The Pros And Cons Of Immigrants

In the discussion of immigrants living in America, one controversial issue has been whether immigrants living in America have equal opportunities as American citizen do. On the one hand, some people believe that the federal government should be of more assistance to these newcomers by improving there aid programs such as Social Security and Medical. On the other hand, some say that immigrants should not have the same opportunities as others do because they come from another country and they were not born in America. Both undocumented immigrants and those with documents struggle when they come to the United States; because they have low education levels, (health concern) hardly get help from any federal programs, are affected by the fact they

In the reading, “The Immigrant Enclave: Theory and Empirical Examples,” Alejandro Portes and Robert D. Manning primarily discusses the process that immigrants go through as they go about adapting and integrating into their new society. As the reading states, often when immigrants migrate to new societies, it is either for economic reasons as a means of achieving a better life for themselves or that of seeking political asylum as political refugees. A real world example of an immigrant enclave today is that of the thousands of Syrian refugees who emigrated to the United States and other countries in an effort to flee the Syrian civil war. During the midst of the Syrian crisis, many Syrian refugees sought

Thirteen million refugees and about 100 million immigrants have moved across borders within the last several decades (Potocky-Tripodi 2002). Global changes that have currently occured account for an unprecedented movement of individuals across the world in search of better opportunities and conditions.

During 2015 and 2016, thousands of immigrants, from just Syria, Iraq, and other countries in the region, moved westward to the United States. These immigrants left their home countries for the U.S. seeking safety from the ongoing Syrian Civil War and terrorist groups such as ISIS. By not allowing illegal immigrants in the U.S. to become legal citizens, they will face deportation back into those unsafe environments in their home countries. Subsequently, more than 11 million immigrants are estimated to live in the U.S. today. These immigrants are factory workers, teachers, business owners, waiters, and people like every other American. Illegal immigrants should be allowed to become U.S. citizens because their home countries are too dangerous

The issue of immigration has become a major debate for everyone. Many people argue over the negative impacts of immigrants living in America, such as overcrowding, fewer jobs due to immigrants taking them, drug trafficking, and threatening of American culture. However, immigrants still have a positive impact on the American society. The United States is by far the largest destination for immigrants, annually receiving over a million legal immigrants and about seven hundred thousand illegal immigrants. Many people come to the United States to get a better life for themselves, as well as for the education system for their children. Others come to America to practice the freedom and right given to the American people. What many Americans do not

Illegal immigrants are those people who are staying in US without any permit. They are staying here but they birth kids, who are by born US citizen, are need education which is the basic needs. In general, there are five basic needs, foods, shelter, cloth, good treatment and education. Yes, my opinion is, they need to literate the children. It does not matter whether they are illegal kids or kids of illegal people. Mental growth and human development depend on education. If one kid from illegal parents, does get a very good grade. Is it written down on the grade sheet that his parents are illegal? It just says that he got a good grade. To help educate every child, taxpayers should take the responsibility to take some measure to make sure

Our country is known as a country of immigrants. Doors are open all the time for those who are willing to come legally to add an extra values to our nation. Our country needs immigrants who have ideas, skills, and knowledge to allow us leading the world. We do not need immigrants who are willing to enter to our soil illegally and become dependent on our government help. Our country needs people who are proud to be independent, supporting their families, and paying their income taxes. Those taxes help the government improve and build our road, schools, hospitals, and more. If our officials become more tolerant with illegal immigrants, they are automatically facing our country and economy to jeopardy. Our officials should learn from what happen

There are a lot of arguments whether or not illegal aliens should or should not be allowed into another country. People have to realize that the main reason for illegal immigration are for their freedom and/or more job opportunities to allow people to have the ability of supporting their families or even just their self. However, not all illegal immigrants want to come just for jobs but to break the law and sell or take things to earn money.

People from all over the world dream of becoming an American, and some people do get to live out their dreams. These ladies and gentlemen are called immigrants. They bring their hateful hearts, crimes, and illnesses when they leave their manifested countries. I am not saying that every immigrant who comes to America looking for a second chance is bad, but we shouldn't have to take that risks as American citizens. There is terrorists out there making threats towards the American people and we open our doors for them to come in disguised as immigrants and take the risk of being attacked from what we thought were immigrants. This is an unnecessary risk that we can avoid by just saying no!

Many refugees have a hard time living in a different country because it is often very different from where they’re from. Gurung states, “But here in the United States my community continues to

“In that country, rich or poor, a man was free, it was said; he did not have to go into the army, he did not have to pay out his money to rascally officials-he might do as he pleased, and count himself as good as any other man” (Sinclair, 26). This fantasy of American freedom led thousands of immigrants to migrate from 1865-1910 so that they, too, could try their luck at the American Dream. However, these immigrants soon came to realize that the fast-changing social, political, and economic environment they had come to would hold them back rather than let them reach their full potential. Although the immigrants had the basic freedoms that all Americans had, without familiarity of the customs and language of this new society, and exploitation by those in political and economic power that wanted to

Immigration is a worldwide issue. Thousands of people escape from their native countries for various issues which include fleeing from war, violence, or simply fleeing to find a better future elsewhere. Our country itself was born on the basis of European immigrants migrating into the new world to find new lands, people to convert, freedom, and economic prosperity. As thousands of millions of people flow into other countries, they bring with them traditional values that are a custom to them in their native countries. In America specifically, our country is home to millions of immigrants from countries all over the world. So the question is why are some of these immigrants and their descendants considered “American” while others are thought of as outsiders? Many immigrants and their descendants are considered America while others are classified differently because the generation the immigrants is plays a huge role in the classification of the immigrant, the languages and culture the immigrant brings defines him or her, and because some immigrants adapt to their new environment faster than other immigrants.

The American Dream for many immigrants is that if you work hard and dedicate yourself, you can achieve success. Success is what they believe it is. Whether it is buying a house, getting a good job, having a family, sending their kids to college. In recent times, however, the American Dream and the American people have turned its back on the immigrants. The policies of the current president have changed both the citizens and immigrants’ views on what the American Dream is. Conflicting ideologies create tension with policies on issues such as immigration. Many immigrants also believe that with President Trump in charge, their American Dream is dead.

As an adolescent soon entering the world of adulthood, to think about having the program I built my life around ripped out from under me is terrifying. In his article, “If You Want to MAGA, Save DACA”, Bret Stephens effectively convinces his readers of disadvantages of the immigration reform bill introduced by Congress this year by citing an abundance of influential figures and companies that stemmed from accomplished and uneducated immigrant backgrounds and contributed to America’s greatness. Stephens achieves this by employing appeals to logos, ethos, and pathos to persuade The New York Times’ readers of the greatness gained from welcoming immigrants to our shores.

As immigration has risen over the years, immigration enforcement actions have increased as well. Bringing significant physical, emotional, developmental, and economic consequences not only for the parents, but for the children who stay behind. Unfortunately, more children will end up in foster care, leaving an uncertain future for children with many disadvantages to overcome. Up to the present time in the US immigrants from all different countries continue to be one of the most suppressed and diminished groups in the history. From the time they crossed the border to the time they are struggling to survive in a foreign country. Immigration is a current social issue that is separating families.
