Step 1 (FOCUS): I’ll have to make my thesis more concise; I will do this by being less specific about my proposed compromise. Instead, I will try to just introduce the main idea of it and then expand more in the paragraph dedicated to the compromise. Finally, I will try to describe more what the benefit will be for the society as a whole instead of just describing how it benefits immigrants. (WC: 69)…
In conclusion, I strongly feel that Americans could greatly benefit from adopting some of the immigrant customs discussed in The Immigrant Advantage. Kolker herself could be used as a role model or example for how a family could benefit from some of these traditions, from the money saving habits of the Money Club to the ease of dinner preparation using the Com Thang. I wholeheartedly plan on attempting to make use of available family members whenever it comes time to introducing my child to the world. The knowledge and love that an older family member would be capable of introducing into our home could easily prove invaluable. I also hope that by the time that my children are entering into their college years that I would be able to provide…
Immigration in the twentieth century was very important because there were some many people coming over from different countries. This was defined as the Progressive Era and African American were not the only ones facing discrimination but those coming from other countries. (pg. 189) America was the land was there were promises of better life for everywhere across the globe. Immigrants by the end of century made up more than thirty percent of population in the major states in America at the time. (pg.190). The new immigrants of the nineteenth hundreds which was the eastern and southern Europeans. There were the Italians, Greeks, Russian, Polish Jews who came to America for coal mines, steel mills, and labor contracts.…
ur country is currently facing a time of uncertainty and forced to make decisions about some very controversial issues. Among these issues is the question of immigrants and their role in the United States. As congressmen, the people of your state voted for you to represent their voices in the national legislature. However, I encourage you to remember all the people who are underrepresented in our government and consider their opinions when forming policies for the United States. It is important to consider the role immigrants had in the formation of our country. The very basis our country was formed on the notion of the ‘American Dream’ where anyone can achieve anything. However, the currently policies being discussed deter the people who have…
“Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists” (Franklin D. Roosevelt).…
The United States is considered “the land of opportunity” for everyone. America welcomes the people that other countries don’t want, or at least we used to. The Statue of Liberty even says “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”-The New Colossus. America once expected immigrants to come in and rise up the ranks, become wealthy and to live the “American Dream”. Immigrants thought this too, and that’s why they took many, many great risks to get here. But, now, Donald Trump thinks immigrants are taking away our jobs and polluting our ‘Merican blood. He is putting a ban on any immigration, especially from Mexico…
Immigrants have been crossing the border and entering the United States illegally from different places for many years. Some were forced and others decided to move to get a better opportunity of…
In the United States we have more relaxed laws when it comes to visiting the U.S, but there aren’t strict laws about leaving the U.S. after visiting. Some people come to the U.S. “visiting” so that they can live here and work towards getting citizenship. That is why we should strengthen our border protection and security, but make it easier to become a citizen legally. That way we can regulate who is coming to the U.S. and know when they leave.…
The latte reason why immigrants should be allowed in the U.S is because when the U.S.A was growing many people from different countries around the world came and settled here. When they came, they brought their food, culture, and religion with them. These immigrants spread their culture from generation to generation until these different cultures made the U.S what it is today, a melting pot of cultures. As the spreading of cultures increased it became a part of us, people from different cultures trying new food that are totally from another culture, and that is what makes America special. I think that we should thank immigrants for what they brought and how they spread their culture, instead of kicking them out of the U.S. If the U.S ban the…
Immigration has been a hot button topic among party lines and the United States society recently with our latest presidential race. Since 9/11, the conservative party has opposed refugee sanctuary and people fleeing from Mexico regarding the war on drugs, difficulties with the cartel, as well as the Immigration Reform Act of 1965. However, Liberals in the United States have a very different view on the matter. With our new president, Donald J. Trump, the Liberal population has taken this matter much more seriously.…
What would our country be without immigration? Some would argue that it would be a lot better off without so many outsiders coming into this country. I would argue that the country, as we know it, wouldn’t exist. Our country was founded on immigrants who came for greater opportunities and freedoms. That is how this country, the United States of America, came to be. Immigration shouldn’t be frowned upon but viewed in a light of prosperity and growth, not only for those who come, but for our country as well.…
Immigrants want to pursue happiness and live their life just like other American citizens. If immigrants have the will and the desire to come to America and get citizenship and put their children in public schools and pay taxes and follow the rules and laws of the United States, then there's no reason why immigrants should not be granted rights. Everybody has a desire in life, a lot of those desires happen in the United States. Immigrants from all over the world come to the United States to start fresh on their life and build themselves from the ground up. Immigrants have the desire to have a citizenship in the United States which means that immigrants should not be chastised in any shape form or fashion just because they come from a different country, it is…
I think that the president should allow immigrants in because there is a lot of people who need a better life because they are in middle of war right now. Maybe we could let immigrants in if we only do a better job researching them and interviewing. It’s not just iraqis it’s also mexican that are trying to feed their families. When they cross the border they officially committed a crime, and they don’t pay taxes because they don’t want to get caught and get send back to their country, or get a worst punishment. So they work on jobs that doesn't rise suspicion and most jobs that pay good needs the immigrants to provide information but there is so jobs that does not pay well but horrible conditions. If it does not raise suspicion and it does…
Immigrants have the existing ability to enter the U.S with certain risks and restrictions. There are complications about motives and the legality as well as the consequences for these if they are caught. There is a difference between immigration and being an illegal alien. Most people who travel to this country have good reason to continue to stay, whether that reason be for family, work, war or otherwise. The real danger that concerns the border should come from the harmful contraband that is imported and exported from the country. Instead we blame crime rates, and the taking of American jobs on immigrants who are employed in businesses that impact our economy; who live in small cities, and work for small wages. With an increase in population there is bound to be slightly more chaos than typical but that is not a direct…
Immigration, especially in mass numbers is fueled by a number of reasons. Each event is bound to have positive and negative effects but when the positive effects outweigh the cons, the event is good and advantageous. Whatever the push and the pull reasons for immigration are, both the immigrants and the country hosting them get to gain.…
