Summary: A Day Without Immigration

Effects of immigration on the economy also raise the argument over social service abuse, which is immigrants using social services provided by the government without paying social service taxes or being in the right legal status to obtain those services. Many have argued that illegal immigrants should not be entitled to health care services and public education should be denied to illegal immigrant children. If this were to happen then family migrants would be less common, and this is counter productive to the U.S, it is much better if the immigrants arrive with their families to help them assimilate better within society and makes them better citizens.

One important reason that immigrants should have a path to citizenship is that the United States of America is a country filled with immigrants. We are are the land of freedom and opportunity. And according to Senator Charles E. Schumer Upfront Magazine 2015 he had stated ¨My home is in Brooklyn, I can see the statue

Immigrants are individuals who are trying to improve their life styles for their families within the economy, escape prosecution of gangs, and looking for more in their future. Everyone should have a chance to stay in the United States of America since we are all immigrants. We all travel from all different countries to make the U.S. what is today. Immigrants are not just people trying to take jobs like many say or criminals that the news makes it seem. Each individual has a story to tell. Some are just like you and me or children that are like our little brothers or sisters. Some are women and men like our mothers and fathers that give their life for the best of their

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.

If it were up to you, and you had the choice whether or not to give undocumented citizens a chance at citizenship, would you? Many people believe that they should not have a chance at citizenship because they came here illegally. Every person has their own opinion on this topic. This debate is one of many debates going on in between the candidates or even the politicians, but of course they all have their own views and reasons on it. Everyone should consider that they should because either we are hurting families or they can help improve our economy. In the next three paragraphs this argument will be influencing you to side with my claim, that undocumented citizens should get a pathway to citizenship.

Should a "pathway to citizenship" be made available to the 10-12 million undocumented immigrants currently residing in the US?

The argument also states that because we turned away anyone over our visa quota for the year in which the study was taken, our society was deprived of that potential for growth (471). Their argument for unskilled immigrants is that if they want to come and work, then they have an American mindset and should be included (471).

The presupposition that undocumented immigrants should receive the same rights as American citizens are a categorical truth. Although some advocates against undocumented immigration would argue that they have overpopulated our nation, these romantic critics are too dogmatic in their provincial ideology. Everyone has the human rights and have the authority to enter to the country without being deported. People should know the reasons why immigrants come to America before deporting them. More than 11 million immigrants are undocumented in America and about 800,000 immigrants come to America each year. These immigrants come to America because they want to escape persecution and seek new opportunities.

There are not many people who know that there is war going on within America. A war, that is capable of impacting the future of America. Millions of “Dreamers” are fighting to be recognized as American citizens. In recent months and years, the debate on immigration reform has been heated and often uninformed. Every president mentions in his speech to take action on immigration reform. But unfortunately he ends up taking action against immigrants by deporting them. Is the country founded by immigrants has closed doors for the immigrants? People are fighting for the immigration reform. In order for the bright future of America we need to fix the present problems. A land of opportunity has taken many hits but the immigration reform made us think about our legal system. It is essential to understand that “immigration reform” is not a cup of tea. The question many are asking is that how can we accept millions of people into our labor force? We are already struggling from unemployment rate, which is peaking high. In this paper I will be primarily focusing on the role of immigrants on our economy, businesses and society, and how it impacts our society.

This legislation would impact many groups of people in American society specifically, immigrants. In our local community, it is evident that some immigrant populations are protesting in favor of this legislation. On February 17, 2016 many Latino immigrants protested at the state capitol in downtown Madison. Erikson concludes, “The rally, called “A Day Without Latinos and Immigrants in Wisconsin,” also sought to convey the economic power of the Latino community by illustrating what would happen if thousands of Latino employees and business owners didn’t should up for work” (1).

On February 16 plenty of stores were closed, many jobs had no employees at all, and the streets were practically empty, except for the streets that were packed with immigrants and supporters protesting to prove how important they are to the economy.

Alternatively, another example is that Daneen G. Peterson, P.h.D. argues in his article We are Not a Nation of Immigrants that their American ancestors came here as legal immigrants, which is the opposite of the people who are immigrating to this country nowadays, they are coming illegally. In order words, that these people are not welcome to live here. However, the majority of Americans are native-born, so “How often have we heard the pro-illegal-alien crowd as well as other 'clueless' Americans repeat the mantra "after all we are a nation of immigrants, aren't we?" The answer to that question is a loud and incontrovertible, no! Most Americans today are native born and therefore not immigrants what is left unsaid in the above phrase is the

America is considered to be the “land of opportunity,” yet ironically, its doors are closed to the vast majority of people seeking to become citizens and pursue this opportunity. Legal immigration to the United States is a complicated process that is generally limited to those that have been petitioned by family members or employers, or have fled their home country as refugees. Most unauthorized immigrants do not meet these requirements, and even those that do may have to wait years or even decades. This leaves many with the choice to either immigrate illegally, or not immigrate at all. Those who choose the former receive criticism from Americans that do not understand why they refuse to just “get in line” and become legitimate citizens, but this line already has 4 million people, and for many there is no line at all. The naturalization process is specifically designed to protect the national security of the country, but there are some immigrants that could potentially be hard-working, law-abiding citizens who are denied this opportunity due to the complexity of the process. It would be beneficial to make a simpler pathway to citizenship for these immigrants specifically, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants, strengthen the economy, and keep families together.

Illegal immigrants should be given a pathway to citizenship. It should be mandatory for each country to establish a set of policies and procedures for people with the desire to immigrate and become citizens in the United States. People should be able to apply for approval to immigrate and become citizens like they would for a passport. I don’t understand how it is that we have a more structured process for purchasing a house than we do for immigration and citizenship in the states. People who wish to immigrate and become citizens outside their country should remain in their country of birth until they have been approved and provided with the proper documentation for immigration. Doing this will help keep track of legal immigrants, and illegal

There are many that disagree with undocumented immigrants being in the United States because they think that most immigrants are either drug dealers, or gang members, but most of these immigrants are just here to live the “American Dream.” They are here to be able to be more than they could be in their own country. They want to be something and be able to accomplish what many of their family members could not.
