They also come in pursue of giving a better educational opportunities to their young children. Also immigrants are more likely to create jobs and pay taxes when they live in the United States which helps the economy grow stronger. Although there are many negative conceptions about immigrants these individuals should have the opportunity to migrate to the United States for a better life. Many of the immigrants that migrate were left with no other option but to enter illegally through the border because in there countries they suffered from poverty, crime, the lack of education and opportunities. In the article “Rethinking El Salvador’s transnational families” by Leisy J. Abrego writes about a young boy named Daniel and his struggles living in El Salvador while his father is in the United States looking for work.
When foreigners immigrate to the USA, it’s usually solely to make a better life for their family. Lastly, many complain that immigrants come over to the USA and take “our” jobs, but that is not true at all. Immigrants almost all the time take jobs that Americans don not want. Colonists immigrated to the United States voluntarily; they helped mold this country to be what it is today. Colonists put laws and rules into play to create the law and political system we have today.
America also enabled natives who needed jobs to gain wealth in order to support their families. In the essay “Five Myths about Immigration” by David Cole, Cole supports the immigration to America. He explains how there are myths that are portrayed by the immigrants, and argues all of them. The myths that Cole explains in his essay are: America is being overrun by immigrants, immigrants take jobs from U.S. citizens, immigrants are a drain on society’s resources, aliens refuse to assimilate and are depriving us of our cultural and political unity, and noncitizen immigrants are not entitled to constitutional rights. Cole uses evidence such as statistics and court cases to support his thoughts and describe how he feels about immigrants.
Some might say that immigration is a huge problem in the US, and others might say that it is a positive thing and that immigrants are needed. Barack Obama himself picks out a few good reasons that make immigration a positive thing. “It is this constant flow of immigration that helps to make America what it is” Obama says this, with the following facts that; Google Inc. would not be American if it was not for the immigrant who founded it, the scientific breakthroughs by Albert Einstein who also immigrated into America would not either, and then
A solution to this ever growing problem would to be for the United States to begin charging the countries in which illegal immigrants are coming to the United States from. This is a good solution because it might serve as an incentive for the country to improve the living conditions of their own country. Another reason is that the money coming from charging the countries could be used to help pay the national debt to help boost the economy and less illegal immigrants would ensure more jobs for legal
The article “Paga ser Bilingue” by Domenico Maceri discusses why workers should be reward for being bilingual. Growing immigrant population in the United States that is not fluent in English requires providing more services in different languages. Many government agencies and American companies are looking to hire bilingual employees. Instead of hiring expensive professional interpreters, the companies prefer save money by providing stipends for multilingual workers. However, some people disagree with providing services in different languages because emigrants will never learn English.
In fact the opposite is the truth; there is evidence that immigration helps the economy in boosting the amount of jobs and that wages are altered in a positive way for everybody who works legally. Illegal immigrants come into the US from all over the world, and they all have one thing in common, they all come for a better life. The truth is, many immigrants do achieve a better life. They’re not millionaires or anything of the sort, but a lot of people live a decent regular life in the states and the pet peeve to the majority of Americans is that immigrants do not contribute to the economy and they only hurt the economy by not paying taxes and sending the money to their families in need in other countries. “An increase in immigrants would lower the wage of native workers, and raise the wage of non-recent immigrants and capital, but these effects are
Professor Bailey Written Composition October 24, 2012 Illegal Immigrants Help More than they Hurt Going back in history you probably can recall that America was founded by illegal immigrants. Without them who know if we would even be. So why are we so hard on the illegal immigrants now? They made a change once who’s to say they can’t and won’t do it again but things can only happen by opportunity and availability. We have the availability we just need to give them the opportunity.
Letting these immigrants stay could possibly help our country, it’s like a binding covenant because as long as they are here and we allow them to Mexico can help provide for them and help pay for what they do over here even as much as if we were to go over there. Combining the countries, we could help with our military support, money, resources they have but we don’t or the other way around. As everyone thinks having illegal immigrants can be the worst for our country when actually it does have pros to the cons of having illegal immigration. Some of those are Amnesty, Deportation, Civilian Border Patrols, Terrorist Threat, Economic Burden, Driver’s Licenses, and Border
Israel Ramos American Lit. Block 3 10-01-2009 Should Legal Immigration Be Stopped Immigrants are those who come from one country to another for purposes of seeking employment or improved their financial position. However due to the large amount of increasing immigrants especially illegal immigrants some people believe that legal immigrants should be stopped.

When you are a legal immigrant, you are entitled to most of the same benefits as citizens; you have a social security card and social security and unemployment benefits, and all without any law being broken.
