Pros and Cons of Immigration
The Pros and Cons of Immigration
America is made up of almost completely immigrants who came here from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East when America was found. All of our ancestors came here at one time or another and started their family in the new world. But there are some downsides to having newcomers come to the United States, though without them none of us would even be here today. As our population grows and immigrants continue to pile in, there are insufficient jobs that new immigrants are taking from hard working Americans.
Immigrants bring with them plenty of culture that gives our country the melting pot culture we have. When immigrants first started coming to America, they all had completely different cultures, styles, foods, and points of views. Eventually they all blurred together into the American society we have now. We are not Italian, Irish, Chinese, or Nigerian, but instead all of the above.
Unfortunately, due to the recession, jobs are not easy to find. Immigrants from all over are coming into our country and taking jobs from unemployed Americans. Many people see this as unfair to Americans. Meanwhile, some people are more sympathetic and understand that these people are looking to create a better life for themselves and their families because they are unhappy with the living conditions they had at their home country.
Many people find it frustrating when they walk into their favorite Dunkin Donuts coffee house, but the cashier working at the register does not speak very good English and they both have a lot of trouble communicating and understanding each other. The communication barrier is a major problem among new immigrants. Older immigrants in the 1800s were much more willing to learn English upon their arrival to America. It can become very frustrating when you are trying to speak to an immigrant that is unwilling to learn English and close the language barrier.
In conclusion, immigrants bring with them a lot of
