Speech On Immigration Analysis

As an individual who has witnessed family friends of immigrants that came to this country over 20 years ago in hope of a better future. I understand why so many immigrants are willing to cross a border so dangerous and treacherous to reach a country that is called the land of opportunities. What we call The Unites States of America the land of the free. An average of 2,700 illegal immigrants are willing to cross the border each day leaving there families and risking their own life's to cross to the US. Mostly in the news we tend to hear only the superficial fact but never the real facts or the stories of the capture immigrants. If we would just take time to listen to the real stories of what I called the unforgotten children and women. We

No doubt, it is a hot button issue, look up any presidential nominee with the term ‘immigration’ after their name and scores of videos, articles, and data will flood your way. The language used when referring to immigration policy, legislation, and migrants themselves determines the scope used in assessing the situation. All of the nominees for the 2016 President Election have taken a stance on immigration, each may be independent from one another, but are common in several key elements. Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, and Ben Carson’s immigration policies reveal a gendered and criminalizing rhetoric, which marginalizes and dehumanizes migrant people.

In the year of 2000, my family and I immigrated to the United States. We came for a better life, employment, and to get an education. We didn’t know how life would be in the U.S till we came and experienced it. I don’t remember anything since I was only three years old. As growing up, I’ve seen my mom suffer alone. She went through the hard times because it is not easy once you migrate to another country. After so many difficulties and hard work, the outcome has paid off. Life may not be perfect, but I am thankful for having an education right now. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to pursue their dreams and to accomplish important goals. Just as my family got the chance to live in a country filled with a land of opportunities; immigrants should be allowed into the United States. Looking at the numerous advantages of opportunities in this country, why should there be restrictions? As it is said that “America is a melting pot”, since different races come together to create one union. Immigration to the U.S. should be allowed because immigrants bring needed diversity, important job skills, unusual perspectives, and a richness of customs to the American society.

Solving the immigration problem in 300 words is going to be extremely hard, considering it has been 140 years since the United States created its first immigration stance with the removal of the open-door policy, and we still have problems with the laws surrounding immigration. I am going to focus specifically on changing the major flaws in our system and am going to leave the details vague. My first target would be in changing the laws regarding the guest worker program. If we want to hire workers from other countries to come and work for US companies, I feel like the workers should be considered American citizens. The book highlights poor working conditions and lack of workers' representation if they are injured on the job. If citizens of

Our 32nd President Franklin Roosevelt once said the famous words of,” Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.” (Roosevelt, Franklin) In the dilemma we face today people love to bring this up as an excuse. In all the years our great country has been established, we have always thrived upon immigrants, because even we are descended from immigrants. However when others come here to our country and are not documented and drastically change our country, then we must fight back against them to reclaim what is ours. We live in a nation where each culture and a single person is just a single important piece to make our country great, but there are recent visitors to

“We are nation of immigrants. Some came here willingly, some unwillingly. Nonetheless, we are immigrants, or the descendants of immigrants, one, and all. Even the natives came from somewhere else, originally. All of the people who come to this country come for freedom, or for some product of that extraordinary, illusory condition. That is what we offer here—freedom and opportunity in a land of relative plenty.” (Middletown Journal 2005)

I feel that immigration is one of the biggest issues that face the world in whole. Immigration is an important topic that needs a lot of attention and something that needs to be influenced to seize. It brings so much conflict between governments and individuals, causing disputes amongst them. I often here so much about immigration on the news nowadays. I feel that immigration isn’t a bad thing but when it begins to be illegal is when I feel it becomes the problem. I hear of people coming into America for different reasons such as financial benefits and employment. I think the biggest issue about it is getting those illegal immigrants back across the border. I strongly feel that the illegal immigrants that go to another country to do bad things such

The issue of immigration limitations has sparked much debate amongst the political world, particularly as of late with the US presidential election taking place. Politicians and philosophers argue about the number of immigrants a nation can sustain and the rights of states to limit immigration. I will argue that restrictions are justifiable because the state has a right to choose whom they associate with, and immigration has serious economic costs. After I develop my argument I will respond to a few objections to my position.

I am the youngest of four children and the son of two immigrant parents. My parents had migrated to this country at a young age hoping to give a better economic future to their two kids at the time. They had to make the sacrifice of leaving all their family and friends behind to give us an opportunity they never had, going to school and graduating. They worked hard to give us a the things we needed and things we wanted.

On November 10, 2015, two National Economic Experts argued on “what the U.S. Immigration policy should be?” Mark Krikorian, Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies argued against open immigration, while Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst for the CATO Institute argued in favor of freer immigration. Reporter Jonathan Gonzalez of 9News Denver moderated the debate. The argument made by both experts was supported by strong evidence even though the ideas appear to be on two extreme ends with no middle ground ideas or compromises. At one extreme there is a need to reduce or stop immigration while the other extreme advocates for open borders. Even though Immigration has been an important part of American history, recently it has become a contentious issue, which is mostly about borders or no borders, and does not take in to account the macroeconomic aspect of this movement. The two experts argue on how the U.S. immigration program needs to adjust by scaling back or blocking further immigration vs. open immigration policy consistent with American values that promotes free-market economy.

Immigration reform is a very touchy subject. All lot of individuals are directly and indirectly affected by this issue. I am one of the individuals that has been directly affected by this issue. My father came here from Jamaica to make a better life for himself. He became a United States citizen in 1990. I’ve always looked up to my dad for his drive and tenacity to do better for himself and his family. Throughout this debate we will look at facts around the issue that supported my decisions to reform the immigration policy.

My name is Fahren Y. Payton. I’m a U.S. Coastguardsmen originally from New Orleans, LA, but currently a resident of your 26th Congressional District in Buffalo, NY. I am writing to you today to respectfully offer a suggestion on dealing with the problem of illegal immigration in the United States. Far too often in today’s world we are offered one of two extremes when dealing with illegal immigration. The political far left idea of mass amnesty for all, which amounts to total capitulation of the problem, or the far right’s suggestion of mass deportation of over eleven million people and the building of a nearly two thousand mile wall from the Gulf of Mexico to the San Diego-Tijuana border, which is simply unfeasible.

I will start my presentation with a depiction of what legal and illegal immigration encompass. After, I will talk about the impacts of immigration on America. I will finalize my presentation with the current government actions that are changing the immigration system.

Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. These words are engraved on the Statue of Liberty that was assembled in 1886. The statue was meant to be a beacon of hope for all immigrants that enter the U.S. Do we still agree with what those words say?

Here in the Rio Grande Valley immigration has become the hit. An immigrant in my own words is someone from a different country that travels to an alternative country permanently for a better life. I belief they are many unlike reasons why people live in their country but cross to another country. Actually, I’m not in immigrant, I’m a US citizen but I have experienced many stories and seen families struggle from this situation. Nevertheless, to my own experience, some people move to the US to find better jobs, but some move to different counties to look forward not only to better their education but their children’s as well. In this research paper I will be pointing out the important factors and expectations of illegal immigrants in the US,
