The Importance Of Immigrants In America

Although some argue otherwise, immigrants have a positive impact on our society. It is ironic how "within the country founded by Immigrants- Immigrant somehow become a bad word" (K'Naan). Although statistics prove that immigrants do bring overcrowding, drug trafficking, and diseases, they also impact positively on our economy and bring cultural knowledge. Being an immigrant in America is no easy task, they work long hours and most of the time have multiple jobs. Because the American dollar has greater value, immigrants will take any job that pays better than their home country. This often means they do the unwanted jobs of Americans. Immigrants fight hard to work their way to America with the American dream in mind, but once here that dream becomes very distant due to unexpected challenges they faced. In Valeria Luiselli book "Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in Forty Questions", she addresses her experience as an interpreter for immigration court of the state of New York, discussing the stories she has heard with the immigration process. Throughout the book, she explains her view of the lack of sympathy and protection the United States has for the young immigrants. Her purpose to show the difficulties the immigrants go through - their sacrifice, resilience, and strength as they fight to survive and obtain a better life in America can also be seen in K'naan video - "The Hamilton Mixtape: Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)", through his use of symbolism everywhere in the music.

what is considered to be an immigrant to the united states? It 's a person that crosses the border illegally and that isn 't allowed to be part of the unites states unless they have permission to be here with a Visa. Society has given these people so many racial labels that 's beyond hurtful names they 're referred as wetbacks, Alien, and illegally immigrant, but what 's the right way to call these people without referring to them with all these racial characteristic and names that society has given them over the years.

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.

This shows how the growth margin of immigrants in America keeps on increasing each and

The United States of America today resembles a melting pot, because it is filled with many different ethnicities, cultures, and religions, due to the incoming immigrants from different countries. However, there was a time when immigrants were a threat to America, were despised due to economic conflicts, and were socially unaccepted because of their differences. The presence of Immigrants during the 1920s significantly affected America socially and economically, increasing negative attitudes towards the “new immigrants” as evidenced by the First Red Scare, labor and workforce, and societies and neighborhoods.

After the Civil War and the battle had ended on the war field, a new battle arose in the life of the industrialized civilians. It was the time of the Gilded age an era where big businessmen arose and immigrants fled into United States of America. Immigrants from southern and western Europe came in enormous quantities. This grew the population tremendously in the city of New York. Though they made it in America they still faced hardships such as job discrimination, poor housing, and stripped of their culture. Even though the population of immigrants grew consequently the jobs task they could perform did not. The workforce changed tremendously form people working for themselves to people working for a company. This made it difficult for immigrants to get work due to nativism and them having lack of entrepreneurship. 1880 until 1920 was known as “Coming to America”

America is a nation of immigrants; all immigrants came to America for the same as the British settler did for opportunities to improve their lives. According to Detroit Free Press, “On January 15, 2018, Jorge Gracia was deported , and said goodbye to his family; He was brought into the country by an undocumented family member and tried various paths to become a legal resident”. Immigrants affect today's American society in a myriad of ways; however, migrating to the united states is difficult for some who wish to become a citizen of the united states due to a complicated process. The government has made a immigration strict due to certain requirements that must be fulfilled,but limiting restrictions and requirements will reassure the america’s society

Immigration is what has made America what it is today. In fact, there would be no America without immigration; because everyone in the country is an immigrant or their four fathers settled down in United States over the period of time. The United States experienced wave of immigration in the first part of the 19th century and from the 1880s to 1920, where many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic opportunity, and few in 1600 as pilgrims arrived in search of religion. In 17th to 19th century many of the African slaves came to America against their will and rest from the countries such as England, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, China, Germany, and many others have all contributed to populate the United States. And today majority of illegal immigrants comes from Asia and Latin America. Every wave of immigrant brings new ideas, languages, new religions and different cultures, which distributed in the United States as the people interacted with other Americans. Even among those who claims that immigration isn’t beneficial still have to accept that immigrants plays an important role in increasing the overall gross domestic product (G.D.P) of the United States. Immigrants have vital impact in society economically, politically, and culturally.

Although America was built upon immigrants, American citizens had varying degrees of toleration of new immigrants. America was seen as a place of opportunity and freedom which led many travel to America to better their own lives.

No one enjoys leaving their home, but when calamities occur there is sometimes no choice. Due to political and natural disasters, such as the earthquake in 2010, the number of Haitian immigrants in the United States has increased to 700,000 in the last 30 years. Many of these immigrants were encouraged to come to America for safe keeping until the year of 2018. Most of these Haitians have plans to stay in the country illegally. Very few of these immigrants have understanding towards the American life. To help them become legal, the United States can create an adaption program to aid immigrants in acquiring abilities to speak English, maintain economic stability, and provide workers for the United States.

The United States was originally founded by immigrants. As the country started to form, those immigrants started to call themselves “Americans”. As the country grew and prospered, the country was no longer made up of immigrants. Although that didn’t stop the immigrants from coming. Many brought their families which eventually led the government to ask what they should do with them. The DREAM act was proposed which would lead college age immigrants to citizenship. This act proposed that these immigrants would have to have been in the U.S. before the age of 16 and have obtained a GED or a high school diploma. From this they would have Conditional Resident status from which they would be able to get permanent residency through attending an institution of higher learning or serving in the military. There are many who support it, but there are also many who are against the act.

Immigrants have played a crucial role in the development and prosperity of the United States since the conception of the United States. America was built on immigrants without immigrants the United States wouldn’t be a fraction of what it is today. Due to Immigrants from the past America continues to develop and progress at a faster rate than any other country. Keep in mind that everyone in the United States ancestors was once immigrants, so there is no such thing a “pure-native born American”. Immigrants still play a vital role in America's prosperity since the birth of the United States.

Immigrants have played a significant role to strengthen the U.S. economy. There are some distinct factors that would further stimulate the U.S. economy due to immigration. These include; the increased productivity and GDP level, provision of a large number of unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled labors, entrepreneurs and technological innovators, demand for goods and services and the positive fiscal impact on American revenue.

America is and isn’t the land of opportunity for all. America accepts a decent amount immigrants each year. They have to go through a lengthy process, but if they are accepted they can come to America really easily. However, opportunity in America is not as easy as they might think. Life for an immigrant can be slow and arbitrary for a while, and sometimes it might never get better.

“For more than 200 years, our tradition of welcoming immigrants from around the world has given us a tremendous advantage over other nations.” (Obama). Immigration has been the leading topic in the U.S. political debate for decades. Immigration was the start of America. Americans all descended from immigrants so where do the people draw the line? Answer is they do not. Immigration enhances America everyday, immigration makes America the true place of freedom. The U.S. government should allow immigrants who are here illegally to become U.S. citizens because they have created families here, they bring culture to the U.S., and they perform and create jobs that Americans will not.
