Pro Immigration Law
The Supply and Demand for Immigration Laws!

One of the most controversial political and economical issues facing the United States today is immigration. The rules against illegal immigrants coming into the United States should be stricter along with the number of legal immigrants we allow into the United States lowered. The reason for these stricter laws and smaller amount of foreigners is due to the drastic increase violence due to immigrants, they also bring in a plethora of diseases while increases the cost of health care and degrading health care service. Immigrants whether legal or illegal should be under harsher rules and should be constantly observed.

Sister Helen Chaska was walking around in her hometown of Oregon doing missionary work when Maximiliano Esparza—illegal immigrant for Mexico—raped her and then strangled her with her rosary beads (Crime Victims). In another cases three young boy s, two of age 9 and the other age 10, were brutally killed by two illegal immigrants. One of the young boys was beheaded while the other two almost beheaded; the children also suffered from blunt force trauma and asphyxiation (Crime Victims). Immigrants such as Esparaza and the killers of the 3 young boys have no compassion or care for Americans i.e. 9/11. A majority of the violence that occurs in cities is committed by immigrants but once they are caught they are deported back to their country of origin.

Once legal immigrants are able to receive their green cards they must be immunized and screen to assure the American government and citizens that they are not bring any diseases over to the USA. Chagas Disease, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, Swine flu, Leprosy, and Dengue are example of diseases that began in other countries and were bought over to the United States by Immigrants (Engler). In the past 40 years the United States only had 900 cases of Leprosy but it was reported in 2003 that 7,000 people were infected with the disease. Leprosy was first bought

    The new president and the government officials of America should be for immigration.Why should the government even be pro immigration you may be asking? Well the reason why is the following…...these humble, hard-working, and caring people leave their countries due to corruption, poverty, or bad influences. Immigrants are not criminals or terrorists even though they do cross the U.S border and enter the U.S illegally(Brooks 34-38), also immigrants are not here take jobs!!!! They actually do the jobs that others don’t want to take and fill those jobs in (meaning the ones with low wages). These people immigrate to the U.S for a better life for them and for their families and work hard each and every day to earn money to maintain their families.…

    I read an article published by San Jose Mercury News regarding a crime committed by an illegal immigrant. Authorities in San Fransisco, California, which people consider as a “sanctuary city”, wouldn’t hand over a certain illegal immigrant to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Additionally, the illegal immigrant was very dangerous considering he had seven felonies and the U.S. deported him five times. While enjoying a sunny day with her beloved father, Kate Steinle was shot by this man on a popular pier in San Fransisco on July 1, 2015. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time an undocumented immigrant murdered or inflicted pain upon a U.S. citizen or their loved ones. Furthermore, many attended a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, which includes the Steinles, in Washington D.C. on July 21, 2015. During the hearing, many lawmakers and senators proposed bills in order to both block federal funding of…

    The Statue of Liberty is by now a universally recognized symbol of American political mythology. She stands at the entrance of New York harbor, wearing a spiked crown representing the light of liberty shining on the seven seas and the seven continents. The statue was a gift to the United States from the people of France in 1884. It is made of riveted copper sheets, only 3/32 of an inch thick, ingeniously attached to a framework designed by Louis Eiffel. Its construction is such that it will not be stressed by high winds or temperature changes (The world Book Encyclopedia, pp. 874-875). The symbolism of the statue is reinforced by Emma Lazarus’poem “The New Colossus”, which is inscribed on a plaque at the base of the statue.…

    Going back in time to about the year 1917 in El Paso, TX, Americans were afraid of Mexicans, when crossing the border because of the fear of catching typhus, and the possibility of it becoming epidemic. The type of disinfectant used on immigrants was, spreading gasoline and vinegar over them, believing that would kill any type of disease.…

    For this week’s discussion board I choose to discuss Mexican Americans and the health, education, and employment barriers faced by Mexican Americans. The Mexican American population includes the largest percentage of illegal aliens within the United States (Giger, 2013). While not all Mexicans are illegal aliens there are many disparities experienced by many Mexicans due to their illegal status. The illegal status of many Mexicans bars them from legal employment within the United States. Many illegal aliens work “under the table” for low wages without healthcare or dental benefits. The lack of health insurance many keep some from going to doctors unless they are very ill or injured. Many illegal Mexicans within…

    Immigration has been around since the start of this country, but in today’s society immigration has become a problem. The problem is illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is when a person from a foreign country comes to a country that is not their own without any documentation and stays for free illegally. The United States is a key player in immigration, because of their clout in the world wide economy. The United States should stop illegal immigration because housing illegal immigrants raises taxes, brings more crime and brings more disease.…

