Immigration has always been a significant part of United States History, and has refelected many different attitudes among the people of the U.S. There has always been a great opposition to immigration. I feel that part of the reason for this is that people are afraid that their opportunities for prosperity will be taken from new waves of immigrants entering the country. This is evident when the Irish came to the U.S. and faced discrimination while trying to find work. This is because all immigrants come for ultimately the same reason: to gain opportunity for a better life than their home country. However, current citizens that are against new people coming to the U.S. should realize that they have the opportunity to be here because someone in their family stepped up and came to the U.S. for the better of their family. Therefore, they should not deny it from others.
Immigratoin is what provides the backbone of the country. I am here because my grandparents came from Ireland. If they hadn't faced discrimination and stayed here, I wouldnt have the opportunities that I do today. After hearing their story, I was able to see that immigration is what made up so much of our country. They took all the hard jobs and grind that peoplealready here wouldn't do. This is a major reason why even today we should accept the people that want to come to our country because it can help us in the long run.
