...Deporting Immigrants There are around 11 million or more illegal immigrants in the United States today. Mother Jones Writes, “Immigrants are worried at this time because they might be deported” (Jones 3) back to Mexico for not having documents to be here in America. Illegal immigrants should not be deported because they are valuable for the economy; by having immigrants working in the United States it allows the working industry to be more productive.

A lot of immigrants live in America to get a better job or any job that can be available. Because immigrants are seldom hired for corporate jobs and are paid minimum wage most...

...Large cities often are the gateway into a country for large numbers of immigrants. As a result, large cities are confronted with unique hurdles involving immigrant integration, which are different than the issues of immigrants faced at a federal level. The need for cooperation between federal, state, and local government becomes more pressing at the municipal rung of the governmental ladder, so to speak. Big cities are faced with swift variations in the size of their population, in no small part due to the shepherding of immigrants to cities by federal policies. The cultures and lifestyles of these immigrants run the gamut in terms of their diversity. The assimilation of immigrants into the city’s society is not an organic development. Immigrants...

...Should Undocumented immigrants should get a “path to citizenship?” Today the United States is facing an everyday issue, Immigration. Immigration is when someone else from another country comes to live in another country, Permanently. Some people are fighting to legalize the immigrants from all over the world, some are not and do not support the legalization of immigrants. There are over 11 million legal immigrants in our country. However, I think that immigrants should get a “path to citizenship” because Immigrants can help improve the economy, It can cost too much to deport, and that it keeps people and family from fearing. One important reason that Undocumented immigrants should get a citizenship is that it cost way too much to deport immigrants...

...Undocumented immigrants are not only grown adults, they are also young children, and babies as well. Just about 1.8 million of the United States undocumented immigrant’s populations are eighteenth years or younger. Just about 65,000 undocumented students have even graduated from American high schools each year (Adams, Boyne 47-62). It is a very complicated situation for not only the government, but for these undocumented students. The students who graduate from American high schools on average continue their studies in college or after graduation begin working and contributing to society (Adams, Boyne 47-62) By allowing undocumented students to go through school and college is very beneficial to society. For many kids who were born...

...debate in the recent past. Many people argued that the immigrants are usually looking for better jobs or better economic opportunities for themselves and their families. However, researches have shown there is other factors more compelling than the economic determinants (Ryo 574).according to the study most of those people who try to enter America illegally have a friend or a family member who has also tried to cross into United States illegally. Additionally, the research found that Mexicans believe that they have a right to be in the United States without seeking permission from anybody (Ryo 577). Illegal immigration to the United States started very long time ago; research shows that there are more than twelve million illegal immigrants in the country today.

...Many new immigrants came to Canada to live the “Canadian’s dream”-- the good education, free health care, fresh air and most importantly new lifestyle and bright future for the younger generation. Not until the settle down and realize that the dream they imagine is slightly different from the reality. Their neighbor speaks the same homeland language as them, even store and shopper mall’s sign and menu are in same homeland language. I remember once my dad said that “ If you lived in the Toronto area, there is no need for you to learn English because you can do everything just by speaking Chinese. Everyone know Chinese here.” Toronto has one of the most concentrated Asian population in Canada. It is also one of the most popular places for new Asian immigrant to live in because of the large population of Asian. With all these benefits for newcomers, it's hard for them to understand the disadvantage of living in an area with many other immigrants like them....

...Undocumented immigrants are humiliated, threatened, bullied, and some people are racist to them, but many of them are afraid to do something about it. Since some of them are here illegally, they are afraid that if they press charges against someone they will be deported back to their original country. That’s why many employers take advantage of them. “It is well known that recently arrived immigrants have lower earnings, on average, than native-born workers with similar educational levels,” and some employers even pay them less than the minimum wage. A lot of people take advantage of undocumented immigrants just like in 1970’s and 1980’s when people took advantage of African Americans. Color people who used to work in farms, had to work outside...

...My first time hearing about undocumented immigrants was when I was at Tartan Senior High. It was my sophomore year when Donald Trump was elected. The halls were crazy and students were crying uncontrollably. There was this girl, I remember her like it was yesterday. Not only was she being bullied, but there was racism involved, too. Kids told her to go back to her country which did not make her feel welcome. Tartan was crazy at this time. An undocumented immigrant is somebody who is not in our system. It is hard for them in the country because they can’t get any legal papers, like a driver’s license. It’s hard for undocumented workers to get jobs. The jobs they have to get are blue collar jobs. They can’t work legally without drawing attention...

