Abrajano, M. (2016, July 28). Will Immigration Spark a White Backlash in America? Retrieved
March 19, 2018, from https://www.brookings.edu/research/will-immigration-spark-a- white-backlash-in-america/ Throughout this article the author, Marisa Abrajano, explains how immigration can potentially have an impact on American politics and how immigration can also change racial demographics. In my proposal I briefly mentioned how there have many historical figures who were immigrants who have impacted America as we know it, and by including information from this article, it could help support the idea that there could be more immigrants who can influence America. By explaining how allowing immigration to be fully legal for undocumented individuals,

This source brings great value to my paper because I talk about how immigration should be legal, and by including this information it will help give background information on why immigration laws were implemented in the first place. Though the source can be seen as non-credible because there is no author stated, it gains credibility being directly from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website. Having a ".gov" domain, means it has been administered by the GSA "General Service Administration" which gains credibility because all the information from that website is the most accurate. Having the most accurate information, will help better my paper with offering accurate history on how immigration laws were …show more content…
This website will help my paper because it gives possible outcomes of what could happen if immigration were to stop, and by getting the insights from professional economists, it looks negative. It was stated that if all immigrants were to be removed from the U.S., there would be a "tremendous negative impact on the economy," said Daniel Costa, the director of immigration law and policy research at the Economic Policy Institute." By including this, it will help support my idea on how immigration is actually a good thing for the U.S., because without immigrants migrating over, the current economy as we know it could be completely different in a negative way. Though the website may not come off as credible from its ".com" domain, it further gains credibility through having research included from various professional economist which makes the information from the website more accurate and valuable as opposed to an article with a reporters personal analysis of a certain
Everyday the future in America looks brighter for the issues dealing with race and identity. Brave souls are not letting racism, class discrimination, or sexism hold them back anymore. Furthermore, the fight for a balanced society that pushes for equality is on the horizon. As we close on an era, based on purely the skin of the person, we need to analyze the impacts of the Ethnicity paradigm and Class paradigm on politics of the 20th century. Race and Ethnicity are used interchangeable in everyday conversation, however; they are not the same.
In the article, How the Supreme Court Immigration Decision Hurts All of Us by Roberto G. Gonzales, an assistant professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education (2016), the genre is an article, argues that America should get an immigration reform to bring immigrants and families out to the public and to show connections and economic contributions to make America stronger. Our country (America) is made of many cultures the only country that’s made that way. Our country everyone has rights and freedom, we are all equal but some more equal than others because that’s just how society is. Gonzales supports his argument by giving examples of beneficiaries that had a positive impact in their lives, able to get good paying jobs, credit cards, driver
The United States is a nation of immigrants. In both colossal and small ways, immigrants have contributed to American culture, to its economic and physical growth, political power, and reputation of freedom and opportunity to the world. However, debates about illegal immigration have become more heated and contentious as some have argued that the 14th amendment should only grant citizenship to those children who have at least one legal immigrant parent. I, on the other hand, do not believe that the 14th amendment be interpreted in such a way that only the children of legal immigrants be granted citizenship due to multiple reasons.
Collection 1 Performance Task: Argumentative Essay Like specks of sand on a beach, people are constantly migrating to various areas. Immigration has impacted America in a predominantly negative way. As demonstrated in Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford, Mother Tongue by Amy Tan, and The General History of Virginia by John Smith, immigration has induced numerous conflicts, forced people to face adversity from those they met, and caused several people to undergo a number of hardships. There were a variety of hardships being faced, most notably the physical ones.
The 1965 Immigration Act, which resulted largely from the civil rights movement and Democratic Congress of the 1960s, played a vital role in the change in demographics of the United States (“History of U.S. Immigration Laws,” 2008). Replacing the existing system of assigning specific countries a limit on the number of people that could immigrate to the United States each year, the 1965 Immigration Act established quotas for each hemisphere: 170,000 immigrants a year for the Eastern Hemisphere and 120,000 a year for the Western Hemisphere (Hatton, 2015). Although the limit was expanded to 700,000 immigrants a year in 1990 and has been adjusted many times in the years since (“History of U.S. Immigration Laws,” 2008), the 1965 Immigration Act has been the most significant of all of the immigration reform legislation because it allowed more immigrants from individual countries to come to the U.S., a
One of the biggest controversies in the United States today is immigration. This is a huge topic in the country today because there is numerous people on both sides of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform that present great evidence about it. This reform is impacting millions of immigrants that are working and living in the Unites States today, but it also affects the people that are citizens of the United States. In this paper I am going to present arguments from both sides of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform, then come to a conclusion on which side I choose to place my opinion. There are a lot of worthy things that this reform is going to accomplish for immigrants in the United States.
According to a study released last year by the Pew Hispanic Center, as of 2008, 11.9 million illegal immigrants lived in the United States, more than triple the 3.5 million who lived in the country in 1990 (Izumi). Immigration throughout the years has become a major issue in the U.S because of too many immigrants entering the country year after year. The U.S has come to a point whether they should deport the immigrants back to their country. Believe it or not, these immigrants are a big contribution to the U.S. If it wasn’t for them, the U.S economy wouldn’t be where it stands now.

This research explores general sentiment toward immigrant communities, opinions on the impact that immigrants have on American culture and public support for specific policy approaches to immigration reform. The report also supports the immigration policy among religious groups and the political implications of the issue for and within both the Democratic and Republican parties. According to the research they conclude: More than 63% of Americans agree that the immigration system should let the immigrants who are currently living in the U.S. illegally become citizens, provided they meet certain requirements. While less than 14% think they should be permitted to become permanent legal residents but not citizens, and 21% that they should be identified
“The American story is a story of immigration. I would be the last person who would say immigrants are not important to America.” — Phil Graham, circa 1960. This quote may be from the mid-20th century, but it keeps its significance with the everlasting controversy on immigration and immigration laws. However, this is not the only time that the United States has experienced immigration controversies.
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.
Immigration in America: Past Versus Present Immigration is a big topic often talked about in America leading up to the upcoming Presidential election. Professor Daniel Malpica, from the department of Chicano and Latino Studies, spoke this past Wednesday at our noon lecture did a good job of presenting the history of immigration into the United States, but he also presented the information in a matter that scared off middle of the road voters rather than sway them towards voting to more easily legalize immigrants. Every single person living in the United States is in some way related to an immigrant that more likely came to America through Ellis Island more than 100 years ago. At that time it was mostly European immigrants and it took only three hours to be processed through Ellis Island. They came to America to find a better life, better jobs and like in Ireland; they came to escape the potato famine.
Our policies on illegal immigration can diminish the problem by enforcing immigration laws, revoking birthright autonomy, and demanding proof of citizenship when applying for social services. Immigration has become a major problem in this country and needs to be restricted. Our economic implications would be beneficial towards the U.S. economy. Without the crutch of illegal immigrants holding us back, our U.S. economy can prosper more than ever. Due to the current economic slowdown, labor demands had been reduced and has forced many out of work.
Frey, The number of legal, and illegal immigrants have risen over the years, which has stirred more debate about immigration. Some think it’ll help the economy, and the others think that it’s affecting the economy, but in reality, immigration has been beneficial to a degree, but there are negative effects as well. Reading this paper what are your thoughts about immigration? Do you as the reader think that's it’s helping the economy, or do you think that it’s greatly affecting the
In 2014, roughly 500,000 people immigrated, legally, into the U.S. Immigration used to be an essential feature of the United States; a component of who they are. The United States of America used to pride itself on its ability to assimilate people of any race and culture into it’s “melting pot” ideal. However, some experts are starting to worry that the intake of immigrants is becoming too
