The Pros And Cons Of Migration Into The United States

In 2015, a poll was done that asked American’s how immigrants coming into the United States will help the country in the long run, for better or for worse? On average, most people say that they will help for the better, but 36% of people still said that immigrants will hurt the United States in the long run. (Pew Research Center.) This is the well known idea of many people in the population that have a negative view of immigrants. They claim that all they do are raising the crime rates and take citizen’s opportunities with little to no effort on their part. One of the biggest negative perception is that immigrants need no effort to get in-state tuition to universities and have full financial aid to pay for their studies. So the question is,

The first and most commonly known problem is a decreased in job opportunities for the average American citizen. If immigrants get opportunities to study and apply for jobs there will be a decrease in jobs available. The reason for this cause is that companies and higher employers employ immigrants because they can pay them with lower wages. When many qualified American citizens apply for positions, but expect short hours and low wages the employer would rather say the person who would work for less pay and low hours. Even if DACA gives legal opportunities to undocumented immigrants the act would ignore opportunities for American citizens. Another major negative that is believed to happen is that DACA will encourage more illegal border movements. If immigrants here are given things free of charge and just for being at the right place more immigrants will try to come into the country. This is presented by the statistics that over 11 million unauthorized movements happened on the United State’s border in 2015. (Vittana) The worry that is brought on because of this is that the United States is in the age of terrorism, so if immigrants can come in with open arms is the country putting themselves at risk. Even with these risks the benefits outweigh the negatives in the long

The main first topic was immigrants wanting to be a part of higher education. The state of California was the main focus with a large immigrant population rate than the United States as a whole. Immigrants that make up this large rate are Asian and Hispanic immigrants. It was reported that Asian and Hispanic immigrants already come into the U.S. with their respective countries having larger literacy rates than the U.S. A worry that citizens bring up is that are immigrant families trying to pay for their child’s education and not just wanting to for free. This question was answered by the information that most families have saved up for as much as they could for their child’s education. Then the act of DACA was brought in with information on how the act helps immigrant’s opportunities, such as, providing financial support to immigrant children who are wanting to go to college. The focus carried on to the question if DACA should be brought back with knowledge that President Donald Trump has incised the act. Positive and negatives of DACA’s influence on the country as whole was presented. The examples that were shown are benefits such as military support economic certainties or, on the contrary, with negatives including less job opportunities and an increase of illegal border movements.. Now that DACA is no longer an act immigrants are having a hard time to get
