The Importance Of Immigrants

The history of deportation goes back to 1798, the Alien and Sedition Acts. This act stated that if a foreigner were to prevent the peace of the country in any way they could be deported without trial. That was the first act put in place for deportation. Up until the

Immigrants are individuals who are trying to improve their life styles for their families within the economy, escape prosecution of gangs, and looking for more in their future. Everyone should have a chance to stay in the United States of America since we are all immigrants. We all travel from all different countries to make the U.S. what is today. Immigrants are not just people trying to take jobs like many say or criminals that the news makes it seem. Each individual has a story to tell. Some are just like you and me or children that are like our little brothers or sisters. Some are women and men like our mothers and fathers that give their life for the best of their

In the United States, US born children also suffer when it comes to immigration and deportation because although they are US born, their parents are not, parents are at major risk of being deported because a large part of them entered the country illegally or with a Visa but remained in the country after it expired. In the past decade, nearly 2 million persons were removed from the country, 81 % of them to Latin America. Of the estimated 11.7 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, 52 % are from Mexico (Passel et al. 2013), placing them at greatest risk for deportation. Because of the workplace raids that occurred in 2006 and 2007, 900 undocumented

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

A comment was made in Facebook about Illegal Immigrants; for example, an acquaintance wrote a comment that said, “I would work in the fields, but not for minimum wage!” Illegal Immigrants work the fields picking legumes for less than minimum wage; farmers pay these rates so that food cost can be minimal for citizens. People are happy when cost of food, goods, and services are low, but once prices go up we complain. Small companies and farmers hire Illegal Immigrants because these people are afraid of deportation. Some employers abuse Illegal Immigrant by overworking, and not providing health care. For instance, employers know that if the person complains they only need to call Immigration and he will be replaced by another. These people encounter obstacles to arrive in the United State and reach the American Dream. Sometimes they even

First of all, immigrants positively benefit the United States in which most of the time is not understood. One of the most important political rights is that all persons born in the U.S. are automatically citizens. Immigrants have been able to live in any place where they please, buy a house, land, or business without restrictions helping the government’s money cycle. Immigrants can seek for jobs, except for certain government jobs that are restricted to U.S. citizens, on an equal balance in ways that bring new

Immigrants are hard workers; however, the Americans are viewing the immigrants as lazy and as a burden to The United States when in actuality research shows that, some immigrants come to The United States legally although they may not have papers to work legally when they first arrive. For many immigrants the process to get legal documentation to work is a long, tedious, and expensive process. Even though this issue is very common, many immigrants are positive and productive contributors in society. On the other hand, there are immigrants who are roaming around the streets, and

The purpose of this essay is to point out that immigrants are a group that are discriminated against and that many of the allegations, in particular the allegation that immigrants avoid paying taxes, are false and misleading. The importance of this topic is to point out the erroneousness of these claims so that people will recognize the merits of immigrants that include honesty, diligence, and assistance to our economy and desist from scapegoating them. Stereotyping immigrants and unjustly accusing them only consequents in spreading lies and myths that can be harmful to our economy (as well as to the individuals involved) since we preclude ourselves form benefitting form their skills and we react in a distorted manner. The essay starts off by introducing the group, before reviewing historical attitude to the group, the unjustness of American attitude towards immigrants, correction of the myth that immigrants avoid paying taxes, and demonstration that immigrants are a resilient and hardworking group. Not only do immigrants even illegal immigrants pay their taxes (even though being ITIN holders they can escape

Over the last quarter of a decade, illegal immigration and enforcement have dominated mainstream policy making (Meisnner, Kerwin, Chishti & Bergeron, 2013). There has been a lot of public debate too, on whether or not the successive governments of the US have been able to effectively address illegal immigration and its enforcement thereof. However, as Meisnner et al. (2013) state, in the wake of the terror attacks of 2001, a paradigm shift appears to have been established, with the enforcement of illegal immigration taking a de facto stance. As such, as Dreby (2012) intimates, the number of immigrants who have been deported or removed from the US since 2001 has risen from 190, 000 to close to 400, 000. Considering the fact that there are more than 11 million illegal immigrants living in America, deportation on such a large scale without a doubt will result in a continuous chain reaction. One such consequence, as The New York University School of Law (2012) states, is that families are inherently broken apart by the removal of a family member. Additionally, there are other psychological and psychosocial impacts on families that are far-reaching. Because of these and many other compelling factors, this paper argues that the US should work to prevent deportations, rather than enforce them.

Recently, there has been a big dispute whether immigrants should be allowed to stay in the country or go back to where ever it is they came from. Though, some people have their reasons that getting rid of immigrants would be a good thing, there are still many reasons that they should be allowed to stay. The main reason immigrants should be able to stay is because of the positive impact that they have on the business community and the economy of the country. From entrepreneurship to cheap labor, immigrants are capable of helping the economy grow stronger.

Everyone deserves to have a equal opportunity in this world to become successful, and the United States is full of possibilities for anyone to make a better living for themselves and their family. Since the 1880s to this day immigrants come to America seeking greater economic opportunity, to practice their religion freely, and to escape poverty and oppression, just as shown in In The Jungle by Upton Sinclair Jurgis and his new found in-laws head to the United States to find a better life, tired of the old countries hierarchies and social rules. So why deny them the same chances natives wouldn't want to live without. Immigrants have enriched our economic, intellectual, social, and cultural life in a number of fundamental respects. Polar to

Immigrants have the rights as any civilian out in the world and should be respected because they also have rights. Not everyone respects immigrants as they should be respected and one major politician is Donald Trump. This very country that we step on everyday expects something good to come out of was created this way by immigrants. The rights of immigrants should be respected as of any other person who has rights. Everybody has rights and those rights were put by the government and they were made into laws. The law is important and one thing that keeps this country going.

Immigrants are an important part of the United States economy and are still looked down upon. While immigrants pay about “$11.6 billion to the economy annually, including nearly $7 billion in sales and excise taxes and $3.6 billion in property taxes,” the United States still charges several thousands of dollars to become a citizen (Chen). Citizens contribute to their country to

Immigrants are people who live in a country that they weren’t born in. The term “illegal immigrants” is used for the people who cross the border without becoming a resident or citizen. Some Americans believe that their country is being taken over by illegal immigrants and that these immigrants don’t deserve to live here. Many immigrants are treated as less than human. Even though immigrants can take over many roles of citizens, immigrants should have more rights because they are discriminated against by US law and immigrants deserve the basic human rights.

Immigrants have been coming to America since the start of this country. However, there is a fine line between an illegal and legal immigrant. Although most immigrants come here in search of a better life for themselves, they do not think about the consequences the rest of the country must fac. Since they are not citizens, they do not receive some of the benefits that an American citizen has, including health care and public schooling. Although they do not have these benefits, they continue receive treatments at hospitals and attend schools, which Americans cannot afford. Illegal immigrants affect the United States’ economy, health care system, and education system in a negative way.
