Immigration Has An Immense Impact On Our Nation 's History

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.

The impact of immigration is a highly controversial topic that gets touched on with the media outlets frequently. With the development of newfound criticism and the rise of popular slogans such as “Immigrants take Jobs,” immigration has become an increasingly prominent economic topic that contains multiple viewpoints and requires discussion. Many economics have noted that alterations in immigration impact a variety of economic policies that make it virtually impossible to make conclusive models on both it’s short-term and long-term effects. Yet, there seems to be agreement that rapid changes such as the ones occurring in our country right now may lead to a decline in economic growth. Therefore, as proposals of reducing legal immigration increase, it has become necessary to view immigration as a serious fiscal issue, that although on the surface may seem to solve a plethora of problems, really doesn’t.

In 1720’s immigrants came to the U.S. to work in farms and help the economy grow. Since then, countless have continue to come and have worked in different environments. Immigrants are looking for a better life, none of them want to leave their native country but they have to. Several of them have different reasons, some come to U.S. for a better pay rate, others come to run away from violence and some come to give their children a better life and a better education. Some parents even go to the extremes to just send their kids through the border alone, because they think that their kids will have a better life in the U.S. Undocumented Immigrants work in farms, fast food restaurants and others work in manufacturing companies. A lot of of them

Immigration has shaped America,but now it 's becoming harder and harder to enter this country. With the growing threat that immigration is bad and that illegal immigrants are stealing American jobs, many people believe the laws need to be even more strict. With Donald Trump recently elected that may become a reality. Trump has said “I will build a grat a wall” and also “anyone who is in the United States Illegally is subject to deportation” (Brandner). While it is important that Illegal immigrants be dealt with not all of them are bad. Immigration has shaped the United States before and will continue to help The United States as long as people want to live here.

Immigration has fueled the American society from the beginning of its creation. Without immigrants, there would be no America. From ones searching for religious freedom to others seeking economic prosperity, America would not be the successful country it is today without its foreign-born masses. This country has thrived on its people’s diverse contributions, and it has stimulated our economy greatly. It is the place, no matter who one is, to thrive in the acceptance of one another’s differences. Unfortunately, there are others that oppose the very thing that has made America what it is today. Despite certain disapproval, the impact immigration has on America is remarkably beneficial to the economy; this is evident when analyzing its positive effects on gross domestic product (GDP), wages and employment, and other economic contributions, which in turn has stimulated colossal economic growth for America.

With the growing threat that immigration is bad and that illegal immigrants are stealing American jobs, many people believe the laws need to be even more strict. With Donald Trump recently elected that may become a reality. Trump has said “I will build a great wall” and also “anyone who is in the United States Illegally is subject to deportation” (Brandner). While it is important that Illegal immigrants be dealt with not all of them are bad. Immigration has shaped the United States before and will continue to help The United States as long as people want to live here.

Immigration has modernized America’s workforce, economy, society and culture. Each group of newcomers brings optimism, hope and determination in pursuing the American Dream. Each group makes America more diverse and stronger. Immigrants are people who come from another country and move to a new one. An illegal or undocumented immigrant is a foreigner who enters or lives in a country unlawfully or without the countries authorization. In the US, immigrants are people who risk their lives to make the journey to America in search of a better life and future. Those who came to America between 1892 and 1954 had to go through Ellis Island. Ellis island helped more than 12 million people become immigrants and more than 40 percent of current US citizens can trace at least one of their ancestors back to Ellis Island (History1). People came for different reasons and in the 1910s many “Jews escaping from political and economic oppression in czarist Russia and eastern Europe and Italians escaping poverty in their country”(History1), came to the US in search of a better life. They left their homes for many reasons including “war, drought, famine and religious persecution, and all had hopes for greater opportunity in the New World”(History1). My family came through Ellis Island and endured the long journey by boat across the Atlantic along with millions of other people and their families too. I have a few friends who are abiding in America on visas and had to make the journey to

