The battle between the Democrats and the Republicans is a battle that has gone on ever since the 1900s. The only way that a political party can take over the house is if they are able to address the issues that relevant to the people. Now that elections are around the corner, many candidates are bringing up issues that have been affecting America for a while and how they are going to change it for the better. The issue of immigration has been brought up by both the Democrats and the Republicans, but both don’t seem to come to an agreement on the issue. The Republicans believe that illegal immigrants should not be given the same benefits as a legal citizen, but America should welcome those that come in legally. On the other hand, Democrats believe that the American people should welcome immigrants and find a way to incorporate them into society. As stated previously, the issue of immigration is a very pressing matter to the American society. Because of this reason, it has …show more content…

In this essay, the author

  • Opines that the battle between the democrats and the republicans is a battle that has gone on since the 1900s.
  • Explains that immigration is a pressing issue in american society. the current policy for immigrants can be broken down into four categories: family based, employment, refugees, and the diversity visa program.
  • Explains that immigrants support the economy by paying taxes, creating small businesses, and are hard-working people who strive for the american dream.
  • Explains that immigrants help society, but there are still those who feel immigrants take jobs away from american people and that they are too needy.
  • Concludes that immigration is a pressing issue in america. immigrants can help society, and the political party that is willing to change is the democrats.

The evidence shows that in the long run, immigrants do not reduce native employment rates. But some evidence suggests that in the short run, immigration may slightly reduce native employment because the economy takes the time to adjust to new immigration. Importantly, this effect varies according to the broader economic environment. In particular, when the economy is growing and the labor market is adding jobs, new immigration creates enough jobs even in the short run (and even for the less-educated) to cause no harm to the net employment of native-born workers. But during economic downturns, things do not adjust as quickly. When the economy is weak, new immigration has a small negative impact in the short run on the employment of native-born workers.

    • The Pros And Cons Of Immigration In America
      analytical essay
      Immigrants have done many accomplishments for the U. S and are a critical piece of the puzzle. Immigrants have come to the United States to build a better live for themselves but, in the process have done much more. The topic of immigration is debatable one. Many Americans agree that immigrants are essential to the economy. However, several individuals would disagree. Eric A Ruark and Matthew Graham argue, ‘“Regardless of views about the overall economic effect of immigration, almost all economists agree that poor native workers bear the brunt of its negative consequences” (par.12). Ruark and Graham state that many may have different views on how immigrants have impacted the U. S economy but, most don’t see that natives have to take the negative hit economically. Immigrants are taking away what natives are supposed to be benefiting from, millions of jobs are being taken away from natives by immigrants resulting in a profit for immigrants and nothing for the natives also when it comes to healthcare immigrants inability to pay for medical attention is causing hospitals and emergency rooms to shut down due to the lack of profit and not being able to afford to stay open, which affects the natives who work in these hospitals and ER’s and who go in for medical care. Ruark and Graham fail to realize that immigrants do not come to the U. S to take away what so many have built for themselves

    • The American Dream and Immigration
      explanatory essay
      ...ican born workers have a tendency to have many different skills , which means they would most likely seek different types of jobs. They have a higher chance to start businesses than the American-born workers. Therefore immigrants are not increasing the labor market competition for American born workers but they do affect American workers earnings in a positive way. Studies have shown that “Immigration has caused small but positive gains in wages of American born workers of between 0.1 percent and 0.6 percent between 1990 and 2006”( Greenstone,Looney). However, Immigration may reduce wages for the least skilled workers. But those are the last jobs that the government should look into to protect. The economy was never at its best and with having immigration it makes a more productive economy. The benefits rise time over time with an expanding growth of wealth.

    • The Pros And Cons Of Immigration

      For years, the United States has run into differences of opinions among numerous topics. The Civil War, for example, started because of the difference of opinion, and uncompromising, between free and slave states when it came to the prohibiting slavery within the territories which were not states yet. “Swallowing the dog”, was not an easy thing to do for the confederate soldiers, and although they were defeated, with the most causalities of any war within the United States on both sides, men took sovereignty into their own hands (MrGreen1066, 2012.).

    • Immigrant Labor in the United States
      analytical essay
      The United States cannot afford to lose the economic gains that come from immigrant labor. The economy would be suffering a greater loss if it weren’t for immigrants and their labor contributions, especially during the 2008 U.S. recession. The U.S. economy would most likely worsen if it weren’t for the strong labor force immigrants have provided this country. Despite the mostly negative views native-born Americans have towards immigrants and the economy, their strong representation in the labor forces continues today. Immigrants aren’t taking “American” jobs, they are taking the jobs that Americans don’t want (Delener & Ventilato, 2008). Immigrants contribute to various aspects of the economy, including brining valuable skills to their jobs, contributing to the cost of living through taxes, and the lacked use of welfare, healthcare, and social security when compared to native-born Americans, showing that the United States cannot afford to lose the contribution immigrants bring into the economy.

    • The United States and Illegal Immigration
      analytical essay
      Recently, the U.S. government has been cracking down on illegal aliens and employers are in danger of raids and lawsuits for hiring illegal immigrants. Many employers either do not require any documentation or accept copies of documents (Rousmaniere 24-25), regarding legalization. Immigrants are desired employees and companies continue to hire them even with the risks. By working for lower wages, they keep the costs of goods and services down; the illegal alien work force helps improve the U.S. economy (Nadadur 1037-1052). However, illegal immigrants can have a negative effect when they encroach on American job opportunities (Carter 8). Some economists argue that illegal aliens actually help the host-country’s economy by adding to the labor force. However, other economists state that too many illegal...
