According to different sources, the immigration to the United States is an international movement of the non-Americans to the United States for the sake of permanent residing. As a result of immigration to the United States, the population of the country ends up increasing hence bringing about pressure in the usage of the natural resources of the country. Again, the immigration leads to competition in business as many businesses are started to finance the lives of the immigrants in the country.
The immigration of the non-American contributes to change in the cultural practices of the people throughout the country. The immigration issues in the United States have brought out economic, social and political aspects hence controversy in different issues related to the maintaining the ethnic homogeneity. The immigrants have again led to a reduced job for the Native Americans.
According to the book “Anderson and Stuart. Immigration. Greenwood, 2010” it is true that Immigration affects a large number of people in the United States, therefore, ensuring that different government projects do not go on as per the expectations of the governmental officials. Anderson and Stuart have outlined that the migration of people from one country to the other has both positive and negative impacts on the country. However, it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that the members of the public are sustained in an effective manner to enable them to live in peace and harmony with each other.
The book “Anderson and Stuart. Immigration. Greenwood, 2010” reiterated that every year, millions of the Americans move from one place to the other in search of job opportunities hence making their living standards better. The people can again move from place to place in search of their family members. Moreover, in countries like the United States, there are both illegal and legal immigration cases. More than 11 million Americans can be termed as illegal immigrants hence ineffectiveness of the current policies is experienced.
Moreover, the people in the United States can be forced to move from one place to the other due to the nature of politics carried out in the United States. The politics in the United States bring about instability in the country which forces people to move to the peaceful parts of the world.
The movement of the people from one country to the other as a result of the instability in their country can be solved by bringing about stability in the country’s politics. That can again be addressed by bringing in place policies and reforms in the country which make it easy for the government to facilitate the good stay of its citizens.
The government should ensure that the economy is not biased as that might result in the migration of the people to different parts of the world. That can, therefore, be solved by coming up with different reforms and policies which make it easy for the people to be contained in the country.
When the people move from one country to the other, they end up making it hard for the country in which they migrate from to achieve its objectives as the manpower in the country is reduced. The government should come up with strategies which ensure that the citizens’ needs are addressed accordingly to reduce their exposure to hardships which can force them to move from one country to the other. (Bisin, 2017)
When the needs of the customers are addressed, it becomes hard for them to migrate from one country to the other due to the fact that an enabling environment is created for them to work for sake of developing their mother country. Again, key aspects of economic and cultural debates should be done in a way that does not affect the dignities of the people in the society.
On the other hand, the article “Brown, R. Khari, and Ronald E. Brown. “Race, Religion, and Immigration Policy Attitudes.” Race and Social Problems, vol. 9, no. 1, Mar. 2017, pp. 4–18. Crossref, doi:10.1007/s12552-017-9201-5” is different from the book because it has been used to address the issues contributing to the immigration of people. However, the article has made it clear that the immigration cases in the country are increased by the increased discriminations according to race and the social problems experienced by the people in the country.
However, issues are raised on matters related to that race, religion and different policies put in place by the government contribute to immigration in the United States. The policies put in place by the government help in ensuring that the members of the public do not experience the hardships which force them to migrate from one country to the other. (Orchowski, 2008)
As far as the strengths are concerned, the authors argued that when the policies are effectively implemented, they help in ensuring that the needs of the members of the public are addressed effectively, therefore, reducing the cases of immigration in the United States.
Moreover, for the citizens’ needs to be addressed in the best way possible the government ensures that the cases of discrimination are not experienced therefore making it easy for the people to live in peace and harmony.
On matters related to the weaknesses of the articles “Orchowski, Margaret Sands. Immigration and the American Dream: Battling the Political Hype and Hysteria. Rowman & Littlefield: Distributed by National Book Network, 2008”, the authors did not clarify the main causes of the immigration experienced in the United States. In situations whereby, the causes of the Immigration are expressed, it becomes easy for different people to come up with the needed strategies to reduce such cases in the country.
Again, Orchowski, Margaret Sands. Immigration and the American Dream should have specified the effects of immigration in the country as a way of trying to reduce such impacts as they might interfere with the economy of the country in a negative manner.
