...Why I believe immigrants come to America? I believe they come to America to have a better life, and get money to provide for their families. Immigrants come to America to seek freedom and different opportunities they cannot get in their homeland. Why should immigrants have to be deported back to their homeland because they have no rights in America which is supposed to be the “Land of the Free”. These people we call “immigrants” are the same people who would do anything to stay in the country.They do work us Americans don't like to take part in and wouldn't lift a finger doing. Immigrants actually want to work in U.S, they wants something good for themselves. This is the dream, they come to pursue a dream they wouldn't be able to get back home. They see America as their way to happiness and a better life. So why not let immigrants try to pursue a dream and find happiness instead of judging them and wanting to kick them out if the country. If they aren't doing any harm, why want them leave? Freedom is a big part of why immigrants come to America. Immigrants are people just as Americans, they aren't nothing less. They fight just like Americans fight to survive in the country. What would us Americans do if they were an immigrant living in poverty raising themselves? Yes some Americans do raise themselves but not all live in poverty.(Weeden, L. Darnell) No one should be judged by where they come from, who they are, or how they look. Us people use the quote “ Don't judge a book...

This conflict of can be described as the American people vs the American people, the American people vs the American government, and the Immigrants vs the American government these are all the parties involved in this conflict.

...Get Prison” we basically read and learn more about the high crime rate in America, and what excuses we make for these high crime rates. We can see that the crime rates have fluctuated over time since the 1900’s, but even at some of the times of the lowest crime rates in America, it was still higher that even the higher crime rates in most other Western industrial societies. When making comparisons with the US and European countries, we learn that there is a much higher rate of lethal violence, such as suicide in the US. Even though the rates of violent crime in America has declined over recent years, author’s believe that this has more to do with changes in America’s economic status rather than law’s and government policies. Some of the changes in the crime rates could have to do with the “imprisonment binge”, but the number of incarcerated criminals does not reduce the number of criminals we have in America, it just reduces the number of criminals we have roaming free in America. We know that crime is not completely avoidable, and the government has been making changes to help reduce the risks and the likeliness of lethal and dangerous crimes happening. Some of the precautions that have been made include: effective gun control, decriminalization if illicit drugs, amelioration of poverty, the prevention of child abuse or neglect, and they also are taking precautions for at-risk adolescents. In America, there are many “excuses” for the high crime rates that we have. Some of the...

...Essay We all see America as a big country where dreams can become reality, - The American Dream -, and in my opinion it is true. America has become a big destination for immigrants from Mexico, Spain, Africa etc. and in my opinion it is great because for a nation as big as America, it is important to have immigrants from different society to build an even greater society. The society as we know as America. Of course many people think it would be better to have one common culture, nationality or religion because then they might have the same habits, norms and the same sense in terms of policy, but I think they are wrong. I think they are wrong because in a country as big as America you will need many immigrants from different places for the influence of the culture and the people. The influence of immigrants is very good, because it is forming a strong society with a lot of different cultures, which means they get affected by each other in a positive way. The melting pot, also known as “the salad bowl”, is a synonym for a country build with a lot of different immigrants from different places, to build a strong society. Well we can definitely say that America is the melting pot, because of all the immigrants that have built such a strong and big country as America. It is not a surprise that there are many Immigrants in America, because America is a country where people, think that their dreams can become true and they want to secure their kids future. Most of the immigrants...

Schulze English 1301 4/30/15 Why immigrants are important Did you know people from all over the world like to come to the biggest place of opportunity due to high income and a great history of success? President John F. Kennedy once called it “A nation of immigrants” (John F. Kennedy). In the search for greater freedom and economic opportunities. Their energy and optimism has fuel the country’s growth. The question is, why are they important? Many have created new businesses and provided labor for existing ones. Expand the minds of millions of people. Improved the country’s success. They change the way this world rotates on its axis. Created many jobs for people to work and improve the nation’s wealth.

...Americans think that illegal immigrants just come to America to take jobs from us, but really these illegal immigrants do more good than bad for our country. Why do illegal immigrants try to come to America in the first place? America has always been known as the land of the free, the land of opportunity. Illegal immigrants see this as a way to live a happier and a more successful life. According to Iowa senator, Dave Edwards, “The immigration system in this country is broken. It is estimated there are currently more than 12 million persons residing in the US illegally” (Edwards). All of these immigrants come to America to have a better life for their families and themselves. They work hard so that they can have a better future. So yes, the system may be broken but it could be a good thing that it is like this, not only for the immigrants but for Americans, as well. Illegal immigrants are normally paid more in America than they would be paid in Mexico, although they are at the bottom, and the lowest paid in this country. “Because of their low wages, they are forced to live in low-rent housing under sub-standard living conditions and because of their immigration status, they feel they do not have the freedom to report these conditions” (Edwards). They live in fear of deportation every day so they stay quiet about how they are treated while they are here. They are simply doing the jobs that an American would not want anyways, so why throw them out? Once again they are doing GOOD...

