Immigration Pros And Cons

There are many issues in the United States. Some of them are more distraught than others. One issue that has recently had a lot of controversy would be immigration laws. Should we put a stop to immigrants coming over United States boarders? Should the immigrants already in the U.S.A. be allowed to stay? These are some questions being asked by today’s society. Immigrants are not all bad; some are very useful to the United States. In society today, it is easy for some people to find issues with immigrants in America, but people also need to remember America was formed by immigrants.

Illegal immigration has been a major problem for the United States for a long period of time. Illegal immigrants come from all over the world; they come from the Mexico borders, the Pacific Ocean, and through many other ways that they seem to find. Numerous immigrants have came through the borders with fake birth certificates, or through a temporary visa and they just end up staying in the U.S illegally. Most of American’s are very opinionative about illegal immigration and how it can hurt the country, which they have every right to feel that way. U.S population has been growing rapidly for the last decade or so, the population has grew by 4% according to the article “The Progressive Case for Reducing Immigration” by Philip Cafaro. A growing population can cause a good outcome or it can have a bad outcome to the U.S. It has been said that immigrants take jobs, but they can also create jobs. The negative aspects are that many American’s feel threatened by immigrants due to the fact of employment. Immigrants do not come to the U.S to intentionally take jobs; most of them are just trying to provide for their families just like every other American. As most people call the United States the “melting pot” because of how diverse the United State is, that is what makes this country extraordinary. There is every type of ethnicity that comes from different backgrounds. Most people who are from the United States or who want to come only want one thing, and that is the “American

Many people don't care that there is illegal immigrants in the U.S., but it seems to be a big topic in running for president. To me some have good ideas and others screwed their heads on backwards.

Immigration has been going since the 19th century. People have been starting to see the issue with immigration, with these couple centuries. The issue of immigration is people are arguing whether we should let immigrants be here, like for instance immigrants can help with many things. But there are negative things immigration can give too. Whoever is involved in the immigration is the U.S. Congress, the legislative branch of the federal government of the United States. Immigration is important to discuss or care because if we get rid of immigrations, jobs that could have been created will be gone, and the economy will go down. Which then ties intoto the constitution, to ensure that the rights of all Americans and immigrants are secured. So then the question is, should we let in immigrants or not? I believe that we should let in immigrants because they have helped with our country so much.

Nothing is perfect. Neither are the laws created. Like all things in life have a pro and con; so do the laws. What bothers me is not the law per se, but the fact, that illegal immigrants don't pay have to taxes because they came here illegal for whatever led to the circumstance. On the contrary, when an immigrant who has arrived here and works here and pays all their taxes, but their children who are also an immigrant do not have the benefits that may be an illegal immigrant who has a child born in the US. What bothers me isn't the fact that they get benefits like ebt cards so or any of that. Moreover what I cannot seem to wrap my head around is why the immigrants’ children who aren't citizens can’t get those benefits like getting scholarships

The United States is known to be a country of immigrants. Almost everyone is or a descendent of an immigrant. Although we may identify as immigrants, it is still a moral issue we have yet to solve. Our own president has signed executive orders to ban refugees and even send immigrants back to their country. Trump feels as there is no place in our economy for immigrants. For Christians, when it comes to these kind of moral issues, they use the Bible for answers and guidance to how to approach these kinds of matters. According to an article from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops titled Catholic Social Teaching on Immigration and The Movement of Peoples it uses stories from the Old and New Testament that show how some of the prophets as well as Jesus himself were all immigrants. Also, it discussed three principles that were gathered from the encyclical Rerum Novarum. The three principles being: “First: People have the right to migrate to sustain their lives and the lives of their families. Second: A country has the right to regulate its borders and to control immigration. Third: A country must regulate its borders with justice and mercy”( Betz).

The United States of America, with an exception to Native Americans, consists of individuals that are either immigrants themselves or are descendants of immigrants who came to America generations ago. Decades ago, the majority of immigrants emigrated from parts of Europe and the Middle East, but today the majority of immigrants are coming illegally from Mexico. The importance of immigrants is often over looked, but immigrants have always been the backbone of Americas economy by doing the domestic and agriculture work that no native born citizen wants to do. That being said, a great deal of people believe that illegal immigrants are taking away jobs from native born Americans and

Immigration has been a key subject of the United States political debate for decades. While Congress has not had the ability to reach an agreement on immigration reform, this has provided fuel to debates in popular elections around federal, state, and municipal governments. This funnels major policy decisions to the executive and judicial branches. Currently there are an estimated eleven million undocumented immigrants whose futures lie in the current legislation being passed. The enforcement of border security is the main focus to reduce unlawful immigration. A large portion of the undocumented individuals enter the United States legally, but overstay the allotted time on their visas.

