D’Souza acknowledges that while there are many materialistic gains to be made in the American society the desire for immigration and the commonly held views of America has a more prominent reason, the American dream is a dream based on freedom. It is not necessarily a literal freedom from oppression but a freedom of choice, a freedom to create one’s own destiny. D’Souza’s most powerful and agreeable argument is that the Americans simply have a better standard of living in comparison to most countries. In many countries throughout the world living conditions cannot be changed. No amount of hard work or experience can change something that you were born into.
Immigrants will only continue to impact the United States positively. Not one part of the United States was made without involving immigrants. Americans can not survive without the help of immigrants because immigrants have created so many inventions that are the basic needs of people. Immigrants continually bring new cultural ideas that just add to the American culture and they are the foundation of which America was born of. United States benefits from immigration in so many ways that without them American loses so much.

Advertisements not only made businesses prosper but gave people actual helpful information, such as the idea of keeping a much better personal hygiene being better for your health. Alternating electrical current increased energy efficiency tenfold compared to direct current since people could actually turn off their electricity.

Although there was a blotch on the great economic image of the twenties, the bigger smudge was on the cultural rifts that
Immigration Family, friends, the comforts of home and familiar surroundings all became a distant memory for people when they immigrated to the United States. Immigration is essential to the American economy because it contributes to the overall growth of the nation's wealth, it successfully exhibits the economic capitalist model that our nation has come to possess and, above all, it promotes success for the immigrants' and the natives' descendents alike. To begin, immigration in its totality increases the total output of the economy. By welcoming foreigners from various countries with open arms, the United States is initiating the correct action in promoting its economic growth. When these new people enter the daily workings of American society, they contribute positively to both employment and consumption.
immigration laws in america I agree with Richard raynor on allowing illegal immigrants to stay America. Immigrants work for cheap labor and help the economy grow. Not all immigrants are bad and some leave in a really bad environment. I think it would be a blessing for them to come to America for a better opportunity. Immigrants are the reason America is so powerful today.
It is what has shaped this country to the best in the world, but is also the same thing that will one day destroy it. The United States is in a constant state of change. United States Census predicts that the Mexican population will be the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States by the year 2050 and may possibly be the majority. With the ease of our border crossings and the acceptance of allowing illegal aliens to stay in this country, this mind set of allowing people to disrespect our laws will indeed support this growth. We are going down the road of socialism, and I personally feel it is partially due to our diversity in the country.

Americans hate to lose, which is why we are still the dominating country, Tony Blair stated this in the second paragraph of his article. To contradict this statement, I was presented with an article negatively facing America, it said, “China and Japan are rapidly advancing and will soon be so far ahead of the U.S. that we will not be able to catch up”. These statements are both argumentative, but the fact is, you can’t beat America.
It said that “Vargas is incredibly brave to risk everything he has accomplished in this country in order tell the truth and to shine yet another but still much needed light on the pressing need for comprehensive immigration reform in this country” (O’Connor 388-389). This quote mean that because he is an immigrant doesn’t mean he stop reaching his American dream striving to what he want to become that’s why without people like him our country will be poorer. Esther Cepeda believes that Jose Vargas is in wrong doing for being an undocumented. It say in her essay “it’s almost impossible to not be deeply disturbed by self-promotion disguised as sacrifice, the blatant criminal activity and distasteful comparison to the experiences of African American in their struggle for equality” (Cepeda 391). This quote is trying to say is that there are Americans with the struggle that José Vargas has that didn’t get the same equality that he has.
Savannah A As quoted by Lyndon B. Johnson, “We believe, that is, you and I, that education is not an expense. We believe it is an investment”. This investment in a liberal education is what drives our nation, price-tag aside, into a successful future. Although a liberal education is an imperative investment, it is also a financial struggle for most people. In the text, “College at Risk” by Andrew Delbanco, a man best described as someone who believes that the ideal of a liberal education is essential, but also believes that it is “threatened by a world undergoing radical social, technological, and economic changes” (220).
Immigration Allowance The foundation of America was built by immigrants. Without immigrants we wouldn’t have the cultures and traditions we utilize today to establish our American identity. Immigrants, legal or illegal, have contributed positively to the economy by taking low end jobs, establishing their own businesses and engendering jobs for others, and they’ve helped develop cutting-edge technologies. Immigrants outdo low-skilled Americans for jobs, because according to Economic Edge immigrants are more motivated and productive.
