Immigration into the USA 11:30 by Ramiro Luna Rivera https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko Post a view on at least three statements en-us 2019-10-17 22:55:35 UTC 2026-02-02 01:06:53 UTC hello@padlet.com There is definitely a clear line. Immigrants that specifically go to the US to study in college are likely to take good jobs from U.S. citizens if they are more qualified. However, if immigrant families emigrate to the US, it is likely that the jobs they take will not be good jobs. This is most likely because they still need to adapt to the English language and the only way to earn basic money is to work odd jobs. wuj5820 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400971489 2019-10-22 16:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400971489 Be https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400971718 2019-10-22 16:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400971718 I believe it's used as an excuse to citezens getting worse jobs than immigrants just so they can get a better job and benefit from it. However on occasion I can see how they can be seen as taking jobs from citizens henschela1653 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400971754 alianna]]> 2019-10-22 16:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400971754 yug2398 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972015 1. While they don't pay taxes, they don't cause any significant burden on the national economy. The government has enough money and are gonna be in debt (trillions) anyway. That's just how the U.S. does things in politics.
2. Clearly taxes are a problem for many people, so the fact that undocumented people don't pay taxes makes them think it is majorly significant.
3. The government who gets tax money from documented immigrants]]> 2019-10-22 16:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972015 Zeke https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972043 1. I think that most of the people immigrating to the USA are good and just want to get away from their home country but every now and then there are bad people that come to the USA to commit an act of terrorism or something violent. So for the most part this is not the case.
2.This myth probably comes from the multiple acts of terrorism committed in the USA by immigrants in the past and so people assume that immigrants are some of the worst people.
3. People in the USA benefit from this myth because they have somebody to blame for terrorist acts.]]> 2019-10-22 16:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972043 1. Banning people from our country will not help protect us from terrorists. Terrorists will enter the country illegally if they want to enter and banning innocent people will not help keep them out. -Maddie Mertz https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972259 2019-10-22 16:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972259 Will https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972261 I think that there are more illegal immigrants than than legal. i think it comes from the media and the news reporters befits from it to get more interest form the people.  ]]> 2019-10-22 16:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972261 Bella https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972271 While a lot of immigrants come to the US looking for work, most of the time they dont look to directly steal jobs from citizens. Lots of immigrants posses skills in order to obtain jobs in the US and some of them do a better job then US citizens but a lot of the factors depend on age and how long people have been working in that company. This comes from people who have experience with losing jobs to immigrants and the people that benefit from this are usually immigrants.]]> 2019-10-22 16:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972271 I don't think this is true at all because although there is a possibility of bringing in terrorists if we don't ban them, there is a greater chance that Americans will cause destruction. I think this myth comes from people not being familiar with people from other countries and being scared because of that. No one really benefits from this, but I'd say mainly Americans since it is their decision, or at least they think it will benefit them. billadeaul3375 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972431 2019-10-22 16:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972431 Linh L luongl2130 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972578 1. I think this is very wrong. I myself was born outside of the U.S and moved here when I was young and became a citizen. My family and I have yet to commit a crime and a lot of crimes (such as school shootings) are done by those who were born in the U.S. Violence is everywhere and those inside the country aren't any better than those outside just because they were born in a certain place.There will always be people who immigrate to the U.S due to a natural disaster or war and those people are just everyday citizens who have done nothing wrong; they were just living their normal lives until someone/something comes along and disrupt their normal routine. 
2. I think the myth comes from those who are xenophobic and don't trust those who aren't the same race or ethnicity as them and from the terrorist attacks by extremists.
3. The people who benefit from this myth are the xenophobic and don't want those born outside of the U.S to come and migrate in. They want to keep people out of their country so they label everyone from the outside as evil and violence. ]]> 2019-10-22 16:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972578 Dana https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972702 1. As a Muslim, I don't think this is true at all. If terrorists wanted to enter the country, they would do so illegally. This doesn't protect us but rather creates anger towards innocent people who are being affected by the ban. 
2. This comes from people who are unable to accept others from different places which creates fear as well as arrogant people.
3. I'm not exactly sure but I feel like people think that they're benefiting from this but in reality they're not. ]]> 2019-10-22 16:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972702 wildr3502 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972715 1) I think that many Americans, specifically those of lower incomes are afraid of losing their jobs to immigrants, many of which will work for lower pay, even if it is illegal. However, I don't think that is is fair to discriminate against a substantial group of people.
2) There is a significant amount of people in our country who are afraid of change and want to keep things the same. Many of these people do not recognize that America is a country of immigrants, and that their own ancestors entered the country for the same reasons modern immigrants do; for freedom and opportunity.
3) Specifically people working in labor-intensive jobs benefit from this myth because many immigrants take jobs withing this category upon entering the country.]]> 2019-10-22 16:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972715 Christian https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972774 1. I think that if immigrants worked harder than the other people that wanted a good job than they would get that job.
2. They might come from the people that didn't get the job and a immigrant got it over that person.
3. immigrants benefit more because if other people hear that immigrants get all the good jobs they would come over here to get a good job, and we wouldn't benefit from this because they would be getting all the good jobs so we would only have bad jobs]]> 2019-10-22 16:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972774 Areeb https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972844 This is half right in that immigrants do take good jobs, but immigrants are only imported if there are jobs available through the H-1B visa. This law ensures that skilled worker gaps are filled as we are having a worker shortage in the status quo. Immigrants literally can't take good jobs. What is needed to know is that someone can't just enter in. Immigrants come in through visa systems such as H-1B and F-1 that ensures that no jobs are taken. No one really benefits from this and I wouldn't call it a myth, but more of an idea that is just misinformed. Overall, immigrants take good jobs, but not from Americans. ]]> 2019-10-22 16:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400972844 stephensa9606 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400973223 1. I believe that this is not true, as a majority of our country's violence stems from our own citizens. 
2. I think it stems from terrorist attacks, like 9/11
3. I'm not sure. Maybe the government?]]> 2019-10-22 16:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400973223 Katie S solodark1853 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400973249 when people hear this, they usually think of people crossing illegally at the Mexican border because of the high media attention there, but most immigrants come here legally, and most illegal immigrants have been living in the U.S. but their visas or permits or green cards have expired and they are struggling to gain citizenship. The myth comes from fear of "others" and a desire to cut off immigrants from the southern border]]> 2019-10-22 16:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400973249 1. It is factual that undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes, but that doesn't necessarily make them a burden on the national economy. They are buying products like food, which ultimately is benefiting the economy. 2. However, it is not right that some people are paying taxes for services like hospitals or fire departments while some people are not, but both benefit from the services. 3. People who want immigrants to become documented benefit from this idea because it portrays undocumented immigrants in a bad light but not documented immigrants reinl4507 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400973504  ]]> 2019-10-22 16:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400973504 I do not think that immigrants take good jobs from U.S. citizens because I believe that they work just as hard as U.S. citizens to be able to get jobs. And maybe even harder considering the fact that they are immigrants. I think that if they do take good jobs, then they probably have earned it because of the effort they have put in to be able to have that particular job. I honestly do not know where this myth comes from, but if it were true I believe that immigrants might benefit from it because they are the people supposedly getting good jobs.