The General public is a combination of conservatives and liberals views but lately there have been a lot of protests that is very political. For example, there has been data collected from organizations and Philip E. Wolgin and Angela Maria Kelley wrote in their "The Public's View of Immigration" that “Five recent polls, run by organizations from across the political spectrum—from Fox News to Latino Decisions—unequivocally illustrate that the vast majority of Americans support smart solutions to immigration reform and reject mass deportation.” (Center for American Progress) This shows how Americans feel towards mass deportation. Michele Waslin reports, “despite claims to the contrary, all immigrants–including unauthorized immigrants–pay taxes. Like most Americans, immigrants pay sales, income, property, and other taxes to the federal, state, and local governments.” (Immigration Impact) Waslin is lifting up the truth about immigrates because many are misinformed that immigrants stay here and get welfare when in reality they do their part to live like citizens. However besides the stereotypes about immigration there is hardships I believe that there is also a big portion of income inequality towards education.

Illegal immigration has long been an issue which divides Americans into several groups with several ideas about how illegals should be treated, but the two main outcomes are very different. At a basic level, half of people want illegals to be deported and half want to offer a clear path to citizenship. The problem lies with the half who want to offer a path to citizenship so easily. These are people who snuck into the United States illegally and did their best to live under the radar for days, weeks, months, or even years. They broke at least one law (if not more than that) and need to be reminded that they can’t break the laws of the country they so desperately want to be a part of. The only response to apprehending an illegal immigrant should be to remove them from the country. However, there are certain immigrants who came illegally but became a functioning piece of society, and being a productive, law-abiding member of society should grant said immigrants a certain advantage in the citizenship process. They've already proven themselves to be working people and they're certainly not causing harm to the country, so they should have an (at least slight) advantage over other people in the citizenship process.

Immigration is the migration of people into a country of which they are not natives or where they do not have proof of citizenship nor a green card in order to resign, live, or work in the country. This particular situation is causing chaos to the natives of the United States because they are taking the jobs and the money U.S. citizens should have willingly. Therefore the three branches of government are all involved in the political discussion of the chaos of immigrants coming to the U.S.

In Europe, as in most countries with a high rate of immigration, there are four different categories of immigrants : “The over-stayers” , the ones who have entered the country with a temporary visas (ex : Tourist) and could not extend it legally; workers, including trainee, who have permission to be in the country but are violating their conditions of stay by working illegally; asylum seekers whose demands for granted protection and oficially recognisation as refugee has been denied by the the authorities of the choosen country like tunisians in Germany that pretend to be from Syria to get the refugee statut ; and finally, persons who have not been granted permission to enter and have therefore, entered clandestinely by hiding from inspection border or using means of deception, like a fake passeport. It is estimated that "clandestine entries in Europe have risen by + 180% with more than 274,000 illegal in one year in 2014. Against only 100.000 in 2013" from The European Border and Coast Guard Agency. But what motivates them to leave their home? which advantages can they bring with them ? how can they contribute to the destination country?

The first immigrants that the United States welcomed, were the Europeans and the Native Americans. Throughout the years, Asians and Hispanics have been added to the list, alongside many others. An immigrant is someone whom comes to live permanently in a foreign country. For example, Puerto Ricans coming to the United States and plan on living there long-term. There are many factors that contribute to individuals fleeing their countries. Some come to seek political freedom and the freedom to practice their religion freely, others may seek an opportunity for a better life for both them as well as their children, many come for employment opportunities, education, family unification, and to escape the poverty and oppression. While some immigrants complete their citizenship legally, some stay in the United States illegally, and that is where the conflict began. Any individual that is not a citizen of the United States or entered the country without permission, is considered an alien. Many consider the terminology, an insult. There is a certain confliction as to whether illegal immigration is beneficial or harmful to the United States. Many of the public’s opinion is divided with some individuals strongly stating that it is the most important problem the United States is facing, and others saying that it does not pose any threat, but rather helps the country.

Immigration has always been an issue in America, but after President Trump stepped into office, it has became a greater issue than before his presidency. Trump states that immigrants come to fill America with violence and drugs, but in reality (it's likely true) they come for a better opportunity and live the American dream. It is likely true that most immigrants do their taxes like any other American, but get no benefits. It is likely true that immigrants do the work that most Americans do not want to do. Thus, it follows my conclusion that immigrants are not bad for America and have all of the same rights as American citizens. This is most likely true because it is supported by all three premises.

Immigration in America has always been an ongoing event over the years. Immigration is when a person from a different country comes to live permanently in a foreign country which they are not from. People from all over the world have been immigrating to America all the time, but more have been recently over the past ten years there has been a huge inflation of immigrants coming to live in America. This issue has been very diverse in America. Some people feel that we should make laws, and deport immigrants who have entered the country. While others feel that immigrants should be assimilated into American society. Personally, I feel that we should not prevent immigrants from coming into America, and let the immigrants that are here assimilate into our society. By keeping immigrants in the United States there are many benefits to the country.