The ideas provided are strong as they provide enough details on the ways of addressing the cases of immigration in the United States. The information provided is strong enough and it has provided me detailed ideas of the immigration of the members of the public in the country.
According to the article “Orchowski, Margaret Sands. Immigration and the American Dream: Battling the Political Hype and Hysteria. Rowman & Littlefield : Distributed by National Book Network, 2008”, the government should come up with different policies which ensure that the members of the public are not discriminated according to their races. This will bring about exploitations which force the people to move from one country to the other in a search for peace. The cases of discrimination should be discouraged for the sake of bringing about the success of the country’s activities.
According to “Orchowski, Margaret Sands. Immigration and the American Dream, different strengths and weaknesses are experienced in the manner in which the ideas are expressed. The books used to provide details on immigration in the United States have discussed the reforms done to reduce the immigration in different countries.
As far as the book “Muwonge, Godfrey Y. Immigration Reform: We Can Do It, If We Apply Our Founders’ True Ideals. Hamilton Books, 2009.” Is concerned, the book is different from the article because it has indicated clearly that the government should come with policies which will bring about reforms in the cases of immigration. The policies should be in a way that does not affect the members of the public. This will make it easy for people to live in peace in their countries. The reforms in immigration will reduce the cases of immigration by reducing the cases of discriminations in the country. However, the book “Muwonge, Godfrey Y. Immigration Reform: We Can Do It, If We Apply Our Founders’ True Ideals. Hamilton Books, 2009.” has reiterated that the members of the public should remain focused to comply with the reforms hence ensuring that the government’s activities are obeyed in an effective manner.
The reforms can be brought about by considering a large number of foundations within the country. The foundations will support the reforms hence ensuring that the affairs of the immigrants are addressed in an effective manner. I think that the book “Muwonge, Godfrey Y. Immigration Reform: We Can Do It, If We Apply Our Founders’ True Ideals. Hamilton Books, 2009.” is different from the articles because it had addressed what should be done to ensure that the cases of immigration are handled in the best way possible. Moreover, the book “Muwonge, Godfrey Y. Immigration Reform: We Can Do It, If We Apply Our Founders’ True Ideals. Hamilton Books, 2009.” is different from the article “Sullivan, Michael. “Defending Family Unity as an Immigration Policy Priority.” Studies in Social Justice, vol. 11, no. 2, Mar. 2018, p. 369. Crossref, doi:10.26522/ssj.v11i2.1509.” because the article has focused on the unity of the family as a way of ensuring that cases of immigration are discouraged in the country. The unity of the families should be applied as a policy to address the issues of immigration in an effective manner. When families are disunited, they end up contributing to immigration because of the conflicts which create a disturbing environment for the people.
This article “Sullivan, Michael. “Defending Family Unity as an Immigration Policy Priority.” Studies in Social Justice, vol. 11, no. 2, Mar. 2018, p. 369. Crossref, doi:10.26522/ssj.v11i2.1509.” is similar to the book in that they both address the issues which ought to be done to reduce the cases of immigration in the country. Different ideas have been expressed on matters of immigration and the strategies put in place for the sake of ensuring that people do not move from their country to other countries.
Again, the article “Bisin, Alberto, and Giulio Zanella. “Time-Consistent Immigration Policy under Economic and Cultural Externalities.” Economic Policy, vol. 32, no. 91, July 2017, pp. 415–46. Crossref, doi:10.1093/epolic/eix010.” Discusses more the policies put in in place to ensure that the cultures and the economic issues in the country do not contribute to the immigration of people. The economic and cultural externalities of the people contribute a lot to the immigration of people. The government has therefore put in place the policy in order to ensure that the cultures of the people do not affect the living standards of the other members of the public. This article is different from the books in that it has been able to outline the manner in which the economic and cultural externalities of the people have increased the rates of immigration in the country.
Moreover, the article “Bisin, Alberto, and Giulio Zanella. “Time-Consistent Immigration Policy under Economic and Cultural Externalities.” Economic Policy, vol. 32, no. 91, July 2017, pp. 415–46. Crossref, doi:10.1093/epolic/eix010.” has been able to discuss in details the importance of considering the economic and cultural externalities of the people for the sake of bringing about stability in the country. However, the cultures of the people should be safeguarded for the sake of ensuring that the country experiences the needed economic growth for the purposes of reducing the immigration rates. Again, the economic externalities in the country should be considered thus ensuring that the government does not allow such externalities as they contribute largely to the immigration of the people.
