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).

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.

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.

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.

To be an American is to be loyal to your country. No matter the color nor race, if you were born in a different country and become documented then you are in American. People want to discriminating different people but yet they are as Americans as everyone else. Americans are people live in the United States of America. Americans have the American dream to become better in their life. To be American is a free and respectful to everyone in our country. To respect all the different cultures because in many different kinds in America. Americans also pledge to our country's

Being an American cannot simply be defined by skin color, culture, or religion. This nation cannot be defined in a simplistic manner like many other nations. For instance, other countries define themselves by their accent or by the types of food they consume. According to Sarah Song, “To be or to become an American, a person did not have to be any particular national, linguistic, religious, or ethnic background. All he had to do was to commit himself to the political ideology centered on the abstract ideals of liberty, equality, and republicanism” (31). Therefore, being American simply means having the same views about equality, liberty and republicanism as our American ancestors.

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 .

Should immigrants be able to have the same rights as United States citizens, or should they go through a legal process to gain those rights? The Department of Justice hopes to modernize and expand the department's International Hearing Program. “The Department of Justice said that such a change ‘saves time and resources and speeds hearings.’”(Jeff Sessions, abcnews.com)

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,

If we are able to raise our children with more open hearts and eyes then issues that we see in society today such as prejudice and hatred will not be as prevalent in the future seeing as the youth are the future of tomorrow. I now work at the YMCA to serve as a role model to kids in my community. Not only do I work with children, but I try to speak out more on what I believe is right and wrong in daily conversation. Before, when more serious topics started in the classroom or in a social setting I would keep my opinion to myself because I did not want my opinion to conflict with others. Because of this novel, I now feel that it is a good thing to have conflicting ideas and it is even better to discuss these ideas.

According to my research around 12 to 20 million illegal people are living in U.S State of America. The disadvantage of illegal immigrant connected with the economic issue and of U.S. citizens could not get job. As an illegal they are working with lower rate and business people taking advantages from illegal immigrants. To solve this issue the government must pass specific law for the organizations to hire only legal immigrant of country. It will also affect to improve economy of country and develops better environment for people in the country. It is also important for the government to convert illegal immigrant into legal immigrant with specific conditions. It is also required to solve this issue for economical prospects. Currently illegal

The benefits argued in favor of immigration are that these people can add valued skill to the work force, contribute to the economy and federal programs such as social security, as well as add to the rich culture already present in the U.S. The costs that immigration imposes on the U.S. are; illegal immigrants entering the country, American jobs being taken as immigrants tend to work for cheaper wages, and taking advantage of public assistance programs instead of working. Other costs include, national security as we’re currently seeing today the mass amounts of immigrants coming to countries has caused issues with the safety of citizens as terrorist attacks increase. Another issue would be the immigrants that come here, live off welfare and

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.

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.

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.
