The Advantages Of Being An Immigrant

America has been a melting pot of cultures for many centuries, with the number of immigrants continually rising every year. Most of these immigrants come into the country with nothing at all except for the clothes on their backs and a few English words. But they also bring with them something special – their cultures and traditions from their homeland. In the Immigrant Advantage, readers can see that these specific traditions that they bring with them give them an advantage because they tend to have better mental and physical health than their native born American counterparts (5).

Recently the United States has experienced a large number of immigrants coming over to the country within the 2000s. In recent studies, there are about 11.5 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. The undocumented immigrant population has grown 27% between 2000 to 2009. Immigrants from Mexico make up 59% of the undocumented immigrants in the United States. These undocumented immigrants can help the economy and country grow. These undocumented immigrants do have some downside to them, which makes people question do they really help this country. Many people question if this is a good or bad thing for the U.S. economy or the country. Immigrants have helped the U.S. economy out a lot and propose more positives then negatives on

Being an immigrant in the United States is hard. People come here to work and bring their children, because there’s more opportunities here and the country is known for being a free land. But they are being sent back to a place where they don’t get the same things as they do here.Immigrants are also a big part of the U.S because most are in the fields,construction,landscaping, and all these jobs that are hard. Immigrants shouldn’t be deported because they are here to work hard, to help out their families and also live the American dream like any other.

Ever since 2001, when the tragedy of September 11th happened, many citizens in the U.S. have a fear of allowing immigrants into the United States. Some citizens judge that immigration is an impending threat to national security, and that the U.S. should close the borders up for good. The U.S. should not consider that because everything negative that occurs in the U.S. is not due to immigrants. The government can stop illegal immigration right now, but would it not affect the U.S. more to do so? Restrictionists claim that large-scale immigration, legal and illegal has depressed wages, burdened government resources, and acted as a net drain on the economy. However, if immigration is stopped completely the reduction of workers would cause the inflation of money to decrease therefore, causing the economy to plunge downward. People come to the U.S. to escape persecution from their country, work and make a living. Third world immigration is not a threat to America’s way of life because immigrants work, immigrants participate, and immigration already responds reasonably well to America 's economy. Thus, if immigration is eliminated, the U.S. would have fewer workers and the economy would not flow smoothly because the immigrant workers make the jobs and economy better. America should allow immigrants because they are essential to the growth of the American economy.

In the article by Hansen it looks at how it is not right for the U.S. to try to keep all of these people out and that they could help fill the jobs that no one wants but there are groups out there that will try to keep them out. The article looks at how there is a more humane option for the government to look at that would allow guest workers to remain in the country temporarily. This could eventually allow them a way to get citizenship if they want to stay in the country. This view provides at little recognition for those people who believe that it could mess up America’s culture. This is a more humane route and it is morally right. It also represents an effort for a good solution to the externalities of the open borders that people believe in, as opposed to the people who believes in a closed border type of plan.

Good things about immigration can be :they can help the U.S with work well some of the do anyways .There could be more plantation and economy .The U.S citizens also benefit from Mexicans working in the fields and Mexican women being house maids also many other jobs that white Americans cant handle .Some Mexicans do love working in the fields because they can actually handle it .

In 1995, both of my parents immigrated to the United States from Mexico searching for better opportunities for themselves and their future children. They never had an opportunity to attend school and have an elementary school education. The jobs that they performed are unskilled and are low-paying jobs. Both of them work to support a family of five. I am the oldest out of my sibling which means having to take up responsibility at a very young age, and also having to grow up fast. My parents work long hours, as a result, I have been given responsibilities that include taking care of my brother and sister, cooking, and cleaning my house. Since neither one of my parents speaks English, I have to translate for them and read important documents,

Immigration has been a huge topic since 1924 when the Immigration Act was passed placing a limit on how many immigrates could enter the United States and ongoing since President Trump was brought into office. When Trump got into office he raised chaos when he mentioned building a wall and sending people back to their home land. This raised chaos for families who came here to escape poverty, education, and health care. Here at the University of Akron this raised chaos because we have students from seven different countries like Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Many people feel that immigrates shouldn’t be able to walk on U.S soil while others feel completely different. The other side of this argument feels that everyone should get the same chance to be the best that they can be even if this means immigrates coming to the United States. Many immigrates come to the united states for to escape poverty. Most people who leaves to come to America are young people. These young people moved from their homes to seek better job opportunities. This raised conflict with the American citizens this was because you had some people who were against it and others who seen absolutely nothing wrong with it. The people who had a problem with immigrates coming to America for job felt that they were taking job opportunities from them. They felt that the immigrates should not be able to work in the U.S. Many of immigrates are limited to rewarding jobs because of discrimination. According to “Beyond Gateway Cities: Economic Restructuring and Poverty Among Mexican Immigrant Families and Children*” we measure poverty based on the family’s income including both earning and non-earning incomes received in both the previous and percent year.

