Immigration is a heated and contemporary subject in America, both in the White House and among the Americans.

There is no doubt, immigration changes a country, but is it for the better or the worse? Is it necessary to be bothered by immigrants?
The pros and cons on the immigration subject are many, especially for the States where only 0.16 % of the population consists of Native Americans1 leaving the remaining 99.84 % to be immigrants or descendants of those who immigrated earlier. America has a long history of immigration dating all the way back to the Vikings and the Italian born explorer Christopher Columbus in 1492.
