Immigration in US

Introduction

Even a short glance at our nation's annals displays that the United States, as we understand it, was founded by immigrant. Since then our culture has developed through a succession of immigration waves. Immigration is cornerstone to the heritage persona of our country. However, immigration, as a political and social topic has been constantly garbled through uninformed argument and media attention. Some look at immigrants as the personification and origin of numerous, if not all, up to date social problems. Over time immigrants themselves have become a goals of blame for complex and demanding social and economic inquiries that they could not possibly to responsible for creating. (Varno p34)

Discussion

Many of these anxieties concern to the economy. Some answers appear from study by William Foster. He concludes that "No important evidence can be discovered on any of the traditional signs that immigration has done harm to the up to date economy. There are indications, moreover, that it has done some good, in terms of its evidently favorable, albeit small, effects on the unemployment rate and average income." (Hill p45)

There is no way to prevent terrorist act if some organization decides to do so, regardless of what level of security government provides. This organization shouldn't be very advanced, rich, or powerful, and actually, it can be only one person. Example of Timothy McVeigh proves this point. So, there are only several ways to decrease the possibility of such attacks. The most of these ways are an issue of changing current immigration laws, since terrorist acts were undertaken by aliens. I can think of several scenarios of changing these laws. There is only one rule: severity of the laws is directly proportional to the level of security inside the country.

Scenario number one is the strictest. Change laws so, that only foreigners who can prove that USA really needs them could enter the country. They can be scientists, or unique specialists, like sportsmen, artists, and so on. No more illegal immigrants. Everyone without documents must immediately leave the country. No more international students. The problem of family reunification can be resolved in two ways. First, allow only closest relatives to enter the country (spouse and kids under 21). Second way is simply do not allow relatives to enter the country. This scenario is the least realistic, but it provides almost 100 percent guarantee that no more terrorist acts will take place. It is not realistic, because modern US economy is based on using cheap labor of illegal immigrants, so the economy must be totally restructured in this case.

Thread covering American heritage standards are under threat is a similarly personal argument. Our heritage has evolved and altered as certainly as the gaze of our homes and streets. The outcome of obtaining immigrants has been the rejuvenation of our heritage life; in the arts, thoughtful debate, communal activity and the total transformation of our cuisine. Ours heritage has long been a wealthy tapestry of heritages which we are still discovering.

Next scenario is basically consists ...
