“Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.” Immigration laws have inevitably resulted in a situation where many illegal immigrants live and work in the United States, but it is also an issue that has been blown out of proportion by the media and politicians, such as Donald trump. Illegal aliens are accused of bringing drugs and statutory offense to the United States, as well as take away millions of jobs and take away trillions of dollars from the country for getting free healthcare and food stamps. The united states has had an increase of 20% in the immigrant population in the past 10 years and it went from 35.1 …show more content…

The truth is that 86% of americans were not willing to perform these jobs and that is why hispanics took over. Some jobs include farming, construction, but the most popular hispanic jobs is in landscaping as an american would say but actually the most common job that latinos do is work in restaurant. America is at an all time low for unemployment at 4.7%-5.1% being unemployed; however americans still complain that all the jobs are being taken by immigrants. Aliens on average have only 8.1% of the jobs in america, and the rest is held by mostly americans and some other racial and ethnic groups. Obama care gives affordable to free healthcare to 15 % of americans and out of those 45 million americans and out of those 45 million only 31.9 % have the health care for free and the rest are whites as well as other racial and ethnic groups.
In Conclusion, the only things Americans are doing is to have a scapegoat for their economic problems and are looking for a certain group and pointing the finger at them, therefore this group is effaced and people make fun of them and tell them they are ruining the country, when in actuality they are the problem because they don’t like

    The conservative view upon illegal immigration is as follows: “Support legal immigration only. Oppose amnesty for those who enter the U.S. illegally (illegal immigrants). Those who break the law by entering the U.S. illegally do not have the same rights as those who obey the law and enter legally.

  • Essay On Should Illegal Immigrants Be Deported

    787 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the society that we live in, it is very easy for an American citizen to say that illegal immigrants should automatically be deported. I am not in any way claiming that every American is supporting the idea that it is right to deport any and every illegal immigrant. If people were to put themselves in the position of the woman with three young kids, a sick husband, and a low paying job I am almost certain they would change their perspective on whether or not every immigrant should be deported. With everything that has happened with the presidential election and all the big talk on deportation of illegal immigrants take a second to truly understand what is happening around you. I am not here to tell you that you are wrong for believing in the fact that illegal immigrants should be deported.

Therefore, political participation in the American government, a democracy, is the best way to be the change you want to see in your community and in your country. One small yet important and effective way to do this is by contacting your government and voicing your opinions, and when I wanted to raise the issue of immigration reform for the DACA recipients, I researched the issue, wrote a letter, and sent it.

  • Why Americans Won T Do Dirty Jobs Analysis

    616 Words  | 3 Pages

    America is at an impasse with itself over the current unemployment rate and questions about where all the jobs are going. According to Elizabeth Dwoskin, most of these job positions, considered dirty, are being filled by immigrants and not Americans. Americans have found themselves in an uproar about migrant workers taking jobs away from them, but it seems they are hypocritical as they refuse to fill these jobs themselves. In her article “Why Americans Won 't Do Dirty Jobs,” Dwoskin implies that Americans are too lazy to do hard work but complain when immigrants fill these positions. It seems that even when Americans are faced with the threat of homelessness they claim they cannot find any jobs, or rather, they refuse to do the dirty ones.

  • Undocumented Immigration Essay

    Undocumented immigrants live with fear of deportation every day of their lives. Those with control of state institutions who do not consider undocumented immigrants as worthy American residents in our society, take advantage of their power by instilling fear of deportation. The restrictive federal and state laws towards migration in the U.S. has become a way to keep undocumented immigrants and their families living in the shadows. Arrocha (2013) claims that the paradox of the U.S. migration seems be that our free democratic republicanism is viewed as the land of freedom, equality, and justice. Yet, these undocumented immigrants aren’t treated equally or given the freedom to live in our society without intimidation.
