In closing although many citizens would argue that to turn away potential immigrants to the United States is morally goes against the foundations from which the United States was built. Accepting immigrants with minimal education and trade skills would burden this country economically welfare,
Fredrick.O. Adeyemi A land of Promises and Immigrants “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus is a poem about the Statue of Liberty and how it welcomes new immigrants from all over the world to the United States. The Statue represents their stability, and hope of what they are going to get when they move to the New World. Many of these immigrants come to the United States because of political and religious persecution and shortage of jobs. They think that the United States will be a good place to escape these elements and for a chance to start over.
This also caused the immigrants to stay with their own social group and culture which then caused gangs to form and this lead to gang warfare, this was apparent in big cities such as New York. Due to this it reinforced what Native Americans already believed about immigrants this is a negative impact. As well as this Native Americans believed that immigrants were bringing in dangerous ideologies such as communism and due to this they was endangering the capitalist society because of this it created political tension this put immigrants at risk of having their right to vote taken away from them this is a highly negative impact as it goes against the constitution. Due to the large amount of immigrants it started to put a strain on resources which caused the cost of living to increase. The immigrants worked for less as it was still better than their wage beforehand the immigrants also did the jobs that the Americans didn’t want to do.
Krikorian presents a good argument and has done his homework. The author seems to respect patriotism and feels we have a greater obligation to our citizens than foreigners. Krikorian speaks of a country we once were when our grandparents came to America but not that same country now. He argues our immigration laws need to be shaped to improve the United States along with the government enforcing more stringent immigration laws. This would shrink the illegal population and life for American workers would improve.
Economics play a big role in the immigration debate. Opposition claims that immigrants, both legal and illegal, hurt our economy, while immigration's advocates claim that immigrants serve as a boost to our economy (Borjas230-231; Topolincki 225-227; Kinsley 215). Immigration's opposition often points out that immigrants are more likely to be on welfare or other social-assistance program (Borjas 233), but they fail to mention that high use of theses programs is almost exclusive to refugees from war-torn or Communists nations (Topolincki 226). In fact, few immigrants come to the US to get on welfare. Non-refugee immigrants are less likely than native-born Americans to go on welfare and risk deportation if they do so in their first five years in America (226).
This is not right, or rational that people would risk so much in order to come to the United States, to work a job that most American citizens will not work. Yet we are hateful and mean, protesting, these people rights to make a living and support their families, if the work wasn’t here they would not come. Do you think the Native Americans like what happened to them, when the first generation immigrated to American, many Native Americans are still suffering the effect of the colonization of America. Published in the Huffington post a video “Native American Man Tells Anti-Illegal Immigration Protesters Who 'The Real Illegal Immigrants Are’ it goes on to say that a Native American man tells protesters “We didn’t invite none of you here. We’re the only Native Americans here.”(Ramos Z 2013) Are the Americans that don’t support open borders scared, because they don’t want what happened to the Native Americans,
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.
Immigration, damaging or helpful? Immigration has been a problem in the United States since before the country was established. Many citizens and politicians claim that illegal immigration is a hindrance to the country’s economy because immigrants take American jobs and that they don’t pay taxes. They also agree that our government spends too much money in keeping them out. People on the other side of this argument claim that immigrants help by taking unwanted jobs with very little pay, and in doing that they are helping keep the prices of domestic goods down across the country.
The American Dream When it comes to immigration is is important to keep a national perspective: focusing just on the impact immigration leaves on our American society. The solution to immigration will have to benefit the American citizens; the benefit immigrants receive by coming here is less important to the decision of granting them citizenship. The issue is that immigration adds to the population living in poverty or using welfare programs, even if immigrants are clearly better off in this country than they would have been back home and are no worse than natives with the same education. To solve the poverty issue We have to make citizenship for the abundant amount of immigrants in the United States easier to achieve to improve the overall
A massive variety of people take the opportunity to come to America and start a life here for themselves and/or their families. Undeniably the environment here is much better for raising a family, and the threats are fewer. However, this does not alter the fact that the American social structure makes it extremely difficult for immigrants to succeed. This “dream land” the United States is known for being is simply failing, and a lie for the majority of foreign citizens. Pat Mora’s poem entitled Immigrants is a very accurate representation of this point.