    Immigration is a sensitive topic with different point of views ranging from letting everyone in to letting absolutely no one in. Our country is in a fragile state with the current economic downturn we are in we need a new immigration policy now before everything gets out of hand. There are three major things we need to change in our policy: reduce the number of visas awarded annually, expand foreign aid and trade benefits to help governments in developing countries strengthen their economies, and finally introduce a national identity card that all workers must present when applying for employment and social services.…

    Christopher Columbus landed on the shores of America back 500 years ago in the year 1492. Were he and his crew the first illegal immigrants in America? The land was occupied by another group of people that didn’t grant these explorers the right to have whatever they please without acquiring some kind of legal status. The topic of legal status might have been irrelevant back in those days but it surely is an issue that is widely talked about in today’s America. The issue of illegal immigrants has been a hot topic especially when it comes to discussing whether these people should be allowed to have health care provided by a government that doesn’t recognize their status. The ethical question that comes into play here is whether the opportunity to have health care is a human right or not? If it is, then the United States government would be doing an injustice by withholding health care from anyone regardless of their status in society. This paper will discuss the reasons why the United States should grant illegal immigrants (specifically undocumented workers) publically financed services; the main focus will be on healthcare. Also, an analysis of James Dwyer’s argument “Illegal Immigrants, Health Care and Social Responsibility” will be provided near the conclusion of the paper.…

    The fact that illegal immigration causes health risks to U.S. citizens is often ignored. Many people that enter the United States illegally come from countries that have contagious diseases that are rarely seen in this country. There have been many reported cases of dysentery, leprosy, and tuberculosis near the U.S. and Mexico border. An “article in the New England Journal of Medicine noted that a majority (57.8%) of all new cases of tuberculosis in the United States in 2007 were diagnosed in foreign born persons” (Federation, par.4). This illegal minority group is a potential danger to the healthcare of America citizens.…

    Considering illegal immigrants come to America undocumented, they are not here with sponsorship or have not passed the screening that legalized immigrants undergo. Medical screening is a necessity for any immigrant to be in America to protect Americans from foreign illness. In 2009 an article in the New England Journal of Medicine noted that about 50% of all new cases of tuberculosis in the United States in 2007 were diagnosed in immigrants. The TB infection rate of immigrants were ten times as high as that among native born, nonimmigrants. This article documents the medical testing process for Tuberculosis…

    Immigration has been an ongoing debate in the United States for a long time. Every year, there is a growing number of immigrants arriving in the U.S to find a place of refuge while others just want to achieve the American Dream. The American Dream is the idea that people should have the opportunity to succeed despite their circumstances. However, not everyone that enter the United States do so legally. Many do so illegally by being smuggled or overstaying their visit to a friend or family member in the U.S. As a result, the U.S government has made an immense effort to protect the border by ensuring that only the people legally permitted to enter the U.S. can do so. According to the Census Bureau “immigrants added more than 22 million people to the U.S population in the last decade, equal to 80 percent of total population growth.” Many argue that this large number of immigrants has been a result of lack of or poor border security as well as a broken immigration system but that is not always the case.…

    Immigration laws are a commonly brought up, controversial subject among U.S officials. There are 4 seperate arguments from the supporting side, with the only question being what branch of the government should be in charge of them, and how. The first argument is that immigration dilutes or change existing languages, religions, cultural norms, etc. The second argument is that immigrants will flock to countries with generous social welfare programs, resulting in urban slums and flooded social networks. The third argument is that immigration can harm the country they come from if the departing immigrants are high-skilled in labor. The fourth argument is that that immigration lowers the income and job availability of domestic, low-skill workers.…

    The evening news is ripe with controversial legislation, policy and debate from the lawmakers of the United States. Some of the most interesting headlines in recent history discuss the huge battles on labor laws in Wisconsin and Iowa, the anticipation of a Republican front runner for the upcoming Presidential elections, and discussion of our nation’s ability to understand and predict future happenings in Libya, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Any of these topics could spark a heated conversation in any coffee house or roadside diner in this country but perhaps there is no issue which stays on the forefront, which riles testy tempers, and which needs to be discussed so much as this country’s policies on immigration. Certainly immigration has served as a major theme of nearly every generation of this country’s existence from the early waves of settlers, to the Chinese influx during the railroad days, to the pouring in of Europeans through Ellis Island but never before has the media clung to the issue with such tenacity bringing about the public demand for change. The laws in place are not working to curb illegal immigration and the harshest policies are serving to destroy communities and drive away the very hard-working and humble personalities that this country needs the most. Now is the time for the government of the United States to considerately review and amend laws regarding immigration to this country and provide a modern, safe and reasonable system for immigration.…
