The Benefits Of Immigration
Today in America the topic of immigration; the act of moving from one country to another country for permanent residence, comes with a negative connotation. Generally this is due to the fact that the word immigration is associated with issues like terrorism, crime, overpopulation and sanctuary cities. And it is because of issues like these that many Americans question the benefits of immigration. If this is true the question we should be asking ourselves is does immigration contribute to a better America? The answer; although clouded by several fears and, is and should always be a bold faced yes.

    In conclusion, I strongly feel that Americans could greatly benefit from adopting some of the immigrant customs discussed in The Immigrant Advantage. Kolker herself could be used as a role model or example for how a family could benefit from some of these traditions, from the money saving habits of the Money Club to the ease of dinner preparation using the Com Thang. I wholeheartedly plan on attempting to make use of available family members whenever it comes time to introducing my child to the world. The knowledge and love that an older family member would be capable of introducing into our home could easily prove invaluable. I also hope that by the time that my children are entering into their college years that I would be able to provide…

    The benefits of immigration is that it allows us to fill our workforce with people willing to work, which in turn increases production. When immigrants come into this country they normally come to work and live the american dream. This desire, results in a work ethic that in some occasions cannot be matched by US citizens, so jobs that US citizens are unwilling to do are done by immigrants willing to work. This increase in employment generates more revenue for the Government through taxes. The more people in the US working the more money the Gov. will have. Immigration also diversifies our society, unlike any other country. The more diverse our country is the more we will learn about other cultures and judge others less. The cost of immigration is that it can undermine American workers because, immigrants are used to working for lower wages in other countries so when they come to the US they take jobs from americans because they work for less. This leaves many Americans unemployed and unhappy. Also, many immigrants that come into this country do not have much money, so they need Government aid. The increase in immigrants is a huge burden on public programs. Another cost, is that some immigrants come into the US to avoid prosecution from their country. Immigrants like this is a danger to our society and raises our crime rates. I agree with most of the immigration policies such as Arizona’s law that allows police officers to check anyone’s citizenship and report anyone who is illegally in this country. I agree with this policy because anyone in this country illegal is breaking the law and should be treated like a criminal. Im okay with allowing immigrants into this country, I do not want to close the boarders, however there is a right way to do it. A policy I disagree with is denying healthcare to an illegal immigrant. Although they are in the country illegally I do believe every human has the right to healthcare and should be assisted regardless of citizenship or willingness…

    Every year thousands of people choose to leave their home country and come to the United States to start a new life. They dream of freedom and endless possibilities that they would never have in their home countries. Unfortunately, there are those who chose to disregard the law and come to this country illegally. It is estimated that there are 20 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. today. Illegal immigration affects our country in many ways. The cost of illegal immigration effects many aspects of our economy. One way in which our economy is affected is when an illegal immigrant is injured or sick and must go to the hospital. They often do not have the money to pay the bill, and the hospitals…

    Illegal immigration has always been a subject of much controversy and debate, in part, due to the way that it affects our economy, whether in a negative or positive way, as a whole. Oftentimes arguments from both parties arise, from “they’re draining our resources”, “they’re taking jobs away from lawful citizens” to “they help build up our economy” chances are both parties are right. However, more than delving into the subject of which side is right or wrong, I will try to bring to the forefront the advantages and benefits illegal immigration has to our economy, while also acknowledging the challenges and hurdles they face, as they slowly reshape our economy.…

    First benefit to my idea is that it will stop immigrants from coming into our country. Once they see how brutal we are to their kind it will show them how serious they are. Once we get the immigrants to stop coming in then we worry about the ones we have in the country right now. This will be the first step to creating a superior Nation. Also, other countries will fear us and now we mean business and are not just a push over. The immigrants that are already here will want to go back to their country were it was better in the first place and they really did not need to leave.…

    Hi jeremy great report; I concur immigration is a hot political topic. Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza explains that, “through executive orders and prosecutorial discretion … Most of the people that we apprehend end up getting released into the country, he said while expressing his frustration” (West, 2016). Purposely Congress is doing the opposite of what many citizens believe they are doing about immigrants entering the country illegally. This suggests that Congress is protecting illegal immigrants, and as such are in support immigration; if Congress is going to continue to allow this to happen more needs to be done to protect their rights to prevent people from taking advantage. While some vote in favor of immigration there are others that…

    Donald Trump has recently made it a big point that immigration is a tremendous issue in the United States' economy. According to The Washington Post, “Immigration to the United States is the international movement of individuals who are not natives or do not possess citizenship in order to settle, reside, study or to take-up employment in the United States.” Immigration has been in the United States ever since the country was established. There are almost just as many advantages to immigration as there are disadvantages. With all things considered, the immigration we currently have today is not perfect and by any means not very well produced. First, there is a long history behind immigration in the United States. Second, there are also many…

    America is known famously throughout the world with the nickname "The melting pot." The reason behind this is that America is extremely diverse and has many different people. Immigrants give America the chance to know the culture of many countries. They bring in their culture, religion, economic benefits, and ideology to America. I believe that the United States should allow legal immigrants from all over the world because they bring many benefits to it. Immigrants are a positive influence on United States of America.…

    America is known as the land of the free, the land of opportunity. Not all countries have the same opportunity that America has to offer. Because of this, people from foreign countries are sneaking into the U.S in search of jobs, education, and a better lifestyle in general. These people are called illegal immigrants or aliens.…
