of the problems Project I is looking to fix. Project I is a government funded project that is targeting the education and housing of immigrant women and children. The focus on women and children has to do with the fact that it is harder for women, specifically single mothers

In the Better part of the 19th Century, Immigrants from many parts of the world packed up all of their belongings and brought their families to America with hopes to start a better life. There are many reasons that these Immigrants fled their home countries, but for the most part it was due to the Losses in agriculture, a shortage of jobs, religious persecution, as well as a rise in taxes and famine. The large majority of immigrants, during this time, immigrated from countries like Germany, Ireland, and England. As they began to flock to the United States, the westward push took full swing, and millions of immigrants came through Ellis Island in the state of New York, as well as immigrants processing through Angel Island in northern California. It was an offering of a new start and a way for these immigrant families to claim their part in the “American Dream.” The new immigration into this country was great however, when land started to become scarce and with the pacification of the Native Americans, it was as if the frontier became unrecognizable on a map. People were no longer spreading across the American States and cities were starting to become over populated with immigrants that were attempting to claim their opportunities. Immigrants were once welcomed into this country as they had no problems with doing the “dirty work” that most other people avoided, but the tides seemed to turn and these immigrants begun to be thought of as less than equal because of the
