Immigration Argument Analysis

858 Words4 Pages

Regarding to the video, I believe that all three speakers have made good points from their perspective of open boarders for immigration. In the results of the debate it would seem that two of the speakers are sided on pro open boarders for immigration. Hence, the third speaker is against the idea of open boarder for immigration. The third speaker that was oppose to the idea of open boarder for immigration, have even stated out before his speech that this debate was two against one. Hence, the debate really bought out some interesting ideas, opinions and points of each speaker’s overview on the immigration policy and open boarder. The debate have three well-known guest speakers: Bryan Caplan, Mark Krikorian, and Alex Nowrasteh. Bryan and Alex …show more content…

Mark points out 3 reasons why he believes that American should not open its borders to immigration. Marks states the first reason to be patriotic solidarity, which is good that people in their own communities stand together and share a loyalty. His second reason that immigrants are human beings, too. Immigrants are not just another pair of hands to all to the labor input, immigrants comes with all the virtues and vices with them. Mark’s third reason is that because immigrants are people, the high levels of immigration would increase political support and a bigger …show more content…

But, Bryan Caplan does make more sense about the open broader for immigration in America. There is an important aspect towards immigration, we shouldn’t keep immigrants out of America, because of the job competition. Bryan’s points of argument on human rights and nature should be consider, immigrants are people and not just a pair of hands to add towards the labor contribution. While, I do see a point in Mark’s argument against opening the boarders, because it will cause some sort of chaos with all the millions of immigrants that would love to come pouring into America for a better life. Granted, Mark does prove some vital points in opening the boarders for immigrations, he does not take into consideration that immigration does benefit American in a lot of ways. And, as human beings, immigrants deserved to have rights and equal opportunity like the rest of us. Immigrants adds more to the greatness of diversity in

  • Immigrant Immigration Reform Summary

    483 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his opinionated news article, “Ignorant Immigration Reform”, author David J. Bier asserts his opinion on a bill that will reduce the legal immigration by 50% in the United States. Bier supports his position by discussing how the bill won’t reduce immigration, stop the way immigrants are affecting the Americans wages and how they’re following Canada’s footsteps by concentrating on the skilled immigrants. Bier’s purpose is to notify the government of basic facts that they should know before making such claims, in order to bring into light what the real issue is. He writes in a very direct and sincere tone for the government and general public to inform them on false information that the government is claiming that the bill will do. Bier makes it very clear on where he stands on this issue by using credible facts, briefly explaining the opposing side's viewpoint, but he also shows that he’s very bias.

  • Pro-Immigration Argument Analysis

    585 Words  | 3 Pages

    With a topic as polarizing as the United States’ policies on immigration and open borders, a writer would need to make consistently strong and accurate points in order to convince people to side with them in the situation. This is especially true in the case of an argument that is pro-immigration as many people consider pro-immigration arguers to be biased liberals, much like how many consider anti-immigration arguers to be biased conservatives. With this being said, Eliane does a decent job of making a logical plan for the United States to follow and refuting her original point, she should have made a more effective and less frequent usage of quoting, as well as avoiding the ad hominem fallacy usage. Eliane’s most effective paragraph, argumentatively,

  • Why Do Americans And Immigrants Conflict With Each Other

    312 Words  | 2 Pages

    If Americans and immigrants saw each other's sides then there wouldn't be such a big conflict between the two groups. Both sides provoke each other to prove that the other is wrong and they are right, but it ends up being a problem for both sides. If there could be an agreement between both groups and know where the limits are with both groups then there would be less of a problem. Obviously by making an agreement does not mean that they won’t have problems with each other, but it would minimize the casualties. Both sides are a major part of the country so they should recognize the importance of each other.

  • Should Immigrants Be Allowed To Stay In The United States?

    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.

  • John Rawls Argument For Open Borders

    469 Words  | 2 Pages

    The author’s first major argument is crucial to Carens’ belief of immigration because it suggests open-borders will allow people to control their faith by not becoming victims of their nation’s socioeconomic problems (page 259). Mill would agree with Carens’ belief that immigration does allow people to control their faith. As a result, Mill believes foreigners are doing what is deemed a necessity, so they may gain better livelihoods. The author is in support of this regardless if immigrants crossing the border do so illegally (because they are committing a wrongful act for the greater good of their lives). The greater good of their lives is easily defined as the pursuit of liberty, happiness, and property (page 86).

  • Child Immigration Argumentative Analysis

    1155 Words  | 5 Pages

    Another argument of anti-immigration groups is that the U.S. population is growing out of control due to immigration. According to the Census Bureau, the United States is growing at less than 1% a year, and this growth is fueled by newborn babies, not immigrants (Balkin 98). Population control is a poor argument for opposing immigration. Regardless of the modest amount of new immigrants as a whole, the number of immigrant children in the child welfare system has more than doubled in the past fifteen years. According to a 2014 Citizenship and Immigration Ombudsman’s report, oftentimes child immigration cases are judged without consideration of their parents, and children are treated as functional adults who must find their own legal representation and participate in interviews that use questionable interrogation tactics (Padilla-Rodriguez).

  • Immigration Policy Proposal Essay

    1623 Words  | 7 Pages

    In times such as now, immigration policy is a topic of controversial and emotional discussion. The key in having educational, progressive, and prosperous conversations is understanding the theoretical foundations behind the argument that a person stands for or believes in. Having factual evidence to support ideas on concepts such as: the opportunities that immigrants bring to a country, what the international rules actually are that govern the entry and  exit of people from one country to another, and the causes, trends, and consequences of international immigration. Finding reason and support for these claims can take the discussion behind immigration policy from one of heated and emotional argument to one of educational and beneficial conversation.

  • Essay On Immigrant Contribution

    616 Words  | 3 Pages

    “The Immigrant contribution” and “The Quilt of a Country” are two essays that share a similar focus, however, they cover two drastically different sides of the topic. Both of them share the main idea that America is a country made up almost entirely of immigrants. Kennedy’s essay, “The immigrant Contribution”, focuses on how immigrants have affected our country, whereas Quindlen’s essay discusses how people of many different cultures coexist and work together. The essays both concentrate on immigration in America and how immigration has shaped and molded our culture. The two authors describe the many different aspects of immigration in immensely different ways.

    526 Words  | 3 Pages

    Despite the multiple attempts at creating a well-rounded immigration reform the United States has failed to achieve the full capacity of the reform. The United States first failure at the reform was in 1986 when congress passed the “Immigration Reform and Control Act”. The purpose of this legislation was to amend, revise, and re-assess the status of unauthorized immigrants set forth in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The content of this bill is overwhelming and is divided into many sections such as control of unauthorized immigration, legalization and reform of legal immigration.

  • 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. The downside is that the policymakers disagreement is the weak labor since the spread immigrants flow has made a dramatic change seeing that the H-B has issued down by twenty- five percent in 2010. The last reasoning is American people want to have a debate on if immigration is stealing American jobs, but according to evidence immigrants actually increases job opportunity and incomes of Americans. This is wise because even George G. Borjas’s long-run estimates suggest that immigrants raise the wages of people with high school diplomas.”-
