Should Immigrants Be Allowed To Be Immigrants

Immigration is defines as the action of leaving one's home country to start a new life in another country. Immigration has been a recent topic for politicians and the new president elect of the Donald trump. Undocumented immigrants serve as a problem to our nation's economy and well being both socially and economically.

Immigrants should be allowed to work in America and should be treated with full respect and decency. Immigrants deserve recognition for everything they have done for our county. The Immigrants dedication to improving in everything they do needs to flourish in America. They start more businesses that add opportunities in our country. Their devotion towards our military is priceless. We need the immigrants to improve our country. Immigrants are frequently more diligent, increase the amount of businesses available, and have added a significant number of people to the military in America.

Prior to 1965, immigration was set up on a quota system and allowed 2% of nationalities that America favored, which was Western Europe. Some countries were not allowed to immigrate to the U.S., such as China and the Philippines. From 1924-1965 approximately 6 million people legally immigrated to the United States. By 1960 some countries were claiming that the U.S. immigration policy was discriminating against them. With the civil rights movement happening, President John F. Kennedy and the Democratic Party moved to change the immigration policy.

Hundreds or thousands immigrates legal or illegal come to the United States for jobs. Some immigrates come because they need money for their family and other's come because they want to danger us.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, from around the world come into the United States. These immigrants come to America for better life, some immigrants are refugees, escaping persecution and civil wars in their home country. Many immigrants believe that United States is the best place to go. I think allowing Immigrates to United States can benefit America because allowing Immigrates to come to America would have an increase on Economy and illegal immigrants already pay taxes and America is the country of immigrants.

America has come such a long way to be known as the Melting Pot. The reason behind this is that America is extremely diverse and has many different people. Many of immigrants, both legal and illegal, from around the world, are migrating to here, in California. For some, this is an advantage. Economically, this means there are more consumers- more people to take advantage of the opportunities and resources that this state has to offer. On the other hand, this increase in population has put this state in debt. The educational system is suffering from a lack of programs. These immigrants come because they want a chance at a better life. Many other immigrants are refugees, escaping persecution and civil wars in their home country. Coming here to

America a place where people could feel safe and now that we are the most powerful nation we are able to feel safe. The only way to keep our safeness is to elect very strong Presidents. Some of the strong presidents might not be able to run because of the “natural born law”. This law does not allow immigrants who are now American citizens to run for president. Even though Immigrants have all of the other requirements to become president they are not allowed to run. Immigrants should be allowed to run for president because, the law was originally put in to protect the country from Dukes, this country was built off immigrants, and the founding fathers wanted this country to be equal and this statement of “natural born” is not equal.

Immigration has shaped the United States as a nation since the first newcomers arrived over 400 years ago. America has been known to be a nation of immigrants. Most immigrants viewed America as the "Land of Opportunity." Back in the mid-19th century to the early 20th century immigrants mostly from eastern and westerns Europe were leaving their home to find work in order to allow them to live a better life and to practice their religion freely. Many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic opportunity. America technically kept its promise but the quality of the job that came with it was terrible. They had jobs but the conditions were horrible

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. In recent discussions of whether immigrants should be deported, there has been sides where immigration would be good for our country and others disagree. Some believe that immigrants should be allowed to stay in our country, because they believe our economy wouldn’t be good without them and many businesses rely on immigrants working for them. On the other hand, the other side believe that immigrants are overpopulating the U.S and don’t have the money to support all of these immigrants (education/jobs.) Immigrants should be allowed to remain in the country because many families would be separated, they are already accustomed to the American society, and they contribute to the economy.

While it is true that children born to illegal immigrants do increase taxes by an estimated $14,378 per household, this should be viewed as more of an investment for the future (Santana). These children will grow up as citizens of the United States and one day become workers and taxpayers themselves. Despite this, children of illegal immigrants and their parents are 27% less likely to be signed up for Medicaid and 37% less likely to receive food stamps than their native-born counterparts (Santana). Furthermore, getting rid of birthright citizenship could also increase taxes. According to The Center for American Progress, a citizenship tax may be made: “…We estimate that eliminating birthright citizenship has the potential to add a birth tax of $600 per child, to say nothing of the long periods in which children would be stuck in legal limbo, further increasing the burden on new parents” (Fulwood). Following this, these children’s illegal immigrant parents pay taxes themselves, contrary to popular belief. What’s more is that these illegal immigrants also pay into social security; even though they cannot receive its benefits. This is critical, as they pay for the social security of many baby boomers who are now retiring (Santana). In short, while taxpayers do pay for children of

How would you feel, how would you feel to be an illegal immigrant? Escaping your own country to avoid the hands of harm or poverty? What would go through your mind everyday? This is what an illegal immigrant has to think about everyday, in fact, there are about 11 million illegal immigrants in America. Our immigration laws makes it hard for these illegal immigrants. Now, there can be multiple negative factors or problems that could be very destructive to these poor immigrants. Therefore, I think that illegal immigrants should have a pathway to citizenship, they could be useful citizens that have bright ideas and boost our economy. Also if we don’t give those immigrants a chance to obtain citizenship, America can manage to rip apart families

Do you think that illegal immigrants should have a path to citizenship? I think that they should. They don 't harm the U.S they actually improve it. Nearly 14 million immigrants entered the United States from 2000 to 2010, and over one million persons were naturalized as U.S. citizens in 2008. There were 11.5 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States as of 2011. They come and have american families, they improve the economy, and this country is a country of immigrants so why not let them stay here.

Immigration occurs quite frequently in the United States. The US is one of the world’s biggest immigration centers, and this causes some serious problems. Immigration is always a hot topic, especially during elections. People are always talking about it, but can never seem to agree. One person might believe that immigration laws need to be radically changed, while other believe the policies are fine. These laws must be changed however. The process must become easier so that those who truly want independence and a new life can achieve these desires, instead of being turned down.

At the age of 16 my father, A native born teenager form Mexico crossed the border to provide a better living for himself and for his soon to be family cause after all America is the land of opportunities, right? Starting off with $6 dollars an hour isn’t the ideal “American Dream” but with hard work and dedication he eventually was able to bring my Mother and I to this new land. He faced many obstacles along the way but with the hard work that was put in he was able to prevail everything in his path to be where he is today and now owns his Company. I look at my father; I see all the jobs he has created

Illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the U.S.A. and become citizens because they are heavy workers, want a better life and most importantly they contribute to the U.S. economy. Immigrants simply want to obtain an opportunity to live and work in this great country. With all this in mind it is clear that they deserve a path to citizenship.
