The Pros And Cons Of Immigrants In The United States

Immigrants leave their country for America because it is supposed to be a better place. A

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.

An American citizen who visits other countries is somehow automatically protected, held to certain regards and given certain liberties, which sometimes the “Citizens” of those countries do not receive. Americans can travel to just about any country without a visa or any form of legal documents. Aside from a passport, they can choose to reside in that country simply because they want to without any form of backlash, ill treatment, or fear for their lives. They get some of the better jobs pushing the locals out of those positions. Therefore, illegal immigrants in the United States do have some constitutional rights that citizens have.

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.

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.

In the late 1800s, the era of immigration had begun. America’s borders were flooded with various ethnic groups pursuing the “American Dream”, an opportunity to better oneself through hard work and perseverance. Yet for most people, the “American Dream” never came true, because of difficult and dangerous work, few advancement opportunities, and racism. The Slovak families in Out of This Furnace, the Krachas and Dobrejcaks, provide good examples. The first members of these families, Djuro Kracha and Mike Dobrejcak, were first generation Slovak immigrants. These two men and other members of their families, like Kracha’s daughter Mary and Mike’s son Dobie, never achieved the lasting material prosperity that was the American Dream. Much of their

Do we need immigrants? Immigrants have been helping for decades. Some people say that US would be better off without immigrants but then think about it who is going to help the US through it’s hard times. For many years the United States has tried different ways to get rid of immigrants but so far none of ways have done any major damage.Because immigrants power the US economy by taking low jobs that most people don't really want to do, they work in the fields especially in california to grow food for not only california but for the whole nation, and most foreign workers are smart so they have jobs like doctors, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, etc. Immigration is a purpose of an increasing world that helps promote movement of people,

It may be stereotypical to say that many successful doctors come from India. What if I told you that most foreign-born immigrants are very successful in America, would you believe me? Immigrants possess a unique work ethic which is much different from those born here in the United States of America. Their upbringing, lack of economy, food, shelter, etc. makes them who they are. They take initiative to achieve more because they came from less, whereas most of us in the U.S. has had privileges.

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

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.

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.

A rational view outside the norm, realizing minorities, for example, woman suffrage, slavery, etc., all have gone through what immigration is going through today. My thoughts on, immigration becoming legal whether an individual crossed with or without permission, the United States government could focus on real criminals. Often Illegals considered criminals due to crossing the border without permission yet not all the people crossing are trying to destroy the United States or create complications. Because people move countries with the push and pull factors, leave their country for reasons such as poverty, and pulled in by job opportunities. If immigration were to become legal looking back on the treatment of some immigrants seems unmoral

Immigration is extremely controversial. For some like businesses, the people that are coming from Mexico are looking for a job, and they do not care how much they get paid they want a job because they are trying to pursue a higher standard of living that they do not have in their native country. Because of this fact, most businesses will lower the pay wage for these people because they won't complain like most American that are born here. Another advantage of hiring these kind of people is that they could be translators for business and they could have extensive knowledge of that certain culture in which you or your current employees do not.
