...Given an opportunity Immigrants should stay “More than 11.7 million immigrants from Mexico resided in the United States in 2014, according to the ACS, accounting for 28 percent of all U.S. immigrants.” I’m arguing to let immigrants stay in the united states. My reasons is based on the information I have gathered to explain why I’m writing this so immigrants can stay in the U.S. The more deportation that happens keeps happening the more families are being ripped apart and leaving children in foster care. The total cost for each child is about close to 26,000 per year to be in foster care. They’re more organizations are that willing to help out immigrants dealing with immigration problems by the basis that all immigrants matter. There are economic...

...Paper Immigration has been a front running story in the United States for years, why don’t we let them in American or why should we let them in America, and or why don’t they just follow the rules to get in American. All of the questions are asked by America and there is always conflicting answer to go with those conflicting question. This paper will be analyzing the conflicting reason why people what or do not want immigrates in America using conflict diagnoses and the conflicting resolution of the immigrations conflict in America. Conflict diagnosis will be cover a number of things like describing the conflict, identify the cause of the conflict, analyze interests, Characterize the conflict, Consider trust, Identify impediments to settlement, Identify/maximize the Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA), and Consider diversity issues (Zee Pedia , 2014). This conflict of can be described as the American people vs the American people, the American people vs the American government, and the Immigrants vs the American government these are all the parties involved in this conflict. Next step is to understand why each group believes in what they believe to cause the conflict. Why do immigrants what to come to America so bad, so bad to risk not only their lives but their children and their wives/mothers lives? Most immigrants say the same thing “Immigrants chose to come for various reasons, such as to live in freedom, to practice their religion freely, to escape poverty...

...illegal immigrants coming to the United States. Mexican are the most majority illegal immigrant that come to the US, since Mexico and United States are connected together. So Mexican people manage to cross the border easily without any problem. Although they are an illegal immigrant, they make a more innovative, flexible, and productive economy, leading to a new and better job. Three things that illegal immigrant helps the American society is making business grow, decreases in crimes rate, and help the U.S economy by paying taxes. Immigrants help business grow a lot in the United States due to them accept low wages and are very hard working people to gain money to provide for his/her family. In addition, illegal immigrant helps the business economy grow by accepting cheap work, business doesn't have to pay taxes, and business doesn’t have to pay for health care. In the article, “The Immigration Debate/ Effect on economy depends on viewpoint”, Carolyn Said says, “The impact of immigration on prices is closely linked to...

...Debate Question: Should the Canadian immigration and refugee legislation/policies be changed to reflect current world situations? Why or why not? What factors influence immigration policies in Canada (i.e., education, economic, political, health, security)? The groups that we divide our immigrants into are economic immigrants (people coming to work or study in Canada), family class (people who are coming to their families), other (immigrants coming for compassionate and humane reasons), and refugees (people escaping war or in need of protection). These all determine if you can come in, you can apply to enter Canada and you can apply to a variety of programs. Specifications that may deny you access to Canada are if...

...candidates. If you stay engrossed in the debates that are between Clinton and Trump, then you have heard Trump say, “Let’s build a wall”. If you think building a wall is ethical then you probably haven’t heard Lady Liberty’s quote. The Statue of Liberty has a poem embedded into her. The part of the quote that stands out to me is, “Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, i lift my lamp beside the golden door!”. How many American citizens know Lady Liberty’s quote? I believe we should still allow immigrants in America but limit how many immigrants come into America. We should balance the poem with the idea of the wall by making the Green Card citizen test easier...

...Why I believe immigrants come to America? I believe they come to America to have a better life, and get money to provide for their families. Immigrants come to America to seek freedom and different opportunities they cannot get in their homeland. Why should immigrants have to be deported back to their homeland because they have no rights in America which is supposed to be the “Land of the Free”. These people we call “immigrants” are the same people who would do anything to stay in the country.They do work us Americans don't like to take part in and wouldn't lift a finger doing. Immigrants actually want to work in U.S, they wants something good for themselves. This is the dream, they come to pursue a dream they wouldn't be able to get back home. They see America as their way to happiness and a better life. So why not let immigrants try to pursue a dream and find happiness instead of judging them and wanting to kick them out if the country. If they aren't doing any harm, why want them leave? Freedom is a big part of why immigrants come to America. Immigrants are people just as Americans, they aren't nothing less. They fight just like Americans fight to survive in the country. What would us Americans do if they were an immigrant living in poverty raising themselves? Yes some Americans do raise themselves but not all live in poverty.(Weeden, L. Darnell) No one should be judged by where they come from, who they are, or how they look. Us people use the quote “ Don't judge a book...

