The Importance Of Immigrants

Although some argue otherwise, immigrants have a positive impact on our society. It is ironic how "within the country founded by Immigrants- Immigrant somehow become a bad word" (K'Naan). Although statistics prove that immigrants do bring overcrowding, drug trafficking, and diseases, they also impact positively on our economy and bring cultural knowledge. Being an immigrant in America is no easy task, they work long hours and most of the time have multiple jobs. Because the American dollar has greater value, immigrants will take any job that pays better than their home country. This often means they do the unwanted jobs of Americans. Immigrants fight hard to work their way to America with the American dream in mind, but once here that dream becomes very distant due to unexpected challenges they faced. In Valeria Luiselli book "Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in Forty Questions", she addresses her experience as an interpreter for immigration court of the state of New York, discussing the stories she has heard with the immigration process. Throughout the book, she explains her view of the lack of sympathy and protection the United States has for the young immigrants. Her purpose to show the difficulties the immigrants go through - their sacrifice, resilience, and strength as they fight to survive and obtain a better life in America can also be seen in K'naan video - "The Hamilton Mixtape: Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)", through his use of symbolism everywhere in the music.

Being an immigrant in the United States is hard. People come here to work and bring their children, because there’s more opportunities here and the country is known for being a free land. But they are being sent back to a place where they don’t get the same things as they do here.Immigrants are also a big part of the U.S because most are in the fields,construction,landscaping, and all these jobs that are hard. Immigrants shouldn’t be deported because they are here to work hard, to help out their families and also live the American dream like any other.

After the Civil War and the battle had ended on the war field, a new battle arose in the life of the industrialized civilians. It was the time of the Gilded age an era where big businessmen arose and immigrants fled into United States of America. Immigrants from southern and western Europe came in enormous quantities. This grew the population tremendously in the city of New York. Though they made it in America they still faced hardships such as job discrimination, poor housing, and stripped of their culture. Even though the population of immigrants grew consequently the jobs task they could perform did not. The workforce changed tremendously form people working for themselves to people working for a company. This made it difficult for immigrants to get work due to nativism and them having lack of entrepreneurship. 1880 until 1920 was known as “Coming to America”

Although America was built upon immigrants, American citizens had varying degrees of toleration of new immigrants. America was seen as a place of opportunity and freedom which led many travel to America to better their own lives.

The United States was originally founded by immigrants. As the country started to form, those immigrants started to call themselves “Americans”. As the country grew and prospered, the country was no longer made up of immigrants. Although that didn’t stop the immigrants from coming. Many brought their families which eventually led the government to ask what they should do with them. The DREAM act was proposed which would lead college age immigrants to citizenship. This act proposed that these immigrants would have to have been in the U.S. before the age of 16 and have obtained a GED or a high school diploma. From this they would have Conditional Resident status from which they would be able to get permanent residency through attending an institution of higher learning or serving in the military. There are many who support it, but there are also many who are against the act.

Immigrants have played a crucial role in the development and prosperity of the United States since the conception of the United States. America was built on immigrants without immigrants the United States wouldn’t be a fraction of what it is today. Due to Immigrants from the past America continues to develop and progress at a faster rate than any other country. Keep in mind that everyone in the United States ancestors was once immigrants, so there is no such thing a “pure-native born American”. Immigrants still play a vital role in America's prosperity since the birth of the United States.

An Immigrant is a person who has citizenship in one country but who enters a different country to set up a permanent residence. Immigrants are motivated to leave their former countries of citizenship, or habitual residence, for a variety of reasons, some enforcement to leave their homeland because of exile, escape from prejudice climate or environmentally induced migration, but the majority came voluntarily because of a lack of local access to resources, a desire for economic prosperity, to find or engage in paid work, to better their standard of living, family reunification, retirement, conflict or natural disaster, or simply the wish to change one's quality of life. Some scholars claim that today’s immigration in American society are debating

At this time, the United States has allowed more immigrants to enter the country than at any time in its history. Over a million legal and illegal immigrants take up residence in the United States each year. I am the immigrant, too. All the other countries people like to come here for the better lives for them and their families. America is a freedom-oriented country, where everyone likes to live. I came here 3 years ago, first, I did not like it, but it is good in here. Now I want to live here with my religions and heritage. American culture is very different from Indian culture. I can mix these cultures and I can live my life. This country gives freedom for however you want to live. Immigration at current magnitude is not fulfilling the interests or demand of this country. Many people believe that immigrant should not come to the United States of America. They think immigrants taking way their places and jobs, but this is not true. I am not totally disagreeing with them. Who ever come to the US they have their own goals and ideas that they follows. An immigrant does not mean to take their jobs from them. America is a melting pot of different cultures. Many people who live here are undocumented immigrants.

