...Deporting Immigrants There are around 11 million or more illegal immigrants in the United States today. Mother Jones Writes, “Immigrants are worried at this time because they might be deported” (Jones 3) back to Mexico for not having documents to be here in America. Illegal immigrants should not be deported because they are valuable for the economy; by having immigrants working in the United States it allows the working industry to be more productive. Allowing immigrants to work high-skill and low-skill jobs it can lead to increased economic growth and aid society. A lot of immigrants live in America to get a better job or any job that can be available. Because immigrants are seldom hired for corporate jobs and are paid minimum wage most...

...Large cities often are the gateway into a country for large numbers of immigrants. As a result, large cities are confronted with unique hurdles involving immigrant integration, which are different than the issues of immigrants faced at a federal level. The need for cooperation between federal, state, and local government becomes more pressing at the municipal rung of the governmental ladder, so to speak. Big cities are faced with swift variations in the size of their population, in no small part due to the shepherding of immigrants to cities by federal policies. The cultures and lifestyles of these immigrants run the gamut in terms of their diversity. The assimilation of immigrants into the city’s society is not an organic development. Immigrants...

...debate in the recent past. Many people argued that the immigrants are usually looking for better jobs or better economic opportunities for themselves and their families. However, researches have shown there is other factors more compelling than the economic determinants (Ryo 574).according to the study most of those people who try to enter America illegally have a friend or a family member who has also tried to cross into United States illegally. Additionally, the research found that Mexicans believe that they have a right to be in the United States without seeking permission from anybody (Ryo 577). Illegal immigration to the United States started very long time ago; research shows that there are more than twelve million illegal immigrants in the country today. Positive and negative impacts on different parts of economy...

...Should Undocumented immigrants should get a “path to citizenship?” Today the United States is facing an everyday issue, Immigration. Immigration is when someone else from another country comes to live in another country, Permanently. Some people are fighting to legalize the immigrants from all over the world, some are not and do not support the legalization of immigrants. There are over 11 million legal immigrants in our country. However, I think that immigrants should get a “path to citizenship” because Immigrants can help improve the economy, It can cost too much to deport, and that it keeps people and family from fearing. One important reason that Undocumented immigrants should get a citizenship is that it cost way too much to deport immigrants...

...Undocumented immigrants are not only grown adults, they are also young children, and babies as well. Just about 1.8 million of the United States undocumented immigrant’s populations are eighteenth years or younger. Just about 65,000 undocumented students have even graduated from American high schools each year (Adams, Boyne 47-62). It is a very complicated situation for not only the government, but for these undocumented students. The students who graduate from American high schools on average continue their studies in college or after graduation begin working and contributing to society (Adams, Boyne 47-62) By allowing undocumented students to go through school and college is very beneficial to society. For many kids who were born...

...Many new immigrants came to Canada to live the “Canadian’s dream”-- the good education, free health care, fresh air and most importantly new lifestyle and bright future for the younger generation. Not until the settle down and realize that the dream they imagine is slightly different from the reality. Their neighbor speaks the same homeland language as them, even store and shopper mall’s sign and menu are in same homeland language. I remember once my dad said that “ If you lived in the Toronto area, there is no need for you to learn English because you can do everything just by speaking Chinese. Everyone know Chinese here.” Toronto has one of the most concentrated Asian population in Canada. It is also one of the most popular places for new Asian immigrant to live in because of the large population of Asian. With all these benefits for newcomers, it's hard for them to understand the disadvantage of living in an area with many other immigrants like them....

...Undocumented immigrants are humiliated, threatened, bullied, and some people are racist to them, but many of them are afraid to do something about it. Since some of them are here illegally, they are afraid that if they press charges against someone they will be deported back to their original country. That’s why many employers take advantage of them. “It is well known that recently arrived immigrants have lower earnings, on average, than native-born workers with similar educational levels,” and some employers even pay them less than the minimum wage. A lot of people take advantage of undocumented immigrants just like in 1970’s and 1980’s when people took advantage of African Americans. Color people who used to work in farms, had to work outside...

...My first time hearing about undocumented immigrants was when I was at Tartan Senior High. It was my sophomore year when Donald Trump was elected. The halls were crazy and students were crying uncontrollably. There was this girl, I remember her like it was yesterday. Not only was she being bullied, but there was racism involved, too. Kids told her to go back to her country which did not make her feel welcome. Tartan was crazy at this time. An undocumented immigrant is somebody who is not in our system. It is hard for them in the country because they can’t get any legal papers, like a driver’s license. It’s hard for undocumented workers to get jobs. The jobs they have to get are blue collar jobs. They can’t work legally without drawing attention...

...the United States. The pro immigration side argues that we all got here through immigration. Therefore we should not restrict immigration in any way. Another issue the pro side has is that immigrations is good in the sense that it creates diversity. This is a great thing because it helps people see that the “American” way is not the only way to do things. The next issue the pro side would claim is cheap labor. California and Texas specifically benefit from this more than any other state. Additionally, the pro side presents the case of giving the illegal alien a better opportunity then they have in their home country. Lastly, they argue that the benefits, such as taxes, outweigh the costs that an immigrant will incur. The idea is that an immigrant buys our products and lives in our country, which contributes to our G.D.P. On the other side of the argument, the con-immigration side argues that the immigrants steal jobs from the U.S. residents. Since immigrants can be paid cheaper wages, an employer would rather pay an immigrant than a resident. The next issue the con side has it that immigrants bring problems to America, such as cultural differences and language barriers. Not only do they bring problems, but according the con side, they cause problems as well. They argue that because there are more immigrants trying to get in the country than there are border patrol agents, they cannot protect the country like they are supposed to. Another issue the con side has is that the money...

