Nativists are native born citizens who are against immigrants coming to the United States in the 1800’s. Immigrants are taking all of the nativists jobs, leaving the people who are actually born as US citizens with nothing increasing poverty.

Research has shown that immigration will positively affect the workers wages and employment because while some suggest that wages will decline as supply of labor increases this is not the case with immigration (american process). Generally immigrants and Native born workers complement each other rather than compete for the same job. Native born workers tend to have a different skill set and therefore seek different jobs from time to time. If for instance there is an immigrant worker with similar set skills and are working for the same job the firms respond by finding this an opportunity to expand their business in the market. Another thing researchers have found is that legalized workers invest more in their human capital, including job training, education, and language skills making then even more productive workers and higher earnings (Economic Benefits).

How can someone be judged solely on where they are from? As a human it is important that you have the right to live any place you want. People should not classify humans as illegal or legal. What gives these people the right to hold another human’s fate in their hands. I believe that humans should have the right to live where ever they feel is right, and just because you were born in another country that should not stop you from living your life where you please.

Considering that most are descended from immigrants, this isn’t a viable claim. To further negate this, the US is still below the OECD average for immigrants in different countries. Another worry that plagues taxpayers of this country is that legalized immigrants will immediately access welfare and take advantage of it. Still, it takes 13 years for anyone to have access to welfare upon first entering the country as stated by the Senate version of reform (Nowrasteh, “Rebuttal of Senator”). Without people to join the work force with manual effort, this country would crumble.

Should immigration be legal? I believe that immigration should be legal, immigrants are not just coming to bug us, but they are coming for their own needs, a new home, a new job, or they come because they want to live like us “Such as to live in freedom, to practice their religion freely, to escape poverty or oppression”(Arizaga, The Gramblinite). Immigrants need the same equal rights but they may not get that in their country, such as the 1st Amendment, which is they want to have the freedom of religion,speech,press,petition, and assembly. We may not agree with what they believe but we have that freedom so why can't they come into our country to get that freedom they want. Even though if they are illegal they may run into more obstacles.

I. Introduction Ever since the modern era, movement of people has become more common. Nevertheless, immigration remains a heatedly debated issue both in the academia and in public, especially in recent years.

This essay attempts to unravel the myth of immigration, and to understand the reasons behind problematization of it.
