The Pros And Cons Of Immigrants

No one wants to leave their country, but war, famine, and employment can cause people to migrate to find a peaceful place to stay. More than a million undocumented immigrants migrate to America every year searching for jobs and safe places for their families to stay, Because of this, every undocumented immigrant in America should be granted citizenship. The U.S government should allow the immigrants who are here illegally to become U.S citizens. Many of the undocumented immigrants do their best to assimilate, pay their taxes, and contribute to American traditions and culture. Their contributions to our country have done so much for the people, we should be honored to have them.

1 million immigrants move to America each year due to it being an exceptional nation. We are an exceptional nation because we have more rights than any other country, we are more equal than most, and we also have more of a choice in our government than the rest of the world. America is the one country everybody is fighting to get into due to its amount of freedom.

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” That statement holds strong for immigrants in America. Equal access to opportunities allows immigrants to achieve the American dream. Their success correlates with America’s success because of the contributions immigrants provide to America. Unfortunately, the current immigration policy in America denies many immigrants the American dream. It is crucial to understand the historical context of immigration in America. Initially, most immigrants were from Europe and were not restricted by any immigration laws. Now, most immigrants come from Latin America but are restricted to severe immigration laws. The Latino/a community is one of the most

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

June 2012 was a year with a huge break through on illegal immigration, and the fight to set the decision right. Opportunities to improve immigrants careers, schooling, and lives, who were born in the United States and plan on staying are on the rise. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was created to provide immigrants with an opportunity to stay in the States “legally,” but continue their lives through education if graduating from an U.S. high school, going to college, serving in the armed forces, and eventually gain citizenship in the United States. Many U.S. citizen have many thoughts and views on illegal immigrants and immigration in general, and the pros and cons to having DACA support illegal immigrants to stay in the country. There is a huge decision in process currently in 2017 that is putting DACA in risk from being a Federal Program that would end up effecting many immigrants. Threatening deportation and the possibility of losing everything that DREAMers have worked up to and for and are continuing to work towards is at a huge risk of just being thrown away. Keeping DACA and protecting the DREAMers is important because mentally and physically they are just as much of a U.S. citizen as anyone else born in the U.S.

“I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. When I got here, I found out three things. First, the streets weren’t paved with gold; second, they weren’t paved at all: and third, I was expected to pave them” an old Italian immigrant once said. Immigrants faced many obstacles coming to America such as finding work, finding a place to live, acclimating to their new surroundings and learning to communicate. When immigrants came to America, they expected their life to become better and have an easier life.

Undocumented immigrant is that he or she is a foreign-born person who doesn't have a legal right to be or remain in the United States. Some of the immigrants were brought to America when they were kids and this is the only country they have known. In the real sense they are Americans but without regal status America has been known to be a refuge immigrants, many have come to America and succeeded in life some even creating multibillion business entities. In my opinion, there should be a way to give them regal status as there are a large group of them who have no connection with their country of origin.

Regardless of the common claims that are directed at immigrants, there are many statistics that support the more positive aspect of these “aliens.” One of the many things that cause many people to oppose immigration are that many immigrants have low living standards or are simply living off of government welfare programs. The Center for American Progress actually stated that “Less than one in five immigrants live in poverty, and they are no more likely to use social services than the native-born Americans” (CAP,

Whether to grant illegal immigrants full amnesty or not is a very controversial and important question in today's society. As David Decrosse explains, amnesty means, “lifting a penalty associated with an entire class of people who have violated a law.” Some people might think that American authority deporting illegal immigrants with little repercussions is amnesty, but full amnesty would mean letting the immigrants stay in America and have a regulated job. If amnesty is granted the economy would benefit, it is morally right, and it would not hurt the society in any way.

Immigrants are bad for the U.S because they are taking the scarce amount of jobs that citizens are fighting for.First off, according to Howard W. Foster a lawyer whose main cases are involving the employment of illegal immigrants, over 450,000 legal immigrants come to the U.S every year, and over 700,000 illegal immigrants come to the U.S every year and are fighting with citizens to get their jobs. Since there are not that much jobs out there, with over one million immigrants they should not be priority over citizens who deserve these jobs.Another piece of evidence from Howard Foster shows that immigrants are bad for the U.S because most of the immigrants coming over are uneducated and have no experience with any technical jobs, so they have

Immigrants contribute to the US economy more than they take form it. There is an estimated 45.3 million legal immigrant in the United States. Immigrants accounted for 47% of the workforce in the United States over the past ten years.

Along with its economic classes, American is known for its freedom, its liberty, and the melting pot of ethnicity. This ethnic diversity comes form the immigrant population in the country. However this perfect country is a major falsehood. These untrue ideals of harmony, freedom, success, and equality are deceptive and do not show the struggles that immigrants face when coming to this class dominated country. The immigrants of today do not come from just Europe, but overwhelmingly from Asia and Latin America. “They are driving a demographic shift so rapid that within the lifetimes of today 's teenagers, no one ethnic group – including whites of European descent – will comprise a majority of the nation 's population’ (Colombo, Cullen, Lisle). These immigrants challenge the social myth that everyone has an equal chance in life. They

In the United States of America, for most regions the dominate religion is Christianity. Christian values of generosity, equality, and respect may come off as stable and universally accepted for improving human life. However, there is misconception to this thinking with these values it means Americans hold themselves to a high standard within there group, and lower out groups. In todays administration, President Donald Trump Christian values is influencing his actions against Undocumented Immigrants for the improvement of the citizens of the United States in order to, “Make America Great again”. Toleration of Undocumented Immigrants is a phenomenon that is rooted beyond an understanding, but more from psychological intentions.

Children of undocumented immigrants are entitled to public education, because the U.S. constitution guarantees that migrant children and children born in the U.S. have equal educational opportunities. European immigrants migrated to the United States without question of their legal status, and were able to easily blend in, however, in the current time, race plays a great part in how people perceive undocumented migrants. Children are the future of our country and their education shouldn’t be determined by their parent’s legal status. I plan to use this article to explain how immigrants are treated differently than they were in the past, and how race may play a role into it.

Immigration is the movement through which an individual permanently moves from their place of residence from one country to another. Immigration is a topic which divides political parties and general debate. Whilst some people see the positives of immigration, such as the filling of skill gaps in low and highly skilled jobs, others see the negatives of immigration, such as the strain on services such as the NHS, schools and housing.
