The Negative Impact Of Immigration In The United States

Effect of Immigration Our communities are made up of so many different cultures, in our own group of friends we probably have Hispanics, African Americans, Asians and the list goes on and on. Our country is made up of so many people with different backgrounds that come to make a better future for themselves and their families. We see Hispanic super markets in our community, local Mexican restaurants or even flags from different countries in front of businesses. Immigrants cause an impact in our society politically, economically and culturally. The issue of immigration is major debate in the united states. Although critics argued of negative impacts of immigrants such as overcrowding, drug trafficking and threatening
Cutillas). Many of these reasons may sound pretty familiar to us because either we know people who are here for those reasons or we are here for those reasons. Those who argue against immigration do not realize that these immigrants benefit the economy. The American dollar has such a value, immigrants looking for a better living financially will get any type of job that pays better than they were getting paid in their home country. They are the ones taking the unwanted jobs by Native Americans(Alexandra Vinogradova pg.201). Immigrants are usually forced to take unwanted jobs for a low wage because they are not well educated or not fluent in English ( Alexandra Vinogradova pg.201). If you look around at the Food Court in any mall in south Florida, you will realize that most of the workers who keep the mall clean are either Hispanic or Caribbean. Nursing homes are filled with either HHA or CNA being either Hispanic or Caribbean also (Tomas R. Jimenez and Adam L. Horowitz
Apparently it is Asian; yet, at the mall the lines are filled with Americans waiting to be served Asian food. This is the impact the culture of immigrants has had on Americans. They bring a new culture in America, which some most Americans embrace while others reject it. Those whom embrace it cook less at home and order Pizza 's which is an Italian Meal, Chinese food or Taco Bell, the Mexican Restaurant. There so many things we don’t stop to realize or take for granted but are there thanks to immigration. Immigration is in our daily lives, wherever we go, we have to deal with it. It has become part of the American living. Another example would be Sedano 's the Cuban Supermarket.
