As a nation founded and built by immigrants, regardless of the treatment the different immigrant groups have received from the U.S., the very notion of immigration is an essential componant in understanding our nation’s identity. I believe it’s important to recognize and know one’s personal culture and background in their family line. If we are called to remember that somewhere down our family’s history there are immigrants who decided to migrate then I believe that can have a humbling effect, and, as a result, decrease the likelihood of xenophobic behavior to spread across our political system and the social and economic discourse that surrounds immigration. Thus, preserving one’s own culture is important, because it allows us to realize that
Immigration has been a burning issue lately, particularly after Donald Trump’s immigration ban in the United States of America. It has been a topic that families discuss every morning with breakfast. Despite many concerns related to immigration, it has several positive benefits that mostly outweighs the negativity. People bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration. Many immigrants in the United States are good workers who don't depend upon any public welfare and mostly help in the overall development of the economy. As a country made by immigrants, we must not forget the fact that immigrants have helped to build cities and create a path of development form Google to iPhones (Gray & Furman, 2012). These facts are secluded, and some related arguments with different content have been repeated for years and continue. Immigrants have a lot to give the United States rather than to take, especially when it comes to economic terms.
The walls are caving inside one’s hiding place and all one hears is the screams of their cherished friends being brutally assaulted by law enforcement that is suppose to be our protectors, who turn out to be the devil hidden in the flesh. One could nothing, but continue to hear the screaming and pray that the terror does not find him or her. One continues to cower under fear and wait for the sun to rise again to live under fear for another day. Each day goes by with one always looking behind his or her shoulders wondering if they, immigration, are coming for them and are the people, he or she trusts, will sell them out.The thoughts of abandonment, fear, and betrayal are constantly running through the families that do not have a piece of paper,
Even though the reform should be passed there are also some things that immigrants should do to show that they are willing to do whatever it takes to be accepted in this country. The main thing they should work on is to learn the primary language of the U.S, which is English. Immigrants need to prove once again of what they are capable of. Even if immigrants are in a really good percentage of speaking English they still have to work harder. According to Julia Beckhusen one of the journalists in charge to collect information for the U.S Census Bureau,“The majority of the Mexican immigrants (close to two-thirds) do not speak English well.” This seems to be a big problem among the immigrants. Why is it good to learn the language? “English-speaking
As human beings, we are entitled to three natural rights; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Strict laws against immigration, making some legal and others not, is prohibiting individuals from fulfilling their natural rights; rights that every human being is granted to have under law, no matter your race, gender, or age. Before 1924, there was no illegal immigration and people from around the world were allowed to come and go as they please. Then in 1924, congress passed a law saying that all immigration was basically illegal. During this time crime did not go down, the drug exports did not go away, and this law did nothing but bring down the economy. Then in 1965 politicians were starting to take notice that the law did nothing but hurt the United States. So instead of revoking the law completely, they decided to make changes to it to make some immigration legal, and some immigration illegal. Looser immigration laws should be supported because every individual is entitled to natural rights, immigration helps our country (legal or not), and most illegal immigrants are law
The Article Immigration Policy: Should the U.S. government take stricter measures to limit illegal immigration (February 9, 2017), focuses on whether the U.S. should adopt stricter measures for illegal immigration. Supporters believe that illegal immigrants pose a threat to national security. Undocumented immigrants are not in the system, so their criminal records are inaccessible. Additionally, supporters believe that immigrants take the jobs of Americans. Companies tend to give immigrants jobs because they will work for cheap wages. However, the opponents of the law believe stricter measures for illegal immigrants shouldn’t be done because most of the country's technological breakthroughs are due to immigrants. Opponents believe that immigrants help the economy because they take the jobs that not many workers take, such as farming or physical work. Immigration policy argument will continue until there is common ground established between everyone whether to there should be stricter measures or another way for them to become documented.
The United States has long served as a refuge for people who seek to escape hunger, poverty, torture, and the oppression of the human spirit in their own countries. However, the issue of immigration in the United States has become a political flashpoint since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The sacralization of the tragedy has served to paint all immigrants with the same fear-ladened brush, and has marginalized and stereotyped an already vulnerable population. Today, more than ever, immigrants in the United States face increasing stressors as they try to assimilate in a politically charged post 9/11 world. To be an effective social worker, immigration issues and multicultural awareness is critical. Mary and Mario, a couple who
Immigration has been a heated issue for a long time, it has began to come up again because of the election of Donald Trump. Trump believes that there should be a restriction to the amount of people immigrating to the United States, and i’d have to agree. Immigration is stealing millions of U.S jobs away from their rightful citizens. There’s also a threat of terrorism, Trump believes that there should be a sanction on Muslims from entering the city, he has been stated as saying “We have to get down to creating a country that’s not going to have the kind of problems we’ve had with people flying planes into the World Trade Center.” Which I agree with to a certain point, there is a serious threat of terrorism each time a plane full of Syrian immigrants enter the United States. But we can’t just shun these people away, they have the right to come into our country, and they deserve to have all of their basic rights upheld as long as they are in the United States. My proposal is to ship their kind off to a remote island in the

There are major things debated in the presidential election every day, but the biggest one is immigrants. Immigrants should be allowed to come into the US and be able to work and live here. Immigrants shouldn't be forced out of the country because they fled in. We should shelter them and let America grow. Removal of immigrants have spiked to half a million in the last decade. But even though their efforts we’ve had a whopping 2 million immigrants come to America in the last decade shows Undocumented Immigrants Taking Jobs From US Citizens? By Cristina Silva.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, [...] Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” (Statue of Liberty) The United States accepts everyone from around the world, regardless of who they are and what they do, with open arms. But why are all the immigrants rushing to get into the US, instead of other countries? 10 out of the 30 million immigrants have been admitted into the US between 1900 and 1980 because they wanted to make this country their home, as said in the Leaving America article. While many immigrants argue that the United States has not held up to its promise of providing immigrants a stable government, safety, and new opportunities, it has come a long way of doing so by giving them a better education, which leads to more chances of becoming successful, and more freedom.
“A special kind of courage that enabled them to leave their own land leave their friends, and their countrymen and come to this new and strange land” these are the words President Ronald Reagan used on describing illegal immigrants leaving their country and coming to the USA. There are huge amounts of illegal immigrants coming into the United States each year from all over the world. These immigrants want a better life for themselves and their family. More and more people in today’s time are having issues on this topic because of the economy. Illegal immigration can be a great thing for the economy because of taxes, labor and spending. Many people in today’s time say many illegal immigrants harm the economy not help it because of welfare and stealing of jobs.
