There is a controversial issue in regards to immigration. Some believe that immigration needs to be held at a controlled limit, and there needs to be stricter laws placed. Others believe that immigration has made America what is it today, and one should not be stopped for wanting to pursue a better life. Immigrants are a benefit to the United States because they provide cultural diversity, and major positive impacts to the economy on a whole.

Some Americans believe that refugees should be accepted with open arms, and that it is the practical thing to do. Others, believe that by accepting refugees into America, it puts us at great risk for terrorist activities. On 1980, the Refugee act as implemented. A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country of origin due to fleeing from war, persecution, or any other types of violence taking place. Some of these might be due to the confrontations of political parties, race, or religion. This law was put into place as an agreement to provide residential services and admissions into the United States for those fleeing from their countries. Refugees were granted many provisions upon entering the United States such as Cash Assistance, Trainings to learn the English Language, Employment, etc. Some of the refugee groups who were part of this act during the 1980’s were middle eastern, and Vietnamese, and

(Place quote about how many). There are many reasons why people choose to migrate. Some choose to migrate due to wanting a chance for a better life; some flee their countries due to wars, refugees. Some people believe that fleeing their countries for whatever reason to come to America for more opportunities. Yes this is true, but in some instances, the grass is not always greener on the other side. In this day and age, money is what makes the world go round. Most immigrants face a lot of economic hardship. Valid employment is not always an option
Immigration has been a burning issue lately, particularly after Donald Trump’s immigration ban in the United States of America. It has been a topic that families discuss every morning with breakfast. Despite many concerns related to immigration, it has several positive benefits that mostly outweighs the negativity. People bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration. Many immigrants in the United States are good workers who don't depend upon any public welfare and mostly help in the overall development of the economy. As a country made by immigrants, we must not forget the fact that immigrants have helped to build cities and create a path of development form Google to iPhones (Gray & Furman, 2012). These facts are secluded, and some related arguments with different content have been repeated for years and continue. Immigrants have a lot to give the United States rather than to take, especially when it comes to economic terms.
Michael was being disruptive in class and had to be removed by Ms. Cruz, School Counselor. He was making inappropriate noises, putting his feet on his desk and kneeling on his chair. When corrected he became argumentative and defiant toward Ms. Frazier. As Ms. Cruz was escorting him out of the classroom he pointed two fingers toward Ms. Frazier’s face and mocked what she was saying.
As a nation founded and built by immigrants, regardless of the treatment the different immigrant groups have received from the U.S., the very notion of immigration is an essential componant in understanding our nation’s identity. I believe it’s important to recognize and know one’s personal culture and background in their family line. If we are called to remember that somewhere down our family’s history there are immigrants who decided to migrate then I believe that can have a humbling effect, and, as a result, decrease the likelihood of xenophobic behavior to spread across our political system and the social and economic discourse that surrounds immigration. Thus, preserving one’s own culture is important, because it allows us to realize that
The walls are caving inside one’s hiding place and all one hears is the screams of their cherished friends being brutally assaulted by law enforcement that is suppose to be our protectors, who turn out to be the devil hidden in the flesh. One could nothing, but continue to hear the screaming and pray that the terror does not find him or her. One continues to cower under fear and wait for the sun to rise again to live under fear for another day. Each day goes by with one always looking behind his or her shoulders wondering if they, immigration, are coming for them and are the people, he or she trusts, will sell them out.The thoughts of abandonment, fear, and betrayal are constantly running through the families that do not have a piece of paper,
Even though the reform should be passed there are also some things that immigrants should do to show that they are willing to do whatever it takes to be accepted in this country. The main thing they should work on is to learn the primary language of the U.S, which is English. Immigrants need to prove once again of what they are capable of. Even if immigrants are in a really good percentage of speaking English they still have to work harder. According to Julia Beckhusen one of the journalists in charge to collect information for the U.S Census Bureau,“The majority of the Mexican immigrants (close to two-thirds) do not speak English well.” This seems to be a big problem among the immigrants. Why is it good to learn the language? “English-speaking
