The Pros And Cons Of Foreign Born Immigrants

In the United States, children are under the parents control until the age of 18. These children have to do everything the parents tells them to and do not get a choice in the matter. This is true for immigrant children. These immigrant children did not get to tell their parents if they wanted to go to the U.S. or not, and even if they did the parents have the control. The U.S. should not punish the immigrant child for coming into the country because it was not their choice, it is not right to send them to a country they do not know as home, and everyone deserves an opportunity to become a U.S. citizen. Any right minded person would know that society cannot punish children on the decisions of their parents. The police does not arrest the children of a shoplifter for breaking the law, nor does the police arrest the children of a murder for the murder. So why does our country want to deport the children whose parents broke the law coming into this country? Cory Gardner’s favorable opinion on the subject came from Opposing Viewpoints stating, “Their parents made a decision to enter this country illegally and our broken immigration system did not prevent it. It is not their fault, nor was it their decision not to follow the law.” Not only did Cory state that it is not the immigrant children’s fault, but he also brought up that it is the U.S’s fault for allowing the parents to come into the country illegally. How is it okay that the U.S. punishes the immigrant children for their

In the discussion of immigrants living in America, one controversial issue has been whether immigrants living in America have equal opportunities as American citizen do. On the one hand, some people believe that the federal government should be of more assistance to these newcomers by improving there aid programs such as Social Security and Medical. On the other hand, some say that immigrants should not have the same opportunities as others do because they come from another country and they were not born in America. Both undocumented immigrants and those with documents struggle when they come to the United States; because they have low education levels, (health concern) hardly get help from any federal programs, are affected by the fact they

Immigrants leave their country for America because it is supposed to be a better place. A

Immigrants are bad for the U.S because they are taking the scarce amount of jobs that citizens are fighting for.First off, according to Howard W. Foster a lawyer whose main cases are involving the employment of illegal immigrants, over 450,000 legal immigrants come to the U.S every year, and over 700,000 illegal immigrants come to the U.S every year and are fighting with citizens to get their jobs. Since there are not that much jobs out there, with over one million immigrants they should not be priority over citizens who deserve these jobs.Another piece of evidence from Howard Foster shows that immigrants are bad for the U.S because most of the immigrants coming over are uneducated and have no experience with any technical jobs, so they have

Immigrants contribute to the US economy more than they take form it. There is an estimated 45.3 million legal immigrant in the United States. Immigrants accounted for 47% of the workforce in the United States over the past ten years.

Twenty million undocumented immigrants live in the United States today. About one-hundred thousand immigrants cross the border each year, and nearly sixty percent of undocumented immigrants enter the U.S. legally but stay after their visa expires (Wepman 314). To enter the U.S. legally, one must have a secured job in the country. Another way to enter is by having a family member who can prove they can support the person they want to bring into the U.S. Most immigrants do not have a secure job waiting for them, or a family member inside the country. All they have is their family living in poverty, their children not being able to get an education, and their family not having enough to eat or anywhere to sleep. It is extremely expensive and may take up to ten years to go through the legal process.

In the late 1800s, the era of immigration had begun. America’s borders were flooded with various ethnic groups pursuing the “American Dream”, an opportunity to better oneself through hard work and perseverance. Yet for most people, the “American Dream” never came true, because of difficult and dangerous work, few advancement opportunities, and racism. The Slovak families in Out of This Furnace, the Krachas and Dobrejcaks, provide good examples. The first members of these families, Djuro Kracha and Mike Dobrejcak, were first generation Slovak immigrants. These two men and other members of their families, like Kracha’s daughter Mary and Mike’s son Dobie, never achieved the lasting material prosperity that was the American Dream. Much of their

I do not believe that immigrants should be able to come to America. When more people come to the America we have to provide more things to make life sustainable for them. Money is being spent, and more problems can be caused. We need to make sure the people wanting to come over know the rules of America, and that they can follow the rules. They should be required to speak english and can have their own language on the side. Not only taking an updated test of the U.S, but given a week on their own here to see if they can handle it and if it is a suitable living style for them. If they can not handle the week living here then they are not fit to migrate over, therefore they truly can not live in America. This will be their own fault and the

This seems to be one of the most popular topics in both political and day-to-day conversations. Here is the simple answer: yes. In other words, yes, undocumented immigrants should be granted amnesty by the federal government. According to the ITEP, unauthorized immigrants as a whole paid $10.6 billion in local and state taxes, so why not give them the life that they’ve already paid for?

Immigration is necessary in our society because of the benefits it provides, it provides economic growth to the industry, and highly educated immigrants that can also be a key point to our society.

The immigration system as of January 2017 is debilitated, it does not serve in a way that is impacting our socioeconomic conditions in a positive manner. Unskilled immigrants are hurting the American economy in many different ways, such as bringing U.S. dollars out of the country, taking jobs, and advantage of Government assistance.

For almost the entire existence of the U.S., there has been America’s Spanish friend, Mexico. Americans and Mexicans have traveled back and forth from country to country for years without quarrel, even if there were some differences and conflicts in the past. Now, as the world becomes more populated, more people are wanting to come into America. People from China, India, Korea, and America’s good friend, Mexico. Only, this alliance may fall short very soon. In America, its citizens have learned to accept the flow of immigrants into the country; except now President Donald Trump has taken it upon himself to slow the flow of immigration. He has already stopped some countries from coming into the U.S. and made it a primary goal to have a wall.

Similar to Mill, Singer follows a utilitarian way of life, and believes that those who live in affluent counties are obligated to help those in need. For instance, if a child was drowning a few feet away from you, it is your duty to save the child as long as you’re not sacrificing something morally comparable. If saving the child means that you’re sacrificing your shoes or clothes, then you should do it because the death of a child would be morally bad. The same rule applies if the baby was 5,000 miles away because under this premise, proximity, and distance is irrelevant.

The American Dream continues to live due to our country being accepting to immigrants. Immigrants are traveling to America in hopes of having freedom and fulfilling the American Dream. They are bringing new creative ideas to America in hopes of succeeding and having a great life. Immigrants are causing our population to increase, therefore more items are being bought, opening up opportunities for more jobs to create those items. Immigrants are also more likely to start a business thus creating more jobs. Some people may think that even though the law allows immigrants into the country, they are never fully excepted as equal citizens and are not treated as equals. This is wrong because there is a difference between legal immigrants moving into

As an adolescent soon entering the world of adulthood, to think about having the program I built my life around ripped out from under me is terrifying. In his article, “If You Want to MAGA, Save DACA”, Bret Stephens effectively convinces his readers of disadvantages of the immigration reform bill introduced by Congress this year by citing an abundance of influential figures and companies that stemmed from accomplished and uneducated immigrant backgrounds and contributed to America’s greatness. Stephens achieves this by employing appeals to logos, ethos, and pathos to persuade The New York Times’ readers of the greatness gained from welcoming immigrants to our shores.
