The Pros And Cons Of Open Immigration

There are many pros and cons to the wall on the border of the U.S. and Mexico. The main reason why Trump was doing this was to stop illegal drugs from crossing the border into America. He is hoping that it will stop and America would be great again because we won thave that many illegal drugs and that there wouldn´t be that many terrorist attacks going on like the boston marathon or anything worse than that.

Immigration and naturalization seem to be a relentless ever present concern of the American government. The immigration of different European, Jewish, Asian, and Hispanic groups during different eras of American history have continuously raised interest in how the government should balance America’s reputation for being a welcoming place where anyone can succeed, without sacrificing the economy. One group which was especially targeted and discriminated against by the legal system throughout American history was Asian immigrants. This is evident in naturalization laws, and the results of Supreme Court cases petitioned by predominantly Chinese as well as other Asian groups such as Japanese and Hindus.

Twenty million undocumented immigrants live in the United States today. About one-hundred thousand immigrants cross the border each year, and nearly sixty percent of undocumented immigrants enter the U.S. legally but stay after their visa expires (Wepman 314). To enter the U.S. legally, one must have a secured job in the country. Another way to enter is by having a family member who can prove they can support the person they want to bring into the U.S. Most immigrants do not have a secure job waiting for them, or a family member inside the country. All they have is their family living in poverty, their children not being able to get an education, and their family not having enough to eat or anywhere to sleep. It is extremely expensive and may take up to ten years to go through the legal process.

Modern-day America has put strict boundaries on immigration, but during the 18th and 19th centuries, an open immigration policy was encouraged and accepted. The concept of America as the land of dreamers and new beginnings is now lost due to recent border policies. An open border policy should be implemented in America as it upholds the Constitution, benefits the domestic and international economy, and maintains ethical standards for preserving human life.

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.

Illegal immigration has been an important and serious issue for decades; which affects everyone, both Americans and immigrants themselves. Illegal Immigration has three main purposes: first to find a better life in the ?promise land?, second: free healthcare, and third: for criminal activity. Most illegal immigrants come to America with the best intentions for themselves and/or their families, but many others have alternative motives. The thing that must be remembered is that illegal immigration is illegal. It?s all in the name.

If you had the chance to move to somewhere new where you could escape the previous troubles and horrors you had just experienced, would you? Many immigrants came to the United States because there were many political problems in their homeland that they wanted to get away from and wanted to start over again with a clean slate. They figured that since the U.S. was accepting new people into our country, more and more could come, but that didn't end very well for most immigrants.

“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

Immigrants today are well treated than those back in the mid-1800 and early 1900’s and helped shape America for what it is today. Immigrants is treated as second class citizens often time they are knowing for “stealing other people jobs”. Looking back, immigrants has been improving since and makes up half of the population. “their education levels, the diversity of their jobs, and their wages are improving, and the newest generations of immigrants are assimilating into American society as fast and broadly as the previous ones. simulating into American society as fast and broadly as the previous ones” Immigrants are getting the grasp of the American life. The newer immigrants are learning more quickly than the previous ones. Based on the results

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.

The immigration system as of January 2017 is debilitated, it does not serve in a way that is impacting our socioeconomic conditions in a positive manner. Unskilled immigrants are hurting the American economy in many different ways, such as bringing U.S. dollars out of the country, taking jobs, and advantage of Government assistance.

In my personal opinion, immigration causes multiple debates. I think that Immigration should be allowed to a certain extent. It could be better for the economy, people could get a decent job to support their family and live a happy life, and there has been many businesses built by immigrants. There are many benefits for the economy because of immigration, it provides growth in the labor economy. According to National Academy of Sciences, they conclude that “Immigration supplies workers, which increases GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and has helped the U.S avoid the fate of stagnant economies created by purely demographic forces”. If the immigrants want to cross the border, there should be high restrictions because the U.S wouldn’t want to let anyone that has had a bad history with any drugs or alcohol.

Arguments, discussions, and quarrels about illegal immigrants has been one of the biggest talking points in recent history. The topic of immigration resonates deeply with me, as most of my family have come to this country illegally and had to work extremely hard to obtain the things they have now. I have been blessed enough to have everything I need and more, while others aren't as fortunate which is why it pains me when others talk down upon these immigrants as if these poor people are beneath them. Since the dollar bill is what keeps this country running, any sliver in loss of revenue will cause an uproar, certain people accuse these immigrants of costing the country millions a year with DACA, taking jobs from U.S. citizens, and legalization of illegals could burden the U.S. economy. I asked myself, what affect do immigrants have on the U.S. economy? With this being such a controversial yet important conversation to be had, i have reached the judgement that illegal immigrants help the U.S. economy flourish.

Most people will do anything to pursue their dreams, like coming to a foreign country illegally to get a better education. Sometimes is not a choice, your parents migrate to the foreign country way before you are born, sacrifice everything they have so that you can have a lot more in the future. The United States is a place for dreamers. It´s the land of opportunities and resources that you wouldn't even think of back home. America is where everyone comes to better themselves, how they come here is a different story. Illegal immigration has been going on since 1656 in America (Colonial Immigration Laws - A Study of the Regulation of Immigration by the English Colonies in America, 1900) but today, nothing is of greater concern. However, millions
