Is Immigration good for the United States?

cyberdroid_2000

We are all immigrants, only the Indians were natives but with the Indians would been no cars, no roads, no planes, no tv, no nothing, so our descendants came and built this country from scratches to be the greatest in the world..â˜º

But Wait! There's More!

It was good for me!

Yes immigrants built this country.

Controlled, legal immigration is a good thing, uncontrolled illegal immigration is a very bad thing.

Yes...legal immigration. Healthcare and education already take such a chunk from taxpayers, illegal immigrants strain an already broken system. I have nothing against the people looking for a better life, but not at the expense of tax paying citizens.

Mr. US of A, Baby!

No, I don't believe it is......Not anymore! Actually, I'd like to see some migration now.........That would be good for everyone.

Less traffic, shorter lines, better service.......I'd like that.

If there were no illegal immigrants in the United States, how would the economy be? People are so lazy these days, who would fill in all there jobs?I don't think anybody will.

It is fine for the country it is just the aliens that are trying to sneak in.

Legal immigration, yes. This country was founded by immigrants.

It was good for me too, but we already completed the ethnic scavenger hunt.

Amanda SSS

yes and no....depends on if they are here to do good and if they are going to keep money in our economy or send it home.

Mendi8a

absolutely.

Yes, very good, this country is built on LEGAL immigrants.

I believe that legal immigration is beneficial in some ways, and not so great in other ways. Immigration can bring so much culture and ideas into this country. But land and resources are getting scarcer, and that's not good. Plus, illegal immigration is causing problems as well.

Of course it's good...when ppl are legal and PAY THEIR TAXES!!!!

Immigration is good, illegla immigration is not. Illegal immigrants don't want to be part of this country, they just want what this country has to offer.

nooooooo

It depends. If it is done legally...yes. If it is not...NO. Legally it is very helpful. This helps keep jobs filled that lazy Americans think they are too good to do. This is also a good way to increase social security, if more people put money in, logically, it means that more people will benefit. If immigration is not done legally I think we may as well just send our paychecks to a stranger in another country. when people don't enter the U.S. correctly, they have problems getting work, paying bills and receiving proper medical attention, so Americana's end up paying for these things for immigrants and not for misfortune Americans.

Immigration once was good for America. It brought in different cultures, different ways of thinking. Then came the mass illegal immigration from the Latin American countries, mostly from Mexico. Now immigration, legal AND illegal, is a burden on the USA. ALL immigration should be halted until every illegal immigrant is removed from USA soil and this country has had a chance to get our economy and soaring taxes under control!!!! imho

Immigration is what made the US great. Take a look at the famous people who have made contributions to the economy, culture and welfare of the US in everything from entertainment to economics.
The fuss about illegal immigrants is hard to understand. If these people were not needed in the US, and if they were not rewarded for being there (by being given jobs) there would be no illegal immigration. But the fact is, the US needs them, and needs them desperately. If all illegal immigrants were sent home, the economy would collapse.
What is required is an improved visa system, which would allow workers to come in to the country, and then to return home. Many, if not most, don't want to give up their citizenship, nor do they want to leave their homeland on a permanent basis. What they do want is to make enough money to support their families. If that means they travel to the US to work in the fields, or at whatever other jobs they take, then that is what they will do. But they want to go home at the end of the term.
A worker visa system would allow them to do that. The present system simply forces them to go into hiding and to stay in the US, as crossing back and forth from their homeland to their work site simply increases their chances of being caught and deported.

Legal immigration ,Yes! Alot of immigrants buy or open businesses that bring alot of money in for our economy! Alot of other legal immigrants work hard for their place of work because they came here to work and earn their slice of the American Pie!
So it's funny that mostly lazy americans say " Keep american jobs for americans!"

AdamKadmon

Without Immigration, only the Native Americans would be here. So no, immigration is not good for Native Americans, but it is good for America!

angel1923_2005

Yes, it is great for me! My husband is Mexican! Welcome all Immigrants!

worldwidewebb01

Immigration ruined America-- just ask the native americans...

Nina Karina

Yes, immigration is good for any country. America is built of immigrants. I don't think Native Americans could of make this country a success.

If it weren't for immigration to the United States, you would probably be speaking another language, living a meagre existence somewhere in Europe.
