Immigration Reform For Immigrants

Immigration has become a very relevant topic in the past few years and has sparked various arguments between Americans. No agreement has been reached regarding an immigration reform. Possibly because many people view it as an immediate amnesty rather than a possibility of legalization for hard-working immigrants. Despite of the

The return and removal of illegal immigrants from the United States is one of the most widely discussed topics. Since 2007the United States Customs and Border Protection (ICE) has returned or removed over 1.2 million illegal immigrants from the United States. ICE has expanded its Criminal Alien Program to included incarcerated criminal illegal aliens.  In 2007, ICE identified 164,296 convicted criminals who were incarcerated in Federal, state and local penitentiaries (These are people who came into the United States illegally and committed a crime.)

Immigration to America in the Early 1900's In the eyes of the early American colonists and the founders of the Constitution, the United States was to represent the ideals of acceptance and tolerance to those of all walks of life. When the immigration rush began in the mid-1800's, America proved to be everything but that. The millions of immigrants would soon realize the meaning of hardship and rejection as newcomers, as they attempted to assimilate into American culture. For countless immigrants, the struggle to arrive in America was rivaled only by the struggle to gain acceptance among the existing American population.

Immigration, the word that seems to keep coming up on the news every day. Many people around the United States think of different things whenever this word comes to mind. Throughout the years, the immigration system has tremendously changed, and so have some people’s views on immigration. People no longer come from crowded boats, but some still get treated as they do. People no longer have to take an education test or medical test, yet if one lacks in those areas they get treated similarly to how they were treated during the Progressive Era. America has changed, but it hasn’t really changed in ways. America may have replaced some laws, but it’s new laws have a similar impact as the older ones did. Although some of America’s immigration policies have changed over the years, immigration to America still remains a broken system. Immigration laws still prevent people from getting jobs, discrimination towards immigrants is still around, and many immigrants are not given good jobs or living conditions.

The immigration reform, an important issue for the U.S. government has accelerated significantly in the past few years.

It has also been suggested that a sub citizenship could be an option instead of providing full citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants.

The whole point of doing this reform is t make the United States more acceptable in a way that will be a country of success. Individualism is taking over so it will allow Americans to have a lot of power and they want just to be focused on themselves and their goals without interferes of others especially immigrants. The anti-immigrant reform will break families and not allow them to rise in an economic aspect.

There are not many people who know that there is war going on within America. A war, that is capable of impacting the future of America. Millions of “Dreamers” are fighting to be recognized as American citizens. In recent months and years, the debate on immigration reform has been heated and often uninformed. Every president mentions in his speech to take action on immigration reform. But unfortunately he ends up taking action against immigrants by deporting them.

Like when immigration first started people still dislike the idea of it and want it to stop. It just so happens that some of the nativist political parties that were started in the 1800’s gained power and are still around today fighting to control the war on immigration. Many of the laws that were passed are still around today. Today since illegal immigration is a big problem they have made a border between Mexico and America, with very strict border patrol. But for the immigrant who come to America whether illegal or legal if they want to become a citizen they must pass a test first. In the present people aren't as worried about immigrants causing unsanitary living or overpopulation as much, now their main focuses are crime, such as smuggling drugs over the border. Smuggling people into America and selling them as working slaves. Though, jobs is still a current issue since people can pay illegals under the table for a lot cheaper than a citizen. Another worry that was not one in the past is terrorism, when an immigrant sneaks into the US illegally then they are able to do terrorist acts easier. Because of that security is very strict and many background checks are run before they are allowed to

Immigration is a great thing for this country, but it needs to be done legally.

Others however, are of the opinion that they should be severely punished, seeing as what they are doing is illegal, arguing that the illegal immigrants are taking away jobs from Americans and not paying their taxes.

The topic of immigration is a very touchy in America. Some Americans are all for the idea of legalization. Others are adamantly against it. However, most Americans have never even looked into the topic of legalization. They don’t know the pros and the cons of legalizing immigrants from different countries on the planet.
