Negatives Of Immigration

In recent years, the issue of immigration has become an important debate for everyone because it concerns to all citizens. There have two different type of opinions one opinion think that it brings more positive impact and another opinion believe it brings more negative influence. This essay will discuss why the positive effects of immigration to the UK more than the adverse effects it brings, also it will discuss this issue from two main aspects economic and social impacts also reference to the UK.

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.

In summary, I would concede that immigration exist negative effects. Despite that, I think that the positive influence of the immigration is more than its disadvantage. For instance, the economy of American mainly is based on high technology, because the most outstanding people who come from different countries make a great contribution on high technology. Moreover low skill immigration also makes contributions on cleaning, cooking, and waiter services. They buy food, clothes, house, which also promote the development of the economy.

For many Americans, the word "immigration" creates up an image of poor, uneducated Mexicans rushing across the border to find minimum wage jobs and opportunities for a better future.The issue of immigration has become a major debate for everyone. Although critics argued of negative impacts of immigrants such as drug trafficking, overcrowding and threatening of American culture, immigrants still have a very great impact in our society. Immigrants cause an impact in our society politically, economically and culturally. Immigrants arriving in a new country should make every effort to conform to the social norms of their new environment.

“America was indebted to immigration for her settlement and prosperity. That part of America which had encouraged them most had advanced most rapidly in population, agriculture and the arts”-James Madison

Immigration to the United States has attracted positive and negative reactions between the native and immigrants residents in America over the years. The United States has had four major waves of immigration since 1607s to late 20th century . The first wave occurred between 1607s and 1830s which had about 12 million immigrants entering the US. The second wave occurred between 1830s and1880s which had about 15.3 million immigrants . The third wave occurred between the 1890s and 1920s which had about 22.3 million immigrants entering the US. The fourth major wave was between 1965 and late 19th century . The fourth wave which is the most current wave had the highest number of immigrants which is estimated to be approximately above 30 million. Between 1924s and 1964s there was a low tide of immigration to the US due to a restrictive immigration quota introduced in the 1920s. In 1960s America president Lyndon assented the Immigration and Naturalization Act which considered the rights of the immigrants. In 1965 the number of immigrants allowed to enter the US was raised to 300,000 every year and has since increased gradually to the current one million per year. The number of legal immigrants reached 3.3 million after the Act got assented. In 1970s legal immigrants increase to 4.5 million while in 1980s they increased to 7.3. In 1990s the number of legal

Through hardship and labor, immigrants have overcome barriers of which they were imposed and denied many rights. Though many have argued that immigrants cause more harm to the economy than good, others state that “immigrants assimilate into the U.S. Labor Force well, and distribute labor roughly evenly” (Carliner). A great example would be how immigrants participate in the labor force at an increasing rate more than that of Americans (Toosi, 39). That being said, “the highest labor force growth rate over the 2008-18 period will be that of Hispanics, projected at 2.9 percent annually” (Toossi, 49). Apart from assimilation into the U.S. Labor Force, immigrants also have strong inter connected social ties from which they benefit giving each

“Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity,” says the 43 Governor of Florida. While being only 13% of the population, Immigrants encompass 16% of the labor force, thus adding to our gross domestic product or GDP. Some People may think that immigration has a negative impact on our economy. These people believe that by Immigrants having a high employment rate, native-born citizens are being pushed out of jobs, but that’s not true.

On Monday March 6, President Donald Trump signed a revised executive order that bans immigration from six Muslim countries, including Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Sudan. The previous executive order also included Iraq, but was dropped due to the state’s significant role in the war on ISIS. This order also bans all refugees from coming into the United States for 120 days for the purpose of stronger security in the U.S. But, there are a few flaws in this ban, like the fact that the none of the six countries have committed a terrorist act on U.S. soil in the past 40 years (Gibbs). The ban will prove to be more unsuccessful overall than effective in strengthening the national security. Trump’s travel ban will be detrimental to the global economy because it will

“In that country, rich or poor, a man was free, it was said; he did not have to go into the army, he did not have to pay out his money to rascally officials-he might do as he pleased, and count himself as good as any other man” (Sinclair, 26). This fantasy of American freedom led thousands of immigrants to migrate from 1865-1910 so that they, too, could try their luck at the American Dream. However, these immigrants soon came to realize that the fast-changing social, political, and economic environment they had come to would hold them back rather than let them reach their full potential. Although the immigrants had the basic freedoms that all Americans had, without familiarity of the customs and language of this new society, and exploitation by those in political and economic power that wanted to

The United States is known for being a nation of immigrants, recently immigration/refugees are often debated in moral terms of being right or wrong. There are major concerns in our country today of whether or not immigration is bad or good for the economy/businesses. Nearly one of four Americans are either immigrants or second generation born (US-born children of immigrants). According to the Census Bureau, in 1995 the total number of immigrants made up nine percent of our population and in 2014, immigrants made up thirteen percent of our population, over the last twenty years there was an increase in the immigrants in our population. So my question is does Immigration really have a negative effect on our country and economically or does

“An immigrant is a person who legally comes to a country to take up permanent residence. An “illegal” immigrant is a person who does so without following the established legal procedures of the destination country and who resides in that country without proper visas or other documents.” (source 1)Illegal immigration is changing the lives of many Americans today, and although all illegal immigrants are not bad and are not here by choice, or to hurt anyone, it still affects us each and every day. Illegal immigration has been a problem for many years, and it seems as if it is impossible to control, but according to former mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York it can be controlled. Giuliani stated

Countries around the world have some sort of acceptance for immigrants but the United States restrict the help of the immigrants nor have anything to do with them. Immigrants have constantly consumed an indispensable part in the United States economy, but it does not mean immigrants should be dealt with as illicit or undeserving people. The positives of immigration is that immigrants are skillful, qualified specialists who pay assessments and add to American prosperity.

Immigrants have been coming to America since the start of this country. However, there is a fine line between an illegal and legal immigrant. Although most immigrants come here in search of a better life for themselves, they do not think about the consequences the rest of the country must fac. Since they are not citizens, they do not receive some of the benefits that an American citizen has, including health care and public schooling. Although they do not have these benefits, they continue receive treatments at hospitals and attend schools, which Americans cannot afford. Illegal immigrants affect the United States’ economy, health care system, and education system in a negative way.

Immigration is the movement through which an individual permanently moves from their place of residence from one country to another. Immigration is a topic which divides political parties and general debate. Whilst some people see the positives of immigration, such as the filling of skill gaps in low and highly skilled jobs, others see the negatives of immigration, such as the strain on services such as the NHS, schools and housing.
