The Controversial Issue Of Illegal Immigration

Immigrants face a great deal of hardship on coming to America. Many of these immigrants were on uneducated and fell into the trap of Robber Barons. During the Great Migration (1880-1921) about 56% of the immigrants migrated to the United States not knowing what to expect. Therefore, when coming to America many of the defenseless immigrants had to pay a price. “The shipping industry guarantee good profit, but they had to send their children which caused their family to be separated, this was because these immigrants did not have enough money to have them and their children going together” ( Morgan Prezi). One of the many Robber Barons such as John G. Rockefeller had voyage which was a new way for the shipping industries to make more money. These

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

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.

This paper is a rhetorical analysis on immigration and how it is impacting the GDP of the country. Immigration has always been an issue in the United States for many years and today it is still a major hot topic everywhere you pass. The entire world is discussing the immigration situation in the US presently because of the number of people it is impacting. The President of the US has placed executive orders to ban people from certain countries and many are outraged and disgusted. Information on immigration can be seen in all directions and places such as on social media, newspapers, discussion groups, radios and televisions. Immigration has changes so much over the years even kids have a say on the issue. I am very interested in this topic

One significant reason that undocumented immigrants should acquire a “path to citizenship” is that America is a country of immigrants, founded by immigrants. According to Senator Charles E. Schumer in Upfront Magazine, 2016 “I can see the statue of Liberty, which welcomed my ancestors so many years ago. That statue is a symbol of hope to the world. For it to remain so, we must keep fighting to pass immigration reform, including a solution for undocumented immigrants who are already here.” What Senator Schumer is saying is that America’s ancestors are immigrants, so why can’t we welcome the ones already here? It simply doesn’t make sense to not be open to legalize undocumented immigrants

Green’s (2016) findings were quite astonishing. Most criminal activities were found to not be committed by immigrant populations, and undocumented immigrants had committed criminal activities at an even lesser rate. In fact, Green (2016) noted that there had been no statistically significant relationship between immigration populations, violent crime, or drug-related crime. Poverty, here, however, did appear to have a strong relationship with violent crime compared to drug crime offenses. There was a weak positive relationship with undocumented immigrants and drug arrest rates, including sales and possession. Green (2016) mentions that although there is a slight positive relationship between drug crimes and undocumented immigrants, he believes

Immigration in Texas has affected the political subculture of the state in the south. The new immigrants adapt to the old political subculture and because they are not legal residents of the state they cannot participate in political culture that can change the way they live specially in the southern parts of Texas like Hidalgo county, Texas where they have highest poverty rate in the nation with forty percent of the residents enroll in the food stamp program.

The fear for lots of undocumented immigrants has arrived because this past election, people just started living in a great fear because they think that they could get deported. Some people have said that their lives have changed a lot, they feel unsure when they go work, when they’re walking in the streets… But this may or not could happen, because is not going to be the President 's decision only! The actual President Obama has told Americans that deporting millions is “not who we are” and cited Scripture, saying, “We shall not oppress a stranger for we know the heart of a stranger — we were strangers once, too.”

Lady Liberty symbolizes freedom and hope to immigrants who come to the United States. She is the Golden Door to freedom. Her torch symbolizes safety. The message at her feet read “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore” (Redstone, n.d.). When immigration first began, the United States offered the golden door to immigrants wanting to relocate here by offering them freedom, safety, and the hope of beginning a new life to support their families (Greenstone & Looney, n.d.).

Scotty: Dude look at all those Mexicans crossing the border illegally and stealing our jobs! It makes me really mad!! Why can’t they just stay in their own country?

In this research paper our main focus is Mexican Immigrants. We will discuss the rate of Mexican Immigrants coming to the United States. We will also talk about the population density in the U.S. We will cover the lifestyle in Mexico and the possible reasons as to why they may have migrated here. Our main focus about Mexican Immigrants is to find out the difference in rate from 2005-2015.

Robert W. Merry, a political editor of The American Conservative, wrote the article “A Profound Question Behind the Immigration Debate” as well as other articles relating American History like James Polk and the Mexican War. The author claims that the immigration debate is the main reason why America is changing how it functions in the world. He provides arguments from both sides of the debate: those against and those for the immigration policies. Also, he says “definition of America” to support his claim of how immigration is changing America. The author’s intended audience is the people in America because he targets both views on the issue. He says, “Opponent view the action…” and “Defenders of the Trump action..” to make the people see the

On june 15, 2015 Jeb Bush announced that he would be running for president at Dade college in Miami Florida. Jeb Bush a former two-term governor of the state of Florida, as well as son and brother of former presidents. From Bush’s remarks he claims that the government “...offered a progressive agenda that includes everything but progress.” he states that we have gotten into more debt, we have increased the taxes of the middle class, and that there is drawdowns in military. He states that when he released this he noticed that we need change, the question that came to his mind was “what am I going to do about it” and he decided shortly after that he was going to run for president of the United States.

Banning immigration is not the answer, and unfortunately there have been so many misconceptions about immigration that even people who are in the country legally are affected by the stereo types. Unless we are planning to give the country back to its rightful owners, we are all guest in this country. You mentioned that immigrants are willing to do menial jobs that Americans are not willing to do, and yes the jobs may not be prestigious however, those jobs provide essential necessities that we all want and need. My job right now requires me to assist people in finding jobs, it has always amazed me how many of the legal immigrants I help are willing to take two and three jobs doing anything, and people who are born here and have the ability

Not every immigrant get into the country using the legal means. There are those who get into the country on student visas and start working contrary to the visas they hold. There are others who get into the country illegally with no genuine United States visa. The immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 focusses on the matter of illegal immigration through placing major fines on the employers of those immigrants who hire them. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 allowed a number of barriers to immigration. The host family is only able accept an immigrant if it is accorded an income of about 125% of the poverty status. This Act additionally calls for the Immigration and Naturalization Service to ensure