...Do Illegal Immigrants Threaten American Unity? Oscar Banuelos English 221 N1 Diane Williams 07/25/2013 Abstract: Immigration stems from multiple factors all converging including; getting pulled over just by their skin color, stereotypes that are not true like just because they are Mexican they are criminals, but also immigrants have a big effect on the economy. Whether the effect of illegal immigrants is positive or negative they still contribute a lot to the U.S. and also reflect on how immigrants take the jobs that Americans probably won’t take like working on the fields with the extensive heat, or be worried about going outside because they are scared that maybe they can get arrested and be deported. I think its time to put an end to this because families are being harmed with the current immigration situation. The government has to pass an immigration reform soon because this is a major problem in the whole country. Because immigrants are in America, we should be treated equally as U.S. citizens, because we are hardworking people. Illegal Immigrants came here to start a better life. Illegal Immigrants are not a threat to American society. America was founded by Immigrants. Even though some citizens don’t want us here, we are their support with the economy; we have invested billions of dollars in U.S. soil. Mexican Immigrants should be allowed to immigrate illegally and stay in the U.S. without being separated from their families or be afraid in their daily life...

...guessed how many races we have in this country? If not then let me tell you some of them: African American, Hispanic, White, Black, Latino, and there are many more. The problem with some of these races is that some of them may be undocumented and illegal that came to the U.S. without papers. Undocumented immigrants are people who came to the U.S. illegally which means they don’t have papers. And some families come to the U.S. for their kids so that they can be happy and have a good childhood. And the ones that don’t have families that are only a couple come here to have a better life and a better job in the U.S.. People may not know that some of the reasons why they came here. Also they came here to be free and to care for their loved ones in a free country. Some people may disagree that they should get a “path to citizenship”. But my opinion is that they should get a chance to come to the U.S. and my reason why that came here illegally. One important reason that Undocumented residents should be allowed a...

...Live Your Dream “Sometimes jobs that low-skilled Americans would be willing to do, such as washing dishes and cleaning bathrooms, are instead taken by illegal immigrants” (Collins). Are, in fact, illegal immigrants taking jobs that Americans could have? Many Americans believe that this is true, but would these jobs just go to waste if these immigrants did not take them? So many Americans think that illegal immigrants just come to America to take jobs from us, but really these illegal immigrants do more good than bad for our country. Why do illegal immigrants try to come to America in the first place? America has always been known as the land of the free, the land of opportunity. Illegal immigrants see this as a way to live a happier and a more successful life. According to Iowa senator, Dave Edwards, “The immigration system in this country is broken. It is estimated there are currently more than 12 million persons residing in the US illegally” (Edwards). All of these immigrants come to America to have a better life for their families and themselves. They work hard so that they can have a better future. So yes, the system may be broken but it could be a good thing that it is like this, not only for the immigrants but for Americans, as well. Illegal immigrants are normally paid more in America than they would be paid in Mexico, although they are at the bottom, and the lowest paid in this country. “Because of their low wages, they are forced to live in low-rent housing under...

...Immigration I come from a family of immigrants my mother, father and even my big brother is an immigrant, although he's older then me it's tends to confuse people on how i'm a citizen and he's not. My parents left my big brother named Inmer (in-mur) in Salvador where my parents originated from and in Salvador their conditions are really bad; gangs, drugs, territorial and even to this day it's still going on. Now, where are the cops? Well they're afraid of the gangs and basically now the gangs run the place so most cops are dirty cops not because they want to be but because if they don't listen or follow their instructions the gang will go after his/her family and murder leaving them alive and suffering, if you have no family there they’ll just...

...Currently, immigrants take up thirteen percent of the entire US population. Those thirteen percent seem small, but their impact is huge. Immigration seems innocent, it’s only people looking for better lives, but at what cost for the US? Immigration is the act of people leaving their own countries, and moving to new ones. They move to evacuate from wars, or to evacuate from poverty. When they come to other countries, they are often there illegally. Even though they are there illegally, the immigrants usually stay for a long time, but the extra people cause lots of new problems. Because of overpopulation, pollution, and the chance of immigrants taking United States citizen’s jobs, US immigration laws should be tightened. Immigration is a problem dating way back to the...

