The United States is considered a nation of immigrants. Immigration is referred to as the act of coming into a foreign country for the intent of permanent residency. Immigration can happen for multiple reasons: political, economic, religious or personal. Immigrants have been arriving in the United States since the early 20th century when urbanization and industrialization were rapid. The United States acts as a magnet where it attracts people from around the globe. They see America as a land

Then, in 1982, the Supreme Court struck down Texas statute denying public education to illegal immigrant children in Plyler v. Doe. By 1999, 43 states and the district of Columbia had laws providing for bilingual education & ESL instruction. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 folded in bilingual education
Immigration laws have been a subject of debate throughout American history, especially in states such as California and Texas, where immigrant populations are high. Recently, some citizens have been questioning whether we should continue to educate the children of illegal immigrants. While this issue is steeped in emotional controversy, we must not allow divisive "us against them" rhetoric to cloud our thinking.

This year in the United States, thousands of undocumented illegal immigrants entered the United States. “Argument against undocumented immigration is that local, state, and federal governments are burdened with increased costs through their utilization of educational and social systems such as primary and secondary education, health care programs, emergency rooms, welfare, and other anti-poverty programs to which they do not contribute through taxes (Beccera).” Financially strained social services
Illegal immigration has been a problem that has plagued the United States for many years. This problem is not new to the country because thousands of immigrants have crossed over the oceans and Mexican border since our country was founded. The underlying problem is the lack of assimilation to the American ways of life and the acceptance of existing rules and laws. With the already fragile economy and the largely growing unemployment rate Americans must make every effort to close its borders to undocumented
The United States, founded by immigrants 238 years ago, continues to be influenced by the presence of migrants. The first wave of immigrants occurred during the colonial era when the majority of Europeans came in search of better economic opportunities, while others sought religious freedom.

Whether immigrants are coming to America illegally or legally they are immigrating for the same reasons. The big question is what makes an immigrant an illegal immigrant.

Many immigrants immigrate to the United States
