The massive number of European immigrants that entered into America’s east coast from the late 1800’s and on forever influenced the growth and development of the country. Fleeing crop failure, famine, rising taxes, and land/job shortages, many immigrants journeyed to the United States because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. With hope for a brighter future, nearly 27 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1880 and 1920. The majority of the immigrants entered through Ellis Island, leading it to become the gateway to America and become recognized as a national symbol. Many of the immigrants, not knowing the way America worked, didn’t stray too far from the East Coast and moved into areas filled with people of similar languages, traditions, and beliefs.
In conclusion Sanders perspective about moving is that migrants have a good opportunities for making a good home for themselves. Also just because you migrant to a different place do not expect for everything to be all right because there can be different issues happening in that region. Moving can transform individuals such as changing values and trying to assimilate to society. All in all, this is Sanders perspective about
In addition, these laws exist to protect the country from illegal immigrants who might pose a threat to the nation and its citizens. In conclusion, it is essential for all players to follow the law and enforce the immigration laws. In the contemporary society where the country has faced threats on its security within its borders, enforcing the immigration laws is crucial since some of the threats emanate from immigrants. On the other hand, employers should complement the government’s effort in enforcing the immigration laws. In addition, justice should apply equally to all regardless of their nationality and duration they have been in the
There are four main parts to the bill: strengthening our border, making legal immigration easier and faster, earning citizenship and preventing employers from exploiting illegal immigrants. President Obama wants to use the Border Patrol to remove only the malevolent immigrants, and to use new technology and innovations. He proposes making the immigration process easier by approving more visas to business owners and students. Further, the bill calls for earned citizenship for illegal immigrants through background checks, learning English and paying taxes. Finally, President Obama wants to prevent the exploitation of illegal immigrants by giving employers a dependable way to verify citizenship status (“Immigration Reform”).
I would support the Dream Act, At least it gives the minors a chance to make it right and follow the law and get on the right path of following legalization here in the U.S. If we don’t give them a path to citizenship we will be dealing with a bigger issue of employers still hiring illegal immigrants and we will have more immigrants not paying taxes and will exploit the system. They come to the U.S. for a better life than their country could provide. So why are we making it impossible for their children to go in
In addition, he states that some immigrants create a fiscal burden on local governments by using more city resources than they contribute to in revenue. Although this is true, most immigrants contribute very well to the economy by starting businesses, therefore creating more jobs and expanding the business sector of the economy. This in turn creates a larger middle class population, with the addition of many new working class immigrants. The image found at the end of this paper titled “Illegal Immigration” is also an example of the mindset mentioned previously. The cartoon depicts two men, possibly political leaders, lobbyists, or employees of the government,
These arguments may seem to be valid to many people; however, they are almost overwhelmingly false. President George W. Bush’s Council of Economic advisors has confirmed that 90% of the US-born population benefits from the presence of immigrants (Gold 409). Immigrants contribute to America’s economy, retirement system, and highly demanded workforce skills. Immigrants contribute to the American economy by increasing the share of jobs overall. They take jobs in labor-limited regions, and
Employment Law: Can Illegal Alien Workers have the Right to Enforce State Law Regarding Worker Safety or other Employment laws? As of 2004, the nation’s undocumented immigrant population increased to 10.3 million since 2000 in the United States. California and Texas account for 61 percent of the undocumented population where Arizona and North Carolina are two of the fastest growing states that often hire undocumented workers (Lopez, 2005). Hiring illegal alien workers has had an inherent tension between state workers’ compensation law and federal immigration law. Among other things, employment law provides the opportunity for wage replacement of disability due to workplace injury and if possible, promotes return-to-work in the worker’s former job (Annarino & Hayden, 2006).
Un-harmful Immigration Immigrants were a fundamental part of this nation, as the United States arose as a country it brought several immigrants with it. Immigrants shaped the United States, these same immigrants fought for the equal rights said the United States to have. But why is it that today laws want to be and have been input to our nation which violate human rights such as the Arizona SB Bill 1070? Do immigrants in reality harm the U.S. as many believe? These immigrants in fact do not harm the United States unless they are criminals.
It is estimated that every day as many as ten thousand illegal immigrants cross the border into the United States from Mexico. On both sides of this controversial debate, people agree the amount of undocumented workers here in the United States is a problem and something should be done. The only options left are to either follow the law or alter it. President Barrack Obama states, “In the end, our broken immigration system affects more than a single community; it affects our entire country. And as we continue to strengthen our economy and jump-start job creation, we need to do so with an immigration system that works, not the broken system we have now,” which is agreed by both sides of this debate, something needs to be done, but what?
