Introduction: Immigrants make up a huge amount of our population. More than three million of New York City’s 8.225 million residents were born outside the United States.

Some believe that immigrants are bad people. That they break laws, and are criminals and could only do harm. This is the way almost all republicans feel including Donald Trump.

An example is my best friend. He and his family have lived in nyc for years. When they finally got citizenship their parents were able to to see their parents. This would have been the 1st time they would have seen their parents since when they were kids being raised by them. It had been 14 years without seeing siblings, uncles, aunts, grandparents, parents and many more relatives. Just imagine not being able to spend any kind of holiday with them. Although they’re plenty of people who are immigrants and aren’t good people. Although there’s more that are good people than bad.

When most people hear the words “illegal immigrant”, they think of bad people coming across the border to the United States and creating problems.

Socially speaking, immigrants may find themselves feeling excluded from a society with organizations and perceptions that generalize them as illegal aliens who disrupt and complicate social institutions, instead of being a contributing part of society. Immigrants may feel constantly fearful of the federal and state governments’ influence on the undocumented community, which leads to how divided politics has been on the issue. Many argue for immigration reform while others have turned down the idea entirely. Much of the stigma on immigrants involves their place of origin or religion being associated with such acts as terrorism, drug smuggling, and general violence. This allows those who are against immigration reform, the ability to argue for

He says that putting American workers first is the most important thing. Many Americans support both candidates but the one that wins will have to make important decisions to best benefit the nation and try to make all of the people in the country as happy as

Millions of immigrants in our country are currently living in fear of being sent back to their home country because of not being citizens of the U.S. They typically get taken advantage of because in addition for working for lower wages they will do the jobs Americans will not.

Immigrants keep entire industries alive just by taking up jobs that nobody desires. I believe that, as civil people, we should welcome immigrants into this great country with open arms. We should allow them to prosper, succeed, and live out the American Dream, just as our ancestors, or even ourselves, came over to do. Instead of demonizing some of these optimistic people, I feel that we should embrace them and teach them the ethics that citizens find valuable in America. Let’s not welcome immigrants as strangers from other countries, but let’s welcome them in as brand new, optimistic Americans.

Throughout history, people have always discriminated against immigrants. People in this country have always said to not let them in the country or let them work because they do no good, they all just bring illegal drugs and crime.
