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.

Once immigrants arrive in America, they face having to live in fear of being deported. Over 72,000 immigrants with children were deported in 2013, according to reports confirmed by ICE. In a book I read, Enrique's journey, Enrique was almost deported back to Central America after living for years with his family in America. His daughter had to visit him in jail and wonder if he would be there the next day. It is not our place to split up immigrant families, the so called American Dream is the promise that everyone will be treated equally, regardless of social class or birthplace.

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.

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.

An Immigrant is a person who has citizenship in one country but who enters a different country to set up a permanent residence. Immigrants are motivated to leave their former countries of citizenship, or habitual residence, for a variety of reasons, some enforcement to leave their homeland because of exile, escape from prejudice climate or environmentally induced migration, but the majority came voluntarily because of a lack of local access to resources, a desire for economic prosperity, to find or engage in paid work, to better their standard of living, family reunification, retirement, conflict or natural disaster, or simply the wish to change one's quality of life. Some scholars claim that today’s immigration in American society are debating

At this time, the United States has allowed more immigrants to enter the country than at any time in its history. Over a million legal and illegal immigrants take up residence in the United States each year. I am the immigrant, too. All the other countries people like to come here for the better lives for them and their families. America is a freedom-oriented country, where everyone likes to live. I came here 3 years ago, first, I did not like it, but it is good in here. Now I want to live here with my religions and heritage. American culture is very different from Indian culture. I can mix these cultures and I can live my life. This country gives freedom for however you want to live. Immigration at current magnitude is not fulfilling the interests or demand of this country. Many people believe that immigrant should not come to the United States of America. They think immigrants taking way their places and jobs, but this is not true. I am not totally disagreeing with them. Who ever come to the US they have their own goals and ideas that they follows. An immigrant does not mean to take their jobs from them. America is a melting pot of different cultures. Many people who live here are undocumented immigrants.

Immigrants have been coming to America for better lives for several centuries now. It is hypocritical of us to keep immigrants out of our country, consider that our ancestors were immigrants at one point as well. Allowing immigrants into America helps make us a diverse nation, and being diverse is always a good thing. Being multicultural helps us to learn different things and grow in society. Some may say that building a wall will help us by keeping immigrants out, when it will only keep us from gaining true equality among the masses. The only way to change the past is to move forward and keeping immigrants out keeps from doing exactly that. Immigration policymaking should be by the authority of the federal government.

When immigrants are coming into the United States they are leaving a country and culture that they have lived in most of their lives. Learning about a new society, language barriers, living and working among strangers, and coping with their hardships are some struggles that immigrants face. However, because the United States does have a great diversity, there are many groups of people that can help with the adjustments. According to American Progress, there were 13.5% of the population that were immigrants in 2015. These people with very little skills come to the United States for a better work experience and to be able to pursuit their American Dream. According to the article “Immigration is good for the U.S economy” written by A. Barton Hinkle

Here in America, we have people from all over the world who come to settle in our country. Whether for money, a job, or just to have a new experience, immigrants influence our country and they shape our nation in so many ways. Not only do they bring themselves, but they bring so many other cultural elements with them that they start to incorporate themselves into everyday American life. America isn’t just the land of the red, white, and blue; it’s so much more. This diversity is nothing new though; immigrants have been coming to the United States for year. One state in particular has been impacted heavily by people from Europe, Asia, and Africa.