...Immigration Pros and Cons The following article explains the immigration pros and cons in detail. Read on to know whether immigration is advantages for the host country and the immigrant or not... Immigration, which can be defined as the moving away of people, from one's own country to another country, in search of better standards of living or for education or to escape any ill circumstances in one's own country, has been a world phenomenon since ages. Today, with globalization and the entire world becoming a kind of single economy, where people are free to move about to work or do business in any other country, immigration is pretty common and a large phenomenon. Although, there are both advantages and disadvantages of immigration, still they do not deter people from moving away from their own native land to live in some other country. Given below are the commonly experienced and observed immigration pros and cons. Pros and Cons of Immigration Pros: Better Standard of Living One of the most important advantages of immigration, on an individual level, is that people are able to earn a lot more than in their native country and thus, have a better standard of living. Personal and Professional Growth Another advantage of immigration is that when people from different cultures, with their own set of values and ways of working, come in contact, they tend to imbibe some of the useful and good values and working methods of the others and thus, grow as individuals and professionals...

...Pros of Immigration Irineo JR Nunez BCOMM/275 02/19/2015 Wesley Page Pros of Immigration “With over 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally (as of 2012), the issue of illegal immigration continues to divide Americans,” (What Are the Solutions to Illegal Immigration in America?, 2014). I feel this statement should be corrected and instead of the word “divide” it should be “unite”. Reason being is for decades and centuries immigrants around the world have traveled to different countries for the same common goal. To better ourselves and with hard work we will persue to our personal growth. Here in United States, people say that with illegal immigration in our states will have the benift to increase our US economy through additional tax revenue, the increase of money circulation, and low-cost labor. Many Americans despite immigration because immigrants come to United States soil with motivation and replace those who wont perform specific job duties. Illegal immigration can benefit us in numerous ways and according to the website apecsec.org, it states, “Illegal migrants who own real estate properties will be obliged to pay taxes and this will benefit the country where they go. Real estate agents including the brokers will get commission coming from the real estate transactions made between them and the immigrants. Financial & auto insurance loans will make the country’s income even higher,” (Illegal Immigration Pros and Cons, 2014). Also, giving Immigrants...

...Pros and Cons of U.S. Citizenship Citizenship is not for everyone, especially immigrants. Immigrants come to the U.S., each with a different reason explaining why they must immigrate to America. But if they never planned to stay in America for a long period of time, then they shouldn’t be able to be given the privilege to become an American citizen. This kind of situation is the deciding factor of whether or not they should need citizenship. Therefore, if the person has come from poor demographics and has little government help, citizenship could be of use, but then their citizenship for their native country would have to be revoked. There are many pros and cons to becoming a U.S. citizens, so if the immigrants think that the pros outweigh...

...paper will cover the DREAM Act and the pros and cons of immigration. The DREAM Act is simply the development, relief, and education for alien minors and is sponsored by the Democratic Representative Howard L. Berman of California. There are a few provisions within the Act, such as, “The requirement of an alien to apply for cancellation of removal and conditional permanent resident status within one year after earning high school diploma or general education development certificate in the United States or after the effective date of related final regulations” (U.S. House 2011). Another provision being, if required, an immigrant applying for conditional permanent resident status to register under the Military Selective Service Act and undergo a medical examination (U.S. House 2011). According to Harrison, “Each year millions of immigrants enter the United States, some legally and others illegally, to take advantage of the quality of life in the United States.” (Harrison 2011,517). A negative impact that immigration has on the United States is overcrowding. Excessive use of our resources in the United States by immigrants limits the amount of resources available for US citizens. Another negative impact is the spread of diseases from other countries by immigrants entering the U.S. (Oak, 2011). On the contrary, a positive impact of immigration would be the idea of cultural exchange, the exchange of cultural values (Oak, 2011). Allowing immigrants into the U.S. also helps bring in new...

...The Mexican American group discussed the pros and cons of ratifying the Mexican Dream Act, which the issues of young people who graduated from our high schools and grew up in the United States but whose future is in jeopardy by current immigration laws. Their presentations raised several questions for me, ones especially involving these immigrant parents. I was wondering that when these children apply would it jeopardize the safety of their parents. For instance, is the address that they put down on paper confidential or will be used to track the location of their parents? If this and other similar examples were the case, then that would deter many in fear of losing their family. Their parents may also be unwilling to help their children in fear of jeopardizing their hidden status. Although I have been interested in researching the gaps in higher education of Latinos, in particular Mexican-Americans versus Cubans, this was the first time hearing of the DREAM Act. Even though my research paper involves second-generation immigrant children, I feel that the dream act would force some education reforms in the United States. Otherwise, as they said in the presentation, the US will fall behind other countries due to a significant part our population not attending higher levels of education...

...people desiring their crops less than others. Even though there are many cons, the pros of subsidizing farmers far outweigh the cons. The U.S. should continue to subsidize farmers because without them, farmers must wait weeks in order to make money off of their work. Crops such as corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco, etc. do not grow over night. Thus this results in many farmers waiting weeks, sometimes months just to get paid for what they produce. Agriculture is a very important backbone to our society because it produces our food, materials to trade with, as well as materials a vast majority of the US population use today, such as wheat, tobacco, and...
