Argumentative Essay On Mexican Immigration

246 Words1 Page

I believe this article was written from a conservative’s point of view. First text says “we’re starting to see change in the media narrative”. Second text says “It doesn’t happen immediately, but everything with Latinos points to a very typical pattern of integration in American life in a generation or two.” Third text says “let’s hope we see more of these kinds of pieces in the days and weeks leading up to the debate on Capitol Hill.” The person who wrote this article is very cautious about change being done with the Mexican immigrants. Many other people are arguing that Immigration is a threat to the American identity, but this person does not right away agree with it. I believe the main point of the writer is that many politicians are arguing

    The issue of immigration is a growing issue with two sides, people who accept immigrants coming into their nation and people who do not and believe that these immigrants should go back to their foreign lands. I believe immigration is not about the two sides but about the reason why they’re coming into the nation and how can they benefit us? The answer to that is that immigration is a good thing for a nation because it benefits both the immigrants who are most likely looking for new opportunities for themselves or for their future generations and for the country, changing its society for the better. Immigrants make the economy grow because they will enter labor work forces that some are not willing to take due to dreams of higher paying careers or lack of qualifications.

  • Argumentative Essay On Immigration In America

    1125 Words  | 5 Pages

    In some people’s minds, they automatically assume yes, but in reality, it’s a no, immigrants tend to perform labor, and do minimal jobs that Americans don’t, and won't do, so they mistake that as immigrants taking ‘Americans job’, but it’s actually a missed opportunity. One reason for people not taking the jobs is because of the hours, the next reason is the pay might not satisfy a legal immigrant, and people born in America, another reason is it wouldn’t be able to support a regular American family, but they will be able to support an illegal immigrant.
