Pros And Cons Of Immigrants In The United States

Many people believe that immigrants do not provide us with any beneficial effects to our country. This is not the case at all. At one point all of the current Americans that reside in the United States today had ancestors that traveled from another country or countries to the United States of America, thus making us all decedents of immigrants. Immigration helps boost up the economy, not hurt it, for the most part. Illegal immigrants take jobs that have lower pay and horrible hours. They also tend not to file for tax returns or claim their Social Security money (Aquino 2016). Illegal immigrants do not claim social security or file for taxes in order to prevent themselves from being found out and deported back

The issue of immigration has become a major debate for everyone. Many people argue over the negative impacts of immigrants living in America, such as overcrowding, fewer jobs due to immigrants taking them, drug trafficking, and threatening of American culture. However, immigrants still have a positive impact on the American society. The United States is by far the largest destination for immigrants, annually receiving over a million legal immigrants and about seven hundred thousand illegal immigrants. Many people come to the United States to get a better life for themselves, as well as for the education system for their children. Others come to America to practice the freedom and right given to the American people. What many Americans do not

Immigrants today are well treated than those back in the mid-1800 and early 1900’s and helped shape America for what it is today. Immigrants is treated as second class citizens often time they are knowing for “stealing other people jobs”. Looking back, immigrants has been improving since and makes up half of the population. “their education levels, the diversity of their jobs, and their wages are improving, and the newest generations of immigrants are assimilating into American society as fast and broadly as the previous ones. simulating into American society as fast and broadly as the previous ones” Immigrants are getting the grasp of the American life. The newer immigrants are learning more quickly than the previous ones. Based on the results

Would you like to take a few minutes and think about the effect that immigration has in the United States of America? There are certain people that believes America would be better off without immigrants when in fact, America need immigrants more than they would ever know. The reason for implying this, is because immigrants work hard and do the jobs that the majority of Americans would not do, immigrants help boost trade, and they help the U.S build and retain their human capital.

Immigrants play a big role in this economy in so many ways. They provide labor to low paying jobs such as, farming and working at fast food restaurants. They also create new businesses such as going to a flea market and selling personal belongings for money. Another way is boosting the tax revenue. With that, i mean the majority of taxes are from immigrants, they make most of the population. What you all fail to see is that immigrants make the U.S. great. No one would be willing to step in their shoes for a day and feel what they have to go through to have the good life they always dreamed for. It’s sad to see a human being, not just one, but a lot of human beings get treated differently according to their skin or where they come from. We all are the same regardless where we come from or what color we are. U.S. residents don't feel the pain immigrants feel when they leave their loved ones behind or watch them get shot for trying to get here. Immigrants experience and risk a lot trying to come to the United States to help themselves, but end up helping the government

Countless people across America view immigration as something negative, however, this thought can be proved wrong. Immigrants both legal and illegal are ordinary people, but people like us continue to give them labels and make them feel like total outcasts. Deporting these people who love America just as much as we do is not the answer. Because most immigrants work jobs and pay taxes, immigrants may not have a negative impact on the United States’ economy.

Many people believe that immigrants don’t provide any beneficial effects to our country which isn’t the case. At one point all of the current Americans that reside in the United States today had ancestors that traveled from another country to the United States of America thus making us all decedents of immigrants. Immigration helps boost up the economy; illegal immigrants take jobs that nobody really wants and they get paid less money and tend not to file for a tax return or claim their Social Security (Aquino 2016). Illegal immigrants do not claim social security or file for taxes in order to prevent them from being found out and deported back to their home countries.

In my personal opinion, immigration causes multiple debates. I think that Immigration should be allowed to a certain extent. It could be better for the economy, people could get a decent job to support their family and live a happy life, and there has been many businesses built by immigrants. There are many benefits for the economy because of immigration, it provides growth in the labor economy. According to National Academy of Sciences, they conclude that “Immigration supplies workers, which increases GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and has helped the U.S avoid the fate of stagnant economies created by purely demographic forces”. If the immigrants want to cross the border, there should be high restrictions because the U.S wouldn’t want to let anyone that has had a bad history with any drugs or alcohol.

