Each year in late spring thousands of young students are graduating from high school and are looking forward to begin college. Most students have chosen what college they are going to, have packed and are ready to go and accomplish their dreams. However, there are thousands of students that graduate each year, that have dreams as big as their classmates and will never know what it is like to attend to a college or even visit a college campus. But they have hope that their dreams can be accomplish by passing the Dream Act. There are many reasons why this law should be pass not only would it improve the economy by creating new jobs, but it will help undocumented students accomplish their dreams, and show what a great nation the Unites States is. Studies have shown that if the law is passed the economy will improve. America needs these talents that the student have, their gifts and their drive to success. With the intelligence and the approved of this act better jobs would add up to $329 billion and 1.4 million jobs to the nation’s economy over two decades (Alan Gomez). This law benefits everyone in this country not only the undocumented youths. The Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors know as the Dream Act is a law that would help young undocumented students who are now graduating from high school find a path to legal status and be allow continuing their education to college (What is the Dream Act). Many young adults grew up in America, they have learned to call this wonderful country their home and sending them to their country is just like sending them to an unknown place, where they will not fit. After all the United States was created by immigrants who wanted to be free and create a better life for themselves and... ... middle of paper ... ...r themselves. President Obama announced his new policy, and since that day many of the young illegal immigrants got the chance to get temporary work permits, while they hope for a more permanent solution (p.11). The Dream Act is the future of this young undocumented students and a boost for this country economy the United States can become a better nation by helping them and others. Everyone should be able to accomplish their dreams it does not matter where people have come from if they are rich, poor or what gender they are God made everyone equally even though most people do not consider that. People come to America because it is the only country that offers many things that anyone wishes for and this immigrants only dream of a better life to be someone their parents can be proud of. They just want to accomplish the American Dream and they should be able to do so.
While tangible reasons exists for the need to cut on undocumented immigration, the benefits that illegal immigrants bring to the U.S economy still surpass the arguments against providing undocumented immigrants with legal status. The undocumented immigrants are found in all sectors of the U.S economy and their input needs to be recognized by providing them with legal status to work and improve the economy. They in fact, add circulation to the economy and many benefits that most of american-borns don’t see.
Eleanor Roosevelt said, “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” That statement holds strong for immigrants in America. Equal access to opportunities allows immigrants to achieve the American dream. Their success correlates with America’s success because of the contributions immigrants provide to America. Unfortunately, the current immigration policy in America denies many immigrants the American dream.
They could work, study while paying in-state tuition, and not be burdened with thoughts of potential deportation. Now, however, the one thing that was keeping the young immigrants safe has been terminated. Not only will hundreds of thousands of immigrants no longer be able to work or maybe even go to school once their last DACA renewal expires, but the government now has all the information (names, pictures, home addresses, and even biometrics) they need to deport nearly 800,000 immigrants. So, countless amounts of immigrants are now in more danger of deportation than they were before DACA even existed. Thousands of people who have lived in the United States for a majority of their lives and have no recollection, connections, or, in some cases, even family in their home countries, might now be forced to return to a country that they do not even
Dream Act bill is one of the pathway where the Congress can provide to legal status. The article states: “The DREAM Act would provide a significant boost to our economy, adding $329 billion by 2030. Legal status provides DREAMers with a powerful incentive to get more education, as the provisions are tied to completing high school and some college or military service.” (Fitz) This article demonstrates that when the Congress had given a legal status to undocumented immigrants especially the youth will help them to finish their education. Because of their legal status they will have higher education, which also means they will be obtain a better
Some people think that undocumented children should not be able to attend college because it would encourage too much immigration. In fact, immigration makes America more diverse and makes America respected and a strong independent country. Undocumented
...onvinced that my original question is an important one, therefore I am continuing with this formulation: “This invisible group in United States: the struggles and unsolved problems of undocumented immigrants” is going to be my argument of supporting “Undocumented students”. They deserve the rights to extend their education in order to achieve their American dreams. Their choices shouldn’t be limited by their statues, if they could achieve their academics successfully. United States cannot deprive undocumented immigrants of their academic rights for long term because this is a lost-lost situation. If U.S gives the undocumented immigrants their opportunities, there will be more educated people in the country, and they will give the country back with their skills. As a result, the entire country can move forward as a whole to becoming a better and stronger country.
