Large Amounts Of Immigrants

Traditionally immigrants are faced numerous challenges on a daily basis. America is known as the place where there is a chances to succeed, a place where you can be free. Numerous Immigrants came to America with the goal that they could have a more noteworthy plausibility at prevailing in life. Settlers went out on a limb a when coming to America, for some it worked out well however for others they had a troublesome time here. Regardless of the battles that the outsiders experienced, for example, emerging from others, being isolated from their families, and breaking their way of life, the settlers are as yet thankful to be in America since they were in preferable conditions over they were in their country.

The United States has been the land of opportunity for immigrants. It is a place where immigrants from all over the world come to build a better dream and future for their families and leave from poverty, they come with nothing but determination. One thing that every immigrant brings with them is their culture. A person's culture is strongly tied to the country where they grew up. It is tied to their relationship with their family. Many people come to America from so many different places all over the world. For this reason, people call America a melting pot of cultures immigrants are striving for a better future even though when they migrate to the USA they don’t know the consequences they will face and struggle to be successful living in the United States.

Day in and day out many immigrants enter the United States of America in search of greener pastures. This greener pasture includes higher educational prospects and lucrative jobs. However, life usually does not turn out as many of them usually anticipate. The expectation they usually have prior to their entry to the United States is partly due to the all rosary and nice things they hear about America. They hear such nice things from the media and also from diaspora’s who return from America to their homeland who usually don’t share their entire experiences with them. There have been quite a number of reports and research findings that outline the various challenges that are faced by immigrants in America. I personally share some of these issues as an international student in a foreign country. Prior to coming to Metropolitan State University, I had colleagues who told me about the school and their excellent environments that facilitate learning. Also other friends who were in America made me aware of the opportunity to work alongside schooling which made me more interested as I needed financial aid. With all these palatable information in mind, I did apply for the school and even though the tuition fee was quite expensive considering my socio economic background, I did apply having the mindset of working to meet up certain financial needs. Upon arrival in America, I realized that I was given a fraction of the entire picture. I wasn't allowed to work outside of campus,

In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s many immigrants came to the United States for a better way of life. I chose this particular question because I am first generation American.

In Texas June 5, 2015, A Salvadoran, Mauricio Hernandez, was sentenced to 50 years in prison and faces deportation after his term for raping his own baby (Immigration Issues 2015, Par. 3). Three illegal Immigrants, Uriel Ramirez-Perez, Darwin Zuniga-Rocha, and Eliseo Mateo Perez, were sentenced to time served in jail and deportation after prison term for first-degree sexual abuse (Immigration Issues 2015, Par.10). What do these two incidence have in common; they were here in this country illegally. With the number of Central Americans crossing over the border illegally the crime rate as reflected in this occurrence. However, these crimes are not a representative of all illegal Immigrants but the numbers and crimes reveals otherwise. Since President Ronald Reagan signed a sweeping immigration bill into law in 1986 (Kirkwood, Par.1). It gave an incentive for others to come to America illegally and the U.S. failing to regain control of the borders since then (Kirkwood, Par.11). Due to this bill, that provided amnesty to approximately 3 million illegal immigrants (Kirkwood, P.12). In which allowed an influx of daily illegal entry into the U.S. with laws that allowed them to be deported due crimes committed while in the America. Illegal Immigrants should not be allowed amnesty because of drugs, the increase of crime and poverty.

To be able afford a home in the United States, some type of immigration status is needed because taxes and rent needs to be paid. Also, obtaining a job with a reasonable income needs to be received to be able to pay the rent, otherwise many immigrants remain homeless, live in shelters, and live with a family member or friends.

Every year, thousands of immigrants, both legal or illegal, come to the U.S. in hope for a chance at a better life. People sacrifice so much for their families and for themselves, to live out the american dream. For immigrants, the American dream is an idea to live life that does not involve war, poverty, or any forms of a corrupt government. Which is why many come to the U.S. to find and receive those freedoms and benefits that all americans have. Sadly, america is not so kind to those foreigners.

Isn’t it troubling that over 42.1 million immigrants settled in America in 2015? Immigration in America is a concerning issue today. Immigrants coming to America did not just occur overnight, they began to arrive a very long time ago. Although immigrants have been in America for a very long time, the number of immigrants coming to the US have increased over time. Immigration became a problem in the United States because of all the illegal immigrants arriving in America, and the overabundance of immigrants in America causing job competition. Overtime, it changed by the different groups of immigrants coming to America such as the large number of Mexican immigrants, whom many are controversial.

Immigrants that came to America were pursuing a secure life for themselves and better lives for their children or future children; they envisioned America as the land of opportunity and a prosperous country in which to pursue any endeavor they chose, but no one recognized what was happening to the other half of the country and its citizens--the reality of the thousands of people living in the streets and going months without work--until they arrived. The idea was to come to America and find the American dream, but no one realized just how hard that would be until it was too late. There has always been a false premise of the American dream and the land of opportunity, and the immigrants discovered this the hard way.

Although some may argue that the United States is the “land of opportunity,” or the home of the “American dream,” the reality when it comes to the matter of whether or not the U.S. is a desirable immigration destination falls flat in that it is nothing better than an advertisement jingle on television, just a catchy phrase and tune. The truth of the matter is that the United States, as it was in the 20th century as presented in the provided sources was not the ideal immigration destination as the United States United States presented immigrants with perils of limited opportunities presented to the immigrants and unsafe labor and living conditions.

Every year, people from different cultures and ethnicity become citizens of the United States. However, some people see this as a bad thing, which is where other people see this as a problem. America should be a nation where it should not matter what your race or ethnicity is to others. America was built upon the ideas and dreams of others. We should be promoting those ideals to immigrants so they can become citizens. Immigrants should assimilate into American culture because it could affect a work place, the topic is getting less attention, and they do a lot to come into America.

In 2016, only 55.5% of American voters turned out to vote in the 2016 election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. (Voter Turnout in the United States Presidential Elections.) The fact that these statistics are only based on American voters makes many people wonder how much of an impact it would make if immigrants voted as well. But here is the catch: immigrants cannot vote at all in the United States unless they are actual citizens of the United States, and this is one of the problems Project I is looking to fix. Project I is a government funded project that is targeting the education and housing of immigrant women and children. The focus on women and children has to do with the fact that it is harder for women, specifically single mothers

The great influx of immigrants who came to the United States during the nineteenth century faced xenophobic sentiments from everybody— commoners and government officials alike. Consequently, the immigrants who came to America in search of economic opportunity were attributed with the characteristics of filth, laziness, and inferiority. Accordingly, editorial cartoons of the time encapsulated these nativist views held by Anglo-Saxons. One such cartoon, “The Stranger at the Gate”, depicted a rugged immigrant carrying various pieces of luggage labeled “disease”, “poverty”, and “anarchy” (Stranger). Through the use of symbolism, the cartoon reflects the popular sentiment that immigrants are filthy and offer America nothing but disease and poverty.

The cause of various epidemics, diseases, outbreaks of war, unemployment in other countries like China, Europe, etc. made people immigrate to the United States to cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities. These cities also attracted people due to various developed technologies like lights, streetcars, shops, etc. It was a time when these cities had job opportunities available. Other factors like industrialization, transport through railroads and ships also brought a lot of immigrants to the country. The immigrants came and started doing jobs that they were familiar with. They were ready to adjust to any conditions. They led a pretty hard life. Families crowded together in a single room and worked hard to earn the money.

The United States is home to about 42 million immigrants. This number is an estimate of the reported immigrants not including the non-reported immigrants. The United States of America is the land of the free, home of the brave and home to immigrants since the beginning of time.
