Recommended: Effects of immigration on the economy

At a time when our country if cutting back on the budget and social services and we can hardly afford to keep the countries doors open to nearly one million newcomers every year. We need to provide the nesecary resources to take control of our boarders, to be able to reduce the number of immigrants we are accepting into the US. The outflow of immigrants from the US is alot smaller than the inflow of immagrants to the US. From 1995 to 1999, an average of 165,000 immigrants a year went back home on their own after residing here for at least a year. However the same number of immagrants got some kind of legal status. About 50,000 were deported, and 25,000 died. Immigrants are substantially more likely to have to rely on US welfare than native-born

  • Immigration: Important to the Success of America

    910 Words  | 2 Pages

    The United States of America has the largest foreign-born population in the world. With nearly thirteen percent of the total population being foreign-born, one may find it hard to imagine an immigrant-free country (U.S. Bureau of the Census). Immigration has been an integral part of the United States’ overall success and the country’s economy since it was established and without it, would have never been founded at all. Although there are some negative issues associated with immigration and many native-born Americans believe to be more of a problem than a solution, overall it actually has a positive effect. Immigrants in America, among other things, fill jobs where native-born Americans may not want to work or cannot work, they contribute to Social Services and Medicaid through taxes and they help provide the backbone of America, especially by working jobs that natives may have not even considered.

  • Immigration in America Today

    3584 Words  | 8 Pages

    Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, legal and illegal, from around the world, come to the United States. These immigrants come because they want a chance at a better life; others are refugees, escaping persecution and civil wars in their home country. Many people believe the United States is the best place to go. There is more freedom, protection, and benefits, which seems like a good deal to immigrants. But the large number of immigration is affecting the current citizens of the United States. Taxpayers are forced to pay for the welfare and schooling for many of these immigrants, some who are illegal aliens. Some citizens believe that immigration can be hazardous to the environment. Others blame crime, poverty, and overpopulation on immigration. About sixty-eight million immigrants have been added to the United States since 1970, and it is estimated that 130 million people will be added over the next fifty years. The government has tried somewhat to restrict immigration but the laws are still too lenient. Nearly every other advanced country in the world is moving quickly towards stabilized population or has already achieved it. The United States is moving towards it very slowly. This country would have to reduce immigration down to 255,000 a year to do this (Beck 1). If nothing is done to stabilize the immigration to this country, what will become of population in the next decade? The population will continue to grow even faster - not due to births, but to massive immigration to this country. Immigration can become a serious problem to this country if the government does not produce stricter laws.

    Without a doubt, the European continent has been through a lot over the last few decades. From World War 2, to the iron grip of Soviet Russia on half of the continent, many problems have arisen and been dealt with. Unfortunately, Europe has had a rough few years when it comes to the somewhat newer issue of immigration and immigrant groups. While some countries have managed immigration better than others, nations such as France and Italy have had their fair share of problems and continue to pass legislation that is flawed and draws criticism from other countries. The issue has gotten better in recent years, and various European countries have made great progress towards their immigration policies. In addition, various ethnic groups have been the target of government profiling and discrimination. Most notably the Romani people, who have faced discrimination for hundreds of years and continue to do so at the hands of various Eastern and Western European governments. The many setbacks and gains towards immigration are more clearly visible when looked at on a case-by-case basis, such as the individual policies of Italy, France, and the European Union as a whole.

    The Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) serves as a gatekeeper for the United States’s borders by determining who may enter, how long they may stay and when they must leave. They provide an annual worldwide limit of 675,000 permanent immigrants, with certain exceptions for close family member (AIC 2016). However, when we take a look at the total number of illegal aliens and immigrants the numbers are far more impacting and put the american workforce in danger for its natural born citizens. The number of illegal immigrants in the United States totaled 11.3 million in 2014, outnumbering the 9.6 million Americans who were unemployed in the same year, according to da from Pew Research Center and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

    Immigration is one of the most trending topics in the presidential campaign, generating furious debate over the situations that America faces.

A total of 300,000 jobs were created in the December of 2015. However, there is a constant argument about the income distribution, with the amount of jobs that are supposedly being lost to immigrants. At the top of the social classes, wages are increasing. In the middle and bottom strata, wages are stagnate. However, there is more complexity in order to understand how immigrants are truly impacting our economy and our lives.

  • Analysis Of The Immigrants

    1110 Words  | 3 Pages

    Immigrants have been a vital part of the U.S. ever since the day the country was founded. But perspectives on immigrants have varied through time and one of the most popular ways of presenting them was through political cartoons. From the 1860s-1910s one of the biggest issues the U.S. was facing was how to properly regulate the flow of immigrants into the country. We also see this tying of Americanness and whiteness, where even certain Europeans weren’t considered full American even though they were white. White Americans wanted more white seeming migrants which would help further establish the American identity as white. The political cartoons show the shifting perspective placed on immigrants, from a universal fear of them, to a more divided

  • The Problem with Immigration

    1720 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are many, many issues when it comes to immigration and migration. Nothing is just black and white, and there is always at least two sides to a story, usually more than that. I’m going to tell my side, or at least the side that I see the most of living in Arizona, a border state to Mexico. Being that the issue of immigration is so broad, I’ve narrowed it down to the most important question to me, living in the southwest, concerning Mexican/American border issues. Is it the immigrants themselves that are the problem or is it the laws governing immigration? This is a big debate amongst politicians, activists, students, citizens, non-citizens, and everyone in between. I think that the problem lies on both sides, but the bigger fault belongs to the American laws and regulations.

One side of the equation will tell you "people are merely trying to get a better life" among other things along those lines, and the other side would tell you "allowing just anyone into the country opens up risk of terroism and carrying of disease and such." As big of an issue as it is, it hasn't recieved much attention until recent years because "it's expensive" and "not of immediate essence" says presidents and politicians alike.
