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.

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”

another country or region to which one is not native. Coming from a whole different lifestyle and culture, those who immigrate into the U.S. are hit with overwhelming changes. Although citizenship has its advantages, many immigrants have too much pride or love for their country that they choose to stay immigrants rather than become fully documented citizens. It is important to understand how they are viewed differently so people can work towards citizenship. Citizens and immigrants differ mainly in the resources they are provided with, such as opportunities, work ethic, and education.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Federal government have many resources to help a business stay open , so it can help the U.S. economy. There are many ways the U.S. government can help business from reducing taxes or reducing barriers. One thing I find that the government can do to help business and the economy is immigration reform for immigrants that are trying to open up businesses so they can provide for their family. Based on the White House website, it shows that immigrants are 30% more likely to start a business in the U.S. that non-native immigrants and 18% of all small business owners in the U.S. are immigrants. And these same small businesses are providing employment to the population which helps reduce the employment rate and also benefits the economy. According

Many Americans believe that we are a “nation of immigrants”, while this is a current hot topic and still being discussed today by the United States President, whether the United States should continue to let immigrants into the country as often or easily as it ever has been in recents years. While this is mainly a issue of an economic matter, gain rather than liberty or the fact that immigrants coming to America is only taking away what Americans already have. On the other hand many Americans are filled with doubt and fear that immigrants may not be here for the right reasons, or to fulfill the ‘American values’. This idea has come to light during many times within America, starting with the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001 or the Boston Marathon Bombings on April 15, 2013. Although many have the fear of immigrants and what their intentions are, some would disagree that immigrants are here for a better life or a new start. Despite your position is on this topic, it has come to the point where we must address this issue.

Is there anyone who knows a working Immigrant in the United States or a business owned by one? According to the Center of Immigration Studies (2010), 16% of the total U.S Labor force are Immigrants. With these number, it is safe to say that the United States of America is a country driven by immigrants. They travel from all different parts of the world to the US for various reasons. What draws and brings a lot of these immigrants to this country are things that normal Americans take for granted. Education, jobs, healthcare, water, freedom of speech and religion and not to mention that many of these immigrants come to the US to chase what is so called the “American Dream”. It is these rights that seem to be granted for by many American born citizens that have caught many immigrant’s attention. The abuse of these rights has led to a controversial debate in congress on whether the Government should limit how many Immigrants come to the US or eliminate the Diversity Visa Lottery Program which allows immigrants from different countries to apply for a Green Card and become permanent residents. Currently, the Government allows up to 250,000 thousand Immigrants from different countries depending on their geographic location. Congress should not put a limit to how many immigrants come to the US every year or eliminate the Diversity Visa Lottery Program because immigrants are the ones that make this country what it is today both economically and