Immigration has played a big role thru out the United States history. Since the 1850’s when the Chinese migrated to the U.S. and worked in the railroads to today’s date, immigrants have contribute to building America. There is an estimate of 11.7 million Immigrants in the U.S. trying to make a better living. Many of them work in different environment. Many people have different opinions towards immigrants. Some believe that having immigrants in the U.S. it’s bad for the work industry and for the country. Other’s believe that having immigrants in the U.S. actually helps the economy. It’s better for the United States to help immigrants than try to get rid of them. People think that the U.S. lose money taking care of immigrants. In today’s date

The second custom from The Immigrant Advantage that intrigued me was the Jamaican tradition of facilitating multigenerational homes for their families. While remaining intrigued I also have my doubts about my own fortitude and my ability to make the sacrifices necessary to make this tradition work. Jamaican families came to America for better economical opportunities than that available in their home country. They often live with extended family members all in the same household to better the chances of all members of the family reaching their own goals and dreams, especially the dream of owning a home. This tradition, largely, allows Jamaican Americans to finish college without the pressures of having to provide for themselves while doing

English for me has been not only an advantage but an equalizer. My family immigrated to America when I was only 2 years old. Immigrating to another country is hard enough but not being able to speak the native language is even more difficult. Being raised within a Pakistani family, Urdu was the language spoken around the house while I was growing up. Though my mother and father spoke some English, their English was more British English and was slightly raw.

There are many immigrants living in the US today, more specifically in Minnesota, which happens to be one of the states with the highest population of immigrants. Whether their status in the country is legal or illegal, the number is growing every year.  This results in numerous debates about the implications of having immigrants in our country. Immigrants are beneficial to our country because they contribute to building a stronger economy by providing labor to the everyday work force and contributing to advancements in healthcare and technology.

Imagine your father got deported when you were nine. You are now 21 and have not seen him in person since, you have only been able to talk to him on the phone on your birthday. Now you are living in New York with your mother. The chances of the only parent you have left being deported has increased by her getting a ticket, and she is now going to court for investigation of her identity. You will be all alone if she gets deported. This is one of many American immigrant stories. We should allow immigrants to come to America because we could be leaving innocent refugees in dangerous countries. The immigrants we are stopping from entering our country do not pose much of a threat. Furthermore, immigrants coming to America contribute to our country.

Should illegal immigrants be allowed to get in for free? Should they be allowed to enter while others spend years following the rules in order to gain their legal entry? In today’s society, the people of the United States are being taken advantage by the illegal immigrants. There are many examples in the news today demonstrating illegal immigrants shouldn’t be allowed to cross the border like the economic deficit, crime or the protection of our country. Illegal immigrants should not be allowed to come into the U.S. illegally and it would be completely unfair to the immigrants who put in all of the hard work.

Health Outcome: Recent immigrants enjoyed many health advantages compared to long term Immigrant and native born in many aspects like overall health status and chronic diseases. The immigrant women have greater life expectancy as compared to Canadian born women. [Ontario Immigrant Status Report Chen and Willkins and NG (1996)] and had longer lives without disability and dependency [Chen and NG and Willkins (1996)]. This is further evidenced by findings based on the rate of affected in chronic illness for life threatening issues and mobility impairment. Though there is a lot of research literature evidencing the reduction of the health advantages of immigrants over time, but it can be set as normalizing the health effect to that of the Canadian context. This normalizing effect is due to several factors like diet and physical activity which immigrant changes to that of Canadians and thereby increasing the chances of Canadian chronic diseases. Other factors can be delayed employment and inadequate income. Immigrant women being a sub- population of this group faces almost similar issues, but also more aggravated ones. With the increased of feminized immigration in recent years. At present,
