Many people know that immigration is a big issue that can affect anyone in the world. It can affect people mentally and physically. There are many ways to prevent this issue. Maybe we can write letters to the president about how we feel about this issue. Immigration is one of the major issues in the U.S or maybe the world.Imagine if you had to leave your country, but couldn’t because you didn’t have a passport or a green card. Why is immigration a thing. People should be able to come in and out of the country without questions being asked. And the whole WALL idea will just make things 10x worse. Immigration is something EVERYONE should protest against. Like EVERYONE IN THE WORLD should protest against. The whole green card and passport idea isn’t really a good one. Everyone might think that it is ok to use a passport, but some people can’t afford them and if they need to leave the country, they would have to sneak over the border which will cause jail time. Immigration shouldn’t be a global issue.
In 2014, 47 % of immigrants were naturalized U.S citizens. According to the USCIS , the quote states: “The United States has a long history of welcoming immigrants from all

Or protest against this issue. My grandparents were immigrants and they paid a large amount of money JUST to get a passport and go to Ellis Island. ( Ellis Island was built in 1892 Its purpose was to certify immigrants and make sure they don’t have any diseases.) In my opinion, I believe that building a wall to stop illegal immigration should be stopped because maybe some people cross the border illegally just to escape war or maybe this wall might start a war and many people would want to leave. Immigration is pretty bad. Just like gun violence and homes for the homeless. All problems are bad, but immigration is the most unforgivable process because you shouldn’t need to leave your country for no
Most people came to the United States from other countries as immigrants, whether it was
The immigration debate has been in the news a great deal recently. Most of the attention has been focused on the illegal immigrants entering our country from Mexico, mostly Hispanics and Latinos. Uncontrolled immigration is harmful to the United States. It harms the American worker and it harms the American economy. The open borders are a threat to national security because terrorists, smugglers, and drug dealers can also freely cross the border. These key facts cannot be ignored and outweigh the claims that race and ethnicity are part of the debate. Immigration should be restricted and a better I.D. system would help stabilize the immigration problem.
This article pertains to the contentious issue of illegal immigration. Following the election of President Donald Trump in the United States, amnesty policies and laws have become obsolete. Furthermore, President Trump has promised to enforce immigration law and deport illegal and criminal aliens from the United States. Canada has seen a huge influx of economic migrants who illegal enter Canada, many of these are crossing from Minnesota into Manitoba, their failure to cross from a port of entry constitutes an illegal border crossing. Recently, there has been a movement among ‘bleeding heart’ politicians to declare cities as ‘Sanctuary Cities’. A Sanctuary City is one which provides safe haven for illegal immigrants and protects them from
Other countries see the United States as a land of opportunity and freedom. Because of this, Americans should be honored and willing to share their concept of freedom and equality with others. Instead, immigrants are forced to jump through hoops and struggle with red tape in hopes of experiencing American life. Currently, this hyped preconception is causing the immigration rate to become out of hand. With the illegal immigrate population growing by over 300,000 annually, it has developed into a national controversy. Like pouring sugar into a cup of coffee: some people don’t want any at all, while others think “the more the merrier”. This rift between parties will only be bridged by implementing a new, reformed immigration policy that incorporates the best of both worlds.
Immigration has been the major source for America’s growth.The United States has the most immigrants in the world ("Nation of Immigrants"). Russia has the second most with only one fourth the number in America ("Nation of Immigrants"). The United States currently has over 40 million immigrants (Kirkwood). About 28 percent of immigrants in America are illegal (Kirkwood). Those 11 million illegals make up about 3.5 percent of the U.S. population (Kirkwood). This huge number grows every day as more and more people cross the border illegally.
For over ten years, efforts to make changes to the United States immigration system have been put aside due to wars, attacks within our homeland and even worldwide financial crisis but it seems as though this being brought up more and more often. The history of the US immigration policy was more concerned with immigration enforcement over immigration reform. It was not until a few years ago that the US citizens voted they were tired of enforcement-only immigration policies and the pain they caused on immigrant families. So most feel now is the time to draw up new immigration laws that reflect American values and beliefs, and it ne...
