Immigrants Go To The United States

Immigrating to the United States is not an easy task, but if you make it to the United States you will most likely have a better paying job then you did back home. When immigrating to the United States, there are two different ways that it can be done, either coming legally or illegally. No matter how you get to the United States, everyone has one goal in mind, which is getting a job and being successful. Americans assume that immigrants are coming to the United States to bring drugs, commit crimes, and take jobs from “hard working Americans”. Workagrating is essentially the people who come to the United States to work and build a better life for themselves and their families.

Immigrants are basic facts of a strong U.S. economy, fulfilling the intrinsic need of the labor force for workers. We as immigrants have more of a tendency of working for our money to survive and to make our children have a better life, in a tough economy and in a country that isn’t even ours. How can immigration and immigrants life overcome? What difference can we do to fix the immigration dilemma occurring in the United States? This are some questions that many people may have asked someday. Immigration is a huge dilemma in the United States and we want to make a difference. This subject relates to me because as my parents, I am also an immigrant. We all want to make a difference in this world but why don’t we start by finding answers to help people who are immigrants? It is estimated that around $94 Billion dollars are spent on deporting immigrants. The government is spending an exorbitant amount of money, instead, that money could be better spent on other purposes, such as health plans for everyone or help the society build more shelters and livings for the amount of homeless that there are. Not only in the United States but in other countries in the world.

Immigration is a tremendous problem in America today. Thousands of immigrants every year travel illegally into the United States, and the United States immigration system is in turmoil. It takes years for immigrants to be admitted into the U.S.; for example, David Joseph, spent two years of his life in Khrome 's detention center. A good idea to quickly welcome immigrants that will benefit the American society would be to increase border patrol, and to allow more the immigrants who will be beneficial to our society to be granted citizenship or to at least allow work permits for them. With the increased patrol of the border dangerous and violent immigrants that would harm the U.S. would not be allowed in to our country to terrorize the U.S. citizens. Also if we could put these new citizens to work they would help bring large corporations back to the U.S. because the new citizens will be willing to work almost any job. Another way we could provide for these immigrants is to provide charity 's for them.

Millions of people come to America, the most diverse country in the world, in search for the American Dream. Everyone has their own of American Dream leading them to success. Culture shapes our way of life and is learned through the society that we were born into. Many different kinds of immigrants come to America including white, black, rich, poor, religious, etc. Each have their own way of life and their own customs. Coming to America will be a different lifestyle and it will take time to get used to adopting the various mannerisms. Being born into a certain culture can determine one’s values and behaviors. Traditions change when entering a new setting. Immigrants coming to America have to assimilate to a great degree in an economic and social

Immigrants that came to America were pursuing a secure life for themselves and better lives for their children or future children; they envisioned America as the land of opportunity and a prosperous country in which to pursue any endeavor they chose, but no one recognized what was happening to the other half of the country and its citizens--the reality of the thousands of people living in the streets and going months without work--until they arrived. The idea was to come to America and find the American dream, but no one realized just how hard that would be until it was too late. There has always been a false premise of the American dream and the land of opportunity, and the immigrants discovered this the hard way.

Coming to the United States as an immigrant may be a daunting experience. If your first visit/arrival is to the north-eastern part of the country you may be welcomed with different customs and traditions (religion, food, music, dressing, language, family life and so on) by the more liberal society compare to the down-south where religious-conservatism is the order. On my flight, flying from Lagos, Nigeria to New York, I was a bit apprehensive because I sat next to an old white American lady. What caused my apprehension, I don’t really know but my fear quickly dissipated due to the kindness and politeness of this woman. She was always there for me anytime I need help, even before I could ask. It had an impression on me that American people must be very kind.

During the great immigration period 1900-1920, there were many cultures that arrived on the shores of the United States, for example Italians, Portuguese, French, Spanish and Irish to name a few. These new immigrants were grateful to be here and for the opportunity to better their own lives and that of their future generations. In an attempt to assimilate most of these cultures initially practiced their old countries traditions in the privacy of their home. The reasoning behind this is, the current citizens (native) were in great opposition and feared these new immigrants. This fear from long established native born Americans was in part, from having lost

Immigration has been an ongoing event in America since the start of this country. America used to allow immigrants from all over the world to freely come into the country because back when United States was just starting out there was so much land to settle on. After the civil war happened more laws were starting to pass to regulate the amount of immigrants that would come into the United States. Once World War 1 began immigration slowed down because it was harder to travel out of the country. However, right after it ended immigration became a lot heavier and new laws had to be passed. One of the laws that were passed was called National-Origins Quota System, which basically said that there was a specific quota that needed to be met for each nationality of immigrants to come into the United States. Over the next years immigration slowed down a bit, and then in 1986 congress passed an act called Immigration Reform and Control Act. One of the biggest parts of this act was enforcement to prevent illegal admission into the United States. The act banned hiring and harboring illegal immigrants. However, because of poor enforcement this act did not really succeed. About a decade later they tried to enforce more laws in order to prevent these illegal immigrants from entering the country, the passed a law called Illegal Immigrant Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. The main purpose of this act was to aid border control by hiring better border patrol and more agents to enforce

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

This is a difficult question to answer. The first option intended to allow all immigrants into America is optimistic but naïve, as it could lead to overpopulation. Banning immigration altogether would throw the basis of what America stands for into question. As stated in class, at the point we would have to demolish the Statue of Liberty. Therefore, the only logical option would be to impose some limitations on immigration, but that option is not without faults. Determining what criteria immigrants must meet in order to gain entrance into America is no easy feat. I can see the necessity of medically examining immigrants before allowing entry, but any other basis for limitation appears susceptible to bias. Immigrants could potentially be required

After the Civil War and the battle had ended on the war field, a new battle arose in the life of the industrialized civilians. It was the time of the Gilded age an era where big businessmen arose and immigrants fled into United States of America. Immigrants from southern and western Europe came in enormous quantities. This grew the population tremendously in the city of New York. Though they made it in America they still faced hardships such as job discrimination, poor housing, and stripped of their culture. Even though the population of immigrants grew consequently the jobs task they could perform did not. The workforce changed tremendously form people working for themselves to people working for a company. This made it difficult for immigrants to get work due to nativism and them having lack of entrepreneurship. 1880 until 1920 was known as “Coming to America”

America is a nation of immigrants; all immigrants came to America for the same as the British settler did for opportunities to improve their lives. According to Detroit Free Press, “On January 15, 2018, Jorge Gracia was deported , and said goodbye to his family; He was brought into the country by an undocumented family member and tried various paths to become a legal resident”. Immigrants affect today's American society in a myriad of ways; however, migrating to the united states is difficult for some who wish to become a citizen of the united states due to a complicated process. The government has made a immigration strict due to certain requirements that must be fulfilled,but limiting restrictions and requirements will reassure the america’s society

• 1986 - Immigration Reform and Control Act granted lawful permanent residency to over 2.7 million undocumented

The great influx of immigrants who came to the United States during the nineteenth century faced xenophobic sentiments from everybody— commoners and government officials alike. Consequently, the immigrants who came to America in search of economic opportunity were attributed with the characteristics of filth, laziness, and inferiority. Accordingly, editorial cartoons of the time encapsulated these nativist views held by Anglo-Saxons. One such cartoon, “The Stranger at the Gate”, depicted a rugged immigrant carrying various pieces of luggage labeled “disease”, “poverty”, and “anarchy” (Stranger). Through the use of symbolism, the cartoon reflects the popular sentiment that immigrants are filthy and offer America nothing but disease and poverty.