Having the opportunity of staying in school is very important to illegal immigrants because that means they can realize the American Dream. It is something that every immigrant that comes to the U.S wants to achieve. By applying to the dream act illegal immigrants from the age of sixteen through thirty five can go to school. They are eligible to stay in school and or go to college if they have not done so. For example some of the immigrant students have immense talents that can be used for America’s assistance, but not being able to stay in school they can not succeed. “Thousands of young people have worked hard. But they are being denied that chance to build a better future for themselves and to contribute their skills, talents, and creativity to the country” (Duncan). By having the choice of staying in school, as well as the help it is more exciting to those students that want to become someone in life. Some of the illegal aliens possess some amazing talent...
The United States is in the midst of a major debate over immigrants and their place in our economic and political life. As during other times in our history, immigrants, are being blamed for causing or contributing to the social, economic and political ills of our society. Politicians from both major parties, at both the national and state levels, are promoting a range of punitive legislative proposals that single out immigrants for adverse treatment by the government. Many violate basic civil liberties principles.
After about twelve years of the DREAM Act floating around in congress, many people on both sides of the issue are unsure of what will happen. For some, the fact that it has been around for long without much progress means that the DREAM Act will not pass. On the other side of this issue, the dreamers, continue fighting to keep the DREAM Act alive, so that all the immigrant students can continue to post secondary education, and not have to stop their education at the end of 12th grade. These young immigrants were brought here when they were younger and have lived in the United States most of their life. They are known as dreamers because many of them cannot continue their education due to the barriers placed on them because of their undocumented status. Those who wish to continue to a post secondary education have to pay higher out-of-state tuition rates. The passing of the DREAM Act will provide a path to legalization for educated and dedicated individuals who will continue to contribute a lot to the U.S. economy and in many other ways. The majority of undocumented students were brought to the U.S. when they were small children, and they “should be allowed to have the chance to stay in the country call home” (Bennion).
On the other hand, many people like Michelle Malkin strongly believe that lawmakers should reject the bill and preserve the status quo because the bill would create “advantages for illegal immigrants over the many US-born students who struggle to attain higher education” (Malkin). While both worry about the equality of students in the U.S., they both disagree on whether illegal immigrants deserve the
As an effect legal immigration would make way for new jobs and if more people had more jobs they would more likely invest in the economy. Many immigrants remain illegal due to the long and rigorous applications and tests required to become a legal citizen. As well as hard tests, the fee to apply is a substantial amount especially for poor immigrants looking to immigrate for economic reasons (Swain). Many immigrants protest to lower fees to allow for a more efficient way to gain citizenship. Politicians debate on whether to lower fees often (EdTech). Many politicians believe if the fees where lowered it would allow a large number of immigrants into America. Allowing large number of immigrants could have both positive and negative effects. Crime rates could be increased, at the same time jobs would be created and the economy would begin to increase due to the amount of money spent in
Currently, there are 11.7 million undocumented immigrants in the United States; 6 million of those immigrants are Mexican-born (Preston). Within that undocumented population are individuals who were brought to the States as children. These individuals have grown up in the American culture and consider themselves American, but struggle with being treated as second class citizens due to their undocumented status. On June fifteenth of 2012, the Obama Administration announced the executive order Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This order will allow immigrants who were brought illegally to the U.S. as children to apply for work permits and avoid deportation (Hennessey and Bennett). President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is not only beneficial to it applicants but also to the United States as a whole.
This will be a new evolution for the young people now and the young people to come, this means more educated people, which will change the way our jobs, economy, and development of our countries can be. More young people will explore their horizons and develop to be the best they can be instead of being forced to work a full-time low paying job and hit a dead end.
We have created the land of free. Nonetheless, there have been a number of Immigration Acts in the United States. The first one was the Naturalization act of 1790. Then the immigration act of 1965 passed, and immigration restrictions applied to Mexican Immigrants for the first time. Nearly 30 years later in 1986, the immigration Reform and Control Act was, created which granted amnesty to immigrants that had lived in the United States before 1982. Nevertheless, this later act made it a crime for employers to hire undocumented immigrant workers. In order to create a successful Immigration Reform Policy, the government has to consider several socioeconomic areas including border control, worker programs, education, and the economy. “All the elements of this problem must be addressed together” (Bush 2006)
The American Dream is composed of the freedom to be whatever you want to be, and do whatever you want to do with your life. Education, above all else, is Key when it comes to your future. However, as the education system is today, it no longer seems a privilege, a wondrous opportunity to succeed and to be what you want to be, now it 's more of an obligation, a punishment. It is without a doubt in my mind that the enactment of this bill will restore the education system into what it is supposed to be, a system meant to educate people for their adult life. Not only does this bill allow opportunity to reverse the decision to leave school, but it also allows the students to retain basic skills needed for the work force, and the reduced academic
