The Importance Of America's Open Border

Immigration is one of the contentious issues that continue to elicit mixed reactions from different parties. In most western economies, debates on immigration policies have been on the rise in the recent decades. Whereas the international human rights have confirmed that freedom of movement is one of the basic human rights and hence no one can be deprived, most governments have put restrictions on immigration. Furthermore, the enactment of open immigration policies in various countries continues to raise mixed reactions with proponents and critics of the policies contributing to the debate. Immigration policies usually vary from country to country and within states with both, either opting for open or closed immigration policies. The impacts of illegal immigration and open border policies have been central to the above debate. This paper explores the issue of open border policies and illegal immigration and its inherent dangers.

Open or closed borders? This seems to be a topic that many people want to listen to. We all have reasons why we should close the border as well as open it, but has anyone really thought about those arguments and noticed that they don’t make sense? In addition, there are much better reasons to keep them open:

In order to ensure our country 's safety, I believe that the borders of America should be closed and secured. If America 's leaders vote to keep our borders open and free to all, the Immigration Crisis will evolve into an even bigger problem. It is my understanding that America is already trillions of dollars in debt, not including all the funds it would take to care for thousands of immigrants. While the numbers are clearly not as bad as most other countries, we too have our own citizens living in poverty everyday. I firmly believe that until we are capable of providing restoration and a better quality of life to our own people, we have no business or resources to do so for other countries.

What is immigration and how can immigration affect our countries? Immigration is the action of people coming to live permanently in a foreign country. The topic of immigration and open borders has been a complicated and discussed subject for many years in countries all around the world. Many countries have already made the decision to have an open, closed, or a controlled border. As of now The United States has mixed views about the status of its borders and their policies on immigrants. Although many people have the opinion that the United States should have open borders, it is in the best interest of our nation to keep control of our borders so that our country does not have the negative effects other countries are enduring. Our country is also over populated, having an open border would only make the overpopulation issue worse.

Even with the plight of the current “migrant” or “refugee” crisis, the concept of open borders is one that States do not find attractive. States will never limit their sovereign rights on immigration issues. States have a fundamental right to determine (i) who can gain entry to a state and, (ii) the conditions of entry for a migrant in the

There are two sides to the argument of open and closed borders: there is a pro side and a con side.

U.S. Border Patrol agents in Texas say they are seeing an increasing amount of illegal immigrants hide inside air flow vents of trucks to try to get past checkpoints undetected.

Slowly America is getting corrupted with illegals invading. Each year, the rate of immigrants increase, as well as our border security. With illegals, continuously invaliding, it is starting to have an impact on the lives of American citizens. Everything we’ve worked for are now becoming treasures illegals know they will receive when entering this country.

I agree America has a long history of immigration and should continue to allow immigration. No matter what policy is chosen for immigration, there will allows be a chance that a person with bad intentions will be allowed into the U.S. No matter how we try to prevent every person who wants to do us harm nothing is 100 percent. We should not throw out the immigration based on one bad apple.

Immigration is a big problem in the United States. This paper analysis the people immigrate to U.S. in legal and illegal ways and the cause of it are the safe and economic problems in their home country. The legal immigrants can have most of the same rights as a U.S. citizens and have more opportunities. However, illegal immigrants don 't have the same right and also increase the criminal problem in the U.S. . The cost of illegal immigration control is the serious problem for United Stated government. The conclusion is government need to make the immigration process easier and provide them benefit for immigrants. The increase of legal immigration willingness can decrease the illegal immigrants number.

Illegal immigration has always been seen has a problem in America for a number of years now, lots of them have the tendency that a border wall would solve this issue. As a much this how individuals perceive it, immigrants have a positive side which as a matter of fact, impact the economy a varied means. In the year 2014 alone approximately eighty four percent immigrants originated from Central America, Asia and more from Mexico (Felbab-Brown, 24). The truth is that majority of these immigrants are running away from the exhilarating poverty which is witnessed experienced in countries such as Mexico thus erecting a wall not only hurt the economy but also increases the likeness of dehumanizing which is associated with increased violence. This essay is going to highlight the vitality of the immigrants to the US and how the plan of building a huge wall would go a long way in hurting the economy not to mention the ecological disaster. As the current regime talk about immigration strategies and the US-Mexico border, what they all successfully fail to acknowledge is the deleterious impressions that the construction of a perpetual border will have.

(Anderson, 2015). Everyone needs to be together when the policy is implemented at every level of government. A policy of this magnitude is implemented on a national scale. Although, many state and local government bodies have applied their immigration laws. Anderson is right when he writes that for policies to be successful, it requires coordination and cooperation at all levels (Anderson, 2015). I believe that as a nation, we should have one immigration policies that all should follow. After all, this is a national issue, and it does affect each one of us. At the same time, the president does have some powers to put laws into place. However, the Legislative Branch (Congress) has the absolute powers to decide what laws are in place. The President

In this day and age immigration is a major topic of discussion. Some feel as if immigration is having negative impacts on society, while many others feel as if immigration is something to embrace. With the whole controversy surrounding President Trump building a wall and deporting immigrants, we are gonna take a look into the real effects of it. As we do this we can the decipher whether or not these effects are indeed positive or negative. Although many people and government organizations believe immigration is the cause of many problems in America such as crime and the loss of job opportunities in the U.S. , the beneficial rate of immigration outweigh the negative effects many perceive to imply about them.

Borders, gates, fences, and walls create an “us vs. them” mentality. People on one side do not want the other side to cross the border and vice versa. The wall is there to keep people out and keep people in, making the opportunity for someone to cross the wall even harder. Opportunities on either side will most likely be given to people originally from that side, strengthening the mentality of separation and disdain towards either side.

Immigration played a very important role in American history. It is perhaps one of the greatest controversial issues of our present time. Immigration is a major issue because the United States is a nation of immigrants. It is also an important issue because there are millions who live in the United States illegally. Immigrants can become citizens by first becoming lawful permanent residents of the United States and after five years, in most cases, applying for naturalization and be grant US citizenship. We are supposed to welcome immigrants and we should not hate people just because they do not speak our language well or because they are a different color or race. We suppose to value immigration because immigrants are highly motivated people will work hard to become productive members of our society.
