Over the years America has been looked at as the promise land and the safe place to people all over the world who are looking to have a better life. In the U.S there`s approximately 326,075,490, people in counting. Of this population 13.5 %(42,389,813.7) are immigrants. So it's safe to say that immigrants helps make America, who we are. But not only do immigrants make up America population but also helps with small business, technologies and science. Most people think immigrates are Hispanic and are from Mexico but that’s not the case at all. Immigrants don’t just cut grass, but they have a big effect on our economy every day. Immigrants do more then cut grass or build houses. When some immigrates come to America their coming to do jobs no

Immigration is a very sore subject in this country. People’s beliefs tend to be extreme, either you believe that we should have open borders or believe that we should build a wall around the country. Having immigrants is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Having immigrants in this country makes it more rich in multicultural experiences as well as gives immigrants a safe place to live. Some immigrants may be terrorists which could put our country in danger.
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.
Immigration reform can go either way to helping immigrants and asylum seekers or placing further restrictions on their lives by even more punitive laws. The United States has faced a long issue on whether or not should they reform the current laws put in place in order for “Aliens” to be able to live here and become a citizen and get the American dream so many people have come to achieve. Immigration laws should be reformed because America was founded on immigrants, they help make the community, and they contribute to the community. For several years now, Congress has been focusing on a new type of bill or act that will be set in place for current asylum seekers. The most current reform act is the Real ID Act of 2005.
The requirements of becoming a citizen in the United States have changed drastically over the last few centuries. Becoming a US citizen is a lengthy, stressful and expensive process. Parts of the process are based luck, while other parts are based on tests and interviews. Through history, the process of becoming a citizen has gotten harder and harder. Edwidge Danticat’s short story “Caroline’s Wedding”, the processing center at Ellis Island and the historical change of immigration laws show and compare the struggle of becoming a citizen in the United States.
The world we live in now is filled with all sorts of different ethnic and diverse individuals. “What makes someone American isn’t just blood or birth but allegiance to our founding principles and faith in the idea that anyone - from anywhere - can write the next chapter in our story.” - Former President Barack Obama. The level of improvement that we have faced as individuals is remarkable. One may say that immigrants have enriched and strengthened the lives of the American people.
Until this day, people still have a misconception about immigrants and don’t realize how immigration can benefit the economy. Native-born americans argue that immigrants don’t contribute deeply to the United States as a nation. Therefore, this paper is going to analyze two articles written by Camarota and Bush to determine what they say about the impact that immigration has on the economy. Some of the arguments that Bush stated is the effects of immigrants in the U.S. labor force and the income for natives. The author Steven Camarota argued that immigrants and natives compete within one another to get a job.
They only focus on what they believe to be the “Bad” side of the immigrants. Another thing that many Americans don’t put much focus on is that the immigrants have helped the economy in so many ways that they don’t realize. Immigration has changed drastically over the past decades even a century ago. In 1790 the Naturalization Act was established. This Act “Excluded non-white people from eligibility to naturalize.
There is so much going on in the world today I had a hard time picking a subject because so many have impact on one another. I started out with religious diversity and got into religion being a reflection on race or ethnic. Then I thought about doing racial diversity, but then it tied into nationality diversity. Nationality diversity seems to sum up racial and religious diversity into the main cause of the other diversities. I have noticed ever since 9/11 nationality diversity against Islamic people in America and in general has been on the rise, but with everyone so worried about racism and being politically correct, it has been a slightly taboo subject.
Immigrants are needed to help the U.S. and to help their people. The article states that “Immigration is of special significance to Hispanics about half of whom are immigrants themselves, according to the pool” (Jones 5). To elaborate, half of the immigrants in America now are Hispanics which shows that a lot of Hispanics rely on immigration to build a better life/family. Opponents will argue that immigrants will come and sell drugs, commit crimes, or ruin the economy. Instead, lots of immigrants come to work.
Immigrants are a really big part of United States economy it either go up or down. Illegal immigrants commit a bunch of crimes just for a better future for their children. Illegal immigrants benefit the country because they do the work that nobody else want to do if there were not immigrants the dirty job maybe would not be completed. Illegal immigrants may not pay taxes but like they do not have insurance either so what happens is that if they get hurt they have to pay even more than someone that do have insurance, all the money that the hospital charging them (Is Illegal Immigration an Economic Burden to America?). Illegal immigrants are good for the country because illegal immigrants pay their own thing since they do not want to get caught.
Immigration has always been a major part of American history. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to the United States in search of a better life. Of the 1.49 million immigrants who traveled to the United States in 2016, 150,400 immigrants were from Mexico. There have also been many people from Mexico who have immigrated illegally to America, with 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016. The large scale of immigration, both legal and illegal, has brought up issues such as national security and the U.S. economy.
Immigrants are a good thing for America and should be granted citizenship unless they are causing trouble. Some housekeeping jobs and yard work is done by immigrants, both documented and undocumented. Immigrants are useful in the Labor Market. Between 7-8 million of the illegal immigrants
The United States of America, being a country founded by immigrants, is known all over the world as the land of great opportunities. People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family. Over the years, the population of immigrants has grown immensely, resulting in the currently controversial issue of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are the people who have overstayed the time granted on their US, visa or those who have broken the federal law by crossing the border illegally. Matt O’Brien stated in his article “The government thinks that 10.8 million illegal immigrants lived in the country in January 2009, down from a peak of nearly 12 million in 2007.”(Para, 2) While some argue that illegal immigrants burden the United States of America and its economy, others believe that they have become essential and are an important part of the US, economy.
