Being born on American soil is a privilege that allows for a blind eye to be turned towards controversial and uncomfortable issues that don't directly affect our lives. This, however, does not change the reality of migrant experiences and the control of international migration.…

If you were born in a poor country and you could barely survive, what would you do? If you heard that there are opportunities for a better life in more advanced countries, would you try your luck there in an attempt to provide a better life for your family? Although the reasons that brought all the immigrants to the Unites States may vary, a typical case is that in which an individual is born in a family with limited resources and he comes to the U.S. with hopes of having a better life. Those who have empathy would want to help those going through a difficult situation by letting them into our country. However, simply acting based on emotions is not sufficient; reasoning and logic are crucial when governing a nation. After an examination of…
“I felt I was finally given a decent chance to be somebody in this country,” said Jamie Rangel when Obama announced DACA. There are many children that do not have a say in where they are born or where they are brought. Many children are born in another country, but are raised in the U.S. illegally. Children who were brought here illegally should not be punished for something they could not change. DACA gives these children a chance for a better life and more opportunities with them not having to leave.…
Immigration is the process of foreigners settling into another country permanently for the purpose of employment, education, or any other purpose. Immigration has been an issue to United States for decades. The question whether Immigration in US is harmful to the country or not has been debated since ages and will be a subject of debate in future too. We have seen that being immigrant in US has helped many of the immigrants whereas on the other side it has been a leading cause of problems like depression, suicide etc. Being immigrant in US for someone means a lot of difficulties in terms of adapting to the foreign soil. An individual has to start a new life from ground zero regardless of his/her position in the previous countries. There is an only 5% chance that any individual can continue the career from where he/she dropped from the country of origin which brings a lot of depression among the immigrants. For most people, being amongst friends and relatives means a lot and gives happiness and relief to their lives. In this case nothing can be a substitute of the affection of relationships. Being immigrants, they have to stay thousands of miles apart and have to suffer this separation each and every day which leads to loneliness. This can also be a cause of depression for more than 70% immigrants according to a survey report. Big difference in the skills and education also sets the immigrants back from finding the right job at the start. Even though an immigrant has knowledge and skills from their previous homeland but due to the requirement of the US companies that the education and experience be from the US based companies, immigrants are finding harder to match the job with their skills. A lot of foreigners who move to US had first-class jobs in high positions before they were immigrants. When they reach US, it is now a different ball game. Some have hard times to find their match and thus, have to…
there are a multitude of issues surrounding unauthorized immigrants who stay in the United States. Often times, the media likes to glorify the negative aspects of an issue to promote their own agenda and mindset. In actuality, these people aren’t hurting our economy in any way. These individuals actually account for a significant boost in the economy across the board in many ways. Unauthorized Immigrants have actually been shown to boost the wages for middle class families, do not benefit from federal welfare programs but still pay taxes, help create diversity and often are the source of the labor workforce. Illegal immigration is only negative because it has the word “illegal” attached to it. If we make it easier for these people to gain…
There is a big controversy on whether or not children born outside the United States, and brought here illegally by their parents, should have rights or not. Kids of these illegal immigrants should have at least some of the rights U.S. citizens have. The children did not choose to come here, they cannot leave anytime they want to, they may end up homeless if they cannot work as they get older, and they definitely should not be punished for something their parents did.…
The period mentioned in the video was known as the Age of Mass Migration and known as one of the largest immigration periods. Millions of immigrants arrived in the United States during this time and became legal upon entry unlike today. Other than farming, the job market has not really changed much for immigrants. Unless they are legal or have a good skillset, if you are illegal today you must be content with whatever job you can find which usually doesn’t pay the best or is hard to find. Certain immigrants today are starting to face the same type of hatred and nativism that their ancestors did. Certain Muslim related countries have been barred entry and POTUS wants to build a wall to keep people from immigrating through Mexico.…
The controversy over immigration policy has become one of the most pressing issues in the United States. There are many misconceptions when it comes to immigration but the United States actually benefits from immigration by allowing foreigners to live study and work here. There are immigrants who have earned their citizenship in this in this country and are making the best of it and then there are those who come to this country just to cause harm. We as a people need to understand the difference between the two and to realize that there are some benefits to immigration.…
With immigration on the rise, have we stopped to think who were letting into our country? While helping our fellow human beings is nice, we need to stop and think what ideas and customs their bringing into our country. While not all immigrants are intolerant and hateful, some can bring in ideas of sexism, homophobia, misogyny, and intolerance. For this reason is why we should set up a tolerance test to all immigrants who come into our country to test and see if they can fit and adhere to our beliefs and customs for the better of our people, and anyone who fails would to be put into tolerance training to be properly accustomed to the beliefs of our country and if they were to not comply then they would not be able to enter our country.…
The Democratic Party has fiercely advocated for the enactment of the DREAM Act. Republicans however have strongly opposed it and have left little hope for any reform for illegal immigrants. However not passing the DREAM Act and stalling on reform for illegal immigrants is doing an injustice to these immigrants and most importantly to American citizens. Today many US citizens suffer from a depleting economy and anything that can help revive it should and must be done. I see the DREAM Act as a great opportunity to aid and provide relief to the economy.…
Throughout this world, birthright citizenship’s legality has been a major topic of discussion among many constituents. In the United States, the debate is ever present, as it is very popular for foreigners come across the border to have their children, therefore making them immediate American citizens. Some view this as illegal and want this practice to be banned, but legalizing this is the humane thing to do in this situation. In many ways, racism can be solved with the legalization of birthright, as it allows for many nationalities and people of different backgrounds to be united as one. It allows for children that have not committed a crime to live peacefully in a country they are loyal to, help the workforce, and improve the country’s population. Birthright citizenship…
America is a nation that was built on immigration. Therefore, encouraging rather than convicting illegal immigrants would be a positive factor in the contribution to the United States.…
