Secondly follow their interest: if one immigrant as a certain interest in a topic try and get other immigrants involved. Lastly set goals: let the immigrants set certain social goals for themselves once they are out of the department, and see if they follow through with them.

Immigration is causing so many downfalls in the U.S., ranging from job stealing to smuggling drugs. Immigrants coming from other Countries illegal have been drug dealers and gang members and additionally allowed new diseases into this Country. If the Borders were closed and all immigrants went through the proper background checking than a lot of the drug trafficking would possibly go down. Even with the proper background checks there is still the possibility of having terrorist attacks; for example, the men who hijacked the 9/11 planes we here on temporary visas meaning they were went through the background check and had been approved.

    Rex Nutting’s “2 Trillion Reasons Why Immigrants Make America Great” is arguing that Immigration is a good thing for America and makes America a more Prosperous nation. Nutting examines Donald Trump’s “hateful rhetoric” and disproves it with various studies and reports. The writer also examines the economic growth in the US within the last 10 years by examining immigrant’s contribution to the GDP, GDP per capita, unemployment rates, wages, and education. Nutting examines both sides of the story and uses humor to appeal to reader while still being candid. Nutting’s argument is critical of those who do not believe that immigrants make America a better place and the author makes a strong case for immigrant’s positive contribution by providing multiple highly credible studies and research.…

    “Today, over 1 million immigrants enter our country legally per year, while the illegal population grows by about 500,000 per year” (William Gheen). Some Americans think it is a huge problem, while others believe they are people that deserve a chance at a better life. Either way, illegal immigration has been an ongoing problem in The United States since the late 1800’s. Originally, there were no laws on immigration until the U.S. began to grow rapidly, creating a problem.

    The only thing worst than being a new arriving immigrant in the first half of the 1800s in the United-States was being a slave or servant. No matter which part of the country you found yourself in whether it be the North, South or West, as an immigrant you would be subjected to job discrimination, residential segregation, limitations on civil and legal rights... However, if a choice had to be made, I would have probably chosen the North because the thought of living in a state that hadn't abolished slavery like in the Southern states wouldn't be conceivable to me. Moreover, I wouldn't have lived in the West since the states that were being created there would have been too recently become parts of the Union and I would have most likely considered them…

Without these immigrant workers these positions might not be filled or as available.…
