Pros And Cons Of Immigrant Children

Out of those million immigrants there are about one out of five children under the age of eighteen are either an immigrant or a child of immigrants parents. (Orozco, 2001). The majority of immigrants are from Latino or Asian origin. The United States has been experiencing a large wave of people coming into this country to start a new life from what they had before. Every region in the country is experiencing the growth of immigration every year. With this new immigration the U.S is witnessing immigrant children take over public schools. Today immigrant students are becoming the fastest population to grow in the child population in the United States (Hamilton, 2010). Many parents send their children to the United States and separate themselves from them because they want them to have a better life and live the American dream. Many kids go to school at a young age and get through high school and college and even start their careers. But many of them have to live in fear of being found out. They can’t trust many people, even the closest one to them (Vargas,

The majority of American children grow up learning that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. There is little room for argument against the idea that the United States is a nation founded on immigration. However, there are some Americans who contend to the idea that new immigrants should not be allowed into United States and should receive no help adapting to their new culture. When people travel to the United States, the majority choose to bring their children with them. These children leave their homes and must come face to face with their new surroundings. If children are rejected at the border, what does that say about American citizens? How the children are treated by their peers can have a considerable impact on their likelihood of success. If nearly 44 million foreign-born people live in the United States 22 percent of those people are children, that leaves with America nearly 10 million immigrant children who may need assistance while trying to go through school. Immigrant children are typically described as those who have at least one foreign-born parent. These children deserve the same opportunities to succeed as the typical American born children. With assistance, immigrant children are likely to graduate high school and even move forward with college. If American citizens wish to make the United States a better place, they must move forward with helping the immigrant children.

There are many things to consider when you think about Birthright Citizenship. I have two different perspectives on this topic that kind of pull me both ways and I do not have a strong opinion either way. My first thought is that yes if you are born within the United States then yes you should be considered legal, because you were born here and technically that is currently the only life that you know. Also, if the parents are illegal and they have a child it is not the child’s fault so therefore the child should be legal while the parents are still illegal.

Thank you for your thoughtful post. In other words, you are asking how can the United States justify not providing affordable health insurance for people residing and working in country? Baiden (2010) offerings two important points, “Most, if not all of these undocumented immigrants work hard and contribute to the country's economic growth” furthermore, “The problem is that such individuals suffer high degree of exploitation at the hands of their employers” (p. 5). Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for government insurance programs, are unlikely to have employer provided insurance, and often do not have the resources to purchase private insurance. Furthermore, research has identified vulnerable populations such as low income, uninsured

Immigration and naturalization seem to be a relentless ever present concern of the American government. The immigration of different European, Jewish, Asian, and Hispanic groups during different eras of American history have continuously raised interest in how the government should balance America’s reputation for being a welcoming place where anyone can succeed, without sacrificing the economy. One group which was especially targeted and discriminated against by the legal system throughout American history was Asian immigrants. This is evident in naturalization laws, and the results of Supreme Court cases petitioned by predominantly Chinese as well as other Asian groups such as Japanese and Hindus.

Undocumented Children in the United States Many illegal immigrants, and their children, have come to the United States due to harsh circumstances in their own countries. It is now a matter of deciding whether or not the children of illegal immigrants deserve the right to a free public education. Many Americans are concerned with how this will affect our country in the future. Those opposed to undocumented children receiving a free public education in the United States are concerned with the space in our schools.

Undocumented Immigrants: Beneficial to the United States There are about 11.5 million undocumented immigrants in the United States today. Undocumented immigrants from different parts of the world come to this country for variety of reasons, reasons like getting a better life for themselves or their for their families, to find better jobs, or seeking a better education. Undocumented immigrants are willing to do jobs, that could sometimes be risky, that other people in the U.S. aren’t willing to do. The government should provide documents for immigrants because they benefit this country with cultural diversities, help by joining the U.S. armed forces, and growth in the U.S. economy.

An American citizen who visits other countries is somehow automatically protected, held to certain regards and given certain liberties, which sometimes the “Citizens” of those countries do not receive. Americans can travel to just about any country without a visa or any form of legal documents. Aside from a passport, they can choose to reside in that country simply because they want to without any form of backlash, ill treatment, or fear for their lives. They get some of the better jobs pushing the locals out of those positions. Therefore, illegal immigrants in the United States do have some constitutional rights that citizens have.

Immigrants help today’s society and continue to benefit themselves despite the threats thrown at them by our president and his people. They have been portrayed as bad people. For example, president Donald J. Trump, says that they are rapists and drug dealers. Due to these comments, many of his supporters believe they are true. Also, his reforms bring a lot of controversy within politics and other countries.

Undocumented immigrants provide jobs, pay taxes, and have had many positive outcomes toward the United States therefore, they should be allowed to be granted citizenship without going through all the hardships such as inhumane treatments, labeling/categorizing, harassment and detains. Undocumented immigrants are always supposedly up to no good and seen as the enemy. “There is no need for immigration so why have it?” you may ask. Throughout the years, many people have traveled to the United States from other countries to get a well paying job in order to maintain their families, to provide everything it takes to be successful for their kids, and overall to have a brighter future. Would people with bad intentions actually go through the

Even though some people do not want child immigrants to stay in the US, children should not be sent back because of their race. Child immigrants should be able to stay in the US because there could be an important reason that they are here, such as getting away from their family. And what is not fair at all is that child immigrants have to go to court before going back home. Some of these child immigrants have to go to youth jail,

It seems that the United States is approaching a crucial moment both for the real economy and for the financial crisis that caused this severe recession. Of course, this is good news that comes after many months of bad news, but we must continue to take into account how extremely difficult it is to forecast the behavior of the economy and financial markets during the crisis. The general predictions have been wrong again and again, and unexpected and even unprecedented events have followed one another closely. A cautious optimism should be the order of the day. We fear that the recent reactions of financial markets and some analysts reflect too much optimism without paying sufficient attention to uncertainty. Public policies should continue

I do not believe that immigrants should be able to come to America. When more people come to the America we have to provide more things to make life sustainable for them. Money is being spent, and more problems can be caused. We need to make sure the people wanting to come over know the rules of America, and that they can follow the rules. They should be required to speak english and can have their own language on the side. Not only taking an updated test of the U.S, but given a week on their own here to see if they can handle it and if it is a suitable living style for them. If they can not handle the week living here then they are not fit to migrate over, therefore they truly can not live in America. This will be their own fault and the

Do we need immigrants? Immigrants have been helping for decades. Some people say that US would be better off without immigrants but then think about it who is going to help the US through it’s hard times. For many years the United States has tried different ways to get rid of immigrants but so far none of ways have done any major damage.Because immigrants power the US economy by taking low jobs that most people don't really want to do, they work in the fields especially in california to grow food for not only california but for the whole nation, and most foreign workers are smart so they have jobs like doctors, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, etc. Immigration is a purpose of an increasing world that helps promote movement of people,

In this paper I will demonstrate that the immigrants in the US are good for the country and they are not that bad or are the criminals that some of the United States’ citizens are talking about them as the worst. In this paper I am to provide reasons that make the immigrants good for the country and how helpful they are and I will prove that the wall that divide Mexico from united states or how US citizens call it the wall that protect us is only a waste of money.
