Immigration has become an issue all around the world. Everyone have different opinions on how immigrants affect our society. Is immigration good for the economy, the employment rate for immigrants and their pay, how the ban could have a major impact on the U.S., why do people migrate, and DACA (deferred action for childhood arrivals). This essay will hopefully answer any question about immigration and we should handle the ban.

In every presidential administration, immigration policies are significant area of debate. There are many policies that are proposed in Trump Administration due to differing opinion of the administration. Currently policies on immigration include on Deferred Action for Childhood (DACA) which is protecting more than 800,000 immigrants in the United States. Moreover it also includes policies on increasing wages for H1-B visas. (H1-B Visa). Additionally, the Raise Act, (Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act, it essentially sends 50000 visas to countries that send few immigrants over to the USA to promote diversity. Trump Administration has proposed to end diversity visas to protect its local citizens and employment. All these proposed changes have both positive and negative impact on GDP (Gross Domestic Product), employment/unemployment rates, government taxes.

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.

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.

With over 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally, the issue of illegal immigrants continue to divide America. “The high level of illegal immigration from the Southern border and other Latin American countries has fueled continuing debate about U.S immigration policies” (Carrosco). The majority of those who enter the country illegally are here to find a better future or as we call it the American Dream. According to the Pew research center, “The number of unauthorized immigrants in 2007 was 12.2 million and this number has dropped to 11.3 million by 2014” (Immigration and Migration)…The number of undocumented immigrants has been decline over years. As more and more undocumented immigrants pour into this country, stricter laws are

On the other hand, Immigration has been and will remain as a huge debate. It is expected to hear different opinions, see Americans react, look at things, and judge things differently, and have different minds, especially when you live in such a country like the United States of America. The social country is what it should be called due to its immigration and having people come here from all over the world. Yet, even today, we still observe different ways of thinking about immigration. Should some countries be banned! And some people departed! Haas and Frezzo emphasized that economic, social and cultural rights need to be addressed further to ensure human development now we will take a close look at migration, one of the very important topics when we talk about rights is right to live simply because nobody decides where to be born so people migrate, but today our society favors some groups over the others. With all my honesty and humanity, I even support illegal immigration, but as an educated, civilized, and an open-minded person, I understand why might someone NOT support illegal immigration, and I don't blame this way of thinking. With all my respect and based on what I know, I believe that Haiti has the biggest rate with illegal immigration to the United States of America. Most people who don't support illegal immigration use the Caribbean as their great example, why? Because, well, one they don't pay taxes, two we know nothing about them, and third, they could honestly be criminals escaping and that is of course expected to come from any country in the world not just poor countries. What's the problem with not paying taxes? Two reasons. One, it is honestly not fair for someone to be busting their ass working all day (like me and you) and getting ripped paying taxes at the end of the year, while someone else who is not even a legal resident is just having fun putting all the money he makes in his pocket. Kind of not fair right!! This is a country of one law and everyone should be treated equally under one government, when you're not paying your taxes whether you making more or less money. As I said I support illegal immigration, but let's be clear on why most people don't. The issue here with not paying

The outcome of the upcoming election will pull our country into two drastically different direction depending on who takes office. This election, has been anything but normal. Representing the republicans is Donald Trump, who is a businessman who doesn’t even portray the traditional republican views. On the opposite side there is Hillary Clinton, an insider who is saying what she needs to say to get the votes. With Trump’s unpredictability and Hillary’s lies, it is clear that the country is in for a major change.

To highlight the issue of immigration some brief facts must be addressed to fully understand what the situation the United States currently faces. According to the 2016 Current Population Survey (CPS), immigrants and their U.S.-born children now number approximately 84.3 million people, or 27 percent of the overall U.S. population (Zong & Batalova, 2017). Every year the

Opponents of immigration believe that immigrants only serve as cheap labor. Such cheap labor makes them the first choice as workers to hire for businesses hoping to save some money. As these immigrants fill up the already few American job, hardly any jobs are left for the native-born Americans. These

Attending college is seen as an essential and exhilarating stage of one’s life. From admissions to paying tuition, pursing higher education seems stressful enough. However, every year, tens of thousands of undocumented seniors graduate without a game plan and face bigger challenges due to their illegal status. Immigration is a huge problem in the United States. It is understandable that our country cannot simply welcome everyone to reside here. However, there are millions of immigrants who have already settled here and are given an extremely difficult time living a peaceful life.  Various proposals have been made to accommodate those that have settled and been living here for years; especially families that have children and further generations

To this day, more and more immigrants are coming to the United states in search of religious freedom, escape from war, fleeing from political unrest, and in search for a life that can provide basic needs for themselves and their children. Some of these immigrants are here legally and some are also here illegally. In 2003, the government estimated that 8-12 million illegal immigrants lived in the United States at that time and to this day there are 15.7-19.7 million illegal immigrants living here now. (http://www.cairco.org/issues/how-many-illegal-aliens-reside-united-states). In 2014, it was determined that immigrants as a whole made up 13.3 percent of the United States population and there is a total of 42.4 immigrants altogether (http://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/frequently-requested-statistics-immigrants-and-immigration-united-states).This leads to a great deal of problems in our country that are beginning to be addressed in an extreme manner.

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?

In 1987, Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa, a 19 year-old from Mexico crossed the border from Mexico to America. At the time, he couldn’t speak English and worked as a farmhand in California. He left Mexico in desperation, hoping for a better life. He wondered at first why he chose to leave his family, because at least he had that before he left. Yet, 29 years later, Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa has the prefix “Dr.” before his name and is now known as one of the greatest brain surgeons at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. But Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa didn’t enter the country legally. As an illegal immigrant, the United States didn’t make it simple for him to succeed. The United States should make it easier for immigrants to legally enter the US and should allow legal rights and amnesty to undocumented immigrants because such immigrants help the American economy and bring more positive action to the workforce than negative.

Immigration as a whole is very healthy for the United States. It promotes cultural diversity within our borders which helps other people get to know what it’s like in other parts of the world. Additionally, it gives people that are fugitives a place to call home and make a living off of the life that they are given. However, illegal immigration has been a problem for the United States for a long time. Thousands of illegal immigrants have come into US through either the Mexico border, the Pacific Ocean, or through many other ways. Some people have entered the country legally through a visit visa, but then have stayed illegally and are working in various places. There are good reasons and bad reasons for illegal immigration. It is great because it provides the local economy with some sort of labor, making them more productive. However, these illegal immigrants do not pay taxes and their employers also do not pay their taxes. Illegal immigration is overall a negative because these people do not abide by the law, are sometimes running criminals, and can make the United States an overall unsafe place to live.

The topic of illegal immigration and how best to handle it has always been a controversial topic in the U.S. The Trump administration is trying to address it by building a wall all the way along the border of U.S. and Mexico. Trump has always wanted to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico because he sais that it is needed and will stop illegal immigration into the U.S. However the U.S.-Mexico border wall that Trump is proposing will not only be ineffective but will also be a huge waste of money and an act of ignorance to the real issues and solutions.
