Immigrants: From Workagrating To The United States

The collection “Coming to America” is comprised of journal entries, biographies, and autobiographies that discuss the social and political transformations that arose from immigration. “Of Plymouth Plantation”, “Balboa”, and “‘Blaxicans’ and Other Reinvented Americans” illustrate how immigrants shape America’s direction. The changes that occurred when settlers migrated seriously impacted the nation they were travelling to. The first of these changes pertains to culture. Immigrants brought their religions and languages to their host country, and that caused a great deal of acculturation, usually to the new religion or language. Government is another principle that was implemented into the “inner workings” of the new country. Lastly, the newcomers

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

Day in and day out many immigrants enter the United States of America in search of greener pastures. This greener pasture includes higher educational prospects and lucrative jobs. However, life usually does not turn out as many of them usually anticipate. The expectation they usually have prior to their entry to the United States is partly due to the all rosary and nice things they hear about America. They hear such nice things from the media and also from diaspora’s who return from America to their homeland who usually don’t share their entire experiences with them. There have been quite a number of reports and research findings that outline the various challenges that are faced by immigrants in America. I personally share some of these issues as an international student in a foreign country. Prior to coming to Metropolitan State University, I had colleagues who told me about the school and their excellent environments that facilitate learning. Also other friends who were in America made me aware of the opportunity to work alongside schooling which made me more interested as I needed financial aid. With all these palatable information in mind, I did apply for the school and even though the tuition fee was quite expensive considering my socio economic background, I did apply having the mindset of working to meet up certain financial needs. Upon arrival in America, I realized that I was given a fraction of the entire picture. I wasn't allowed to work outside of campus,

According to the studies on over 200 Metropolitan areas, immigrants committed less crimes on average compared to natural born citizens. One of the largest immigration populated city have one of the lowest average crime rates. This shows that allowing immigrants in the country does not increase the danger to national security or public safety. Studies at the University of California, Irvine, and Graham Ousey, College of William and Mary have also shown that high immigrant populated areas have lower rates of crime and violence. Since many

An immigrant is someone who has moved from somewhere to permanently live somewhere else. In this case Immigrants have moved to America where they will live and experience life. Immigrants migrate towards places in which they will benefit, they are looking for a new life therefor they must enjoy where they are moving to. There are some rules when it comes to Immigration though, for instance if two people move to America as immigrants and have children here the children will not be considered immigrants, they will be citizens of America. Immigrants back then are not like immigrants today, oh how times have changed. The number of immigrants who migrated to America increases every couple of years. Throughout this essay I will explain what life

This is what immigrants came to America for, but did not always experience. Some found persecution just by their race like in “The

Immigrantion is an apperance that people choose where they want to live; people from all over the world would like to immigrant to the countries such as Russia, Germany or Canada. There is no denying that many people choose to come to the United States and be a citizen of this country because America is the greatest country in the world so far. The United States as the largest population of immigrantion is a controversy thing; it has been talked by many authors; they gave their opinions no matter they are from this country or they are immigrants. Immigration has bring either bad thing or good thing to the United States; different people has different views such as every coin has two sides.

Every year many immigrants from all over the world try to come to America, and we all know they want to have a better life in a country with safety and strong economic. This happened creates several problems for the government and people who live here. Thus, the government tries to prevent harmful happened, it has been paying loads of money and effort to find a probable way to protect the country and also helping people around the world who want to come in our active country with encouraging mindset to have the improved future for themselves and their family. In order to fulfill expectation and need of immigrants, America has very clear law with processing step by step to help immigrants, but lots of people who want to come to have a supportive

In a country that was created by the hard work of immigrants, those who ask the question of whether their labor has contributed to the growth of the United States economy are simply ignoring facts. The truth is that immigrants make up a large percentage of the incoming workforce and they prevent the withering of the economy even in times of population decline. Economic competitiveness is threatened by an aging workforce but a flow of immigrants entering the U.S. helps counter this problem while at the same time raising the number of taxpayers. Immigrants play many important roles when it comes to helping the economy of the United States, however they also play damaging roles to some of the workers of the U.S. as many are outcompeted for work

The United States was originally founded by immigrants. As the country started to form, those immigrants started to call themselves “Americans”. As the country grew and prospered, the country was no longer made up of immigrants. Although that didn’t stop the immigrants from coming. Many brought their families which eventually led the government to ask what they should do with them. The DREAM act was proposed which would lead college age immigrants to citizenship. This act proposed that these immigrants would have to have been in the U.S. before the age of 16 and have obtained a GED or a high school diploma. From this they would have Conditional Resident status from which they would be able to get permanent residency through attending an institution of higher learning or serving in the military. There are many who support it, but there are also many who are against the act.

I am a Chinese immigrant, and I have been New York six years already. In here, I spend lots of time to learn English and adapt the cultures. Even my language is not as good as a native speaker, but I still want to be an American here. Therefore, I am planning to become a US citizen within two years, before I graduate college. In this six years, I started from learning alphabetical in high school. Because of my language problem, I didn’t have a good GPA in high school. It made me upset. After I graduate high school, I didn’t go to college, because I thought, even I went to college at that time, I won’t have good score and achievement. I won’t spend too much time and concentrated on study. Therefore, in the year after I graduated, I went to

Immigration has always considered as contentious in the United States. More than two hundred years ago Benjamin Franklin concerned that German settler would overwhelm many predominantly British culture of the United States. In mid-nineteenth century an Irish immigrants were scorned as lazy. In the early twentieth century believed that a gesture of "new immigrants"-Poles, Italians, Russian Jews were too different to ever be assimilated into American life. Today, the fears are used against immigrants from Latin America, but critics are wrong, just as were their counterparts in earlier times. In this report we need to study the relation of diverse people contribution in United States and the countries culture. (McLaughlin, 2006)

The United is founded on immigrant. Every immigrant that migrated to United States wants a better life for their children and their children’s children. Instinctively we are obligated to bring better things for future generation. So, who speak for future generation, unfortunately it is not the majority as far as can see. We live in a mixed economy and profit driven society, only when resources are near depletion or there is clear and present danger of something is when the people demand the government to issue policies that

The United States is well known as the land of opportunity. Many immigrants come here to work and live a better life. For immigrants that cannot enter the country legally, the end result is to enter the country illegally. The majority of undocumented immigrants “do often take some of the country’s least attractive job, such as agriculture” (Davidson).

“Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionist.” Franklin D. Roosevelt (2). All of these immigrant are everywhere. They help the U.S. out more than people know. The immigrants contribute so much to our economy, create better living situations not only themselves but for us as Americans as well, and we have more diversity.
