Unfortunately‚ this is extremely risky and many do not take this chance in fear of being deported or being sent to immigration detention centers‚ where there you are stripped of your human rights and treated inhumanely. Life as an undocumented immigrant is very hard. They cannot legally work in the US‚ therefore not being able to

Irish immigrants were a really really big part of the culture change. The largest wave of immigrants came from Ireland because of the famine in their land. Everyone ate potatoes over there‚ so when the crop got a fungus and they died‚ it was a huge problem for the Irish. A whole lot of people ended up dying from the lack of food.

The United States is a nation of immigrants. Everyone in the country has heard this statement most people worldwide can tell you the same.

Chinese Immigration in Canada Nowadays‚ Chinese immigrants are all over the world‚ and they work across various industries to serve the country and the public.

A great majority of the American population are immigrants. However‚ they should not be so quick to impose a ban. The American economy would fall. This would also have an impact on families with a work permit and green card. America is the one that issued them after investigation.