A similarity arises because it discusses the efforts of the government to reduce the cases of immigration. In the same manner, the article has explained the introduction of the policy to reduce the immigration cases; the books have again reiterated a similar thing hence safeguarding the welfare of the people in the country. According to my analysis, the articles are different from the books in that they have discussed efforts by the government to reduce the cases of immigration while the books have explained the immigration in details. The books can be used to enable people to understand what immigration is while the article can be used to analyze the efforts put in place to ensure that immigration is not experienced.
As far as the causes are concerned, the authors have stated clearly that race, religion and the social problems experienced by the members of the public contribute to the immigration of the people to different parts of the world. The differences in the races of the people in the United States have contributed to the ability of the people to move from one place to another in the entire world. (Brown, 2017)
The immigration resulting from the discrimination of people due to their races can be addressed by reducing the cases of discrimination in the country. On the other hand, the discrimination of the members of the public due to their religion leads to the increased cases of immigration in the United States.
Again, different ideas have been expressed in a special way that the social problems experienced by the members of the public contribute to the increased cases of immigration. This shows the originality of the ideas as they have given their thinking about the causes of immigration in society.
Finally, it is clear that the poor policy attitudes by the people in the United States contribute to the inability of the people to contain themselves in the country, therefore, opting to migrate to different parts of the world.
Moreover, the article “Bisin, Alberto, and Giulio Zanella. “Time-Consistent Immigration Policy under Economic and Cultural Externalities.” Economic Policy, vol. 32, no. 91, July 2017, pp. 415–46. Crossref, doi:10.1093/epolic/eix010.” States that the negative cultural and economic externalities of the immigrants should be avoided as that might impose on the native's negative behaviors. This article is different from the books provided because it has been able to explain how the natives end up getting affected when the cultural and the economic externalities are allowed to interfere with the affairs of the people in the country. According to the article, both the cultural and the economic externalities end up affecting both the high and the low skilled natives in the country. The cultural and the economic externalities bring about poor labor market outcomes, contestable public goods and a lot of cultural externalities in the country. The policy in this article will make it easy for the government to ensure that the natives are not affected by the immigration of the blacks in the country. This will ensure that the culture from the blacks do not affect the cultures of the natives as that might contribute to the failure in different government operations. However, the article is different from the books because the author clarified that the policy is made to benefit the natives from the exploitation of the immigrants.
The manner in which different reforms on the immigration are implemented is outlined in an effect. This makes it easy for the government to address the cases of immigration in an effective manner, therefore, making it easy for the members of the public to be contained in the country.
According to my thinking, the ideas of the authors were strong because they addressed the issues affecting the immigrants in the United States, therefore, highlighting the ways in which the cases of the immigration can be mitigated to contribute to the economic growth of the country. (Orchowski, 2008)
On the issues of the policies put in place to address the cases of immigration, the ideas were strong in that the policies were effectively addressed in details. Moreover, the authors have handled different areas which affect immigration, therefore, making a large number of people to understand the concept effectively.
The manner in which the authors put across the ideas on immigration made it easy for the people in the society to understand the concept in the best way possible. It is again clear that the immigration policies play important roles in ensuring that the economy of the country is stabilized. When the immigrants are contained in the country, they provide enough manpower which helps in increasing the productivity of the country.
According to my review on the books and the articles of my choice, it is true that the articles showed their strengths in a way that helped me in realizing all the aspects related to immigration of the people in the United States.
As far as the strengths of the literature are concerned, the articles clarified that the immigration cases in the United States are brought about by the battling the political Hype in the country, therefore, making it easy for the people to understand in an effective manner. The articles outlined the causes of the Immigration in a simple way that satisfied my needs. (Brown, 2017)
The authors of the books and the articles consistently made the policies controlling the migration of people in a clear way. Such policies are used to ensure that the people are not exploited as that might lead to their movement from one country to the other. As a result of the reduced exploitation of the members of the public, the cases of immigration are reduced therefore ensuring that the government achieves its objectives in a very short period of time.
