Immigration has been a major problem for countless years that seems to never seize. Illegal immigrants do not hold the rights that U.S. residents possess and manage to live a hard life because of the mere opportunities that come their way. U.S. residents are allowed to vacate and visit the places immigrants come from, yet they have to risk their lives in hopes of a better life. Where is the equality? The unfair treatment arises from them simply being illegal, however everyone deserves equality regardless of their background and origin. The deep stigma and outlook on immigrants in today’s society can be quite controversial. The government should indeed allow immigrants to find a place to call home without the use of strict immigration

Immigration can be seen as an important role to maintain diversity and a steady economy in many countries, including the United States. However, while people are trying to immigrate to locations where they would get better opportunities for themselves and their families, they are instead being greeted by death or closed doors, caused by awful conditions when trying to cross the border or the inability to gain access to a country with better opportunities. Immigrants are forced to cross illegally to improve their and their family’s lives due to the difficulty of attaining citizenship or visa; millions of families have been separated and they have to live not knowing what has happened to their loved ones. The trauma of an incident like this can impact someone’s life forever, and in order to ensure people’s safety and wellbeing, everyone should have a real chance to gain citizenship, disregarding their country of origin. The path to citizenship should be made easier and more inclusive so that people who are searching for opportunities are given the chance to improve their lives.

For the past few decades, illegal immigration has been one of the most controversial topics in American politics. Everyone seems to have something to say on the matter. Consequently, it is no surprise that with the upcoming Presidential election, illegal immigration, particularly as it relates to illegal Mexican immigrants, is at the forefront. The simple truth is, America is a nation of immigrants. It always has been. Admittedly, the U.S. has the right and duty to control entry to and exit from its borders. However, mass deportations and immigration bans are not the answer. The United States must strike a balance between deterring illegal activities and the draining of social resources and remaining true to fabric of this nation and the continued

Immigration and deportation reformation has been one of the hot topics in the 2016 election. Many have chosen which candidate to vote for based on their point of view on immigration and deportation matters. Some supported Donald Trump because he promised to deport all illegal immigrants if he becomes president while others supported Hillary Clinton because she was against mass deportation. In most cases, mass deportation threat has been focused on illegal Mexican immigrants; being the largest group of illegal immigrants and the proximity of Mexico to the U.S. They have been labelled as criminals, rapists, and drug dealers and some have suggested that they should all the deported first. In a population of about 11.3 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., and a population of over 6 million Mexicans, it is evident that a mass deportation scheme will affect them most. However, it can also be proven that illegal Mexican immigrants contribute to the economy more than any other illegal immigrants. Providing a pathway to citizenship for law abiding illegal Mexican immigrants and deporting only treacherous ones will not only improve the U.S.’s international relationship, it will also help keep families together and keep hardworking immigrants who contribute to the country’s economy.

Until 2014, there’re over 11.1 million of undocumented immigrants in United State. More than half of them are clustered in California, Texas, Florida, New York, and New jersey (Sara Wise 2017). The largest number of unauthorized immigrants comes from Mexico, then Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras and China. About 60 percent of the unauthorized population has been in U.S for at least a decade, according to the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute. As outlined by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in April 2017, President Donald Trump’s plans to dramatically increase deportations are causing panic in immigrant communities across the country (Vivian Yee 2017). Whether the US government should construct the deportation process has been

The student organization, CHANGE, hosted a rally on Thursday to educate the public and support the undocumented community here at Central Connecticut State University and around the United States.

