Immigration

What makes America today is Immigration. There would be no America if it wasn't for immigration .Everyone in the country is an immigrant or is directly descended from one. Even the oldest inhabitants, the Native Americans, emigrated from Asia. The rest of us come from all different places in the world. Countries such as England, Mexico, China, Germany, and many others have all contributed to populate the United States. Immigration started with our nation’s beginning,and it has continued for every year since.
Each wave of immigrant brings new ideas and cultures as the people integrate with other Americans. Immigration is a necessity, however if it is uncontrolled; it can a have bad effects on the country's economy and population. Therefore, immigration is only good if it is limited. I believe the policy on immigration the country currently holds is somewhat controlled.
In our country, we can say that its out of hand. Immigrants are still coming, but they don't know that life is tough here too. If they think they can be working anywhere, no they are wrong. The only place that i can think about where immigrants would be working is in the fields or working for themselves. Still today immigrants are fighting for the immigration reform to pass so they will be able to work, and not have to hide from the police or anything that will harm them.
When immigration is not controlled it will slaughter the country’s economy. Because many of the immigrants that come into the country, they come with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Unchecked immigration would be the end to the average middle class family of today. Working for next to nothing, immigrants would flood the work force; forcing the middle class workers out of work and into poverty. We would see our wonderful nation slip into the realm of the third world country.

Immigration should not be stopped completely. We have many things to thank immigrants for.Allowing some immigration into our country is morally right. Many people flock to America’s shore escaping harsh oppression or persecution from cruel dictators and governments. America has become a safe haven for many of these poor people who are not given a chance to live in their home countries.
