You could take a one in a million shot in leaving your country and going to the land of opportunity finding this american dream you also want a piece of.

This American Dream should not be limited to just americans, this belief in upward mobility where if you work hard enough you can achieve to your ability, it is a trust in the “land of opportunity” but this is just an illusion to immigrants who have to face a rigged corporate system, institutional racism, and this …show more content…

Most illegal immigrants don't have the paperwork or even the education to obtain serious jobs which can only be obtained by the middle and higher classes. Most of these jobs are very laborious and involve hard work, large corporations and industries have leeway and begin to feel comfortable cheating out immigrants of their money as seen in the court case SEA v.s Chicago Convention Center who had frauded a one hundred fifty six million dollar investment from the immigrant investment program. Immigrants are at a great disadvantage with this rigged corporate system keeping the poor poor and the ritch ritch. We could fix this rigged corporate system through the immigration reform proposed by Barack Obama.” This reform would grow the economy create jobs and would cut the deficit, if the reform were passed this year the national GDP would increase by five percent or one point four trillion by the year 2033.” congressional budget office The reform would make it easier for highly skilled immigrants and those who are being educated in us colleges and universities to work in america developing new technologies and innovative processes that make our economy more productive and competitive.

Without true immigration reform, we suffer severe economic, cultural, fiscal and political strains in communities across America. Immigration has become an urging issue in legislation on both the national and state levels. Immigration legislation made the policy agenda in all 50 states in 2007, with 46 states enacting into law a total of 240 immigration-related bills. This proposal of the “Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2015” (H.R.213) stands out as the most promising measure to fix part of the problems.

The United States has always been perceived as a country of wealth and power; anything that would reflect otherwise was taken out. " Latinos constitute the largest minority group in the United States" (348) whether they are legal or not. Over the years immigration kept increasing, and after the September 11, 2001, "the war on immigrants was increasingly conflated with the war one terror." Anything that does not reflect on the White elites, is seen as terror and detrimental to society. America's flaws are never blamed on America but on others.

Comprehensive immigration reform can bring tremendous social, economic and political gains to not only the immigrants, but to the nation as a whole. The primary reason people migrate to other countries is for better opportunities for themselves and their families. The U.S. is known as the land of opportunity and therefore will always be a destination for immigrants. In order to meet the demands and also capitalize from immigration I believe Congress should legalize the current undocumented workers as guest workers contingent upon passing background checks, offer them a path to citizenship and streamline the immigration system to expedite the process for immigrants waiting to enter the country. By newly legalized workers visas and green cards

As Charles Schumer has made clear “We turn away too many people who want to legally enter our country people who could invent new technologies, create jobs, and boost our economy”. Charles Schumer wants people to come make our economic system better because people can experience new things then some of them might be rich or own their own company so they come here because they think they have lots of opportunities. Of course, it is possible to disagree with the view that undocumented immigrants could help improve the economy and instead argue that it costs taxpayers money. However, the weight of the evidence is on the other side. What must be remembered is that this situation helps improve the economy because people have different choices to choose from in the U.S. and they want to have a better future.

From the flood of illegal immigration has come a detrimental effect on the economy. From the discounted rates of college tuition to the decrease in American wages America has seen nothing but negative effects. Now that the government is offering a simple path to citizenship they jump at the chance, yet wouldn’t apply at all when there was no offer on the table. Many states are not in favor of this act and cheaper tuition; in fact over 27 states will not offer in-state tuition to Dreamers (Luzer 10). In the other 23 states that would allow the discounted tuition there is no reassurance that the immigrant will succeed and ensure the money would be put to good use.

This country was and is built by immigrants. Many start their own jobs that promote new jobs for themselves and the Americans. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, “under the 2010 Housed-passed version of the DREAM Act, the federal deficit would be reduced by $2.2 billion over ten years because of increased tax revenues” (Furman). Immigrants do not mind paying a certain amount of money to be here, but if illegals are paying like any other citizen, why not give permission to let us work in this country legally and if not why are they forced to pay taxes. If the government gave a permit that would allow immigrant parents to stay in this country, the economy would rise, many would be buying expensive business, houses, land and we would pay more than we already pay in taxes.

Instead, immigrants are being vilified by the president and his base and being called “terrorists, rapists, and animals.” In reality many are making incredibly positive contributions to our communities and our country as a whole. There is a myth people believe immigrants taking American jobs. This isn’t true, stated by Daniel Griswold of CATO institute, “Immigrants tend to fill jobs Americans can’t or won’t fill, mostly at high and low ends of the skill spectrum. Immigrants are disproportionately represented in such high-skilled fields in medicine, physics, computer science, but also in lower-skilled sectors such as hotels, restaurants, domestic service, construction and light

Immigration has been a very hot topic in the U.S for long time. Most people come to this country to find preferable opportunities, to have a shot at becoming something significant in life, but few people do it legally. There’re about 12 million immigrants in the U.S and only one million are legal (“5 facts”).

People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family.