...countries to one country- America. Immigration has always existed in the United States, and without it the nation would not be where it is right now. The benefactors of immigration limitless, and Americans should treat immigrants not as a danger and disadvantage to the nation, but a way to help the nation progress as a whole. One of the first reasons immigrants are beneficial to America, is because the diversity they bring to the states. For many years immigrants have brought different types of cultures to the United States. With these cultures there has been an increase in diverse foods, fashion, and work ethic. Many people might say that immigrants take away jobs from American workers, however; with their introduction to different cuisines and shops it has created more jobs for Americans to pursue. When looking at the restaurants around us we can notice that all the stores do not originate from America, but other countries that have passed on their secrets to us. Immigrants also take the burden off Americans by working jobs that need to be done, but with no American citizens to volunteer t work. The idea of minimum wage in the United States is to have fair pay for everyone. An American apple picker would expect to get pain eight-seventy five an hour, but an Immigrant worker would settle for three dollars an hour. Because of these low wages Americans are able to produce much more work with almost a third of the pay. Not only does this help the economy in the United States...

...idea of immigrants’ deportation as to who has to be deported and who is not. Obama’s administration has been and continues sending immigrants back. His new goal is to deport only immigrants that have to do with criminology, in other words he doesn’t want to send back illegal residents who haven’t had significant troubles with the law. Washington is conducting a training course that will teach agents and officers to determine who is eligible to stay in the country and who is to be send back home. The article is somewhat contradictory in terms of whether this law should be enforced or not and how fast should that happen. The union represents 7000 deportation officers who do not participate in the training yet. This delays the law to be enforced and the immigrants to be sent home. Chris Cane who is the president of the ICE strongly disagrees with the strategy. “Mr. Cane accused the administration of tailoring its enforcement practices to win support from immigrant communities for Mr. Obama’s re-election.” (Julia Preston). Obama wants to send immigrants back home, in the mean time he doesn’t want to act roughly and fast. Most of the commanding officers did the training course. The deadline to the new policy being in effect is the end of this month (January). Mr. Crane hasn’t been very cooperative and expresses his disagreement through Republicans. According to the new policy a case about an immigrant who failed to come to the court for an immigration hearing should be closed...

...rest of the population. Illegal immigrants are generally defined as unauthorized residents that are foreign-born non-citizens and who are not legal residents. There are two ways an unlawful status can occur, the most common one happening when individuals are entering the United States without the appropriate paperwork, mandatory inspections, and background searches. In the second occurrence, individuals were first legally admitted for a certain period of time predetermined by authorities and this either as students, visitors, or temporary workers. Once the time frame expired, they omitted to leave the country as they were mandated by law, thus becoming illegal residents. According to The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) latest report, it is estimated that over ten million illegal immigrants were currently residing in America as of January 2010, from which about 60% originally lived in the country of Mexico. Furthermore, the official statistics revealed that the overall population of illegal immigrants in the United States has enlarged by almost 30% in the past decade alone; this means that more than two million unauthorized aliens came to this country since the year 2000 (1). From such alarming numbers, the mainstream population seems to agree that an immigration reform is needed, but a continual conflict is keeping the nation from a solution. The argument revolves around what should be done with all the illegal immigrants that have been let in the country and are living...

...An immigration Reform It is not news that our immigration system is broken and it is in urgent need of an immigration reform. Throughout the years, many families have been separated from their loved ones because the government has still not sign an immigration reform. Families live day-by-day in fear of deportation. We have to do something about the immigration process and finally come up with a reform that will see everyone as a human beings and not illegal aliens. There is no question that this country was built by immigrants, yet the government is afraid to let people in. They only want people of a certain category. Only those with an impeccable record, scientists and those workers in high demand. But others with less than this attributions to the country would not qualify for the reform that the government wants. “Senate bill 744 establishes clear preferences regarding the type of immigrant the United States should accept, the upwards striving student with an impeccable record, the computer programmer recruited from Mumbai to Silicon Valley.” On November 20, 2014 President Obama announced executive action to protect millions of immigrants from deportation, called DACA. But it was only two categories that qualify. “The first are the undocumented parents of United States citizens or legal permanent residents who have been in the United States since January 1, 2010. The second are undocumented children who arrived in the United States before the age of sixteen and have...
