Will the legalization of illegal immigrants pose a threat to American society?

Hello, it is an indisputable fact that Americans' views on the legalization of undocumented immigrants have deteriorated. A few days ago, the borders of several States in the United States were caught in the plight of undocumented immigrant children. It is reported that President Obama will consider bypassing Congress, relaxing the immigration policy, issuing work permits to 5 million undocumented immigrants, and delaying the expulsion of some undocumented immigrants. It gives great hope to many undocumented immigrants and their relatives, but it is not optimistic for the United States. According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll, more than 70% people are deeply worried that undocumented immigrants entering the United States will threaten the economy, culture and lifestyle of the United States.

According to a survey conducted by the Pew Center in March this year, 73% of Americans are willing to support the provision of legal status for undocumented immigrants as long as they meet certain requirements. Among the respondents, 8 1% Democrats, 74% independents, 64% Republicans and Republicans support this view, and only 24% respondents oppose it. In the recent British/Ipsos poll mentioned above, 86% of the 70% who are worried that undocumented immigrants threaten the United States are Republicans. In other words, among the Republicans surveyed, 64% are deeply worried that undocumented immigrants may threaten the United States. Comparing the two polls, it is obvious that Republicans are more opposed to the legalization of undocumented immigrants. This is not good news for the immigration reform that President Obama is trying to implement.

There are 1 1.5 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, mostly Hispanic, including undocumented immigrants from Mexico and other Latin American countries. Asians, including Chinese, account for a small proportion. Although it has been reported recently that the news of possible amnesty in American immigration reform and the surge of illegal immigrants from central China seem to have once again aroused the concern of illegal immigrants in the United States, the number of illegal immigrants in China in fiscal year 20 14 has increased significantly compared with fiscal year 20 13. According to the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), from June 20 13 to July 20/20 14, * * * 1443 China citizens were arrested for illegally entering the US border, and 953 people were arrested in just 20 13 years. Another 65,438+0,803 China citizens surrendered or were arrested at the US ports of entry. Even so, compared with illegal immigrants from Central and South America, the number of illegal immigrants from China is still very small.

Generally speaking, the Chinese community has a bad impression of undocumented immigrants. Many legal immigrants living in the United States often think that illegal undocumented Chinese immigrants have a negative effect on the overall image of Chinese. Due to the rise of China and the rapid economic development, the number of undocumented immigrants who came to the United States illegally due to livelihood problems has been greatly reduced. In recent years, thousands of tourists from China have flocked to the United States for sightseeing, and it is rare to hear about the plane jumping. More China people enter the United States through legal channels such as studying abroad, working and emigrating. For Chinese who have already lived in the United States, they are more concerned about legal immigrants than undocumented immigrants.

The Chinese community has many opinions on some immigration projects discussed by the US Congress. One is that Obama may adopt a similar Amnesty for illegal immigrants. China people think that many relatives, including international students, immigrate to the United States through legal channels, and they still need to wait for the schedule or wait for the lottery of H 1B visa quota. Amnesty for undocumented immigrants is unfair to legal immigrants. Another opinion is that * * * and the party proposed to cancel some relatives' immigration, which will be a heavy blow to the Chinese community who pay attention to family ties.

Chinese themselves are ethnic minorities, and they are not as sensitive as mainstream society to whether undocumented immigrants will threaten or change American society, economy, culture or lifestyle. However, in addition to thinking that the Amnesty for undocumented immigrants is unfair to legal immigrants, they are also worried about whether undocumented immigrants, mainly Hispanics, will affect the interests of Chinese. Take California for example. In California, Hispanic groups and many of them are actively involved in politics. Once the SCA5 proposal, which involves racial discrimination against Chinese, has a great impact on Chinese children's further education, once it enters the referendum, Hispanics will have a vote that Chinese can't match. If more undocumented immigrants are legalized and hold votes, it will obviously be unfavorable to Chinese on some issues with conflicts of interest. Of course, the fact that there are more Chinese than Hispanics does not mean that Chinese can give up. In any case, China people should actively participate in politics, participate in various elections and safeguard their own interests through various channels.

Hope to adopt thank you! Our skilled immigrants in Canada are RMB 300,000, and there is no charge for failure! !