Each year about 2.5 million Illegal immigrants attempt to cross the border, only about 100,000 and less make it through. Illegal immigrants come to America for a better life. They have gradually increased over time since the 1800’s. Illegal immigrants can come from all parts of the world, but most them come from spanish speaking countries (South and Central America). Most Americans believe illegal immigrants are a problem to the U.S.. Also, Illegal immigrants are believed to be bringing crime, but that 's only a small percent of them. One act committed by a criminal cannot be used to judge all virtuous men and women. There are different ways to enter the U.S. illegally, the basic and the only methods are by land, sea, and even air (airplane). The most commonly used method is by land, crossing by land allows the migrator to have a higher chance of succeeding. A high amount of migrants come to America for a better job opportunity and/or escaping criminal activity back in their home country. Although the reason for their arrival is constantly repeated to most Americans, they still don’t understand the situation. Illegal immigrants are stilled leered by many Americans, so deportation becomes a possible solution. Deportation could decrease their population, but it could open a gap to another issue, the U.S. economy. The U.S. economy is something delicate, something that can’t be played around with. Investing in deporting illegal immigrants won’t do anything positive for the

Former president Obama once said, “My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too” (“Barack Obama”). This idea of immigration has caused a lot of controversy in the past year. Since Donald Trump became president in 2016, he has begun talk of phasing out DACA- a program which currently allows over 790,000 undocumented immigrants to live safely in America. The removal of DACA is immoral and should not be allowed because it is legally unnecessary, is going to wreak havoc on the lives of those protected by the program, and will cause a strain on the economic well-being of America.

The number of immigrants unlawfully in the U.S. has been steady at 11 million.( number of illegal immigrants in the u.s. Holds steady at all million). Most of these immigrants aren’t allowed to attend university because of the issue that they aren’t legal U.S citizens. ( “I Can’t Go to College Because I Don’t Have Papers”: Incorporation Patterns Of Latino Undocumented Youth.) Everyone as in immigrants any other race should have an opportunity on college access and better education. Immigrants or any other race should not be discriminated by others if all they want is a better life for their children , undocumented parents come here so that their children can have a better education. All immigrants are living people such as white , any other color , residences or not they can feel the same way as an other color of person with a residence

Did you know there are 8,194,000 children in the United States with at least one immigrant parent? 8,194,000 children whose families are being threatened by the Trump administration's recent changes in immigration policies. Immigration reform has been a topic of controversy for decades. Most Americans blame Mexican immigrants for the United States economic problems and many believe undocumented immigration causes high crime rates. However recent studies have disproved that undocumented immigrants are a threat to American citizens. When people think of immigrants they think of an outdated caricature that doesn't truly represent all of the 11 million undocumented immigrants.

America is considered to be the “land of opportunity,” yet ironically, its doors are closed to the vast majority of people seeking to become citizens and pursue this opportunity. Legal immigration to the United States is a complicated process that is generally limited to those that have been petitioned by family members or employers, or have fled their home country as refugees. Most unauthorized immigrants do not meet these requirements, and even those that do may have to wait years or even decades. This leaves many with the choice to either immigrate illegally, or not immigrate at all. Those who choose the former receive criticism from Americans that do not understand why they refuse to just “get in line” and become legitimate citizens, but this line already has 4 million people, and for many there is no line at all. The naturalization process is specifically designed to protect the national security of the country, but there are some immigrants that could potentially be hard-working, law-abiding citizens who are denied this opportunity due to the complexity of the process. It would be beneficial to make a simpler pathway to citizenship for these immigrants specifically, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants, strengthen the economy, and keep families together.

Knowing that the U.S. has a large percent of the world’s immigrants it seems the most efficient thing to do is address the undocumented population. It is important to first acknowledge the break down of immigrants in the U.S. according to the Migration Policy Institute, “In 2013, close to 47 percent of immigrants (19.3 million) were naturalized U.S. citizens. The remaining 53 percent (22.1 million) included lawful permanent residents, unauthorized immigrants, and legal residents on temporary visas, such as students and temporary workers” (2). The immigrant community is a lot more than just undocumented people. As shown in the statistics above 47 percent of them are U.S. citizens and of those who aren’t have other types of approval of entrance

For many, the United States is more than nation of freedom. By September of 2016, 84,995 refugees had been admitted to country, the largest amount since 2002. All of which are fleeing persecution and harm from their country of origin. However, hundreds are denied entry to the U.S., not for suspicion of being a terrorist, or for criminal charges, but because a judge doesn’t deem a threat serious enough. Should the criteria for asylum be altered to allow immigrants who suffer from other forms of maltreatment to gain asylum?