Again, the immigration policies are made a priority as a way of making it easy for the people to live in peace and harmony, therefore, benefitting from the development put in place by the government.
According to the books and the articles, the discrimination of the people in the United States is prohibited through the policy and hence the people found mistreating other are subjected to punishments as well as fines which act as a way of discouraging such cases in the society.
Moreover, the policy on immigration is put in place to ensure that the manpower in the country is contained in the best way possible hence ensuring that the government addresses the cases of shortage of manpower which is brought about by the immigration of the people.
The articles and the books have again made it clear that it is the responsibility of the government to safeguard the cultural externalities in the country as a way of improving its economy thus ensuring that the cases of immigration are reduced at a large rate.
The cultures of the people should be safeguarded and respected as that will ensure that the immigration cases are reduced in the United States. However, when the cultures are respected, peace is experienced amongst the members of the public hence conflicts which result in immigration are not experienced in the country. (Sullivan, 2018)
On the other hand, the weaknesses of the articles are that they do not explain the manner in which the policies put in place are implemented to address the cases of immigration. This makes it hard for the people in society to understand the ways used to implement the policies, therefore, providing the needed requirement. The weaknesses of the articles and the books are experienced whereby the authors do not specify the social injustices contributing to the immigration of the people.
When effectively addressed, the cases of immigration are reduced therefore enabling the government to achieve its objectives and goals within the stipulated time. Moreover, the social injustices contributing to the immigration of the people should be addressed in the most convenient manner possible to bring about peace amongst the members of the public.
According to the manner in which the authors expressed themselves, it is true that the literature was clear and hence I could understand the concept effectively. The presentation of the ideas is clear in both the books and articles for the purposes of ensuring that the members of the public realize the main causes and the effects of immigration amongst the people from different countries.
Due to the clarity and the effectiveness of the authors’ organization from both the books and articles, I could understand that immigration can be brought about by the increased prices of the products sold in different places. This is experienced whereby the economy of the country does not favor the living standards of the people in the country. (Bisin, 2017)
Moreover, it is clear that the government should ensure that the cost of living is low as that will reduce the cases of immigration which can contribute to a poor economy.
On the other hand, the writing skill of the authors is precise and never used a hard language. The precise manner in which the authors wrote the articles and the books enabled me to analyze the main concept of immigration. As far as the books are concerned, the main points in the Immigration topic were presented in the first pages as a way of drawing the readers’ attention hence bringing about an effective understanding.
According to my thinking, the authors addressed the cases of immigration confidently by putting across the policies which should be followed to ensure that the people are provided with an enabling environment when in the country. The policies play important roles in motivating the members of the public to take part in the running of different government affairs.
As far as I am concerned, I value the books and the articles due to the fact that they have analyzed what to be done for the purposes of reducing the cases of immigration as they have contributed to the slow economic growth of the country. Moreover, I could read the policies which ought to be considered by different countries as a way of mitigating the cases of immigration. The different policies should be applied to different people depending on the cultures of the people in the society.
The policies used in the books and the articles are effective in that they are made to safeguard the culture of different people in the United States. This is because when not effectively followed, they end up lowering the dignities of the people in society, therefore, affecting their normal performance in the country. (Sullivan, 2018)
On the other hand, the social injustices experienced by the members of the public are addressed effectively as a way of ensuring that people do not suffer in the country. When sufferings are experienced due to the social injustices the people tend to migrate from one country to the other in a search for peace which will enable them to carry out different projects effectively.
To the other readers, I think that I find the articles and the books to be encouraging to them as the different concepts are discussed for the purposes of ensuring that the people are educated on the cases of immigration which have been of negative impacts to the country’s economy. Many readers find it easy to read and understand the articles and the books as they are presented in easy languages comprising of simple words which do not require a lot of researches for their understanding.
My selected authors of the articles and the books have overlooked some research questions to bring about an understanding to the people. The questions on the policies to be implemented to reduce the cases of immigration have been overlooked therefore making it easy for the members of the public to understand what the government should do to ensure that the immigration cases are addressed.