“Our attitude towards immigration reflects our faith in the American ideal. We have always believed it possible for men and women who start at the bottom to rise as far as the talent and energy allow. Neither race nor place of birth should affect their chances.” A former president said this quote, Robert F. Kennedy. There have obviously been changes in the way our country runs since he has been in the position. The changes for immigrants throughout the years have only become more difficult for anyone to enter the US. We have even decided to seal the border of the US and Mexico. Our country has different sides of the topic of immigrants. Immigrants should only be allowed into the US if done the correct way. Many organizations or people

In the year of 2000, my family and I immigrated to the United States. We came for a better life, employment, and to get an education. We didn’t know how life would be in the U.S till we came and experienced it. I don’t remember anything since I was only three years old. As growing up, I’ve seen my mom suffer alone. She went through the hard times because it is not easy once you migrate to another country. After so many difficulties and hard work, the outcome has paid off. Life may not be perfect, but I am thankful for having an education right now. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to pursue their dreams and to accomplish important goals. Just as my family got the chance to live in a country filled with a land of opportunities; immigrants should be allowed into the United States. Looking at the numerous advantages of opportunities in this country, why should there be restrictions? As it is said that “America is a melting pot”, since different races come together to create one union. Immigration to the U.S. should be allowed because immigrants bring needed diversity, important job skills, unusual perspectives, and a richness of customs to the American society.

“America is the land of the second chance - and when the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life.” George W. Bush (BrainyQuote® 1). One of our presidents made the statement that leads many to believe that success isn’t only what you choose to do with your life; it is where you choose to do it. Immigration is such a relevant and pressing topic in the minds of millions in our growing society. The news constantly covers stories of today’s youth striving to become what their parents brought them to this country for. Our country is full of promises and dreams of making what we thought impossible, become possible. Illegal immigrants deserve to be part of this country.

Immigration has made America what it is today. Without immigration, we would not have as many ethnicities or cultures as we do today. However, although immigration has made an overwhelming impact on the US, making it happen wasn’t as remarkable.

The United States has a long history of illegal immigration that dates back to the 1700s. For example, the first legalization act, known as the Naturalization act, allowed illegal immigrants to appeal for citizenship if they had lived in the U.S. for no shorter than two years (“Immigration Policy: Should the U.S. Government Provide Undocumented Immigrants a Path to Citizenship?”). In 1790 immigrants were essential for the growth of the United States. People from all over the world went to America to seek refuge and jobs in which their home country couldn’t provide. Europeans, between 1820 and 1880, “left their homelands to start new lives in the United States” (“Immigration Policy: Should the...”). For many, the United States has been looked at as a

Since the beginning immigration has played an important role in the American history. America was built on immigrants, beginning with the first people that came in a ship called the Mayflower. They came to North America to see the unknown or the new world as they called it. Now they have adapted to their new place, also, more people have come since then.

Immigration has been apart of world history for ages and ages. Ever since the pilgrims settled in the New Americas to practice there own religion, countries have been trying to invade so they can call it there own home. Throughout the years, immigration has indeed grown with problems. Immigrants from around the world wanted to make the United States they’re new home, but with new lives come change. The government had to respond to the rapid population growth along with new foreign residents, taking away native-born Americans there jobs and space.

Immigration has been a huge topic since 1924 when the Immigration Act was passed placing a limit on how many immigrates could enter the United States and ongoing since President Trump was brought into office. When Trump got into office he raised chaos when he mentioned building a wall and sending people back to their home land. This raised chaos for families who came here to escape poverty, education, and health care. Here at the University of Akron this raised chaos because we have students from seven different countries like Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Many people feel that immigrates shouldn’t be able to walk on U.S soil while others feel completely different. The other side of this argument feels that everyone should get the same chance to be the best that they can be even if this means immigrates coming to the United States. Many immigrates come to the united states for to escape poverty. Most people who leaves to come to America are young people. These young people moved from their homes to seek better job opportunities. This raised conflict with the American citizens this was because you had some people who were against it and others who seen absolutely nothing wrong with it. The people who had a problem with immigrates coming to America for job felt that they were taking job opportunities from them. They felt that the immigrates should not be able to work in the U.S. Many of immigrates are limited to rewarding jobs because of discrimination. According to “Beyond Gateway Cities: Economic Restructuring and Poverty Among Mexican Immigrant Families and Children*” we measure poverty based on the family’s income including both earning and non-earning incomes received in both the previous and percent year.