...Ryan Oba Illegal Immigration Why does the U.S continue to ban every illegal immigrant in America? How would you feel being a child shoved into a vehicle hidden and smuggled into the U.S not knowing where you're going or what's going to happen next? Once you arrive into the U.S you're surrounded by officers pushing and shoving you into buses taking you to these installations that seem to be built and ran like concentration camps. In today's society, the way that Immigration is handled in the U.S is a serious issue and us as people need to put a stop to this unfair treatment. If the U.S doesn't provide education, many immigrants become violent, causing more crime. They may use illegal drugs, causing crime rates to rise and harming themselves in the process; in the long run will harm the immigrants, because they will face a difficult life in terms of conscience and knowing what they did and the possibility of being deported. If the U.S provides education for immigrants, they can get better jobs to fuel the economy. Many are willing to work for less money than any American citizen will ever think of because jobs in their country pay far less than most low-paying jobs. I'm not saying they have to be paid minimum wage but putting them on the payroll and paying taxes will increase the economy. Denying health care to people is denying them what they need to survive and to be healthy. This country is letting people die, letting human beings be unhealthy...

The Russian immigrant and many other immigrants who migrate over to America believe that it is the land of opportunity, where dreams become reality. She came to America to pursue the so called American dream. Her dream was to be able to do the things she was not able to do in Russia, and to take advantage of opportunities that her family members were not offered. According to the Narrator, “America was a land of living hope, woven dreams, aflame with longing...

...component of being an American. When people come to the United States it is usually for freedom or to have a better life, and America provides that.

In this quote, the lamp symbolizes the opportunities that America provides for immigrants who come searching for a better life.

...English 1A/ Conklin MW 11:00 – 1:00 5/1/08 Illegal Immigration Understanding We read: French President Nicolas Sarkozy says, “America did not say, ‘Come, and everything will be given to you.’” Instead, he said, "Come, and the only limits to what you will be able to achieve will be those of your own courage, your boldness, and your talent” (qtd. in “Speech,” pars.12). Sarkozy is correct about the American ideal, it has driven millions of people here for the past 200 years. because this ideal is what drives millions of people since the first settlers came in 1492 to America. For some immigrants, this drive for a better life is so strong that they risk and sacrifice their lives in their attempts to attain it. For example, some immigrants are willing to come to America illegally. Norbert Santana, a writer for The Orange County Register, writes “the U.S. Bureau of Labor, the Pew Hispanic Center and the Center for Immigration Studies generally agree there are about 12 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S.” (pars. 18). There is no accurate method of counting how many illegal immigrants actually live in America; however, there are enough here to cause conflicts. Some illegal immigrants come to America for a few years to make money, and then they take their fortunes back home, while others come to live and to raise their families. All of these immigrants are unwelcome by many Americans because they perceive the immigrants illegal entry into the United States (U.S.) as a...

Bernie Sanders is also the longest serving member of congress in United States history. Although Sanders associates himself as an independent most of the world has him classified as a liberal due to his fundamental beliefs and views. This is one of the reasons why most conservatives and those in the middle have discomfort with him. Sanders appeals to the modern middle-wage family. There are numerous reasons why I support him but I shall group them in two categories the first one being that his ideas are the way to...

...Some people wonder.. Why is America the land of the free? Why is it the home of the brave? And the bad thing is, not all Americans even know how to answers those questions. But there is a belief that there is an answer to both, and these are those answers. Why is America known commonly as “the land of the free”? Because America gives you many freedoms, such as the right to vote, or the right to have free speech, and even the right to speak what language, and worship what religion we want to worship. Even those who have committed crimes have rights, such as the right to remain silent, and the right to an attorney. In America,...

Immigration has grown over the last century, and the United States has been one of the leading countries to accept immigrants from all over the world.

...also immigrants have a big effect on the economy. Whether the effect of illegal immigrants is positive or negative they still contribute a lot to the U.S. and also reflect on how immigrants take the jobs that Americans probably won’t take like working on the fields with the extensive heat, or be worried about going outside because they are scared that maybe they can get arrested and be deported. I think its time to put an end to this because families are being harmed with the current immigration situation. The government has to pass an immigration reform soon because this is a major problem in the whole country. Because immigrants are in America, we should be treated equally as U.S. citizens, because we are hardworking people. Illegal Immigrants came here to start a better life. Illegal Immigrants are not a threat to American society. America was founded by Immigrants. Even though some citizens don’t want us here, we are their support with the economy; we have invested billions of dollars in U.S. soil. Mexican Immigrants should be allowed to immigrate illegally and stay in the U.S. without being separated from their families or be afraid in their daily life routine. The border shouldn’t be militarized because we are not criminals.
