Immigration Arguments

Immigration has been a ongoing controversy topic in the United States since the early 1800s. Immigration laws have been debated, changed, vetoed, and looked over. Nearly two centuries later our country is still overlooking the essential reasoning for immigration, which is to help migrants, not benefit from them. While reading the U.S Immigration policy passage I was able to identify both arguments. Most people who opposed wanted laws against migration simply because they weren't willing to accept something different in their unsettled country. Others only wanted to use newcomers for labor, and to push their company further. Never once did I read about anyone actually wanting to help immigrants. Every rule that has been previously put into place
wasn't for the better good of migrants, but for the better good of America. Which shows me how self center our country can actually be.
