IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA
What is an American? An American is someone who loves their country and the people in it and believes in bettering their own lives as well as lives of those around them. Immigrants bring to U.S strong family structures. There are many ways immigrants people help U.S. Also Immigrant people are positive for U.S economy. They help U.S economy to improve more. Immigrants help America to be America by being a multicultural society. People all around the world have only one dream, which is to come to America
Many Americans say, "Immigration is a threat to our economy”. To them, immigrants come to this country and steal their jobs. They work longer hours for less thus they bring the minimum wage down. Native Americans connot compete with them because the bosses want to hire immigrants who are willing to work with no benefit for less. They also believe that, immigrant’s children go to school for free. They get free medical. For instance, let's take a man who comes to America from Bangladesh. When he first comes from Bangladesh he works in an industry and he makes some money and then he saves some of money and opens a small Bengali or Indian restaurant. The restaurant makes outstanding business. After ten years this man owns twelve restaurants in U.S and he gives many people jobs in his restaurants so he helps the U.S. economy to grow more in. Many Americans believe that immigrants are burden to the economy because they get free medical. All immigrant students go to school for free. They don’t have to pay money. Because of these reasons they think that immigrants are burden to U.S economy but what they don’t understand is that immigrants work very hard. Most immigrants pay taxes but some of them don’t because they are not legal so make them legal then, if they don't pay taxes Americans can say that immigrants are a threat to American economy.
Many Americans don’t like immigrants because many immigrants have different traditions, culture, and language. The Americans are afraid that their culture might be in danger. They way of their living might change due to so many cultures around. What they don’t want to understand is that the more diversity there is in a country, the richer that country’s culture becomes. Besides, America is a nation of immigrants and its culture should reflect that too.
Immigrants are helping America to be a rich and better country in the world. Immigrants people are not working hard just for their families and their children, they work hard for helping U.S to be a better country. Many Americans think that if any immigrant can't learn about American culture they should leave this country. That means that all immigrants must learn about this culture and forget about their own culture. I don’t think this is a good idea because a person who forgets his own culture is one who doesn’t have a past. I believe one can add to American culture a lot if he or she is not forced to forget abut their culture.
In conclusion, I think immigrants are very important part of U.S. Immigrants improve the economy in America. They work hard just for a better future. The more cultural diversity there is in America, the better it is for the country. Individual cultures can add to the American culture. At last, I think Americans should not ignore immigrants or one day they may have to fall behind other developing countries.