Immigration has played a major role in the economy of the United States, creating both deficits and surpluses in the U.S. economy. Arguments have been made that immigration brings more negative effects to the United States economy than it does positive, whereas on the other hand, people claim that immigrants have taken a major weight of the economy of the U.S. and has even allowed the economy to make significant growths. Considering the fact that the total accountable population of the U.S. is said to be made up of approximately 13% of immigrants, many arguments have been made for and against the entrance of immigrants into the United States. Immigration has effects upon the work force, the living conditions, the poverty rates, and other contributing
Immigration has been a problem for so many years. This issue began in the 19th century and yet is still a major problem in the U.S. Illegal immigrants don't have many rights living in the U.S. They have a hard life because they don't have the same opportunities as a u.s citizen has. Many of these people get treated unfairly simply because of the fact that they are illegal. There is cases where they have been treated aggressively by the authority. Everyone needs equality no matter where they are from. Most of these immigrants are latinos that come from central america. People from the united states are allowed to go and have a nice vacation in these places but yet those there have to cross a border and put their life at risk just to have a better life. Why do these people have to risk their lives in look for something better. The united states promises equality and this is what attracts others and its sad that they can’t come in legally without having to risk their lives. The ones that are here are working hard and most of them do no harm. Deportation should not be used on illegal immigrants.
Throughout the past centuries, immigration has had many positive and negative impacts on our country and society. Law and order have been the founding cornerstone of our democracy, and the mandate of the U.S. Constitution is for Congress to do the work of the people and that of the nation. Immigration has continuously been a passionate debate within our society. This particular topic will always be a sensitive subject due to Americans personal beliefs and morals.
Wall or no wall? That is a simplistic question on the topic of immigration. According to the ACS, more than 11.4 million immigrants from Mexico alone reside in the United States as of 2014. Since then that number has grown substantially, but is that such a bad thing? Many people say that immigration is harming the United States as well as its economy. On the other hand, I believe that immigration benefits the country for several reasons. Immigration economically benefits America, our economy would collapse if all of immigrants left, and freedom is a fundamental liberty to all human beings. Those are just a few reason that immigration is a positive thing. Immigrants who are in America economically
In the 21st century being “political correct” has not only become a conversation between amongst peers but it is now swaying our political processes and presidential race. Often times people are more concerned about being political correct rather then being truthful. What is and is not appropriate to say to fellow American’s. What may or may not be offensive to those around us. Now while we should take precaution to those around us some things are inevitable to stay the same. In today’s society one of the most talked about subjects is, is it appropriate to call people in our country illegally “aliens”. The illegal alien term should not be changed in order to conserve the feelings of those that
Immigration has been a cause of tension in America for many decades. It is a continuous battle between the Senators, the Representatives, the President, and of course the people currently residing in the United States. Immigration not only exists now, but it has affected many generations in the past as well. It is a topic that has been the cause of thousands of unresolved controversies. In the Declaration of Independence we see a vital idea that is the foundation of this country, “…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” A statement which was ratified and approved by many of the great Americans, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, among many others. However many still refuse to acknowledge and respect the importance of
Today, immigration has been a very popular topic especially in the media. It has been a subject of intense national debate because of the new election. Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, legal and illegal, from around the world, come here to the United States. Because they feel like the United States has more benefits, and freedom. These people all have different reasons; some hoping to get a better life, some hiding from persecution etc... Many of them believe America is the best place to go. I plan on finding answers to the following questions: Why should/shouldn’t immigrants be allowed to stay? Should we have any restrictions on who is allowed to immigrate to this country? If so, which ones? How does immigration affect the
Immigration poses an ongoing debate in which people are becoming increasingly unsure as to whether immigrants are benefiting their society. This paper will examine three of the main benefits of immigration: the increase in diversity it provides, the rise in skills and labor and the benefits to the economy. Immigration leads to cross-cultural integration, therefore increasing ethnic variety. This increase in diversity is beneficial as it leads to improvements in society, as well as educational development. Increased immigration also means there are more skills and experts available to the hosting countries, as well as extra workers to take up jobs that need filling. Immigration also leads to improvements in the economy as taxes are paid and employment and wages increase.
While immigration for our country is good, the ability to become a legal citizen has become insanely hard, therefore leading immigrants to illegally cross our border, which negatively impacts our country. Immigration is positive for our country’s economy, although illegal immigration is negatively impacting our country. Resolved to join the American way of life, a large number of outsiders have ventured to this extraordinary land to have an existence based upon “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Determined to join the American lifestyle, thousands of immigrants have journeyed to this great land to have a life based upon “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” This country’s backbone is immigration and it started when this country was made.
