Pros And Disadvantages Of Immigrants In America

Mawi Asgedom, an author, public speaker, and a refugee from Ethiopian origin, in his TEDXGRANTPARK talk, How Immigrants Make America Great (2016), addresses the topic of immigration in the United States of America and argues that immigrants make America “more safer and prosperous” and bring “stronger values” because they are simply living in the nation. He backs up this claim by doing the following: first, he refers to examples on how immigrants make sacrifices to make this country safe; next, he gives staggering statistics on the percentage of immigrants living in America today; last, he provides many cases of companies founded by immigrants that creates thousands of jobs for Americans. Mawi Asgedom, an immigrant himself, wishes to convey to readers the importance of how the “bedrock values” of immigrants, which are generosity and entrepreneurship, make them a “10” and how immigrants make America’s economy better overall. The author’s audience likely consists of those interested in immigration policies as is evident through his references to the immigration statistics and the response of the increased job market here in the United States due to the immigrants; he addresses readers with a tone that is very formal and serious but adds some humor to capture his audience, the viewers of TEDXGRANTPARK and other interested in the approach to immigration in the United States.

Illustrating how immigrants help the economy through their suffering, brings up empathy once more. The authors’ describe how they fled to a new country looking for a better life, finding unwanted jobs paying minimally, causing the consumers to positively buy products cheaply. Lakoff and Ferguson use pathos to They claim that to solve immigration, one must look at the issue broadly, realizing that the solution lies when everyone collaborates to decrease the number of people fleeing their country. Explaining the different viewpoints allows them to concede to the readers, showing how they are making their decisions based on knowledge. However, when comparing the two different views they still seem biased, using a negative tone when describing the way conservatives

Immigrants leave their country for America because it is supposed to be a better place. A

Why is it that the old immigrants did contribute to the advancement of the American economy and the newer immigrants are people who are just useful for menial jobs? One hopes that society’s judgment of present immigration is not determined just on their color of skin. The problem with American society is the pessimistic attitude they obtain when things are not going their way. As Harry Truman wisely said, “A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties!”

(Legrain) With introduction of new peoples come new ideas, cultural experiences, and skills that can all be used to benefit our country. High skilled people from other countries could help American companies develop new drugs, technologies, appliances and even new architectural ideas.” Twenty-one of Britain’s Nobel-prize winners arrived in the country as refugees.” (Legrain) The foreigners with new ideas could spark the next big American innovation with their different ways of thinking and perspective. Since they are new to our country they see differently than we do, and can have a completely different view on things. This cultural diversity can also transform little towns into cities with the new people inhabiting them. The immigrants could bring in their cultures and help build our towns into culturally diverse cities that would maybe attract tourists and new residents.

United States of America is a nation of immigrants. Therefore, our American journey and our achievements merely not be possible without the generations of immigrants who have come to our shores from every corner of the earth. And It is helpful to take a moment to mirror on the important aids by the generations of immigrants who have helped us build our economy, and made America the economic engine of the world. Because some of these Immigrants with there being here in U.S, the economy will be shaking and won’t be where it is now. Examples, of the Immigrants contributions to the American Soil are, the Immigrants help to create jobs, the Immigrants help to increase the nation’s capacity towards developing new ideas, and the Immigrants

It is often said that America is a nation of immigrants. Generations have drifted to the United States in hope for opportunity and liberty, and have also helped this country become very wealthy. Many illegal immigrants left their country in hope for a greater life in America. These immigrants have brought their culture to the U.S. They have made a new America by changing economy, work and culture for the better.

It has become evident to many that the American economy is declining in recent years. Journalists are pointing out that one of the reasons why it got weaker is due to a failed immigration system and outdated policies towards illegal immigrants. For instance, Fareed Zakaria from Time magazine says, although America was once considered an example to many other immigrant nations, it is now falling behind some of them in terms of immigration-related matters (24). Simply put, it is no longer the best immigrant nation it used to be. However, indicators of being a great immigrant country do not just include its own economic performance or the like, but also how it relates to other

“Between 1880 and 1920, America the industrial and agricultural giant of the world, as well as the world's leading creditor nation(JFK 25).” This could not be achieved without the 23.5 million people who immigrated here. During this period, many immigrants played a role in developing the nation and the world such as Andrew Carnegie from Scotland in the steel business and Albert Einstein from Germany who advanced physics. Then the anonymous immigrant played their role as well. There are the Chinese who built the railroads, the Europeans and other eastern immigrants who developed the agricultural side of America. By advancing the country in multiple ways, we became strong and rich. Then, without

Based on Donald Trump’s current popularity and his inflammatory statements about immigrants, one could be led to believe that America is a country of xenophobes and bigots. In fact, the opposite is true. America is great, not because we are a nation of winners, as Trump might say, but because we are a nation of immigrants. From the very first settlers of Jamestown to the millions brought through Ellis Island, to the 12 million undocumented workers living in America today, we are a nation who have always welcomed immigrants. But people do not come here because we welcome them. They come for social mobility, they come for opportunity, they come for the “american dream”.

“I believes in the queen bee theory, that one real talented leader, can create all kinds of enterprise and wealth” said the CEO of a major corporation in Western Canada. “ If you lose that one person or that small group of people to places that they would rather be, they’re not going to come back and you’re going to lose a tremendous amount of wealth creation” He was responding to Helliwell’s theory saying that the flow of migrants from Canada to the United States, whether overall or only among the highly educated, are less than a quarter as large as those in the 1960’s. The CEO is trying to say that maybe the flow of migrants are less but we are losing key players and that in the long run it will definitely hurt our nation. If the talent is moving away from Canada because of better benefits less tax then the companies will follow the people that drive success and hence the low number of migrants will eventually add up to millions of dollars of loss, and at this point millions of dollars is definitely a problem that the government needs to address and fast.

Friedman and Mandelbaum are both “frustrated optimists” of America 's future (7). They know the potential American has, and that it is filled with creative talented and hardworking people that can accomplish almost anything if they work together (Friedman and Mandelbaum, 8). At the same time, they are frustrated because they discovered that “many of those people feel that our country is not educating the workforce they need, or admitting the energetic immigrants they seek, or investing in the infrastructure they require, or funding the research they envision, or putting in place the intelligent tax laws and incentives that our competitors have installed” (Friedman and Mandelbaum, 8). American

The people who immigrated to America in the 1800’s and 1900’s came because “In the United States, individuals craft their own definition of success” (Friedman). Immigrants were given the opportunity to succeed, something they probably never had back home. Here immigrants were given free education, welfare, and healthcare, freedoms only given in America at the time. This freedom to succeed has given many people rags- to- riches stories. “Americans respect the self- made man or women, especially when he or she has overcome great obstacles to succeed” (Friedman), especially because immigrants who came from nothing were able to utilize their freedoms in order to make something for themselves.

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

Americans love children; everyone likes kids. We always want the best for children. Although this may be true, people in opposition to DACA are willing to deprive the children of their interests in pursuing a livelihood and furthering their education. Not to mention, the children are being punished for the parent’s undertakings. Oh, we are immoral people! However, the typical person is not considering the entire picture. On the other hand, if we examine the details, to a large extent, whatever people are learning is distorted, misrepresented or not accurate. Having accurate facts led me to the position that DACA is not in our Nation's best interest, and the program should remain rescinded.
