U.S. Immigration 101 Before lands were set up into fixed colonies, people were free to roam and sail as they pleased. However, this is not to say that discrimination did not exist, and some were killed when they entered into foreign borders. The same holds true today in the United States of America, not necessarily due to discrimination but due to the immigration laws that were put into practice in 1790, beginning with the Naturalization Act. While it is safe precaution to make sure who enters the country and what their motives are, many are being denied the access to the American dream. It is because of this that the U.S. must take a step back and reevaluate their immigration policies. Also known as the Nationality Act, the Naturalization …show more content…
The law suspended further immigration of Chinese peoples for 10 years, with exclusion of those residing in the United States in 1880. The laws paved the way for the discrimination against the Chinese up until 1904. However, history has began to repeat itself, as racial lines are being drawn against those of Hispanic backgrounds. Due to the high amount of drug trafficking and exploitation/crime being presented across the borders of the United States, many Mexican citizens are being denied the rights of becoming a citizen. After many years of conflict, there is yet to be harmony among the borders. During the 1890s, new industries in the U.S. Southwest, such as agriculture and mining, attracted Mexican migrant laborers. The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) then increased the interest: war refugees and political exiles fled to the United States to escape violence. Furthermore, Mexicans also left their areas in search of stability and employment. Because of this, Mexican migration to the United States rose incredibly. The number of legal migrants rose from around 20,000 migrants per year during the 1910s to about 50,000–100,000 migrants per year during the 1920s

The reaction to the incoming amount of Immigrants into the Unites States of America was a little mixed, while some founded organizations, that were against Immigration, such as the American Protective Association. Other people, such as writers, liberals, and obviously, the rich, were all for the fact of letting Immigrants in, for the sake of the American dream. Take Document A, for example, we will take the poor, or the tired, and the people will let them in and give them the ability to dream. However, which side was more abundant, was the side that was against the Immigrants coming into America.
There can be various polarizing opinions and views regarding the immigration situation in the United States. Arguments from both sides can vary greatly from each point of view. Although some people favor restricted immigration, open immigration is the best way for the United States and shares the values of the American people. Open immigration benefits the economy in various ways. It enables undocumented immigrants to come out from the shadows so they can legally and safely obtain jobs which will benefit the economy. Immigration would help people get jobs legally so they can earn more than if they were undocumented, meaning they would also spend more in the economy which would benefit their economies.

In the United States, the foreign-born population doubled since the 1960s. As year reaches 2012, immigrants made up 13 percent of the total population in the United States.(The Facts on Immigration Today, 1) The population rapidly increase with immigrants and native-born Americans. Do you know anyone who is an immigrant and is struggling because of the unfamiliar surrounding? There are many things an immigrant needs to know in order to survive in a new environment because information about medicine will heal them from sickness that might occur in the future, the laws will protect them from any social injustice, and information about transportation will help them get from one place to another easier and faster.
With the new presidential election coming in the next year, and presidential candidate Donald Trump and all of the controversy of illegal immigration is taking things to a whole other level. Coming from illegal immigrant parents it makes it very disturbing for me to see what society has become and what they are making immigrants seem like. Making the Hispanic look incompetent and unworthy of our country when in reality it’s that immigrant that has helped our country grow. It’s that hard working human being that is striving for growth. How shameful to see that the citizens of this actual country take it for granted when others aspire to belong.
Illegal immigration should be allowed in the United States because they bring the same amount of assets they receive here. Conor William states that America integrates immigrants because instead of assimilating them the United States includes and sees the assets and strengths they bring to the country as part of the equation. He says “Integration as a Two-Way Process.” That is, we get at least as much from immigrants as they get from us”. Immigrants have provided America changing ways in their lifeblood.
Our federal government has no greater constitutional responsibility, nor more important function than protecting our borders. There is also no greater failure than the lack of performance in this duty. Hundreds of thousands of our troops guard borders around the world, while an epidemic of illegal immigration to our country goes unchecked.
Immigration in America has changed a lot over the years. Back in the Plymouth plantation time sailors had trouble traveling because of seasickness and very high winds. In one ship a large group of sailors sets sail for Holland for a religious free place that would be in what they now call New England. After they had fair winds and weather for a season, they encountered some dangerous storms and winds that the ship crudely shake. The ship had some troubles from the winds and waves of water crashing onto the ship but made it through just fine.
I do not see a major issue with the legal immigration process. I think the main issues, as presented, are securing the border and the handling illegal immigrants.
I propose a new law that allows immigrants to come into our country. I think immigrants should be allowed into our country because they want freedom that they probably didn’t have in their own country. They probably want to come here because they want to restart their lives for themselves and their children.
president wants to deport all undocumented immigrants no matter how well they are doing in America. These days, over one-quarter of the farmhands in the United States are immigrants working here illegally. The president doesn’t realize that these immigrants help or economy This is how the growers and immigrants will respond to President Trump’s threatened crackdown on immigration: They will lobby, asking Congress to provide some legal option to hang on to their foreign work force. The president wants to build an expensive wall along the southern border to keep “rapists” and “criminals” from Mexico from illegally
The first immigration police I would like to address if the idea that “It's just as easy for immigrants to enter the contrary legal today as it was for my ancestors.” This quote is very powerful and expresses the idea that it is just easy to enter the contrary in morderen time as it was in the past, but I find this to be false for example “the skills need in America today are drastically different from the skill need the past.”(Stier, ken). For example in the pasted the united States need people to build and expanded to keep allowing the US to grow and develop. Nowadays the skills need have changed drastically, we are not looking for everyday joe to working fast food restaurants. The US is looking for doctors and engineers to start diagnosing
Regardless of my immigration status, CUNY Becas has offered me a chance to pursue my career path. I’ve received the CUNY Becas scholarship twice in the past two years, and it has not only fostered my personal growth, but has given me the motivation to keep fighting for what I want. Nevertheless, we are now doubtlessly in a very different moment than we were a few months ago. The new presidential administration has dramatically changed the national approach to immigrants. Although it feels like we have regressed in political progress, making us increasingly vulnerable, the Becari@s network has made me feel that I’m part of something large, something that not a person or a wall could ever destroy. I want to continue being part of this amazing
A young boy named Miguel sits on the couch of a stranger. He sits reminiscing about his life in Mexico. Just a few weeks ago, Miguel and his family took the drastic decision of immigrating to the United States. A decision made not because the family wanted to but because of necessity. The family was witnessing how prosperity in their home country was no longer an expectation or even a reasonable goal. With the family's hand forced, they took a long dangerous journey to the United States. It's been a few weeks and the family is trying to cope. The family doesn't know anyone or the language spoken. Stuck in a foreign state miles and miles from home they can only hope for the best. Will this foreign state known as America give them the opportunities they yearn for so much?
