The Pros And Cons Of Immigration In The United States

Everybody knows that the United States is a nation of immigrants. Immigration to the United States first began when the first English settlers arrived at Jamestown,Virginia.

The Unites States is founded on immigrants from every part of the world. According to the Migration Policy Institute, the United States attracts the largest number of immigrants in the world (MPI, Webpage). In 2013, the United States has approximately 41.3 million of immigrants, accounting for 13 percent of the overall population (Betalova, 2015). However, not all of the immigrants here in the United States does the right thing, a lot of them come to the country illegally and for a variety of reasons this is a bad thing. These immigrants have come into the country numerous ways and continue to cause controversy. People can all agree that immigration is an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed. However, before addressing this issue, people need to learn more about this situation.

The first effort to control immigration was not to bar immigrants entirely, or turn back those who wanted to travel to the United States, but to set standards for immigration and separate the desirable newcomers who would add to the country from undesirables which would only tear it down. The very first immigration enforcement enacted by Congress was in 1798, and allowed the present to deport anyone that was deemed dangerous to the United States.

Immigration started with Spanish settlers in the 1500’s and eventually moved on to French and English settlers in the 1600’s and so on and so forth. Nearly 1 million immigrants arrive in the United States annually. Though you may see this is as a bad thing, there are actually so many pros to immigration. One of the main pros, though, is that immigrants are taxpayers, consumers, and job creators. The United States benefits from these things in multiple ways such as getting new homes and stores.

I do not believe that immigrants should be able to come to America. When more people come to the America we have to provide more things to make life sustainable for them. Money is being spent, and more problems can be caused. We need to make sure the people wanting to come over know the rules of America, and that they can follow the rules. They should be required to speak english and can have their own language on the side. Not only taking an updated test of the U.S, but given a week on their own here to see if they can handle it and if it is a suitable living style for them. If they can not handle the week living here then they are not fit to migrate over, therefore they truly can not live in America. This will be their own fault and the

In 2009, President Obama became the first African-American president of the United States of America, which makes him the 44th president. President Obama made a lot of promises in his 2008 presidential campaign that he has fulfilled, broken, or compromised. Many Americans know that a promise that a presidential candidate makes is a major deal because those are the reasons in which why the people vote for that candidate. Once those promises are not fulfilled, Americans will feel like the president has failed them. One of the major promises President Obama made was on immigration. He had 6 proposals only involving immigration. Four out of the six proposals President Obama initiated met half way, and two out of the six proposals were not fulfilled.

“When you cross [the border illegally] with the expectation that you’ll be released, there’s no need to hide, there’s no need to run. You just look for a uniformed agent and turn yourself in.”

The fact that 1.25 million immigrants enter the United State per year may frighten many Americans (Card). The fact that that number has risen 8% in the last 43 years may frighten them even more (Penn Wharton). The idea of immigrants in such large amounts may bring to mid people stealing over the border or arriving on boats and planes en mass. They may think about people stealing their jobs, homes, resources, and even their children's’ education. However, as this paper aims to show, immigrants are not a threat to Americans or their society at all. The push to immigrants to leave the country or to be regulated is not necessary nor is it true to American ideas. The United States Government should allow immigrants to continue to enter and live

Illegal immigration has been a problem for the United States for a long time. Illegal immigrants have come into US through either the Mexico border, the Pacific Ocean, or through many other ways. Some people have entered the country legally through a visit visa, but then have stayed illegally and are working in various places. Illegal immigration is a double-edged sword; on the one hand it provides the local economy with cost benefits as the illegal immigrants are not paid so much, while they are more productive. On the other hand, these illegal immigrants do not pay taxes and their employers also do not pay their taxes. There are both pros and cons of illegal immigration and this paper shall take a look at some facts pertinent to illegal immigration in the United States. With so much immigration happening it can be viewed as a social problem perspective and it depends if the immigration affects us for the better or the worse. Also, honestly in time of 2017 illegal immigration is a problem that should addressed at this period of time.

In this paper I will demonstrate that the immigrants in the US are good for the country and they are not that bad or are the criminals that some of the United States’ citizens are talking about them as the worst. In this paper I am to provide reasons that make the immigrants good for the country and how helpful they are and I will prove that the wall that divide Mexico from united states or how US citizens call it the wall that protect us is only a waste of money.

Immigration is necessary in our society because of the benefits it provides, it provides economic growth to the industry, and highly educated immigrants that can also be a key point to our society.

What do you think about immigration? Having immigrants in the country comes with and small amount of upsides and major downsides, and it is not worth it to have all those downsides just to let someone into the country. Immigrants should not be allowed into the country because of all the downsides they come with, it’s just not worth it.

On Monday March 6, President Donald Trump signed a revised executive order that bans immigration from six Muslim countries, including Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Sudan. The previous executive order also included Iraq, but was dropped due to the state’s significant role in the war on ISIS. This order also bans all refugees from coming into the United States for 120 days for the purpose of stronger security in the U.S. But, there are a few flaws in this ban, like the fact that the none of the six countries have committed a terrorist act on U.S. soil in the past 40 years (Gibbs). The ban will prove to be more unsuccessful overall than effective in strengthening the national security. Trump’s travel ban will be detrimental to the global economy because it will

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!

“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