Again, the same questions have been overlooked therefore when the cases of the policies are overlooked; they make it easy for the government to implement different projects to ensure that all the people are contained in the country. (Bisin, 2017)
This book “Orchowski, Margaret Sands. Immigration and the American Dream: Battling the Political Hype and Hysteria. Rowman & Littlefield : Distributed by National Book Network, 2008.”Has made it clear that people migrate to the US so that they can get to be together with their spouses. This mostly occurs in a situation where parents work in the US and their children are in another country. The parents can use an immigration attorney to help them petition for their children to be allowed to migrate to the US. People migrate to the US to also get an education.
The US is said to be well equipped in terms of educational facilities and hence many students tend to apply for a student visa to study in the US top colleges and universities. (Bisin, 2017) They later go back to their country after completing their studies and some decide to reside there permanently.
The US is said to be well equipped in terms of educational facilities and hence many students tend to apply for a student visa to study in the US top colleges and universities (Bisin, 2017). They later go back to their country after completing their studies and some decide to reside there permanently. In order for one to migrate to the US permanently, one could either apply for permanent residency into the US or one could apply for Citizenship into the US. The permanent resident status can be granted on instances where one has the status of a refugee, one has family ties, and where one can be able to secure employment and also where the state wants to promote diversity. To acquire the permanent residency, one could follow the following procedures.
To start with, one could assess whether they are eligible to get the permanent residency into the US by considering the following factors. First, one should consider whether they can get permanent residency as a result of employment. In order for this to happen, one must make sure they get employed from a company in the US (Anderson, 2010). Later one should ensure they request for a certificate of approval from the Department of Labor, which can tend to be a long and costly process, and the employing company must really be interested in hiring you.The US normally issues such as visas in cases where they want to encourage people who are skilled to come to their country.
These ways ensure that the person from a different country is able to become a citizen in the United States. On getting employed in a given organization, the immigrant is required to register in the department of labor for the purposes of identification and ensuring that the government can control its people. It is the responsibility of the government to identify the number of people entering the country hence guiding them to the right procedures to use for the sake of acquiring the United States citizenship.
On the other hand, the government will provide visas to the skilled people from another country as a way of increasing the manpower in the country. Through the visas, the people become the citizen of the United States and hence are eligible for different government considerations. Again, the government ensures that the people are registered as a way of ensuring that they become Americans through the visas provided to them.
Secondly, one can consider whether they can get permanent residency in a situation where one has close family ties to people who are US citizens or are green-card holders. Therefore, if one is a spouse, parent, child or a sibling of a person who is a Us citizen the chances of them being granted permanent residence are high.
Thirdly, one can qualify for permanent residency into the US in cases where one has the status of a refugee. In order for one to qualify for such a status, one must have the affiliation of either ethnic or religious situation that can restrict them from returning into their country of origin.
One can gain permanent residence into the US through the Diversity Visa Lottery Program, which is mostly known as the green card lottery. One can get such a lottery when one is migrating from a country that has a low rate of people immigrating to the US.
Prior to 1965, different policies were put in place to limit the number of people entering the United States. This is because they led to reduced employment opportunities for the Native Americans. The people from outside Western Europe were not allowed to have an access to the country. A formula was therefore enacted in the early 1880s for the purposes of ensuring that equity and the manner in which different issues were addressed was effectively carried out.
The law enacted by the United States restricted the immigrants from Asia from coming into the country because they were associated to terrorist activities which might have contributed to the loss of the country’s resources as well as the loss of the people’s lives. According to research, it is true that the immigrants have positive impacts on the development of the United States’ economy. This is brought about by the fact that the majority of the Immigrants are specialists in different fields. However, the majority of the Immigrants have been able to get employed in different government sectors for the purposes of ensuring that the economy of the country is developed in an effective manner.
According to other researches, the low skilled immigrants affected the low skilled Natives in a negative manner. Moreover, the immigrants have low crime rates as compared to the natives and they are therefore used by the government to set examples to the members of the public as a way of mitigating the crime rates in the country.
During the Colonial Era, the immigrants brought about different races, national groups and ethnicities in the United States hence that had different challenges in the running of the country. Some of the immigrants may choose to reside permanently or temporally to the United States.
