Immigration To America

During the Vietnam War, the Hmong participated and helped assist the United States government. However, when the United States withdrew from the war, the North Vietnamese and Laos Communist government declared genocide on the Hmong (Tatman, 2004; Thao, 2003). Thus, the Hmong were left to defend themselves and flee to refugee camps in Thailand (McCall, 1999). This resulted in the Hmong migrating to the United States during the late 1970s through 2007 as refugees. They predominately reside in California, Minnesota, and Wisconsin (Collier, Munger, & Moua, 2012; Lee & Green, 2008).

Immigrating to America during the mid-1800s to the early-1900s was a very difficult and important change to an immigrant's life. Immigrants came to America because of political and religious issues, economic opportunities from the Great Plains, and employment.

The American Dream has many meanings, for the immigrants they believed that this was a pursuit of big opportunities and living a stable life. Immigrants also had terrible issues back at their homeland which gave them the motive to leave, these are called push factors. Some push factors were poverty,

The United States of America is often known as a melting pot due to the variety of cultures and immigrants that reside here. Even though immigrants account for approximately “…13 percent of the total U.S. population of 316.1 million” (Zong and Batalova), they are not always welcomed. Immigration has been an issue in the United States since it was first established. Most natives to the United States take issue with this many immigrants because they fear that immigrants drain resources, or they believe that there are too many people in the country already or that more immigrants will cause them to be uncomfortably overcrowded. The most widely believed reasons among natives that were opposed to allowing more immigrants into the United States

Immigration in the United States has been a big problem for a long time. Immigrates come from all over the world. Some of them are legally here and some are not. Immigrates take jobs away from the citizens of the united states. They work for less money and most time, work harder and longer days. This is one of the causes for unemployment to be at an all-time high. “Over 8 million Americans were officially unemployed in July, with more than 2 million classified as long-term unemployed,” as Jan C. Ting reports. With the influx of immigrates, they taxed many of our resources. These resources are as simple as having enough water, food or houseing. Medical help is also being used at the cost of the citizens of the united states. Some say,

From the moment of its inception, the United States has always been a nation of immigrants. Throughout American history, the numerous immigration waves have undeniably defined the infrastructure of America. By bringing a different set of views and innovative ideas, immigrants injected the economy and advanced technology through innovative work. However, the United States has not kept up its immigration policies with the changing times for the past three decades. Many people are blaming illegal immigration for the loss of “American” jobs and why many Americans cannot find work today. Many businesses are hardly ever penalized due to the fact that this Nation lacks a practical method to verify the newly hired workers work eligibility. The

For many centuries now immigration has been important to the key developments of North American countries. From the English settlers from the original 13 colonies, to the French who settled into what is now modern day Canada, even the Irish and German settlers during the Industrial revolution, all the way to Mexicans trying to find work in the booming U.S. economy after the second world war, immigrants have always flocked to America in search of a better life. The Immigration issues doesn’t just stop there either, even in today’s time many refugees from the middle east are fleeing Islamic terrorist groups only to find their rights and safety in America threatened as well. With the recent election of Donald Trump and the promises he has

The United States of America, being a country established by immigrants, is known all over the world as the land of great opportunities. People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family. Over the years, the population of immigrants has grown immensely, resulting in the currently controversial issue of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are the people who have overstayed the time granted on their US, visa or those who have broken the federal law by crossing the border illegally. Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, legal and illegal, from around the world, come to the United States. These immigrants come because they want a chance at a better life; others are refugees, escaping persecution and civil wars in their home country. While America has long seen and celebrated itself as a nation of immigrants, what was useful in previous generations has potential problems that must be addressed through stricter immigration policies.

The migration of immigrants to the U.S. has been a topic for many years now. American born citizens should become aware of the benefits of having immigrants in this nation because it can change a lot of prejudices between them. The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that, “about half of the hired workers employed in U.S. crop agriculture were unauthorized, with the overwhelming majority of these workers coming from Mexico.” The USDA has also warned that, “any potential immigration reform could have significant impacts on the U.S. fruit and vegetable industry” (“Illegal immigrants benefit the U.S. economy” 1). American citizens have had a mistaken belief that the rise of immigration in the country could bring about economic downfalls. Some of those downfalls are fear of job loss, fear of crime rising, and anxiety about changing ethnic and racial makeup of the country (Lu 1324). Although this mistaken belief might seem true for some, there is substantial evidence to prove that immigrants are actually beneficial to the economy here in America. The migration of immigrants to the United States is more beneficial to the economy by creating more jobs for Native-born citizens, by boosting earnings for American workers, and by developing cutting-edge technologies and companies.

Immigration has long played an important role in world history. The very creation of the United States rests in the hands of immigrants from a multitude of places, such as Spain, Britain, France, and The Caribbean. Because of this, immigration is held at a controversial pedestal in the 21st Century. Should the employment of a person be determined by race, civil status or origin, or should it be measured by work ethic? The spirit of competition, the “inner drive that for two centuries has made the American workingman unique in the world, that has enabled him to make this land the citadel of individual freedom and of opportunity,” (Nixon) is important to consider when hiring.

In the poem, On the Emigration to America, the author, Philip Freneau, expresses common themes that are seen through other pieces of colonial American Literature. The author was focuses on the idea of oppression, and tells his story of his coming to America and the changes that occurred the New World over time. He uses an apostrophe, a way to address a thing or person not actually there, and puritan plain to paint a clear picture to readers of the cycle of oppression in the colonial period.
