Opposing Arguments About Immigration

I would like to formally state how I deeply disagree on how you would carry out your immigration reform if you do end up winning the presidency. On your campaign website, you claim that you will build a wall across the southern border, round up all those who had entered illegally, and you will make Mexico pay for the building of the wall. These ideas of yours are inhumane and goes against what the U.S. government stands for. The better alternative is we can give them a six month period, like Ben Carson said, for them to register for citizenship. Those six months would give them time to register for citizenship, get a job, and show that they have not caused any harm to this country.

Immigration has been a burning issue lately, particularly after Donald Trump’s immigration ban in the United States of America. It has been a topic that families discuss every morning with breakfast. Despite many concerns related to immigration, it has several positive benefits that mostly outweighs the negativity. People bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration. Many immigrants in the United States are good workers who don't depend upon any public welfare and mostly help in the overall development of the economy. As a country made by immigrants, we must not forget the fact that immigrants have helped to build cities and create a path of development form Google to iPhones (Gray & Furman, 2012). These facts are secluded, and some related arguments with different content have been repeated for years and continue. Immigrants have a lot to give the United States rather than to take, especially when it comes to economic terms.

In today’s American society, there are few issues more divisive in politics than immigration. It’s an issue that’s argued in nearly every debate, with Republicans and Democrats with their own views and thoughts on the matter. The issue goes as far as dividing homes, young liberals arguing with their conservative parents on who is correct.

Often the subject of immigration is seen in a negative light in the Christian community. According to Matthew Soerens, Christians tend to view immigration as a threat to the economic and social stability of the United States. Soerens compares this attitude of hostility to that of the Pharaoh in the old-testament who saw the growth of the Hebrew nation as a threat and forced them into slavery. However, a Soerens point out that hostility is not the only option open for Christians. Soerens remarked that the Pharaoh under which Joseph served, many years earlier, actually saw the Hebrews and an economic opportunity. This event demonstrated second option which is to view the growth in immigration as an opportunity not only for economic growth but

Illegal immigration is a leading contentious issue in politics and news with recent crimes and Presidential nominees. All articles were in agreement that the largest portion of illegal immigrants are from Mexico. Many of the arguments against illegal immigration are that they raise costs due to education, health care, incarceration and crime expenses, as well welfare expenses. My original hypothesis is that illegal immigration results in a net economic loss due to those reasons.

According to CNS news, 88 percent of population growth in the U.S. over the next 50 years. For that reason, immigration has become a controversial issue today. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party have had debates about it. Democratic candidates are in favor of immigration reform, while Republicans candidates are against immigration reform. Some democrats’ candidates are Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley, and Bernie Sanders.

Undocumented families and individuals are a key to America’s working economy. President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election was well known for his thoughts about illegal immigration where he believes those who are not in America legally, should go back to where they came from. Illegal immigration has been happening for over generations where undocumented immigrants want a better life than they had in their previous country. Without illegal immigrants, our nation wouldn't be where it is without them, therefore, it is essential that they should not be deported back to their country.

One of the biggest arguments of people who are against immigration reform is that they say immigrants just come here to benefit from Temporary Assistant for Needy Families (TANF) but in reality white people and African Americans are the ethnic groups that receive more benefits. Sean R. Hogan is Associate Professor at the University of Fullerton that teaches social welfare policy. He states that 52.9 percent of African Americans use (TANF). Subsequent to African Americans is the Caucasian with 19.5 percent of people using (TANF). In reality Hispanics only use 17.2 percent – lower than African Americans and Caucasian (Hogan). This demonstrates that immigrants are here to work, to make of this country a better place, not to ask for benefits. Another

It appears that Senator Rob Portman is a bit more open to the idea of supporting immigration reforms in a positive way. He voted no against the bill that require hospitals to report illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment. That bill had the intention to place restrictions on those who came in and were not documented aliens. It would be possible to deny them care and have employers be held financially responsible for the patient if so. This is a big factor pertaining to businesses. While I do believe that all immigrants should be here legally, I don't think that if they are severely injured that they should be denied any type of care that could save their lives. He also voted to extend the period in which illegal aliens could stay in the

Homer is a very small town in Alaska, during this time Alaska was voting for illegal immigration.

One thing that bothers me in life is the constant debate about immigration. As the latest election has shown, most people who argue about immigration do not argue with facts. They argue with their emotions, such as saying things like “Immigrants are taking our jobs” without posting any sources to back up their claim. The reality is that the United States immigration situation is radically different than it it was portrayed during the election. Instead of their being too many immigrants, their is actually not enough, which is hurting the economy. Texas for example already had a doctor shortage which was only made worse whenever Trump announced his travel ban. Immigrants do jobs that most Americans don’t want to do, they have a much harder time getting in the

Since the last Presidential election, many arguments have been sparked on current immigration policy in the United States. Whether it be mayoral intervention on Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) raids, or deploying the National Guard to the US Mexico Border, immigration has been at the forefront of the latest greatest political kerfuffles. Politicians and lawmakers have argued for decades on the viability of laws and regulations protecting, as well as directing, immigration in the United States. According to the American Immigration Council, federal law only allows for 675,000 immigrants a year. Realistically, however, this is nowhere close to the number of aliens that entire the United States each year. Unfortunately, current immigration

The walls are caving inside one’s hiding place and all one hears is the screams of their cherished friends being brutally assaulted by law enforcement that is suppose to be our protectors, who turn out to be the devil hidden in the flesh. One could nothing, but continue to hear the screaming and pray that the terror does not find him or her. One continues to cower under fear and wait for the sun to rise again to live under fear for another day. Each day goes by with one always looking behind his or her shoulders wondering if they, immigration, are coming for them and are the people, he or she trusts, will sell them out.The thoughts of abandonment, fear, and betrayal are constantly running through the families that do not have a piece of paper,

As a nation founded and built by immigrants, regardless of the treatment the different immigrant groups have received from the U.S., the very notion of immigration is an essential componant in understanding our nation’s identity. I believe it’s important to recognize and know one’s personal culture and background in their family line. If we are called to remember that somewhere down our family’s history there are immigrants who decided to migrate then I believe that can have a humbling effect, and, as a result, decrease the likelihood of xenophobic behavior to spread across our political system and the social and economic discourse that surrounds immigration. Thus, preserving one’s own culture is important, because it allows us to realize that

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.