Every year many people move to a foreign country due to facing political issues, escaping a war, or aspiring to have economic welfare and better education. The United States has been welcoming millions of immigrants during its short history. These days many Americans are against the current policy of immigration. They are demanding the government to decrease the number of immigrants who enter their country every year. Ironically, these Americans were immigrants themselves when their ancestors arrived in North America two hundred years ago. They actually are descendants of immigrants who killed Native Americans, took their land, store their resources, and built a home for their family. Some Americans believe immigrants are hurting their economy and changing their culture. Nevertheless, immigrants are key to an array of positive changes in both economy and culture. They contribute to significant growth of technology as well. Many Americans cannot grasp this concept. Many white Americans also argue about becoming the minority in the near future and, I think this possibility should not matter to them. Nevertheless, in my opinion we as residents in America have to support this high rate of immigration which exist in our today’s country.

Immigration is a worldwide issue. Thousands of people escape from their native countries for various issues which include fleeing from war, violence, or simply fleeing to find a better future elsewhere. Our country itself was born on the basis of European immigrants migrating into the new world to find new lands, people to convert, freedom, and economic prosperity. As thousands of millions of people flow into other countries, they bring with them traditional values that are a custom to them in their native countries. In America specifically, our country is home to millions of immigrants from countries all over the world. So the question is why are some of these immigrants and their descendants considered “American” while others are thought of as outsiders? Many immigrants and their descendants are considered America while others are classified differently because the generation the immigrants is plays a huge role in the classification of the immigrant, the languages and culture the immigrant brings defines him or her, and because some immigrants adapt to their new environment faster than other immigrants.

The American Dream for many immigrants is that if you work hard and dedicate yourself, you can achieve success. Success is what they believe it is. Whether it is buying a house, getting a good job, having a family, sending their kids to college. In recent times, however, the American Dream and the American people have turned its back on the immigrants. The policies of the current president have changed both the citizens and immigrants’ views on what the American Dream is. Conflicting ideologies create tension with policies on issues such as immigration. Many immigrants also believe that with President Trump in charge, their American Dream is dead.

Some people would argue that “Immigrants do not do anything, they are lazy, the only thing they are good for is coming here to take up jobs and occupy space.” “From 1960-2009 production capacity (otherwise known as the amount of products that are being produced in factories in America) has only gone up, and around the same time immigrant numbers increased” (Peri).It is no coincidence that the time the immigration population started rising, so did the amounts of products produced per week, year, day, and month. Those facts show that immigrants have made businesses more efficient and overall factories and other mass producing businesses are more valuable. If that is not enough, “studies show that immigrants are 30% more likely to start up a mildly successful small business” (Furman). That means that out of the mass majority of American citizens the US possesses the immigration population has 30% more small businesses than our own. So, for example, there are two people, steve who is an American citizen and he does not have a job, but his friend moves here from mexico, Juan. And his dream is to find a way to start up himself a self-sufficient, self-owned business. But Steve is trying for the same business, Juan has a 30% more chance to actually start up and run that business. Only because the number comparisons between Americans with jobs and immigrants with jobs here in the US, is pretty sad on our part.

What makes an immigrant an immigrant in a nation built full of different cultures. This is a question that I pondered on as I wrote this paper being a native of Africa. In this paper, I will discuss what is an immigrant, and why do they migrate to a new land. I will also discuss the requirements to migrate to a new land such as the United States, and how the government regulates immigration.

According to the New York study, there are 2.8 million foreign-born individuals who resided in the United States legally, whether they are naturalized citizens, legal permanent residents or political refugees. One million of these 2.8 million are naturalized citizens in 1995 had a higher average per capita income of $23,800 and paid $8,600 taxes more than native Americans ($18,100 and $6,500, respectively). In the case of illegal immigrants, an estimated 540,000 are illegal immigrants, these illegal immigrants can rarely pay taxes without revealing themselves to the government. However, many of these illegal immigrants would gladly pay their share of taxes in exchange for being

I feel you are asking two totally different questions. Either way they are fair questions. I feel many immigrants do not learn English because “they are too old to learn something new.” Or they are so comfortable speaking their original language because is easier to communicate for them. However we expect them to learn English and integrate to the Anglo society (Huntington 2004). Yet, we don’t provide the resources to do so. Many of the immigrants in the USA do not have the means to go to school to learn English. While there are multiple fee resources that provides free English classes, they are not enough or they are not advertised correctly for them to take advantage. I would suggest to provide the means to allow immigrants
