“Today, over 1 million immigrants enter our country legally per year, while the illegal population grows by about 500,000 per year” (William Gheen). Some Americans think it is a huge problem, while others believe they are people that deserve a chance at a better life. Either way, illegal immigration has been an ongoing problem in The United States since the late 1800’s. Originally, there were no laws on immigration until the U.S. began to grow rapidly, creating a problem. The government then passed laws prohibiting certain groups of people from entering the states, trying to reduce the number of people pouring into America.…
Immigrants in AMERICA being mistreated Oh America, god bless this nation, a great nation where everyone claims it is their land but forgot the fact that the land was actually belongs to the Native American tribes. The Native Americans that were murdered because of the white Europeans that wanted this land, again those white Europeans that claimed this land was theirs. The real question is was it really theirs? The pilgrims got sent here around the 1600s for their religious beliefs.…
Illegal Immigrant is a foreigner who has entered in a country unlawfully without the country 's authorization and undocumented Immigrant is a growing problem in America. Most Americans believe that both illegal and legal immigrant come to American to steal jobs away from the modern American citizen and to use social service to get welfare, food stamp, and unemployment, but this believe are all false. However, Illegal immigrants have it far worse than legal immigrants because most of them live in fear of being discovered by the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so they have to live a life of invisibility. They face several risks at the workplace, such as if they get injuries they can’t go to the hospital cause their undocumented, so there for they can’t afford insurance; they work at a risky job that modern American would not work in and yet the…
A policy expresses basic sets of rules that are proposed by a governing body or individuals which dictate the course of action for a particular activity. Today the United States of America is faced with the biggest question ever asked in history. What are the rights and limitations of immigrants for coming to the United States every year? In the year 2013 it was recorded that an astounding 11.6 million immigrants, especially from Mexico, illegally cross into American soil (Bush and Bolick). In that year, it was documented that approximately 41.3 million immigrants came in the United States.…
The nation of America is known as a place of hopes and dreams. People from all around the world to fulfill the long lived American dream and eventually settle down and start a family. Immigrants coming to America dates hundreds of years back. It’s not easy gaining an opportunity to live in America.

Some American citizens believe that all immigrants are poor, tired, and free-load off of hard working people. But, they are not, and who wouldn’t be tired and poor if they were in the same positions as those people, in fact, not all illegal immigrants are poor either! Many illegals come America to work for better opportunities than those given in their home countries; this does not render them as poor. There has to be an alternative to this illegal immigration reformation, the stereotypes that all illegal immigrants think coming to the United States is a ‘free ride’. Mexican folks who cross over the border illegally, are not jumping it just for fun, they cannot feed their families in Mexico, and it costs a lot of money and processing to even legally start a new life across the border.…

With this topic that I have chose, it requires my full opinion so I write out my opinion as of not meant to offend anyone. As I was reading the topic with all the debates from debaters, I was thinking of the conversation I had with my husband regarding the issue of illegal immigration.…
Cheech Marin said that “At the end of the day, it not only doesn't make logical sense to deny licenses to undocumented immigrants, it doesn't make financial sense.” Illegal immigrants have been a big issue for a long time in the United States. This issue is more present in the states of California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and, New Jersey, which are known for being the top states with the most illegal immigrants. (McClellan).…
“Our nation is built upon a history of immigration, dating back to our first pioneers, the Pilgrims. For more than three centuries, we have welcomed generations of immigrants to our melting pot of hyphenated America: British-Americans; Italian-Americans; Irish-Americans; Jewish-Americans; Mexican-Americans; Chinese-Americans; Indian-Americans.” - Ami Bera The united states should work on a immigration reform. That way the percentage of deportations will drop.…
However, it has a high security zone controlled by policemen and trying to cross it supposes risking your life. The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act increased Border Patrol funding and the fencing area has had a developed security system since its creation. Another immigration-related law is The U.S.A Patriot Act, which took effect in 2001 , and focused on paperwork requirements , specially in the development of visas for visitors and in the improvement of biometric technology. (Border 1) Surprisingly enough, the safety in the Mexican-American border has an elevated cost. ‘’Total immigration enforcement spending increased fivefold between 1985 and 2002 from $1 billion to almost $5 billion’’ (Border 1).…

Many U.S. citizens believe that immigration is actually a negative influence on society. Some people see immigration as harmful to the American economy because they believe that these immigrants are taking away jobs from natives. This idea can be easily dismissed, as it is proven that even with the population at a far higher percentage (12 percent) of foreign-born Americans than in recent decades, the economy has still experienced a higher overall gross domestic product (GDP), higher GDP per person, higher productivity per person, and higher employment rates among Americans. Even if immigration is not the cause for this economic boom, it certainly should not be to blame for false perceptions of economic downfall. As far as social contributions, many traditional American citizens carry too much pride to admit that foreigners could have a positive influence on the society of the United States.…
