Immigration To North America

Decent Essays
These days there is an increasing factor of undocumented migrants living and working all over the world, by mainly in North America, Europe, and the more developed countries of Asia. To my point of view, no one does even think about moving to another country without having good reason for it. Moving temporary or permanently is a complex process, and not everyone wants to try to test his life. But sometimes, the circumstances leave no choice, and they have to look for more opportunities out of our home place, even so for achieving something they need to go abroad.
Sometimes the reason for migration is persecution on national, religious or political grounds. But most often people decide to move due to the economic factor. So, for example, if a person cannot find a job at home and maintain a family normally, he hopes that

People have to worry about the job they do every day, because each time they go outside there is a risk of being caught, the work they do is not permanent, one day they have a job, the other they do not. Not everyone can live in these conditions. A migrant earns money in a foreign country and sends some of them home to the family, and thus working for some time, he or she returns sometimes at will, and sometimes, he or she is deported.
The motivation for immigration to another country is often the fact that the travelers know that in this way they will be able to improve the quality of life, they will have access to better education and health care. People of older ages do this usually for the sake of children and their family, and if for young people adaptation to a foreign environment is for the most part not so painful, then adults have a hard time, because one has to settle in a new place, learn the state language, look for a job, and if they cannot manage to deal with one of the problems, they

    Hi Mercedes. I've mentioned this in my other replies that I'm noticing a theme about the reasons as to why people from different countries migrated to the United States. It seems to be the common theme that people came here for new opportunities. It's interesting that this reason is shared amongst people from so many different cultures. The United States is painted as the land of opportunity.…

    Every year, even in the 1800s, hundreds of immigrants come into the United States looking for something they needed. Immigrants went through many hard times and had to give up a lot to get what they thought of as the life they wanted for themselves and their families. They found out what being an immigrant was like, faced push and pull factors, and found out how hard it was to get into the Unite States and become a citizen. What it’s like making it as an immigrant in the United States is a lot different that you would think. Many stories are told from an immigrant’s point of view and I find it shocking, “He [a labor boss] gave us very little money, and our clothes were some of those that were found on the street…”…

    With bloodshed and ashes burning forever in memory from the Civil War, came the Gilded Age of economic prosperity and great migration in the North and West of America. The United States in the late 19th century became successful and an impactful powerhouse due to the expedited industrialization. Railroads, mining, and factories offered numerous opportunities for labor, creating labor unions and migration to increase. The new economic cycle brought the market to be flooded with lower prices so everything had to be cutthroat. These opportunities made America look extremely attractive to people from different countries like Italy, Russia, Germany, Ireland, and China.…

    Deontology Analysis Stemming from the Greek root word “deontos” meaning obligation or duty, deontology is an ethical theory which is used to judge the morality of an action itself rather than the consequences of an action as in the theory of consequentialism. Those who favor deontology believe that consequentialism can be unrealistic, too demanding, and sometimes condone immoral acts to achieve an ethical end. Consequentialism imposes that we must act in accordance to the extent that brings about the most happiness or well-being for everyone. In contrast, “What seems most distinctive of deontology is the claim that we are sometimes required not to maximize the good” (McNaughton and Rawling 38).…

    I also understand why people stuck in a corrupt country would want to go where things are better. Until it became okay to be upset over illegal immigration, most conservatives looked the other way because it provided inexpensive labor. Liberals claim that immigrants take jobs Americans don't want but don't explain that they shut down every chance to have jobs filled by Americans as a price for receiving public assistance. Unless these “immigrants” are getting paid under the table, they are paying taxes, both income, and Social Security.…

    I agree with your statement, some people who live close to the border see why they would want to leave. Personally, I visited Progresso seeing people and children begging for money was sorrowing. Especially, because of corruption, that has been happening over the years, I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to have to fear, for my life. I agree, some companies and small business take advantage, paying people below minimum wage for personal gain, saddening, that people come here for opportunity, and don’t get to treated as an equal. What’s going on in the news could be debatable, but I personally don’t believe someone who is a citizen wouldn’t want to work in the fields.…

    Adoption of the Paris Agreement at the 21st annual Conference of the Parties (COP21) has brought new attention to the detrimental effects of climate on communities all around the world. For the first time in history, all 196 countries committed to addressing global climate change.

While the agreement lacks the forcefulness many leaders and experts were calling for, it does set a framework for further emission reductions in the future.…
