Immigration To The United States

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

Illegal immigration has been over the years a huge problem for United States. The illegal immigrants have come into the country for different ways like the Mexico border, the Pacific Ocean, and some of the have entered through a visit visa. But after a period, they stayed illegally. The immigration phenomena is a doubled edged sword. On the one hand, it provides a boost to the local economy because they are not paid so much while they are more productive. The other factor is these people do not pay taxes, and their employers also do not pay their taxes.

Immigration, it started off in America and it was a very common thing that was talked about in that very time period. Immigrants are individuals that move from their country to other ones and this case it was America. There was a lot that arrived in America, there were lots of Irish, also Germans, as well as Asians, also Chinese, or Japanese, Greek, Polish, Slovak, Russians and Croatians too. There were a lot of different cultures, religions and ethnicity that came from all over the world that it made America pretty diverse. They all had their own reason to come to America whether it would be to get a job and send to their families back home or to escape a very horrible event that was taking place in their country and they possibly needed to

Immigrantion is an apperance that people choose where they want to live; people from all over the world would like to immigrant to the countries such as Russia, Germany or Canada. There is no denying that many people choose to come to the United States and be a citizen of this country because America is the greatest country in the world so far. The United States as the largest population of immigrantion is a controversy thing; it has been talked by many authors; they gave their opinions no matter they are from this country or they are immigrants. Immigration has bring either bad thing or good thing to the United States; different people has different views such as every coin has two sides.

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

In the U.S.’ growing population, not only are the number of Americans growing each day, but also the number of illegal aliens. While immigrants brought a mass variety of races and culture to the U.S., only recently has it become a bigger, more illegal problem. Change needs to happen with this problem for it is illegal and the country knows what is happening. While immigration has been with the U.S. from the very beginning, it’s becoming worse with every year.

The vast majority of people living in the United States are descendants of immigrants, and yet majority of them are against them. It is quickly forgotten that America was built on immigrants that wanted a new life. A life free from harsh government, and the freedom from forced religion. The original settlers were immigrants that stole this land; immigrants continued to come for years. It is not a newly constructed concept that immigrants have always been a problem, ask any Native American. One used to be able to freely travel the world without visas and migration has always happened; without the need of passports. When one hears the word "immigrants," the first thing they think of is Mexican and that is where they are wrong. People migrate to the U.S. from all different parts of the world like Europe, Africa, Asia, etc.. Mexico is targeted constantly because of borders leading into the U.S, the access can be a little more realistic to obtain. Unlike Europe and Asia and all other countries, the access to the U.S is more challenging. There are those that are granted visas, with the no intention of returning back to their country. It happens more often than one thinks, and its happening but that is never talked about. No one seems to want to see the bigger picture here. There is an ugly label stamped on immigrants.

Immigration has played a huge role in settling America. Once known as “the melting pot” America has a wider diverse population. The history of immigration is what built America and created that diversity. Over the last 150 years, immigration laws have been enacted and changed to meet the demands of the influx of immigrants. Both Republicans and Democrats see immigration as a political battlefield. Each party blames the other for the lack of cooperation and lack of progress in passing legislation. Obama has used immigration as one of his main platforms in his campaign to become president. Obama’s immigration policies have shocked America recently in the news. Lastly, I will discuss my views on immigration and what I think our politicians should do to improve on policy and reform.

Controversy regarding illegal immigration in the United States of America is an ongoing issue, and is in dire need of a solution to restore jobs for American citizens and revive the US economy. According to The Rasmussen Reports, a “survey found 51 percent of Americans believe they are competing for jobs against illegal immigrants living in the country without work permits”(Silva, 1). The competition for jobs, favors illegal immigrants due to their lower labor costs. The majority of the American workers know they are competing with illegal aliens for jobs because they will work for so little for each paycheck. Millions of Immigrants come to the country each year, taking up valuable jobs that citizens could fill (Foster, 1).

For good reason, it is often said the United States is a nation of immigrants. Almost every person in the United States is descended from someone who arrived from another country. This article tells immigration to the United States from colonial times to the present. The focus is on individuals who paid their own way, rather than slaves and indentured servants.

George W. Bush once said, “I’ve seen what immigrant families add to our country. They bring the values that made us a great nation to begin with.” In light of the recent presidential election, more and more attention has been brought to the question of what to do with the influx of illegal immigrants coming from the southern border. Most of America’s undocumented population has traveled a treacherous journey from Latin American countries and through the southern border. Many politicians have proposed a mass deportation of up to eleven million of these workers without thinking of the possible repercussions. Though it seems that illegal immigrants hurt the country from an economic standpoint, they are essential to the success of the American

Would you like to take a few minutes and think about the effect that immigration has in the United States of America? There are certain people that believes America would be better off without immigrants when in fact, America need immigrants more than they would ever know. The reason for implying this, is because immigrants work hard and do the jobs that the majority of Americans would not do, immigrants help boost trade, and they help the U.S build and retain their human capital.

An immigration policy in the United States assessed to be one of the boiling issues of political debates for more than two decades which drives to its foreign policy through consideration on national and societal security in its soil, particularly in a global arena. Some might express that auspicious immigration policy can be a threat to national security of the United States, in contrast, others may argue that it does not pose such a threat to its soil. Since end of 1800s the United States is considered to be one of the preeminent immigrant subsidiary nations till end of 20th centuries. As a result of auspicious policies on immigrants, on the contrary, lack of appropriate mechanisms in order to control over the flow of immigrants into its soil, “more than eleven million undocumented immigrants out of forty-one million have been well nested in its soil”, according to the credible source. Thus, a former policy on immigration must have been brought both positive and negative consequences to the United States, particularly for its social, economic, political, and security environments. Nonetheless, there is not clear and specific information on how many of immigrants are considered to be immigrants with assimilation or without assimilation. What are their pros and cons for the sovereignty of United States? Therefore, which option or combination of options best address national and societal security in the United States?

Camarota (2007, p.1), director of the Immigration Studies Center, reports there are 1.6 million documented and undocumented migrants take up residence in the United States every year. Camarota goes on to say that the immigrants occupy one-eighth of the total population who settled in the U.S. The flood of aliens, to a significant degree, hinders the development of the United States. Therefore, the issues which relate to immigration must not be neglected, and the government should keep the number of migrants from increasing since immigration reduces the work opportunity for citizens, increases the cost for the government, and leads to rising crime rates in the United States.