On December 11nth 2017, New York’s Time Square had a would-be terrorist attack when 27 year old Akayed Ullah didn’t properly detonate the homemade pipe bomb. The attempted bombing happened during the town most dreaded time, the rush hour in Times Square. The bomb did not kill anyone but he had injured himself and thankfully no other person was injured, just a few people had headaches and ringing ears. The attack was a retaliation act for the US Military aggressiveness to the Islamic state. He said it was inspired by ISIS, but he had no actual contact with anyone from the group. He made the pipe bomb by a metal pipe and explosive powder; he ignited the bomb with a Christmas light, matches, and a nine-volt battery. Thankfully the bomb didn’t do what he had wanted it to but it’s still an attempted act of terrorism.
Immigration continues to be a major problem in the United States on whether to include or banish “these illegal aliens” from America. With the current notion on Obama’s executive order many continue to claim that it is “administrative amnesty” in disguise or an “executive fiat”. However, while everyone is free to speak and criticize the new order, President Obama has the constitutional right to prevent deportation of the unauthorized immigrants. He is able to execute this immigration policy not only because he is the Chief Executive.
“President Obama has directed the United States government to accept at least ten thousand refugees from Syria in the next fiscal year.”(Eilperin,Juliet, and Carol Morello) A fiscal year is a year as reckoned for taxing, or accounting purposes. Just hearing this has different effects on many people. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion because some may say immigrants, are dangerous when there is six% chance of any immigrant becoming a terrorist, or committing a crime. So people can’t just judge someone because they appear different to you. “The United States is a nation of immigrants” A quote from former president Theodore Roosevelt is stating that America is a nation of immigrants and that is true. All though some
I believe that immigrants should be let into the USA and there should be no restriction on allowing who comes in and out. However, I do believe in the safety of any citizen or person living in the United States. Because of this, I think that each immigrant should be scanned. Previously said during the discussion, immigrants really boost our economy and keep our culture young and new. “Successive waves of immigrants have kept our country demographically young, enriched our culture and added to our productive capacity as a nation, enhancing our influence in the world.” (Griswold, CATO institute) Immigrants bring new ideas and fresh minds to a hard topic. A current misconception is that immigrants take away jobs from Americans. However, the CATO
The Article Immigration Policy: Should the U.S. government take stricter measures to limit illegal immigration (February 9, 2017), focuses on whether the U.S. should adopt stricter measures for illegal immigration. Supporters believe that illegal immigrants pose a threat to national security. Undocumented immigrants are not in the system, so their criminal records are inaccessible. Additionally, supporters believe that immigrants take the jobs of Americans. Companies tend to give immigrants jobs because they will work for cheap wages. However, the opponents of the law believe stricter measures for illegal immigrants shouldn’t be done because most of the country's technological breakthroughs are due to immigrants. Opponents believe that immigrants help the economy because they take the jobs that not many workers take, such as farming or physical work. Immigration policy argument will continue until there is common ground established between everyone whether to there should be stricter measures or another way for them to become documented.
Immigration to begin with can be defined as a person traveling from one country to another for various reasons. There are two main reasons however which create two distinct types of immigrants. Those immigrating for economical reasons and those immigrating because of danger to their lives. Although the spectrum for these two types of immigrants is very distinct, they are both of high importance and it is crucial to understand both of their struggles. Doing so will allow for a better understanding of what an immigration policy should and shouldn't
Immigration is currently a hot topic within in the United States government. Currently the United States Congress is fighting to decide the fate of the Dreamers, and the Immigration bill DACA. Like many controversial issues within the government, the Democrats and Republicans are in a disagreement on what to do. Each article, examines a different take on the current immigration reform. Bier’s main argument is that individuals who are contributing to immigration reform are ignorant, that Immigrants are not hurting the American Labor market. The next article, I examined, was written by Eric Cantor; Cantor states that although the parties each have a high stake on the decision Congress makes on DACA, there must be a decision otherwise, the law will remain status quo. Next, we look at Gessen’s article, the main argument is that immigrants should not be looked at valuable or illegal, they should not have to be talented in order to be welcome within the United States. Lastly, Vargas, an undocumented Immigrant, discusses the difficulties of being illegal within the United States, yet still shines light on the positive influences he had throughout his childhood and time in America.

Immigration is the movement through which an individual permanently moves from their place of residence from one country to another. Immigration is a topic which divides political parties and general debate. Whilst some people see the positives of immigration, such as the filling of skill gaps in low and highly skilled jobs, others see the negatives of immigration, such as the strain on services such as the NHS, schools and housing.
