Discrimination against Immigrants Although America has had its fair share of discrimination in the past, discrimination still persists and has become a cancer spreading deep into the root of America’s mantra of all men are created equal. America claims it’s a “melting pot” or a “nation of immigrants”, but we don’t willingly accept immigrants here in the United States. Discrimination in America is illegal but it is still widespread. Immigrants are usually seen as a threat, are treated unfairly,…

Immigrant Work Force Effects on Economy A study published by Rasmussen Reports in August of 2015, an American polling company, showed that 51% of voters believe that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from native workers.

First they become a naturalized citizen and are here in a legal long term residency which after so…

Introduction The Latino/a migration to the United States that occurred over the course of the last century was a phenomena mired in unfounded speculation because many “experts” struggled to properly explain the reasons for such massive amounts of Latino/a immigration. However, there are three central theories to explain the Latino/a migration to the United States. These three theories are the push-pull theory, structural theory, and transnational theory (Ramirez, 2016). Both the structural…

Did you know there are about 320 million people in the United States according to the U.S. Census Bureau, but 11 million people in the U.S. are illegal immigrants?

That would make 416 years of people immigrating to US. That means you, you and you! According to migration policy, immigrants make 26% of US population. It 's the guy who cuts your grass who you pay the minimum wage, the boy who washes dishes in the restaurant after you eat, the lady who cleans your house spotless whose back is killing her but…

Even with these numbers, it is still not completely possible to figure accurate data. “Calculating the fiscal consequences of immigration, while straightforward…
