114 Words1 Page

In order to understand how immigration policies, special visas and entry requirements attract immigrants entrepreneurs into the United States. As well as understanding immigrant entrepreneurs in terms of what type of contributions to the economy they make, differences across ethnic groups and entrepreneurial success. Immigrant entrepreneurs are not a uniform group and hence their experiences and contributions vary widely across ethnic and source country groups. I was to learn more on how self-employment is associated with some upward economic mobility for disadvantaged immigrant workers, and also seeing the groups that are characterized by relatively low skill levels that may not experience the same degree of success as those with higher levels

  • 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,

If the definition of immigrant is broadened to include any citizen unable to trace their lineage back to the communities that lived in the country prior to the arrival of European settlers

    Immigration in the United States has ignited debate for as long as it has existed. The RAISE Act is the product of a history that put a greater value on highly skilled immigrants who benefit American economy than traditional American ideals of acceptance and hospitality. Whether prioritizing economic gain or cultural development, the RAISE Act demonstrates how opposing sides develop arguments founded solely on what they deem deserving of primacy. The United States boasts of being a tolerant magnet for immigration; however, immigration in the United States has a history of being controlled by those in power to limit and prioritize who has the right of becoming a citizen.

    Immigrant Rights I Ramiro Pineda Jr. am here to speak for all immigrants, about Immigrant Rights, and the equality of all races. I believe The United States of America should accept any immigrants because, they only come to the U.S. For a better life. They should be forced to go through the process of becoming citizens and learn English. If they so happen to not want to be here anymore due to the process they have to do, they can decide to go back. Also U.S. Should be proud to accept these people they come here for a better life, education, and good occupations.
