Immigration, always a topic for debate in
America and a gloomy issue when spoke about. In Viceroy Vera blog, it jumps right
into depth about America’s views on immigration and the pursuit of happiness
which is the America Dream. The article is well-written and has some inserting
points. The fact that he has a perspective outlook and a living
experience on the immigration outcry in America from his parents because, he
can visual see the stress, frustration, and fear in his parents eyes leaving a vivid
image. “They remain in fear but why should they? Why is it that an immigrant's
greatest fear is being deported thus losing everything they’ve ever achieved?”
Asking the legitimate questions that no one can seems to have a straight and
reasonable answer for. My only criticism on the article would be what are the most
desirable reasons for immigration in America? Is it for wages or education? Why
is immigration still an issue today? Also, adding a foreigner’s perspective
from a different country on immigration working in America on possibly a work visa or
gaining citizenship in marriage.
This blog post was appealing for a couple of reasons and one of the reasons is I would like to shed some light on is the distance foreign countries like for example Middle East (Iran) and most of Asia (Vietnam, Japan, Philippines). The employer I work for has a vast diversity of multicultural backgrounds from all over the world but most notably the ones mentioned above. I’m very intrigue to learn the process from which they came over to America legally on a work visa or in marriage, I'm sure it's story never the less because they’re traveling from the other side of the world only seeing and hearing about America on T.V or in movies. The foreigner’s that I’ve had the chance to work with one on one all have the same similar pursuit which is chasing the America dream. While, most of the foreigner’s I have work with have all been marry to an America citizen making them qualified to get their permanent residences in the United States (Green card). “The term derives from the availability of permanent resident documents ("Green card") for spouses of legal residents in the United States, where marriage is one of the fastest and surest ways to obtain legal residence.” The immigrated foreigner’s are always looking behind their back and living in fear of being deported back even if they have a green card. I have work with one of the workers from Iran on a 2 year term work visa, his story is very interesting but also very long wouldn’t be able to fit it on this blog and what I mean about interesting is how incredibly difficult it is to get a work visa, the steps he took, and also how America/Embassy hand picks the candidates that are eligible for a work visa.

The definition of immigration “is
the movement of people into a destination country which they are not natives of
or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle or reside there,
especially as permanent residents or naturalized citizens, or to take-up employment
as a migrant worker or temporarily as a foreign worker.” Why do we have immigration in America? Well one
of the biggest reason is for economic reasons wage rates are higher in America.
What one foreigner can make in America they can support multiple things like living
situation, family, things abroad in their home country that they couldn’t do financially
back home. Education is a second reason why we have immigration in America and isn’t
spoke about as much because a lot of us don’t see international students as immigrants
some might but most likely not. Immigration is a strong topic of choice and a very debatable one at that with a ton of issues and stories to cover maybe that's why it's been a never ending battle in America.
