Cultural Impact Of Immigration

Immigrants are, and generally have been, an important part of our national community. They are our neighbor, coworkers, and key contributors to our economic system and cultivation. However, some Americans tend to face a series of changes and hostilities with new immigrants. Focusing on these issues is critical to guarantee equal opportunity and human rights for all. As a Cuban-American, I understand how many Americans may feel threatened by immigrants when it comes to the social fiber. However, without people migrating from their home country to the United States, there wouldn’t be half of the civilization there is now. Both of my parents were born and raised in a communist country and being able to escape and come to a nation where everyone

I believe that all of these cultural impacts from immigration are a good thing that most Americans will benefit from. Many Americans believe that immigrants will “steal” jobs away or may cause the country to break up into separate cultural units or even affect the fiscal burden. But in fact, they have very little impact on the wages of residents, including those who are low paid and unskilled. For those who believe that the country will separate into different cultural units, I think that 's not true at all, I think many Americans are not as open minded to different cultures and tend to feel threatened. Because of this many immigrants may feel like a target themselves and will start to feel ashamed of where they came from, since the majority of those around them are not as welcoming as they assumed they’d be. As an American citizen and a child whose parents are immigrants, I say that it is important to be prideful of where you are from. No matter the difference in culture, everyone has equal rights and should be able to express their traditions. By doing so, this will not cause any cultural units in the United States; as a matter of fact, it will teach and show others something new they’ve never experienced. I do not see how taking pride in one’s culture is seen as a

This is a country where people come to escape their poverty and communist countries; to be able to start fresh and provide a great education for their children. There is no harm or threat in that. If many Americans believe that immigrants will steal their jobs, then truthfully, they aren’t doing their very best at it. There should be no fear if you know you are doing everything correctly. The majority of the immigrant children do not speak the same language as everyone else, thus getting an education in the U.S is hard enough for them. Because of this, I feel like no other American child should really feel intimidate in any shape or form. No one should feel threaten, neither the Americans nor the immigrants. We all want the same thing, a decent paying job, a great school, and a nice home. The “threat” that many people feel is due to the fact that they do not enjoy any form of change. If they see something that is out of the ordinary or see someone who is different from them trying to achieve the same goals, they feel overpowered or overruled. It’s all a matter of being in control and not wanting things taken from them. However, as of now, I do not consider immigration to be a threat to any American or their family. I do not see any new cultures joining together and trying to take over, nor do I see any immigrant coming to a new country and try to ruin someone else’s
