The Immigration 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 and prejudices 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 immigrants. 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.

For many decades the history of the United States and immigration has always been a very talked about topic of debate. Many Americans did not like the collision that immigrants would have upon the native-born American people, while others welcomed the flow of people as adding to America’s multiculturalism of difference. According to Immigration: Good or Bad for America (2016), a large amount of immigrants try to enter the U.S. borders without proper documentation, in this manner being labeled as illegal immigrants. In addition, the United States unusual position as a nation of immigrants is being questioned by

Outside the sirens are singing and someone’s parents are taken away from their family because they are not a citizen, they didn’t do anything wrong they just weren’t citizens in the country. Not every immigrant is the same, everyone is different and they all have different opinions. Immigrants are helping out their family like every other family would and they aren’t just the only people who do wrong choices so do others. Some American’s can’t accept them in their country and say immigrants are taking their jobs. Imagine having children born in the country with foreign parents and they have to be deported with their kids waiting to be adopted by “parents with better lives.” Immigrants are like everyone else, they risk themselves but they don’t

Immigration has been a hot button topic in the United States since as early as the 1800s. With the arrival of Europeans from nations such as Ireland or Poland, so also came many prejudices against these people. In the United States today a similar story unfolds down along the Southern border. People of Latino decent continue to cross the border into the US seeking a better life and the American dream. However not all of the individuals are joining the ranks of US citizens by legal means causing many social strains on the public image of immigration. Because of those that enter illegally, policymakers demonize all immigrants and enforce strict immigration and deportation laws. They cite immigration as the reason for crime rates and the dissolution of American values. This harsh rhetoric casts a negative image on all immigrants and is a bigger problem than immigration is.

“The immigrants who arrived in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries were very different from the predominantly Protestant, northern European immigrants who came to America in the early to mid-1800s” (Laura Leddy Turner “Were Immigrants Discrimination in the late 1800s and Early 1900s?”). A cause for the immigrants to move to the U.S is “...either because of a crisis or forced removal by an outside force” (What are causes and effects of immigration, Reference). Some countries that people immigrated from are farther away than just Mexico that isn’t too far. “Between 1880 and 1924, about 25 million new immigrants came to the United States. Many came from countries in southern or eastern Europe such as Italy, Russia, Hungary, Greece, and Poland.” (Immigrants in America). Those individuals that immigrated from those countries are mainly who are being disrespected to. What also doesn’t help is the diseases people are being judged by, not just where they lived or what they have

The immigration debate in this country has grown stronger over the past few years. There are valid reasons for being in favor of allowing immigrants to enter this country. However, there are also legitimate concerns from those who oppose immigration to this country. I believe that by allowing immigrants to enter the country, it’s diversity increases and culture expands. It gives struggling people from all over the world an opportunity to a better life. This country was built by immigrants who sought opportunity, political & religious freedom, etc. Some of the most intelligent and ambitious individuals, who are unsatisfied with their own countries, bring their skills to America.

This topic has been relevant in our society since donald trump has been elected into office. Donald trump wants to build a wall along the mexican border to keep immigrants out of our country. Donald trump claims that “ When mexico sends its people, that they’re sending people that have lots of problems.” He also says” mexico is ripping off the US more than almost any other nation.” This topic has been widely talked about in our world today. Many americans and people that I know are happy that Donald trump is going to build this wall. They see, to be against mexicans coming to america, and have a hateful view on anyone who is non-white coming to our country to start a better life for themselves. And I myself don't know very much about immigrant and politics, But to me, I think that immigrants should be allowed to come and live in our country, I mean isn't that what america is? We are all immigrants to this country so how can we be mean and turn our backs on others who need help, when we did the same thing in our past. We came to america to escape bad living conditions, and the bad government systems of our original homeland countries, we came to america to become free. And if we turn our backs on others who need help to become free then our country is becoming like the ones before us

Immigration is a big part of the United States, although it has always been an issue since the beginning of American History, lately it has become more controversial. There are changes being put into action that are affecting many undocumented immigrants. People from all over the world come to this country to better themselves and their families; they come to the land of the free in hopes to have a better life, new economic opportunities and liberty that will allow them to succeed. Unfortunately, people have become very racist towards immigrants, even to the ones that are legal because people assume that if you’re not their race, then you must be illegal. It’s shocking to know that people

On the contrary, opposite views are common to. These come around from past experices, traumas with other people in a culture. The conflicts lead the people away from excepting immigrants. This has become

Immigration has always been a complex issue in the United States. Previous and current administrations have had great difficulties in setting policies and programs in place to address this problem. During the course of American history, laws were enacted to address such issues. There were numerous legislative milestones in regards to immigration in the United States. In order to understand the current issues regarding immigration, we have to look back at the policies that were in place along with the goals that they intended to serve. According to (Barusch, 2012), the United States had an open immigration policy; which means that anyone could relocate to this country. As a result of this policy, the government had to redefine

Immigrants have been discriminated in our society, specially, in workplaces, schools, and public places. People viewed them as illegal, jobless, Mexican, Asian, and refugee. People say that immigration hurts the U.S. middle class and it is responsible for damaging the U.S. economy, but they tend to forget the part that immigrants have been contributing in economy, and also working the jobs that most americans don't want to. The conflict between two different views have been increased in recent days, and the current U.S. administration also enforcing hard line policy towards illegal and other immigrants, which creates higher division in the society, and raised the level of conflict.

The United States was founded by immigrants and is known as the land of immigrants, yet controversy continues regarding immigrants. There has previously been talk about illegal immigrants and the want for their deportation, but recently the desire to deport all illegal aliens has grown. When the topic of illegal immigrants is brought up for discussion the same arguments are brought up from the same approaches; people fail to realize who illegal immigrants are, their benefits, and rather speak of getting rid of them rather than means of legalizing them.

Many people who are immigrants are judged and used in many ways. For example in Arizona, a new law that was approved and signed by Governor Brewer , SB 1070, states that “any police officer

In the United States today, immigration has become very controversial topic. Americans have many strong opinions about immigration. We go in the directions of a mixing pot, meaning immigrants should be held to the expectations of becoming Americanized, a salad bowl where immigrants can be unique and stay within in their culture, or even both. We even see that some Americans even believe that immigrants shouldn’t be aloud in the country at alarming rates and that even some immigrants should be deported to make space for Americans for a variety of reasons. Many Americans see immigrants as being a disturbance in their way of life or even a threat for job opportunities. Immigrants are being referred to people that are causing chaos in American

I’m not against all of the immigrants who want to start a better life here by becoming legal citizens. I’m against the millions of illegal immigrants that come to the U.S. and cause trouble and make things harder for the legal immigrants that are already here. Illegal immigrants have long been a problem in the United States, and there have always been so many controversies about illegal immigration
