Argumentative essay in support of immigration
Immigration refers to the relocation of people from their native country to another country for the purpose of obtaining permanent residency. Immigration is not something new in America. It started way back in the first part of the 19th century from the 1880s to 1920. The reasons for immigration at that time and now are basically the same. Many immigrants come to the US seeking better economic prosperity, while some such as the pilgrims in 1600, came in such of freedom of worship (Daniels, Roger). From the 17th to 19th centuries, thousands of black slaves were shipped from Africa to the US against their will. Considering this, it is clear that no person apart from the Native Americans can claim to own America in exclusion of others. In fact, we have no definitive American culture. We are just a blend of so many other world cultures. This is what defines American greatness. Undocumented immigrants have contributed immensely to all the economic, social and political success we enjoy because of the positive input in all these spheres.
