Laws of immigration exist in many countries including the Unites States. To legally move into the United States one must have the government’s authorization to work and live in the country permanently. Those who do not have the authorization violate the law of immigration. That is considered illegal immigration.

Liberals argue that they have the same rights as those who were born in the United States.
Aging Americans benefit from the illegal workers and the United States’ economy benefits. Every year billions of dollars are collected by the Social Security
Administration. At times the administration does not know who paid because when employers send in the W-2 forms many social security numbers do not match with records. That money is hold off until the worker can prove the wages are theirs. This means that illegal immigrants are responsible for the increase of unclaimed social security and pay billions of taxes for retirement benefits that most likely they will not receive. The majority of that money ends up in the Social Security trust funds from which retirees benefit from. Stephen Goss, the chief actuary of the SS
Administration, estimates that immigrants paid $13 billion dollars in which they only received $1 billion in benefits. Gross said, “we estimate that earnings by unauthorized immigrants result in a net positive effect on Social Security

That helps the economy tremendously.
In conclusion, illegal immigration has some positive effects on the United States’ economy. I could not fully identify with either a conservative or a liberal when it comes to illegal immigration. I agree with many conservative ideas. I know that crossing the border illegally does produce negative effects on our environment and I have seen photographs showing all the trash left behind. We come from various countries but we all share planet Earth and it is our duty to take care of it. Trash left behind has affected the wildlife in that area. But, I am biased since my parents were once illegal immigrants. My mother is from Guatemala and my father from Mexico. They immigrated to California many years ago, they do not have a GED diploma but they have worked so hard for many years, paid their taxes and never committed a crime.
They are now legal citizens. I do not see my parents as a burden to the United States and many other good
emancipate, they must be married, or they need to be in the armed US forces, or you
I come from the small island of Cuba; I was born and raised there as did my parents and my grandparents. When I was ten and we moved to the United States I didn’t think much of it, in my mind I was still Cuban and living in another country would not change my childhood thoughts. While growing up in the U.S. it seemed that whenever an immigrant issue came about all immigrants from all parts of the world had to stand behind it no matter what it was no matter if beneficial or troublesome. I used to think that these actions were justified because all immigrants had to stand up for each other otherwise nobody would.
How the illegal immigrants began is when the U.S. enacted a sweeping immigration law, the Immigration and Nationality Act, “which replaced longstanding national origin which favored Northern Europe with a new system allocation more people from other countries around the world and giving increased close to U.S. residents”. Also, In the year 1965 there was a law that undid national origin which was enacted in the 1920s, those laws were steadily tightening federal limits on immigration with things such as restrictions on certain types of immigrants, such as convicts.

It’s not the immigrants, but the taxes,
For almost the entire existence of the U.S., there has been America’s Spanish friend, Mexico. Americans and Mexicans have traveled back and forth from country to country for years without quarrel, even if there were some differences and conflicts in the past. Now, as the world becomes more populated, more people are wanting to come into America. People from China, India, Korea, and America’s good friend, Mexico. Only, this alliance may fall short very soon. In America, its citizens have learned to accept the flow of immigrants into the country; except now President Donald Trump has taken it upon himself to slow the flow of immigration. He has already stopped some countries from coming into the U.S. and made it a primary goal to have a wall.
Immigration takes up more population than most people would think. According to Jens Manuel Krogstad and Jeffrey S. Passel’s article “5 facts about illegal immigration in the U.S.”. In 2014 in the United States we had 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants which makes up 3.5 % of the nation 's population. But our highest unauthorized immigration was in 2007, when we had 12.2 million which is 4 % of the population. Krogstad and Passel also said that Mexicans are about half of the unauthorized immigrants in the country they made up 52 % but the numbers have been declining in 2012 which was 5.9 % which was the smallest. Krogstad and Passel also said that six states make up about 60% of the unauthorized migrants, which are California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. In 2009-2012 in several East Coast states the population increased but in many western states population decreased. In the following states Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, Idaho, Virginia, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania have had unauthorized immigration
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, an illegal alien is “an unauthorized resident immigrant population is defined as all foreign-born non-citizens who is not a legal resident” (CIS).

During the Great War, industrial cities in the North and Midwest profited greatly. However due to white men enlisting in World War I and the United States government halt on immigration from Europe, these industrial cities experienced severe labor shortages. To fulfill these job shortages, northern manufacturers recruited throughout the South causing what is known as The Great Migration, where at least 500,000 African-Americans moved from the South to Northern and Midwestern cities.
Many people desire to come to the Unites States of America. However, the country would be overwhelmed and would simply not be able to support everyone. Therefore, the United States needs to be selective, and allow only the best to come in. This would allow them to contribute and expand the economy. To begin, American employers find it hard to fill all of their jobs. Even with an unemployment rate of 7.6%, as recorded in March 2013, millions of jobs go unoccupied each month. This is mainly due to the lack of skilled workers in many technologically advanced fields and the lack of workers as a whole. STEM fields are expanding at a surprising rate, with the number of jobs growing three times faster than the rest of the economy. However,
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 amount of anger I have right now from reading this comment is terrifying. Migrating to America for many people is a way to start fresh, it's a way for them to give a life to their kids that they couldn't have, it's a way for people to uncover talents that they feared to discover back home. For many people America provided peaceful sleep, something many couldn't have back at home because of the amount of stress they had carried on their shoulders. America is truly a paradise for many people including me and my family, America provided us with a clear mind set, a peaceful environment and a better future for my brother and me. It's very sad to see how American see the world. They totally ignore reality because reality for them is getting drunk
America is occupied with lots of liberals and conservatives which are two distinct beliefs. These two beliefs create controversial opinions in the country economically, politically and socially. Nowadays, most important decisions people make is based on their belief reflecting which belief they would be categorized into. “Conservatives and liberals - just as Republicans and Democrats - have opposing views on several key issues” (Squadrin, 5). Liberals tend to consider everyone’s voices and opinions while conservatives tend to listen to what they want to hear.
Millions of people have migrated from all over the world which results in problems and changes in families. This paper explores the immigrant experience in America, showing how immigrants dealt with hardships, adaptation, losing one 's culture and adaptation to the loss of one 's parent.
Before the Europeans came to America the native Americans had very distinct identities. They were not and are not all the same. They had different beliefs, ways of doing things, social statuses, and functioning communities. Tribes each had different attributes depending on who the people were and where they were located. However when the Europeans came to America many Indians where generalized and stereotyped one of the most common deterring between “Nobel Savages” and “dirty savages.” Whatever adjective used the Europeans collectively used the word savages to refer to the Native Americans dismissing there rich cultural value and complex social systems. One of the most intriguing parts of the reading that fact that Europeans completely dismissed

We all end up everywhere for a reason, my family not so much. My mother is the one that is holder of my family's history, she came here after my grandma did. My grandmother took all her children except my mother. My grandma was jealous of my mom because her dad liked her and my grandma grew hate and hated my mom so she left her. When my mother grew up she left Puerto Rico. She got her papers together and went to school and then decided it was time to come to America. My grandma helped her settle and so did her other family. She met my dad because of my grandma and they had each other only so they fell in love and made a family. My mom is not alive right now but I asked her how immigrating to America was. She loved every moment she said. My father took her
