Throughout this day in age, the topic of immigration is in the forefront of issues in today’s society having two different point-of-views and many opinions to go along. I agree with Kinsley’s overall opinion that the United States has no obligation to be fair and take more immigrants in under their wing than they can handle and give support financially if needed. During this essay, I will be focusing on the topic of immigration including benefits and receiving education in the United States and will discuss my expectations I have when traveling to a foreign country. The United States has many immigrants who are legal citizens from across the globe. On the other hand, many are illegal while still receiving benefits from the country like …show more content…
When traveling, I expect to ultimately be treated with respect however, before traveling, I have the understanding that I am guest in their country and I need to omit respect for their culture and beliefs. Further, when I travel and no matter how much I enjoy a country, I do not expect to be a legal citizen if I so take it upon myself to stay permanently or have an anchor baby. I would apply for citizenship and go through the proper way to gain legality in that country. Although it causes great economic cost for the Untied States to continue to take in immigrants, I believe the biggest benefit of immigration is that it has had an overall positive affect on the United States workforce and technology. It creates a positive, competitive work atmosphere that can been seen all around the country. While many argue that immigration has negative affect on the United States future, Rosenbaum stated static in his article. “ In the long term, allowing these immigrants improved access to higher education is likely to improve their contributions to our society and reduce the burdens they place on it. It will only aid us to help those who are willing and eager to improve their own situations to do so.” (Rosenbaum 231). This is a perfect example to why the Untied States should continue to allow legal immigration in the Untied States. Rosenbaum’s article changes my perceptive although
Is immigration good for the economy? According to John Engler, "Why immigration is good for U.S. growth," Passing immigration reform would provide the opportunity for Washington to show Americans that policymakers can work together to solve big problems and boost the economy at the same time." If we were to let immigrants to come to America it would help out a lot of businesses. According to John Engler, " Immigration reform would improve economic growth. Reform would also increase U.S. employment and wages." According to John Engler," Today, there is a global competition for talent, and we cannot afford to lose out to other nations."America needs immigrants to make their businesses to flourish.
Every individual, no matter who they are, will all face challenges that result from their backgrounds and cultures. Born in Calcutta, India and later moving to the United States, Amin Ahmad was an individual who discovered this harsh truth first-hand. In his essay, “I Belong Here,” Ahmad reflects on his experience of being treated differently from those around him based off his cultural background. He analyzes the emotional barrier that forms between the journey of immigration and the continuous feeling of inferiority based solely on the desire to belong. The article is written to provide a different point of view; one focused on introducing to the world the challenges and emotions immigrants face after starting the journey towards a new life.
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
First of all, immigrants positively benefit the United States in which most of the time is not understood. One of the most important political rights is that all persons born in the U.S. are automatically citizens. Immigrants have been able to live in any place where they please, buy a house, land, or business without restrictions helping the government’s money cycle. Immigrants can seek for jobs, except for certain government jobs that are restricted to U.S. citizens, on an equal balance in ways that bring new

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.
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.
In the late 1800s and early 1900’s, there has been an increase on immigration in the US including from Germans to Europeans and Chinese. Recently in the US, there has been a rise on immigration coming from our neighboring country, Mexico. They cross the border knowing the risks but all they have in mind are the new opportunities and better way of life. Immigration is such a heated and controversial topic in the US but it’s something that we have to address. Even politicians and artists, such as former president Barack Obama, have been helping out legal and illegal immigrants on their behalf and have been raising their voice. Immigrants are an essential part to the US and should have the opportunity to stay here in the United States without fear of being deported. They come here for a better education, a better way of living, and help boost up the country’s economy.
Immigration, the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. Immigration is a highly important action to keep continuous for the future of the United States. It is important to keep in the future or add to the future or other countries. Immigration is a major factor in many countries because it boosts the economy, mixes cultures, and keeps families together, legal immigration should be allowed.
THIS HOUSE WOULD OFFER INCREASED AID TO DEVELOPING WORLD COUNTRIES THAT ENCOURAGE AND ACCEPT LARGE INFLUXES OF IMMIGRANTS
Immigration is a highly discussed topic, ranging from how many immigrants should be permitted into the United States to should we limit the type of jobs immigrants receive? On one side, there are people who feel that legal status should immediately be granted citizenship based on merit and need while others believe citizenship is a right. In this paper, I’ll be arguing how the government should allow for those who meet certain requirements to have an easier pathway to achieving citizenship.
Each president that enters office has many different opinions on many different topics. There is no exception regarding President Obama and President Trump. One of the topics their opinions differ on us immigration. In 2012, Obama put in place a policy called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) ("Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)."). This policy made it possible for children immigrants to be freed from the risk of deportation and granted the ability to work for a certain amount of time. DACA is among one of President Obama's policies that President Trump vowed to change.
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?
Today many immigrants come to the US in order to live a better lifestyle, but those who settle down and raise a family might find themselves living in a fear not knowing what will happen to their children if they were to get deported. Even if they happen to get a green card, there is no certain that they may live in peace. Due to the immigration system that may cause immigrants to go through a process that may take up months, or even years until they are eligible to become U.S. citizens.
