Immigration Reform Research Paper

There are many hotly debated and contentious issues today. Issues that people often find themselves arguing about with their friends, or something that people have a very strong presupposed belief of. But none more hotly debated or more querulous perhaps, than our immigration system. Very few issues have the magnitude and aptitude to tear an entire nation apart, and this is one of them. As with every struggle, there are two point of views. There are those that welcome the cultural differences and the economical possibilities that immigrants bring with them, along with their traditions and their work ethic. On the opposite side, there are those that view them as a potential threat to our barely recovering economy and to their American way of

Undocumented immigrants have created lives here and become part of communities, and it is not right to take that away from them. Not only is it not inhumane, but also it would hurt the economy as well since granting citizenship to undocumented workers causing the economy to grow, not stunt its growth. Even though many believe that undocumented immigrants becoming citizens will harm citizen’s jobs, this is also proven to be false because immigrants create jobs and fill the gaps of the jobs not done by natural born citizens. Undocumented immigrants also are proven to not commit as many crimes as the American counterpart, unlike many opponents’ views. By legalizing and allowing the citizenship of over 11 million people, our country can grow, not only financially in our economy, but grow as a

American has had a steady problem with how to resolve the illegal immigration problem. This is a great threat to the United States because it can significantly increase crime. There is much that can be done to prevent this current crisis, spinning completely out of control. Although the security needs are vast and call for reform on many levels, first and foremost, the borders need to be secure. Until this happens, the American people are at risk. It is my view, whatever the cost or whatever the measures needed, Congress needs to first allocate the money for the protection of the border to stop violent gangs, such as the notorious gang MS-13 from coming to America and committing horrendous crimes.

In the first place, illegal Immigrants have always been an issue in America. The plan would appear to be to make and put actively an Immigration Reform. One if the main issue is The United States have always been a country of immigrants. There have been refugees that came here forcefully, some reluctantly. In any case, however you look at it we are all immigrants, or the families of refugees.

Immigration has been a controversial subject over the years, especially when the time comes for Presidential elections, but while legislators play politics, the immigration problem has continued to be unresolved. The future will tell whether the immigration reform will resolve the problem of millions of immigrants who already reside in the United States, or the problem will continue to be ignored until another presidential term. Very little has been done in the past or is being done in the present to resolve any of the issues surrounding immigration.

Out of all the controversial topics facing our nation now, immigration reform remains one of the most controversial. Many sides argue that immigration helps boost a nation up, but others have argued that it doesn’t help our nation or its people out. Diversity was and always will be America's strong suit when compared to the rest of the world. One issue that has always been controversial however is immigration reform. Many countries have adopted different techniques to combat this issue, but many share the same concern: the cost and the risks of having illegal immigrants. Today we are here to state that illegal immigration doesn’t help us yet in many cases, it hinders natural-born citizens of this country by forcing them to pay for and defend

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.

The United States’ immigration system has several flaws that no one seems to know how to address. There have been several attempts to correct these flaws like accommodating immigrants with the Dream Act and trying to eliminate illegal entries into the U.S by spending billions of dollars on border patrol. However, there are flaws in those attempts also. For example, according to Daniel Gonzalez, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients are having a hard time finding jobs and, in some states, are prohibited from getting a drivers license. Also, the billions of dollars that have been poured into increased border patrol “reduced but did not stop unauthorized entries” (Mae M. Ngai). Perhaps the flaws in the U.S. immigration system are present because the attempts to fix them contradict one another. Congress tries to make border patrol stricter, but yet attempt to accommodate undocumented immigrants. Nevertheless, these contradictions should be brought to the attention of the public and even Congress for three reasons: the U.S. have attempted to accommodate migrants, but their actions are severely flawed, there is too much money being spent on border patrol, but illegal entry still exists and is somewhat encouraged, and the House of Representatives and Senate can’t agree on how to approach the issue. These are issues that both current and future migrants and immigrants should care about because they should be accommodated in a way that is easy for them to live the

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.

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

There have been over 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally and the issue still continues. Some people have said that illegal immigrants benefits the U.S economy. The only thing is that immigrants are illegally passing the border without proper documentation. I’m for it because it will make the population bigger.

Imagine yourself walking in your town and having the fear of seeing immigration patrol. Being taken away in just a second and not being able to contact your family. The moment you see immigration patrol you get shocked; your mind goes blank and have no idea what to do but to panic and think of a solution to avoid getting close to them and getting deported. The fear of getting deported out of nowhere gains anxiety but even though you have no crimes on your record and you are not a United States citizen it makes you feel insecure and afraid. In 2014 Barack Obama's immigration speech, he says, " All of us are created equal and all have the chance to make our lives that we will" (105). Regardless

The truth is that many of these illegal immigrants would not come here to the United States, where they would have to face many uncertain challenges if they could do it legally. Some of these people just don’t have a choice, do to their current situations. Some of the factors that contribute to the challenges of these immigrants are poverty and not having an education to further their self’s and their children in their country of origin, which makes it hard to stay in a place where hope has been lost. The people who are here now illegally are some of the hardest working people around, their only crime committed are being poor, uneducated, and entering the land of hope. These people are forced to stay in the shadows where they are not seen, heard, or respected by society and the government. Despite of having to live in the shadows of other, most have come to make the U.S. part of their new home and have managed to raise their children despite of all the obstacles that await them in their path to one day becoming American citizens. The progress for these people is slow, hard, and controversial. Illegal immigrants with natural born citizen children are affected in many ways by the laws and the social pressure here in the United

I agree, higher education should be affordable for everyone and there is little value or worth in something that is free. However, I disagree and would like to speak to your statement regarding illegal immigrants attending college for free on the U.S taxpayers "dime". It is a statement that has no factual basis. The ability to apply for and receive "financial aid" or help with educational cost is only available to U.S citizens through the U.S government at the website FAFSA.ed.gov. Illegal immigrants cannot apply for nor receive government funding under any circumstance, least of which education. Financial assistance for education for undocumented immigrants is provided solely through institutional grants and scholarships and private funding

Did you know “U.S. Immigration and customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested more than 41,300 undocumented immigrants in the 100 days since president Trump signed a pair of executive orders tightening border security and cracking down on sanctuary cities” (Bendix). Well in many cases these undocumented immigrants are simply looking for better living in the United States for the fact that where they come from it’s hard to find stable jobs, good living and education. The reason why president Trump signed a pair of executive orders was to get rid of “undocumented immigrants with a criminal record or who pose a threat to national security remain a priority for the agency” (Homan). For this reason, preventing undocumented immigrants with a criminal record should not come to the U.S. to prevent violence into the U.S. also undocumented immigrants come to the U.S looking for good stable jobs and housing; even though it can be scary for them because they could get caught by (ICE) they still take risks for their families to have the right education and opportunities they never had back home.
