Argumentative Essay On Immigration Reform

Any United States citizen can work, usually starting at the age of 16, but not in my case. Even though I am not a citizen, I can legally live in the U.S. and attend school, except the fact that I cannot work. It doesn’t make sense does it? Currently, any person with an H-4 visa cannot work while physically living in the United States. Having an H-4 visa means one cannot earn any income or possess a social security number.

There are many arguments for and against open immigration. Many of the argument for free movement are theoretical in nature but are still very useful for further policy considerations (Kukathas 219). Matthias Risse and Chandran Kukathas both give arguments for open immigration and why they should be considered, even if currently it is politically unattainable. They both have a similar conclusion but have slightly different means of getting there. We will first look at both of their arguments individually and then compare them.

In times such as now, immigration policy is a topic of controversial and emotional discussion. The key in having educational, progressive, and prosperous conversations is understanding the theoretical foundations behind the argument that a person stands for or believes in. Having factual evidence to support ideas on concepts such as: the opportunities that immigrants bring to a country, what the international rules actually are that govern the entry and  exit of people from one country to another, and the causes, trends, and consequences of international immigration. Finding reason and support for these claims can take the discussion behind immigration policy from one of heated and emotional argument to one of educational and beneficial conversation.

To. Mrs. Hopkins, Recently, I have read your controversial and callous article ‘If Britain is prepared to provide an all-inclusive resort service for asylum seekers, the least they can do is wear a bloody wristband.’ From a student with a family member who has experienced being a refugee, I know that the issues regarding asylum seekers and refugees are critical in the modern society. Therefore, I feel that your article, mostly oversimplified and prejudiced, could mislead lots of readers to have undesirable views on those people who are in need.

Immigration is a widely debated topic, especially considering there has been an overwhelming amount of attempts for immigrants to cross borders into the United States. The biggest question I have is why don’t they go through the proper route of trying to cross over legally and apply for citizenship? The United States government tried to propose new immigration reform that would make it easier for immigrants to get green cards in order to come to the United States to work, but this new law does not successfully grant all immigrants citizenship, in most instances. What would be the incentive to apply for full citizenship for immigrants applying for a green card through this reformed law, if passed? Illegal immigrants who are here, avoid taxes and have access to hospitals as well as schools without green card or citizenship.

Illegal Immigration is a huge debate in America. What should America do with the illegal immigrants? Many believe that America should deport the illegal immigrants back to their homeland. They believe that America should do this because they are taking American jobs, costing American taxpayers, and smuggling illegal drugs into America.

For decades, immigration has been a problem for the United States. Due to the people traveling from their native lands to the United States seeking a better life for themselves, and more primarily for the family that has come with them. Immigration is the action of settling into a country of which one is not native. Despite the many legal immigrants not every immigrant enters the country with legal documents and most of these illegal immigrants are poor and uneducated. Some undocumented immigrants commit crimes such as drug smuggling, or terrorism.

A topic that is always discussed in America is with the increasing number of immigrants will there be an increase of terrorist attacks? Multiple people say yes, because of the previous terrorist attacks by Muslim.

Immigration For many years now the people of America have noticed the impact of immigration. People of all colors have come to America; from communities not too far to the very opposite of the world. The people from these places, however, also bring change to our nation. They bring with them different cultures and disgusting ways of life as they try to pave their life here, and that is something that must be addressed.

The United States of America, being a country founded by immigrants, is known all over the world as the land of great opportunities. People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family. Over the years, the population of immigrants has grown immensely, resulting in the currently controversial issue of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are the people who have overstayed the time granted on their US, visa or those who have broken the federal law by crossing the border illegally. Matt O’Brien stated in his article “The government thinks that 10.8 million illegal immigrants lived in the country in January 2009, down from a peak of nearly 12 million in 2007.”(Para, 2) While some argue that illegal immigrants burden the United States of America and its economy, others believe that they have become essential and are an important part of the US, economy.

America: All Are Welcome. It is generally understood when you move to a new country that you should assimilate to the culture, the way of life and be more like the native population; this simply is not true, if you gave up your culture just because you moved to a new country no one would be different from anyone else, things such as tradition, religions, and originality would cease to exist as the world slowly became uniformed with only one right way of life. Similarly to how it is in current day America, the vast majority of people still maintain their roots making everyone unique, and much like a “tossed salad” everyone had a place and should continue to hold onto the what was taught throughout the generations if only to keep it from slipping away.

Emigration, the act of such persons leaving their country and heading to a country of foreigners for different reasons. Immigration has never been an easy choice, but recently factors have made it easier. Immigrants, in my point of view, can be divided into two kinds, the first are people leaving their countries looking for a source of money and escaping the struggle of poverty, and the other kind are people looking for a peaceful life with no bombs damaging their hometowns every day, escaping wars and political persecutions looking for the freedom they have always been missing. I see that the immigration crisis nowadays is in its worst, as we can see, according to the UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency), there are 65.6 million displaced people worldwide,

“Imagine being forced to flee your country in order to escape to safety. If you were lucky you had time to pack a bag. If not, you simply dropped everything and ran.” This is how the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, otherwise known as UNHCR, describes the battles that every refugee has to go through, and it stresses the importance of dealing with this time-sensitive issue in the best possible manner. According to the UNHCR, a refugee can be defined as “someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence.”
