The American Of The United States

Everyone in life wants a better life for themselves and their next generations. Many people in different countries are migrating to The United States for one or two main goals. Those two goals are a better opportunity for employment and education. Which in turn, accomplishing either one of these goals will provide a higher quality of life and a sense of importance for themselves and their family. However, Americans view the immigrants differently from what they are. Some Americans view the immigrants with different stereotypes such as being lazy system abusers, dangerous criminals, and job thieves, just to name a few. However, these stereotypes are not true and does not represent the majority of immigrant. In actuality, immigrants are very disciplined, hard workers whom are also highly motivated opportunity chasers, where in these ways they should and need to be viewed by Americans.

Humanity is ever so much more complicated than one could have ever imagined. Humans can thrive on change, but ultimately look for something to declare as home. In search of this home people travel long distances and risk everything they have. When an American contemplates the word immigrant, one imagines the countless people from Mexico crossing into our country or the refugees that hope to make this country their home. What eludes most of us, however, is the reality that most people were, at one point, immigrants to this country and that our forefathers came here exactly the same as refugees come today. What is brought to mind when I hear the word immigrant is hope and perseverance. I remember the countless people who have traveled here

Immigration has been a burning issue lately, particularly after Donald Trump’s immigration ban in the United States of America. It has been a topic that families discuss every morning with breakfast. Despite many concerns related to immigration, it has several positive benefits that mostly outweighs the negativity. People bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration. Many immigrants in the United States are good workers who don't depend upon any public welfare and mostly help in the overall development of the economy. As a country made by immigrants, we must not forget the fact that immigrants have helped to build cities and create a path of development form Google to iPhones (Gray & Furman, 2012). These facts are secluded, and some related arguments with different content have been repeated for years and continue. Immigrants have a lot to give the United States rather than to take, especially when it comes to economic terms.

When most people think about immigration to the United States, they think of the U.S. as being the “land of opportunity,” where they will be able to make all of their dreams come true. For some people, immigration made their lives richer and more fulfilled. This however, was not always the case. A place that is supposed to be a “Golden Land” (Marcus 116) did not always welcome people with open arms. Even after people became legal citizens of the United States, often times the natural born Americans did not treat the immigrants as equals but rather as outsiders who were beneath them in some way. In some situations, people’s lives were made worse by coming to the “land of opportunity.” Often times people were living no better than they

Ever since this country was first discovered and settled, people from countries all over the world left their homelands and migrated to the “New World”. People from Spain, Germany, France, England and Asia traveled great distances to reach a new land of opportunity, to perhaps escape religious persecution or tyrant rulers. For centuries America has been viewed as a place for a fresh start, a place where anybody can come and begin a new life and follow their hopes and dreams. Even today people come to America for the exact same reasons that they did all those years before. However unlike the immigration of our ancestors, the immigrants of today aren’t able to just come here and do what they

The United States of America has always been a symbol of the free world. It has offered many generations of immigrants the opportunity to start a new life, a free life. America has collected immigrants from all over the world; however, some arrive legally and some make their way in illegally. In the U.S. today, this issue is dividing Americans between their morals and the law. In November of 2014, President Barack Obama claimed, “My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too" (Somanader, Tanya. “"We Were Strangers Once, Too": The President Announces New Steps on Immigration”). Many believe illegal immigrants should be deported, while others say they should be welcomed with open arms. Current illegal immigrants deserve the privilege to remain in the United States and be led on a path to citizenship, however measures should be taken to prevent further illegal immigrants.

The United States’ Immigration policy is best summarized through the ancient proverb, “the road to hell, is paved on good intentions" when a nation’s immigration is based on entirely on fear, the results will be hell towards the immigrants. this quote )[hook] [Thesis, rewrite] The United States' immigration policy was crafted by racist politicians, influenced by anti-immigration groups, in an effort to prevent and oppress immigrants who were seen as undesirable from coming to the United States. United States immigration policy was created to prevent undesirable immigrants such as the Irish, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, Muslims, and African Americans, from legally immigrating into the nation. From the mid-19th century until now, multiple

The author's response to the Atwan collection as well as the journal articles reviewed by the author of this paper is pretty simple. It can be concisely stated as the following. Open immigration is never going to be a viable solution, amnesty (for the third time in three generations) is not a good idea without some major follow-up, and the economic consequences of allowing 12 million (estimated) immigrants becoming legal overnight is not the panacea and feel-good fest that some people may think it will be. If amnesty recipients agree to do so and complete the requirements, they can and should be allowed to stay and be fruitful members of society. However, if the enforcement mechanism is not dialed up at the same time, then this country will be doing this yet again 20-30 years down the road"¦for at least the fourth time in a century. An American is someone who legally immigrates to this country and meets all the necessary requirements or is born to at least one American parent.

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.

“The U.S. immigration laws are bad - really, really bad. I 'd say treatment of immigrants is one of the greatest injustices done in our government 's name.” This quote by Bill Gates, founder and CEO of Microsoft, merely describes one of the factors to the bigger issue of immigration in the United States. It is not only a big deal for the government, but also for society. This issue is not just in states that border third-world countries, like Mexico or Cuba, which immigrants would come from. There are also immigrants who immerse themselves into every other state. Many immigrants are here lawfully, but there are some who are not. Either way, almost all of them endure some kind of discrimination throughout their lifetime.

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”.

America: land of the free and home of the brave. For generations children have been raised from a young age to value these morals that the United States stands for. American values have long been seen as the ray of hope for millions of people around the globe. Immigrants from every imaginable culture flood to the United States each year, possessing only the tattered dreams of a better life. But do we truly live up to this grand title we have claimed for hundreds of years? Instead of offering freedom to all who seek it, we now cower behind false stereotypes and grant it only to those luck few who we deem worthy. While unrestricted immigration into the United States is not probable, the proposed extensive immigration policies that target specific races or religions are violations of human rights

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

America, the land of the free and home of the brave, was originally developed by European immigrants seeking refuge from intolerant leadership that took away the people’s freedoms.Then as now, many settlers come to America to start a better life for themselves and their families; unfortunately, they are met with the challenges of restrictive laws and discrimination. However, history has shown us that immigrants seeking asylum can better the nation and even the world. A famous example of such an immigrant is Albert Einstein, who emigrated from Germany to escape the Nazi control during World War II and changed the world with his ground-breaking discoveries in physics. Though this is a dramatic example, if he had not come, we would not have had one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. All who want to live in the land of the free should be welcomed with open arms, after all, that’s why America was founded. Yet, we have tight immigration laws and strict border control to limit newcomers, who could contribute to our nation’s society. Because immigrants are advantageous to America, the U.S government should relax border patrol and immigration law so Americans can reap the benefits of a “tossed salad” community to create stronger economy and a more cultured, diverse nation.
