This is my recommendation blog about what people should do about all the immigration.
First of all everyone should join together to create ultimate peace. Don't be disrespectful to someone of a different culture, they could achieve the same level of success as anyone. I think anyone who wants to come to the U.S should be able to come. Everyone wants to live the American dream. Now that doesn't mean that you should let everyone come, there should be a background check down. If the results come that they have created a crime they shouldn't be allowed to come. As well if an immigrant commits a crime they should be sent back.

Another thing is to stop calling immigrants "illegal." For example if someone commits a crime they are not called an illegal criminal, so why should an immigrant be called and illegal immigrant. This makes no sense for politicians to be calling immigrants illegal. Every politician should help immigrants come to the U.S, they help with the economy. Everyone should be able to do what ever they want as long that it doesn't hurt anyone. As it states in the declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Even our for fathers said we have rights as humans. Why not just let everyone try to achive the American dream. Don't have envy towards them but support them, in the long run they will help out with the economy. There should be ultimate peace so we could live our lives how we want.

In the beginning immigration wasn’t a controversy; but attitudes toward immigrants have cycled back and forth between favorable and hostile since the 1790s. There are always issues here and issues there, they are always there. Man have always struggled to get along with another. They fear that the new man will over take him. They try their best to keep their life the same. They start to call people “illegal.” Nobody should be scared of people moving in. It could help you out in your every day life. People should ask themselves: what am I scared of? what am I trying to prevent? will this help me out? will it not? Immigration is a lot of thing but most people judge it before they even know what it will really cause. The main question people should be asking is; why call some one something they are not?

Human beings have always migrated, from the beginning of time. English colonists took over and occupied this part of the continent more than 500 years ago, displacing its inhabitants: the American Indians. English settlers were immigrants. Was that immigration legal? Were the pioneers that came in the Mayflower legal? Did they have the permission of the Native Americans to immigrate and take their lands? Did they carry any passport? The answer is no. They did not ask for the permission to come and stay. Yet they did. Nobody thinks that back. Almost everybody in this country can go back and find one family member that  was immigrant. Yet they think they have a right to be here and some people don’t.

When people think that other people don’t have the right to be here they start to call them “illegal.”  When we call someone an “illegal immigrant,” we should be aware that the point that is being made is that person is an immigrant, and secondly that he does not count in terms of the proper documentation. “Immigrant” is the noun and “illegal” is the adjective. This means that the main point here is that the person is an immigrant and the other point is that he is undocumented. The legality of the immigration status is incidental; it just adds  information to the status. It does not define the person, what does actually define him or her is the term “immigrant.” And an immigrant is a person; a person cannot be illegal.  A human being cannot be illegal. A country with centuries of slavery, racial segregation and discrimination now has the perfect excuse to continue what they have always done. Take all the power because they are scared of all the different cultures.

In the present Hispanic population is now the new target for all the controversies. Let’s do some thinking. Imagine that there is a country out there in which a wall is being built along its border in order to keep people out. Let’s say that every year, about 500 people die trying to cross the border to enter. Let’s suppose that in that country, social services like health, education and legal representation are refused to undocumented immigrants. In addition to this, in that remote country, immigrants cannot open a bank account, get a driver’s license, rent an apartment, and they are discouraged from speaking their own language. Let’s imagine that that country has profited from immigrant labor for generations by paying the lowest wages and salaries to those who are undocumented and cannot find a job. Let’s add also that it has added military to its border. This is the US, it is not a made up country. The US are afraid that if to much people move from Mexico that they will over run the government.

Let’s go back to, why get defensive when with immigration? Almost all immigrants come here to live the dream. They do not come to cause harm. Yet we take away everything away from “illegal” immigrants. They are just trying to make a living, take care of their family. You can say “ they are going to rob something”, they might do that. they might cause problems for my work. all these bad thing can happen as well. But lets ask our selves, why get defensive when with immigration?

Poll Shows Most in U.S. Want Overhaul of Immigration Laws

May 03, 2010 - New York Times/CBS News

In this poll of U.S. adults, respondants were asked whether "illegal immigrants who are currently working in the U.S. "should be allowed to stay in their jobs, and to eventually apply for U.S. citizenship" or stay as temporary guest workers only, or should be required to leave the U.S. 64 percent thought they should be be allowed to stay and work. A minority, 32 percent, thought they should be required to leave.


This is the poll that I found interesting. I think that the 32% is from the conservatives that don't want any immigration. It seems like more than half of the population is ok with illegal immigrants staying here if they work. It helps our economy. If they're not doing any harm to anybody why should they leave. They're working to stay here. All the money they get goes into our economy, I think that's why 64% of the people surveyed were ok with illegal immigrants staying here.

Immigration has been one of the major sources of the US population. The US lets more legal immigrants as residents than all other countries combined. Immigration causes many problems. The economic and political aspects have caused many controversy with ethnicity, benefits, and job loss to non-immigrates. People debate if immigration is good for the US because all these controversies. Most of the immigration comes from Mexico and most of them are illegally entering the US. Lately the Obama's  administration said that they are only deporting that committed a crime. It has caused so much controversy lately.

The b

Immigration has been around since the beginning of time. If no one had ever migrated the US have not of been founded. The history of US immigration spans a long period of migration. From many different people and various parts of the world. Any one who migrated here came full of hopes and dreams of the "Promised Land." They wanted a better life, people came from Ireland and Germany because they were having crop failures, others were being pushed out of Europe because their industrial revolution . They wanted to learn something, most of them were poor and uneducated The dream didn't just involve moving here but so much more. Immigration hosted many issues; for example, cultural differences and language barriers among different ethnic groups, which has given frequently given rise to hostilities between them. Also, immigrants' inability to quickly adapt to the mainstream of American social life have often prevented them from realizing the economic advancement they sought when they left their homelands. Immigration has always been a problem but it has also been something we need to advance our country.