Immigrants have been coming to America for better lives for several centuries now. It is hypocritical of us to keep immigrants out of our country, consider that our ancestors were immigrants at one point as well. Allowing immigrants into America helps make us a diverse nation, and being diverse is always a good thing. Being multicultural helps us to learn different things and grow in society. Some may say that building a wall will help us by keeping immigrants out, when it will only keep us from gaining true equality among the masses. The only way to change the past is to move forward and keeping immigrants out keeps from doing exactly that. Immigration policymaking should be by the authority of the federal government.

When immigrants are coming into the United States they are leaving a country and culture that they have lived in most of their lives. Learning about a new society, language barriers, living and working among strangers, and coping with their hardships are some struggles that immigrants face. However, because the United States does have a great diversity, there are many groups of people that can help with the adjustments. According to American Progress, there were 13.5% of the population that were immigrants in 2015. These people with very little skills come to the United States for a better work experience and to be able to pursuit their American Dream. According to the article “Immigration is good for the U.S economy” written by A. Barton Hinkle

All people are diverse and come from many backgrounds. Most people settled here in America as an immigrant to start a better life for their future generations and for opportunities. Most people came here with nothing but bringing along their cultures, knowledge, beliefs and behaviors which they can be shared amongst others in groups and society. In society, starting with the earlier generation there was always shared culture of classes, although everyone portrays immigrants as the lowest status. They are always disliked particularly for coming here as an immigrant, even though most of their backgrounds or their parent’s background statuses were very much similar whether they want to admit it or not. It’s how they hold themselves in society. People are divided into different classes and treated differently. Most immigrants have to settle in, adapting to the American lifestyle, whether they like it or not, they’ll have to blend in and start off with low paying jobs and making new friends. Adapting to lifestyle, the choice of food and to how they communicate. It is always harder for immigrants to unite with everyone since people are so strict against immigrants; they judge them as outcasts by what they eat, what they wear and especially how one communicates. High culture/elites think they are higher ranking so therefore there is always miscommunication. They think they are way better and wouldn’t want except one another because of status or flaws.

Immigrants have played a significant role to strengthen the U.S. economy. There are some distinct factors that would further stimulate the U.S. economy due to immigration. These include; the increased productivity and GDP level, provision of a large number of unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled labors, entrepreneurs and technological innovators, demand for goods and services and the positive fiscal impact on American revenue.

Immigrants are not protected under the constitution but there are some in the bill of rights. That lady said what Trump was doing was unconstitutional and that's why she wouldn't defend. When in fact that that is not true. She acted on her opinion and her own emotions. You can not have someone like that in the presidential staff. She chose not to do her job therefore she chose the consequences. If I chose not to do my job I would be fired as well. It's the way it is. And if what Trump is doing is "unconstitutional " then what all other presidents did was also "unconstitutional ". Presidents can use any action of threats ...past ,

America is and isn’t the land of opportunity for all. America accepts a decent amount immigrants each year. They have to go through a lengthy process, but if they are accepted they can come to America really easily. However, opportunity in America is not as easy as they might think. Life for an immigrant can be slow and arbitrary for a while, and sometimes it might never get better.

For many years people have been arguing about the amount of undocumented immigrants entering the U.S each year. It is an issue of ever growing proportions. Arguing over the solution is not a light topic. Every year people leave dangerous conditions in order to escape the insanity of their country and find refuge in ours. Should we refuse them or should we invite them? We should not deject these people, however leaving our doors open all the time is not productive either. It would be in our best interest if the decision was made to limit the amount of undocumented entry in our country.
