Immigration has been a controversial topic throughout time.

There are many thoughts

behind why immigrants from Mexico travel to the U.S. Some which are good and others which

place them as the villains. The idea of immigrants from Mexico coming to the U.S have sparked

many questions upon citizens, which some are controversial. Why do people from Mexico

migrate to the U.S and how does it affect the U.S? The thoughts on immigrants have changed

since the beginning of the U.S formation. The U.S was founded by European Immigrants and

established by European Immigrants. Later came the African Immigrants who were forced to be

slaves and work for the Europeans. As the time passed, peoples' view of immigrants changed.

The white race became superior to other races and brought immigrants from other places to work

for them against their will. As the U.S got to its highest economic rate more immigrants came

willingly to the U.S because of the benefits and economy of the U.S. Here is where some became

against the idea because of the high increase of immigrants. The article “THE EFFECTS OF

IMMIGRATION ON THE UNITED STATES’ ECONOMY” is focused upon the economy of the

United States. It states that many people believe that immigrants are taking away Americans'

jobs. The author of the article goes on to disprove this thought about the idea of immigrants

stealing jobs. The Author mentions “that the economic effects of immigration are mostly positive

for natives and for the overall economy.” He states that the economy is overall positively

impacted because of immigrants. He mentions that most immigrants pay more in taxes and

consume less governmental support. “as many immigrants pay more in taxes over a lifetime than

they consume in government services.He goes on to speak about the consuming of immigrants

into american products which has vastly helped the U.S as a whole. The second article ”America

needs more, not fewer, migrant workers” this article is more recent to the time we are facing. It

mentions how our previous president Donald Trump has had an impact on the view of
immigrants. The author first begins questioning the actions and thoughts of Donald Trump by

mentioning “ Trump’s efforts to build a longer and better wall, so far unsuccessful, are based on

the premise that the U.S. economy is better off with fewer migrant workers” Like the previous

article it mentions the increase in immigrants. This article gives the people more of a personal

walk into the experience many immigrants face when coming to America. This article gives

some reasons behind the thought on why people come to the U.S. the author mentions that the

demand for labour workers is high and many immigrants have taken those jobs since it is what

they are more capable of doing. He says “resulting in the need for more migrant workers,

because their labour is essential.” He goes onto mention why the reasonings behind Mexican

Immigrants thoughts when it comes to family and how to raise them. He seys “ That’s because

Mexican migrant workers prefer to make some money in the U.S. but raise their families in

Mexico, and set up small businesses in Mexico”. This shows the thoughts behind the reasoning

of many mexican immigrants when coming to the U.S. The third article “Pros and cons of

Immigration”, like the previous article, also states the importance of immigrants to the economy.

The article says, “ Net immigration will lead to a growth in the size of the labour force and an

increase in the productive capacity of the economy. Immigrants cause an increase in labour jobs

which allows the economy to increase because of the immigrants it has. This article also

mentions the ambition most immigrants have when it came to the feeling behind most

immigrants. The article mentions “people who are willing to leave a country and try in a foreign

company are the most ambitious and willing to take risks and a result tend to be the more

dynamic part of the workforce.” This strive of ambition, and neediness to work is what makes

America what it is today. Lasty the last article states that immigrants do not come to steal jobs,

they come to do the jobs many american citizens are unwilling to do. It states “However,
undocumented workers often work the unpleasant, back-breaking jobs that native-born workers

are not willing to do.” This proves that immigrants don't steal jobs like many against

immigration believe. Immigrants have played a major role in many industries like stated in the

article “They account for around a quarter of entrepreneurs and a quarter of investors in the U.S.

and that over one third of new firms have at least one immigrants entrepreneur in its initial

leadership team.” Through all the articles the main points the articles have is that immigrants

have positively impacted the economy of the U.S. The ambitious and the strive to work hard

allows many mexican immigrants to work hard allowing for an increase in the us economy. They

give the understanding that many mexican immigrants come for a better future. Strive to provide

for their families and bring goods to their family and themselves in their hometown. Ppi,
