Pros And Cons Of Immigrants Coming To America

1 million immigrants move to America each year due to it being an exceptional nation. We are an exceptional nation because we have more rights than any other country, we are more equal than most, and we also have more of a choice in our government than the rest of the world. America is the one country everybody is fighting to get into due to its amount of freedom.

The United States of America has millions of illegal and legal immigrants more than people that born in the country. Our country has received many immigrants since 1600s with the pilgrims and continued in the time of industrialization. Many of those immigrants were searching religious freedom and better opportunities. But they faced racial discrimination, low pay rate, and didn’t have opportunities to find better jobs. Now in our times, people still immigrate illegal and legal in our country. They are people just like us and they need to be treated right and fair. The United States should help illegal immigrants to have the same and equal rights that citizens and shouldn’t be punished for where country they come from.

Immigrants into the the states were given the same promise of the American Dream as the citizens already there. This dream was meant to release them from a previous suppression and give them the opportunity to better their life. They had the right to work towards this better life with fairness and without discrimination. Once a group had taken full advantage of the dream and substantially improved their own quality of life, they were able to destroy this opportunity for others. The dream that was once “held to be available to every American” became difficult to achieve. The problem was that individuals were looking out for only themselves and forgetting to take into account the welfare of their nation and fellow citizens.

Some people settle and others seek more for their life no matter how hard it is to get it. Dreams that turn into reality and the ones that never stop believing. This is the case of many immigrants that migrate to America, a land known for its safety and freedom. They don’t want to settle and wish to live a better life. To give more to their children and to fight for more success. Eager for a better life they know that they will encounter many rough times, financially, legally, and even deal with hurtful discrimination. Immigrants in America come from all over the world, yet the focus is mainly on its

Undocumented families face immense pressure getting accustomed to the new land. Many parents want to adhere to their traditional way of life, but due to the new atmosphere, they are forced to assimilate into the American culture with the hopes of becoming socially accepted. The striving force behind the American dream, as mentioned earlier, is to achieve a better life. To accomplish this, undocumented immigrants must be able attain a job and provide the basic needs and essentials of life for their family. In doing so, so many undocumented individuals experience harsh realities due to the lack of legal protection.

Having children as citizen, and or being the primary provider in the household is little help in removal proceedings. Deportation rip families apart, some children of parents that have been deported go into foster care, being too young to care for themselves kids need the help of other adults to care for them. The deportation may also cause a lot of single parents to support and raise children all by themselves. Having one of the parents deported can be a large burden on the other parent that was left behind. Having a parent deported children tend to unassociated themselves with the community with the fear of a parent getting deported. With the fear of getting deported children associate the police with border patrol and begin to fear them. If children fear the police and or border patrol who will they got o when they are in need of help or danger? Deportation affects everyone even the community. More than 7 million children live with parents from Mexico, you can’t say that when these parents get deported there is no affect to their children. (Last Name,

Immigrants contribute to the US economy more than they take form it. There is an estimated 45.3 million legal immigrant in the United States. Immigrants accounted for 47% of the workforce in the United States over the past ten years.

During the 10 year span of 2003 to 2013 there have been between 740,000 to 925,000 parents that have been deported to their home country leaving their U.S. born child citizen. (Lee). Deporting a parent or even both parents while leaving their children alone in the U.S. has negative effects on booth the child and parent. While the parents are sent back to their home country the child or children are left becoming with drawn, anxious, or even depressed. Being a victim of depression doesn’t always take place within the child. If the breadwinner of the family was deported their spouse is also affected. By having no way to pay rent or to provide food for your children can lead the parent to stress and also depression. If the family isn’t capable of affording their rent, they have to move out and look for cheaper houses. That can result in instabilities in the community also causing the children to move schools, and it can lead the single parent to splitting his or her children up in different houses while searching for a stable house. (Koball). Legalizing will help families stay together once they’re in the states, and give them a better opportunity of having the stability and security they need. The second candidate in the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton speaks her voice on the immigration reform and stated “The American people support comprehensive immigration reform not just because it's the right thing

In the late 1800s, the era of immigration had begun. America’s borders were flooded with various ethnic groups pursuing the “American Dream”, an opportunity to better oneself through hard work and perseverance. Yet for most people, the “American Dream” never came true, because of difficult and dangerous work, few advancement opportunities, and racism. The Slovak families in Out of This Furnace, the Krachas and Dobrejcaks, provide good examples. The first members of these families, Djuro Kracha and Mike Dobrejcak, were first generation Slovak immigrants. These two men and other members of their families, like Kracha’s daughter Mary and Mike’s son Dobie, never achieved the lasting material prosperity that was the American Dream. Much of their

The first effort to control immigration was not to bar immigrants entirely, or turn back those who wanted to travel to the United States, but to set standards for immigration and separate the desirable newcomers who would add to the country from undesirables which would only tear it down. The very first immigration enforcement enacted by Congress was in 1798, and allowed the present to deport anyone that was deemed dangerous to the United States.

Immigration started with Spanish settlers in the 1500’s and eventually moved on to French and English settlers in the 1600’s and so on and so forth. Nearly 1 million immigrants arrive in the United States annually. Though you may see this is as a bad thing, there are actually so many pros to immigration. One of the main pros, though, is that immigrants are taxpayers, consumers, and job creators. The United States benefits from these things in multiple ways such as getting new homes and stores.

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

If you had the chance to move to somewhere new where you could escape the previous troubles and horrors you had just experienced, would you? Many immigrants came to the United States because there were many political problems in their homeland that they wanted to get away from and wanted to start over again with a clean slate. They figured that since the U.S. was accepting new people into our country, more and more could come, but that didn't end very well for most immigrants.

In 2009, President Obama became the first African-American president of the United States of America, which makes him the 44th president. President Obama made a lot of promises in his 2008 presidential campaign that he has fulfilled, broken, or compromised. Many Americans know that a promise that a presidential candidate makes is a major deal because those are the reasons in which why the people vote for that candidate. Once those promises are not fulfilled, Americans will feel like the president has failed them. One of the major promises President Obama made was on immigration. He had 6 proposals only involving immigration. Four out of the six proposals President Obama initiated met half way, and two out of the six proposals were not fulfilled.

America is and isn’t the land of opportunity for all. America accepts a decent amount immigrants each year. They have to go through a lengthy process, but if they are accepted they can come to America really easily. However, opportunity in America is not as easy as they might think. Life for an immigrant can be slow and arbitrary for a while, and sometimes it might never get better.
