The Importance Of Immigration To The United States

Jose advices people who are thinking to immigrate in the United States that they should because of the opportunities, but to work hard and accomplish the goal they are coming for. For example if they come because of poverty then they need to make sure they accomplish something that will help their family back home. Because, why will you leave your family to immigrate to a new country and in the end do not do anything to make a change or impact in your family.

The United States of America was founded on the principles of immigrants becoming citizens to chase after the dream. Immigration plays a pivotal role in the development of the country through assimilation of those immigrants into society providing diverse skillsets needed in the job market. Many economist claim that a benefit to allowing more legal immigration would allow for more economic growth which would help tremendously chop off some of the $16 trillion dollar debt the nation is currently in (Furchtgott-Roth, 2015). While many illegal immigrants do not pay federal income taxes due to them not being in the system, they still have to pay state and local tax (Mooney et al., 2015, p.284). Companies would not have to worry about paying higher

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.

According to certain society, the definition of an illegal immigrant is an individual or group that has migrated across the national or international borders in a way that violates the immigration law of that country. Most individual’s state that the government should crack down on unlawful immigrants, on the contrary other’s think that the government shouldn’t crack down on the immigrants.

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.

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.

Over the course of time people have been leaving their native land to come to America to better themselves for whatever the reasons may be. Some come to seek freedom and some to find financial stability. Approximately eleven million unauthorized immigrants are living in the United States, and thirty-seven million legal immigrants in the U.S as well. Immigration is one of the most crucial importance to America. There are plenty of reasons for why immigration’s presence is futile, but America would rather focus on bad then good.

Today, immigration is one of most divisive issues facing our nation. Historically, America has had a long and generous tradition of welcoming as equal citizens a large number of immigrants. However, this tradition has been challenged recently by both far left and far right groups who do not agree on the current restrictions, or lack there of, regarding immigration. What seems to be the common ground both sides find is the premise that America’s founding principles continue to be vital in the modern era, "any human being is capable of becoming an American, because of the equality principle that defines America," (pg. 147, Vindicating the Founders'). If we believe in human equality as American's is it fair to deny entry to anyone? In his book, Vindicating the Founders', Thomas G. West provides the best understanding of immigration through the eyes of America's Founders'. And, in doing so West helps find answers to some of the questions current immigration policy has raised. Specifically, we will explore what West calls "the right to exclude".

If your next-door neighbors were sitting in the rain and hungry would you put a roof over their head and feed them before your own family and children? Then why is the U.S. doing it for legal and illegal immigrants? Until every U.S citizen has a roof over their head and food in their stomach immigration should be limited. There are too many of our resources going to immigrants that should be used for U.S. citizens first, like housing, medical, food and many others. Over the past decade immigration into the U.S. has been on the constant rise making it harder for American’s to get the help and resources that they need and deserve. Immigrants are willing to work for less and under the table making it harder for American’s to find jobs, the use

Throughout our history, The United States of America has been a strong country. We’ve fought in two world wars, helped third nation countries, and struggled to get our freedom. Our forefathers based this country off the freedoms they wanted, the freedoms that England kept from them. These freedoms appealed to numerous immigrants from foreign countries, causing a gigantic migration of immigrants to the United States in the 1900s. This enormous migration of people has helped strengthen our country the most out of the several other factors. Immigrants lead to the United States’ success by boosting our economy, assisted us in creating new inventions, and helping industrialize our country by taking jobs that no one else wanted.

Immigration is vital in the United States because it builds our economy, fills a large gap in technological jobs and protects them possible danger

Throughout the 19th and 20th century America has made their decision indecisive on whether to allow immigrants to come to America or not, because of overpopulation and the destruction of the American citizenship. However, America was marketed as a free country and was a place for immigrants to start over, and have a better life. The immigration restriction act however, was passed in 1901, and restricted all immigrants from America. Immigration should not have been restricted in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s because America was advertised as a country full of opportunity for everyone and these restrictions would go against this principle. In 1880 an unknown illustrator draw a cartoon called, “Arc of Refugee”. In the cartoon the illustrator draws a reference to Noah's Ark, but instead of Noah and his animals which were supposed to be used to start a new life, it's Uncle Sam as Noah taking in a male and female immigrant from different countries for them to start over a new life a better life in America. We can also see in this message on the side of the arc, as the people continue to move ahead, signs saying things like ” no oppressive taxes” “ no expenses Kings” “ no compulsory military service” and “ no knout or dungeons” Also next to Uncle Sam it says, “ free education, free land, free speech, free valid, free LUNCH” (Arc of Refugee illustration). This is a resemblance of America advertising better things trying to persuade immigrants to come to America for better treatment and a better life. The illustrator of this drawing shows his opinion as being against immigration restriction because as we see in the image he has Uncle Sam welcoming immigrants for better lives and wants them to have all the perks of Living in America, like free education free land, free speech, free vote, etc. If immigration was restricted at this time the people coming to America for better right would have to continuously live as they were being deprived of their proper right and wouldn't be able to migrate. America can not advertise these perks of immigrating to America if they're going to restrict immigration. Later, in 1915, the US passed the literacy test act, this is when immigrants must take a test, and can only

Throughout the history of United States of America, immigration has grown to important parts of our life. Many politicians tried to improve and control immigration, by giving foreigners all over the world chance to explore “The American Dream”. Therefore, during the presidential race, immigration always became a hot topic as politicians debated about how to handle the large number of illegal immigrants in the United States. But these debates are nothing new. Historically, Americans have frequently scorned new arrivals, despite the fact that their ancestors were also immigrants. Past presidents, Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Barack Obama has also made negative and positive comments on the immigration. During Bill Clinton’s term in office, President

Day in and day out, immigrants work hard to achieve permanent residency or citizenship in the U.S. and live in constant fear. While some Americans understand the importance of immigration and believe immigration strengthens the American society, others are taking it to social media to express their humor or anti-immigration feelings. A few are even going to the extent of approaching certain people of immigrant groups and attacking immigrant groups with foul language and violence. One such incident occurred just a few months ago in February. Adam W. Purinton, a white Kansas resident, was kicked out of a bar because he was questioning two Indian bar patrons’ immigration status and throwing racial slurs at them. Angry Purinton went back to the bar with a handgun that same night and shot the two Indians killing one and wounding the other. Later in court, it was said that Purinton shot them “because of their actual and perceived race, color, religion and national origin.” Not even two weeks later, an Indian-born man was outside his house in Seattle when an attacker shouted “Go back to your own country” before shooting him in the arm. Incidents like these are leaving many Indian immigrants worried for themselves and their families. As an Indian-born immigrant myself, I feel the need to address the importance of Indian immigration, the basic immigration process, and some underlying struggles the immigrants face.

Each and every day, immigrants leave their countries and come to the United States to have better lives. Sometimes they are escaping problems such as natural disasters, religious persecution, and civil war. In most cases, when they come here they are welcomed with open arms. Immigrants are given the opportunity to start a new life away from the suffering that they had been experiencing. However, some of those who come here have ulterior motives that they may follow by exploiting our generosity. These people may be extremists, terrorists, criminals, etc. Those with these malicious backgrounds and intentions must be prevented from entering our country and causing mayhem. For these reasons, I do believe that we should have restrictions on who can immigrate to the United States. Allowing certain people from other countries into the United States puts the whole country in danger. We cannot always be entirely sure that who we are allowing into the country does not present a threat to our national security. Although not all immigrants are dangerous and want to harm us, we still need to be cautious. Overall, there are too many risks involved with allowing certain people in the U.S. that may harbor hate for us.
