Illegal immigration in the United States is one of the most controversial issues of today. The United States is a nation built on immigrants and this is why the nation was deemed “The melting pot,” because of all the different nationalities residing in this country. The argument of immigration and whether or not it enhances or threatens life in the United States is an on-going issue. Although we are trying to protect our citizens, immigration laws treat immigrants poorly. This country needs to re-examine the immigration laws, so that they do not treat immigrants unfairly as well as protect our citizens while protecting the borders.…
In order to solve illegal immigration is to end birthright citizenship. Birthright Citizenship is the ability of permit automatic citizenship to the children born in the United States. The 14th Amendment, which states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to jurisdiction therefore, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The difficult situation with birthright citizenship is that it creates a allure to others who are willing to break any law to create a more efficient life for their offsprings. “ However, going forward, we must soon disincentivize parents from risking their lives to bring their children to the united states” (…

Immigration has always been a topic discussed in the United States and in countries all around the world. It is a topic with history going back hundreds of years. Lately immigration has been one of the most talked about topics in the United States, mainly due to the recent presidential elections. Immigration is an ongoing topic with many different points of views both good and bad, like any other topic. In order to change these attitudes and make a change, people need to come together and come to the conclusion that they need each other. They need to realize that something can be done without hurting others, and this is something that needs to be stated nationally.…
What are the anti-immigrant policies? The anti-immigrant policies are congressional acts, that regulate the conditions under which residents of foreign countries, may enter the U.S. to live permanently. Five years ago, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), an American immigration policy was established by the Obama administration in June 2012. This policy allows some individuals who entered the country illegally as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. The purpose of DACA is to protect eligible immigrant youth who came to the United States when they were children from deportation. Approximately 800,000 individuals, referred as Dreamers were enrolled in…
Illegal immigration has been, and I believe will continue being a controversy in the United States for years to come. Many people who complain about these illegal immigrants aren’t quite aware of the prolonged process of obtaining a permanent residency card. Whether you agree with the current naturalization process or not, viewing it from an immigrant’s perspective could change your outlook on it. American citizens should be educated on this topic before they begin to express their political views on immigrants, immigration laws and so forth. People looking into enduring the naturalization process will have various options to choose from. Each process will contain different rules and requirements that decide your eligibility. The majority of…
The United States of America is not just a country, but it is a idea that millions have fought for throughout history, built on the back of many immigrant backgrounds, it is the melting pot of the Western world. Having the 3rd largest population in all of the world, there is going be debates on many controversial issues. The main debate in domestic terms is about either deporting an estimated 8-11 million undocumented illegal aliens,whose only premise is to seek a better life. Many will say deport them as they are breaking many laws on the way to the United States,instead having them do it the legal way.Unfortunately they are forced to come in illegally and become an integral part of the economy and country. There has to be immigration reform…
The birthright citizens also know as 14th amendment was ratified on July 9, 186, it granted citizenship to “all person born or naturalized” in the United States. In recent news the topic of birthright citizenship has been a big debate in the GOP candidate race for president. Many candidates have made it know that they are against against birthright citizenship, someone of them our top GOP leader Donald Trump, and Ben Carson. Other candidates Like Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina have shown that they are for the citizenship. An example of how the basic rights has help a child born to illegal immigrations is Marco Rubio. He was born in Miami, FL to Cuban immigrants’ parents, who fled Cuba during Castro dictatorship in search…
Immigration policy is one topic that has been very frequently debated recently and has become one of the deciding factors for many Americans when it comes to the presidential elections this November. The reason behind this is that the immigration population has reached more than 42 million people that comprise 13 percent of the entire population . They have become more influential in our politics and economy by contributing nearly 15% of the total economic output and this has led to new legislation from the President such as DACA and DAPA which hopes to keep more immigrants in the country and allow them to contribute to economy further. There is the argument however, that these immigrants are taking jobs from Americans and contributing to…
The biggest problem of immigration is the way it has divided America. During this last election, I heard the topic of Immigration discussed more than I’ve ever heard before, and most of it was opinion, rather than fact. Immigration has triggered the most disgusting fears of many Americans, the “foreign people are coming to take over” fear. In my opinion, immigration is a good thing, as it brings diversity to the United States, which is something I value very much. Many people believe that immigrates come to America, rent homes, use the U.S. and then leave. However, according to the Center for American Progress, 50.7 percent of immigrants are homeowners, compared to 64.6 percent of U.S. citizens. I’ve heard quite a few people say that immigrants…
There are many controversial topics that are amongst us. Two specific controversial topics that interest me due to my strong opinions/views are: abortion and border fence. Let's just talk about abortion, shall we? As we all know abortion is a very controversial topic that is constantly being debated due to the action being done. For those who don't know, abortion is the ending of pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo before it can survive outside the uterus. Many find this conflicting because it is related to ethical, moral, philosophical, biological and legal topic. This is an intimate topic because it touches on a person's moral system which is why the responses can be considered a volatile and highly emotional response. For abortion the…
Illegal immigration is having a negative effect on local economies, health care services, public schools, and public safety all across the United States. One of the most controversial and debated political issues of today is that of illegal immigration from Mexico. Immigration is generally welcomed in the United States; however illegal immigration is a different situation. Illegal immigration from Mexico harms the legal, taxpaying citizens of America, so the government and it 's agencies must increase national security.…
I am writing to you concerning the recent legislation regarding allowing illegal immigrants to be given amnesty and allowed to apply for work permits and, after two years, being granted citizenship. This troubles me greatly, especially with our unemployment rate being as high as it currently is. This would make it much more difficult for those searching for employment as there would be much more competition.…
Due to the fact that deporting the illegal immigrants would be a difficult task and a costly one as well, it would be better off just giving them amnesty and have them here in the United States to contribute to the workforce and the consumers population, meanwhile resolve their status as immigrants to citizens. As seen in politics, immigration is a very hot topic to this very day. We see immigration being used by the politicians to get the people to vote for them. When the immigrants come to the U.S. they aren’t coming for no reason, they come for a more prosperous living style, better suited economy as well to support their family in their home country. There is controversy to this subject matter such as they consume the American public services…
