Why Immigration Will Do More Harm Than Good For Our State

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 has been a controversial topic for the United States for many years and immigration law, which is structured to import workers and family members (Posner, 2013), has been a concerned with mid-term elections and recent events. There has been a lot of attention in the media as of lately due to the entrance of over 57,000 unaccompanied Central Americans entering the country illegally. To take control of the situation Sen John Carnyn and Rep Henry Cuellar proposed a bill that would give birder control the opportunity in deciding rather children should be sent back immediately or if they should be allowed to have a court hearing. If they are allowed to have a court hearing, judges would then be required to make a final decision within seven days. The push for immigrants cases to be moved to an earlier date could undermine children’s rights and lead to a greater backlog of cases considering that it takes children longer to acquire lawyers and the chances of being granted citizenship without a lawyer is significantly lower than the chances of staying if you had a lawyer which is nine out of ten. By speeding up the process such cases would be ignoring the due process rule, would create a higher risk of legal errors, and clients are not being properly aware of their changed court date. For example, in the passage the author mentioned the case in which two illegal immigrants were seeking shelter with their Guatemalan father in Virginia received

I’m an immigrant, I moved to this country three years ago, as many legal and illegal immigrants I believe that we help the economy of this country. There are many immigrants in America and they come from all over the world. By no means I want to assume that they have all had my experiences. In my case I’m here on the pursuit of new opportunities, in my mind, or in the way I was raised by my parents, and how am I supposed to achieve my goals is exactly the way they work every day to support our household, is a discontented mind, it is a hard working mind, a mind that always thinks it has to work harder, acquire more knowledge. This is a generalization; they are plenty of exemptions after all it is good to be hard working, it is good to want a better education for your children and to want a better way of living, everyone has the right to pursuit their dreams. I will focus on how immigration helps United States as compared to the mostly held view that it hurts America.

Imagine being shaken awake by your spouse, exhausted from your twelve hour shift the day before. Devastated, you realize that you accidentally slept in five minutes later than you should have, which will make you late for your job. The business that you work for will now fire you because there is always a willingly and desperate immigrant to replace you. Dependent on each member to provide an income, your family will suffer greatly because of your unemployment. Your family will not be able to make payments for the house or for food. Thus, you will be evicted from your home, thrown on to the streets, and starved. Immigrants faced these hardships in the early 1900s as they were exploited by their boss. Long hours, terrible pay,

For many Americans, the word "immigration" creates up an image of poor, uneducated Mexicans rushing across the border to find minimum wage jobs and opportunities for a better future.The issue of immigration has become a major debate for everyone. Although critics argued of negative impacts of immigrants such as drug trafficking, overcrowding and threatening of American culture, immigrants still have a very great impact in our society.

Immigrants arriving in a new country should make every effort to conform to the social norms of their new environment.

Illegal immigration is a controversial topic discussed in our country everyday. An illegal immigrant is anyone who has illegally crossed some kind of border whether it is by land, water, or air. These people are undocumented, unauthorized and unnaturalized people. In America’s case, these immigrants usually come from the south where the neighboring countries such as Cuba and Mexico reside. Some also come from Canada, but it is not too common. Should illegal immigrants be allowed to live in our country? Is there something that one can do to be legally allowed in the states after being illegal? These illegal immigrants are both beneficial and harmful our country. Whether it is with the

The number of immigrants, legal or illegal, living in the United States has fluctuated over the years, but it does not hide the fact that the American Dream still acts as a beacon to foreigners. People believe coming to America is the key to a better life. With the overflow of our new neighbors, we transform from a single society into a mixture of several cultures. Immigration is causing America to become a tossed salad society (a society in which ethnic and racial groups maintain separate identities, with no dominant culture) which Americans should acknowledge, because it is our own unyielding nature that deprives us of a symbiotic melting pot .

Salvadoran immigration to the United States has been fairly recent, intensifying in the late 80’s until today.

Immigration has affected the United States in many ways. It has created many social and economic differences. One economic factor that immigration has affected is the job market. Many low wage jobs are going to immigrants because they will work for less pay and benefits. This is creating a large unemployment rate. Jobs that could be given to United States Citizens, they are being taken away immigrates. Another economic factor that immigration has affected is the welfare system. People from different countries can easily come to the United States and use our welfare systems. They can receive food stamps, Housing, and WIC. While citizens today that work a 9 to 5 job cannot receive any government assistant. As the author states some political

Daniel Patrick Moynihan and President Johnson proposed two different policies to resolve black poverty.

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

Because in Europe a group of people was being persecuted which is the case of the Jew’s during the 1940’s they decided to immigrate in large waves to many different countries. During this time period 6 million Jew’s died, other’s were lucky enough to hide and escape, and many other’s were fortunate enough to immigrate into a new country. Many Jew’s immigrated to Latin American countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay just to name a few. Immigration for the most part for every country is a good thing.
