Emma Lazarus Statue Of Liberty Analysis

191 Words1 Page

Cole, I agree that people often forget who founded this great country and that this country believed in helping all immigrants. Written on a plaque, hung inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, you will find a sonnet, written by Emma Lazarus in 1883, here is an excerpt from that sonnet: "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearing to be free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden shore!" I am reminded of this and its meaning whenever I hear people talking about limiting the number of immigrants allowed into the country. I also agree that building a wall will not slow or even stop people from trying to get into the country. In the

    Those people say that a border wall will help defend the economy of the United States during economic downturns by protecting American jobs. They believe that it is a popular misunderstanding that immigrants only do the types of jobs that native-born Americans will not. For example, many professions including construction, grounds-maintenance, housekeeping, and janitorial services actually have the majority of jobs performed by native-born Americans (Camarota). Every dollar that gets spent on illegal immigrants is a dollar that could have been spent on tax-paying American citizens, who need all the help they can get during these difficult

  • Asylum Seekers Should Be Illegal

    916 Words  | 4 Pages

    My view on immigration is that we should let asylum seekers in, but also we should reallocate money to help those struggling in our own country. We would keep the fence that we have now, to make the people who feel insecure about having an open border feel better. We would limit the amount of people coming in; however, that does not mean that it would be a permanent cap. Considering past laws that banned certain groups of people like the Chinese Exclusions Acts from 1882, 1888, and 1892, people had started to bring anti-American sentiment. If you also look at the arguments against the options of restricting immigration, it talks about how refusing to let asylum seekers in “will fuel anti-American sentiment throughout the world”.

    According to a study released last year by the Pew Hispanic Center, as of 2008, 11.9 million illegal immigrants lived in the United States, more than triple the 3.5 million who lived in the country in 1990 (Izumi). Immigration throughout the years has become a major issue in the U.S because of too many immigrants entering the country year after year. The U.S has come to a point whether they should deport the immigrants back to their country. Believe it or not, these immigrants are a big contribution to the U.S. If it wasn’t for them, the U.S economy wouldn’t be where it stands now.

  • Border Wall Persuasive Essay

    1011 Words  | 5 Pages

    One of America’s most controversial issues today is the border between the United States and Mexico. The big part of the issue is due to illegal immigration, which is when foreigners enter the U.S. without an entry or an immigrant visa. President Trump says he has found a solution, otherwise known as the “border wall,” but this will not stop people from wanting a better life. Of course I get why he and others would want to continue the process obviously to keep us safe from terrorists and other dangers of the world, but, to every pro there is a con. Even though the fence along the U.S./Mexico border is already being built, it should not continue being built because it is expensive, hurts the environment, and immigration rates have significantly dropped.

  • Is Immigration Good Or Bad For America

    136 Words  | 1 Pages

    There is a certain irony to debating whether more immigration is good or bad for America, because unless you are a Native American, you are the product of immigrants. However, the majority of us can never know the feeling of being so completely helpless and hopeless that we give up everything familiar to start over in a foreign land. This requires tremendous strength. America welcomes 675,000 permanent, legal immigrants every year (http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/just-facts/how-united-states-immigration-system-works-fact-sheet), and if immigration stopped there, I think federal and state systems would not have the strain that put everyone on edge. However, when immigration is discussed, it is never about those who hold doctorates, who invest

The manufacture of the wall and maintenance of it alone would cost billions, it would also severely hurt the economy of America. The estimated cost for a border wall spanning the whole 2000 miles between the United States and Mexico would cost 10 to 12 billion dollars. Because the cost is so much we would have to borrow money, this would be the next additional sizable amount to the nationwide debt.

The United States Government should not allow immigrants into America because they are having negative effects on our country. Some negative effects are citizens competing with illegals for jobs, immigrants expecting favors, and Americans not getting to work hard for their money.
