Why Immigration Is Bad

The attempt of security on the border is good but some of the funds may be wasted and like every federal agency there is some corruption.

The United States is a country that was built on immigration. The first settlers, Native Americans, represent less than 2% of the total population; the remaining 98% of the population are immigrants or decedents of immigrants. Today, the US still has the highest immigration rate in the world with 757,434 naturalizations in the 2012 fiscal year only (US Naturalizations 2012, Department of Homeland security). People try to immigrate to the United States for many reasons. Some people immigrate because they have been granted a refugee status or asylum and other people immigrate to fulfill their dreams. Immigration has an effect on the American society and economy. The US cannot survive without immigrants.

values, talents, and contributions of immigrants. People from all over the world seek the United States for just one honest reason, a better life and future. Most of the immigrant families and their children come from Mexico, Central and South America, and even Asia. These people enter the United States via one of three modes of entry, legal immigration, illegal entry, and as refugees. Because of their legal status, many immigrants are illegible to receive any type of public services such as healthcare and public education. This is something that has been going on for years, and many Americans feel that it is a fair thing to do. By actually providing illegal immigrants to have access to public services the United States could benefit a lot from it, starting with a healthier and safer environment, also, having access to public education will help the economy in the long run, and lastly, after obtaining a college degree, it is extremely possible for them to get a good paying job.

According to Jens Krogstad and Jeffrey Passel, senior demographers at the Pew Research Center, there were 11 million illegal (undocumented) immigrants living in the US in 2014 of 320 million and that number is growing by 700,000 a year.

Since the start of our country, America has been known as a land of immigrants, a melting pot of different cultures and ethnicities working towards the American motto of the land of the free, home of the brave. Since colonial times, immigrants have been an integral part of society, majorly contributing to U.S culture and economy, yet many Americans have always had very conflicting ideas on immigration. Many people look past the benefits immigrants bring to our economy and society and instead scapegoat them for many of the United States’ problems surrounding unemployment and budget. The positive effects of immigrants, both legal and undocumented, in our country far outweighs the negative effects because of their important impact on society and the economic help that American relies on.

Immigration is a big issue today. I.C.E , homeland security, just recently swept around the south west Kansas area. People are getting deported every day in the USA. Immigrants go to the United States to look for good paying jobs to feed the very own mouths of their family. Donald trump, a business leader is fighting the war against immigrants. He does not want them in the USA because supposedly they bring diseases and drugs. He says that's immigrants are taking all the jobs in the USA. Immigrants don't bring any of that stuff in the United States. Immigrants chose to come for various reasons, such as to live in freedom, to practice their religion freely, to escape poverty or oppression, and to make better lives for themselves and their children.

Most American citizens either think or agree that immigrants are stealing their jobs, and ruining the economy; are immigrants causing Americas economy to flounder or are they holding it a float and in need of some reform and change to the immigration system. We may just need to adjust how immigration is handled to reduce that number of undocumented immigrants to reduce the unknown.

In distinction, some people argue that this ban is a good move. A recent poll suggested that 49% of the people support this immigration ban (Kahn). Obviously, one feels better and safer that their country is more secure if the number of people coming from an active war zone is less. This is astonishing in a way, as President Trump has the lowest approval rating, as compared to the past Presidents, yet he has an awful lot of supporters (Kirk). Hoffman, a person who participated in the polls, says that he understands that the country was founded on immigrants, but fears that the refugees are supported by his tax dollars (Kahn). A fair number of American citizens feel the same way about immigrants, that these people steal their jobs,

Immigration has been a part of the United States history since its birth. America is a country that was found and built by immigrants. In the beginning everybody was an immigrant. There were people from all over the globe coming to America with the hope for a better life—which still holds true today. There are countless reasons that people are wanting to come to America today. Some immigrants are fleeing radical governments, while others are escaping countries that are torn with civil war. On the down side, America is not a newly discovered land with wide open land for the taking anymore. She simply cannot accommodate every individual who wishes to live here. Regulating who, when, and the quantity of those who are coming to America is extremely important. Illegal immigration has been a problem in America for decades, and there have been numerous attempts in controlling it.

The United States is known as the country of opportunity, liberty and equality. People come to the United States to give themselves and their children an opportunity to live a better life than the one they had. When Donald Trump became president, many people became fearful of what would happen to them, especially those of Hispanic descent and people from Muslim countries. President Trump started working on changing the immigration policies. According to the Migration Policy Institute, approximately 13.5% (43.3 million) of the U.S. population are immigrants, documented and undocumented, and those are only the ones that the government knows about. Some are deported to México or to their homeland for other reasons such as murdering, illegal trafficking,

For many years immigrants have been coming to the U.S for a better life and refuge. Immigrants do the the dirty jobs such as plumbing, construction, etc.

Immigration is what Makes America Great. Immigration is a beneficial policy for America. Since the early ages immigrants have helped America be the country it is today. An immigrant, by definition, is a person who migrates to another country permanently in hope for a better life. The 2016 presidential election has changed many things. Instead of “Making America Great Again” like Trump says, he has caused all the nationalist, racist people to rise up against immigrants just because they feel like they have a leader who is powerful, who “speaks what is on most Americans' minds – they are just too scared to say it." (Campbell,4) As time flies by, it was starting to seem that in this generation we were becoming together as a nation, where the color

Every year, around one million people are immigrating into the United States both legally and illegally. As of now nearly 40 million immigrants live in the United States; 11.5 million of which came to the country illegally (CNN). That is nearly thirteen percent of the total United States population. The role the United States government plays in the handling of immigration from foreign countries both legal and illegal, plays a vital role in the security of the people of the United States and

“An immigrant is a person who legally comes to a country to take up permanent residence. An “illegal” immigrant is a person who does so without following the established legal procedures of the destination country and who resides in that country without proper visas or other documents.” (source 1)Illegal immigration is changing the lives of many Americans today, and although all illegal immigrants are not bad and are not here by choice, or to hurt anyone, it still affects us each and every day. Illegal immigration has been a problem for many years, and it seems as if it is impossible to control, but according to former mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York it can be controlled. Giuliani stated

For many years, the Midwest has been experiencing a severe population decline as young people leave for college and begin to start their lives in other, bigger, cities. According to authors Patrick J. Carr and Maria J. Kefalas, this decrease in population has caused many problems throughout Iowa, including an aging population, dying small towns, and fewer jobs coming to this state. For many years, the Midwest has been looking for solutions to combat this problem. For example, Governor Vilsack initiated the “Come Back to Iowa, Please” campaign in 2006, there have been various economic incentives to attract people back to their home state, and the “Cool Cities” initiative started in Michigan in 2003, are only a few. Although, a more controversial idea being considered is to attract more immigrants to our state in order to make up for the problems the Midwest has come to face, in recent years (Carr and Kefalas). Many people believe immigration will do more harm than good for our state, though there are actually many benefits that come with having them here: immigrants bring more culture and diversity to this predominantly white state, they are a boost for state and local economies, and they also help to reverse the decline in population. However, in order for the Midwest to see more of the benefits of immigration, there are still many changes that need to be done with federal, state, and local immigration policies in order to make it easier for these immigrants to enter the