...Immigrants of the past may be seen as well respected, courages ancestors because they endured many hardships and were not welcomed here in America. Many migrated to the U.S. due to famine and poor living conditions, and were than discriminated against when they arrived. We now look upon them with inspiration because they helped to build the nation we live in today. These immigrants built off one another. As Takaki mentions, "The economy fastened these different people to each other. Irish women manufactured cotton grown on Indian lands, picked by enslaved African Americans" (2008). However, this same outlook on immigrants of today does not hold true. Sadly, today's society looks upon immigrants as users and takers. This may stem from the belief...

...I would be the immigrants that came during the boosterism of Colorado. They came for a variety of reasons like for example for gold, in hopes to get rich quick, or seeking for a new start to live life. I would want to be categorized as one of them because I feel like we would feel the same way about the native americans,conflicted. At first they wouldn't think much of them as for we are all different people with different cultures. Then during the travels through Colorado, they will witness other families being raided and mutilated, without having a clue why the Natives were doing what they were doing. Causing them to fear the Natives and perhaps even hate them for their attacks. As the Sand Creek Massacre Witness Account said “ Local newspapers...

...Immigrants in Exile was a course that I did not realize that I needed to take. At the time that I signed up for it, all I knew was that I was angry. I was angry at an administration that had turned their backs on hundreds of thousands that only wanted a brighter future. What this course taught me that beyond the dreamers and immigrants within the United States, I had other to be angry for. Though the struggle of the undocumented American within the United States is rough, the fears that they have are a reality for so many that have already been deported. However, their names do not sit in on our media, they are not painted by the best students, by their accomplishments. Instead, so many are deported. I don’t know what expectations or objectives I had before taking this course, but I do know that it went further and taught me...

...the United States. The pro immigration side argues that we all got here through immigration. Therefore we should not restrict immigration in any way. Another issue the pro side has is that immigrations is good in the sense that it creates diversity. This is a great thing because it helps people see that the “American” way is not the only way to do things. The next issue the pro side would claim is cheap labor. California and Texas specifically benefit from this more than any other state. Additionally, the pro side presents the case of giving the illegal alien a better opportunity then they have in their home country. Lastly, they argue that the benefits, such as taxes, outweigh the costs that an immigrant will incur. The idea is that an immigrant buys our products and lives in our country, which contributes to our G.D.P. On the other side of the argument, the con-immigration side argues that the immigrants steal jobs from the U.S. residents. Since immigrants can be paid cheaper wages, an employer would rather pay an immigrant than a resident. The next issue the con side has it that immigrants bring problems to America, such as cultural differences and language barriers. Not only do they bring problems, but according the con side, they cause problems as well. They argue that because there are more immigrants trying to get in the country than there are border patrol agents, they cannot protect the country like they are supposed to. Another issue the con side has is that the money...

...Pros of Immigration Irineo JR Nunez BCOMM/275 02/19/2015 Wesley Page Pros of Immigration “With over 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally (as of 2012), the issue of illegal immigration continues to divide Americans,” (What Are the Solutions to Illegal Immigration in America?, 2014). I feel this statement should be corrected and instead of the word “divide” it should be “unite”. Reason being is for decades and centuries immigrants around the world have traveled to different countries for the same common goal. To better ourselves and with hard work we will persue to our personal growth. Here in United States, people say that with illegal immigration in our states will have the benift to increase our US economy through additional tax revenue, the increase of money circulation, and low-cost labor. Many Americans despite immigration because immigrants come to United States soil with motivation and replace those who wont perform specific job duties. Illegal immigration can benefit us in numerous ways and according to the website apecsec.org, it states, “Illegal migrants who own real estate properties will be obliged to pay taxes and this will benefit the country where they go. Real estate agents including the brokers will get commission coming from the real estate transactions made between them and the immigrants. Financial & auto insurance loans will make the country’s income even higher,” (Illegal Immigration Pros and Cons, 2014). Also, giving Immigrants...