While immigrants do get jobs in the united states, they are not a problem to people who have higher jobs. Unless the immigrant has a degree relating to their job, they are not taking away jobs from US citizens. They are just working hard. ]]> 2019-10-22 16:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400973790 rosenbergj4786 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400973920 1. I disagree with this statement. Immigrants usually take lower paying jobs that Americans don't want, like jobs in agriculture.
2. This myth comes from the fact that immigrants are able to find work relatively easily, because they have lower job standards than a natural-born American. Natural-born Americans look for better paying jobs, so there is more competition for more lucrative positions, meaning not everyone gets a good paying job, or a job at all. The people who miss out on these jobs take out their frustration on immigrants, which is where this rumor comes from. 
3. The only people who benefit from this myth are people who are xenophobic.

I do not believe this is a true statement, as I personally am a part of many immigrant communities, being the son of immigrants, and have found that some of the greatest people I know are immigrants.
2. I believe this statement comes from a deep, hateful, nativist philosophy.
3. Those who benefit are those who do not want societal progression and change, and would much rather stay in their sheltered little so-called "American" bubble.]]> 2019-10-22 16:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400974090 andersonc7112 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400974423 1. I disagree with the statement that Immigrants take good jobs from US Citizens. Many immigrants work making below minimum wage, something most US citizens would protest against. 
2. I think this myth comes from US citizens trying to justify their unsuccessful careers in a country they were born in, while also justifying their discrimination against people of color.

1. I do not have an opinion on it. It is not a true statement.
2. The myth comes from political divide and the spreading of the truth. The right will want you to believe that most are illegal, and the left will want you to believe its false.

I wouldnt say that the worst people are coming because there are plenty of very good people that come into the US and benefit our economy.

2. Illegal immigration make the news, legal migration doesn't.
3. Proponents of curtailing all immigration -- illegal immigration and decreasing the level of immigration should be separate issues.

The word "worst" is super subjective, and this is misleading. People who come from other countries don't bring crime and violence most of the time, and crime and violence in the US usually doesn't originate from the immigrants. If anything, it contradicts other myths because those imply that immigrants would want to lay low so they don't have to "pay taxes" or stuff like that. 
2. People see the crime and violence in other countries and assume that immigrants from those countries are always going to be like them.

Non-immigrants would be trusted more than immigrants because of this myth, allowing them access to better homes or neighborhoods, work opportunities, or education.]]> 2019-10-22 16:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400975354 I honestly don't think immigrants take good jobs from U.S. citizens because they have to undergo interviews and stuff that prevents them from taking another person's job if they are not qualified and the government has certain regulations immigrants have to surpass to be able to work without stripping jobs from U.S. citizens billadeaul3375 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400976126 2019-10-22 16:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400976126 In my opinion, this is not correct because people from other countries are trying to leave and get away from violence and crime not bring it with them. I think this myth comes from the fact these people do come from countries that have lots of violence and crime, people assume that it means they are violent. Anyone who isn't an immigrant benefits from it pretty much because it gives them just that much more to say about someone to make them "higher". henschela1653 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400976148 alianna]]> 2019-10-22 16:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400976148 marxs2681 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400976169 1. nope, not even

People who are jobless benefit from this statement because if someone feels like this is true then they could take immigrants out of their low paying jobs and give jobless Americans jobs.]]> 2019-10-22 16:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400977897 wildr3502 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978011 1) This policy is one born of fear and cowardice. Banning entire regions from entering the US does not solve any problems. First of all, it is showing terrorists that we are afraid, and that we are bowing to their will. Second of all, terrorism is an issue of mental health, not one of religion. 
2) Many Americans are afraid of people who are different from themselves. This myth is a reflection of that desperation and fear.
3) People in power use myths like this to fester anger and support in many Americans]]> 2019-10-22 16:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978011 harterr1398 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978018 1. I'm not entirely sure that immigrants would be taking 'good jobs' from U.S citizens. This statement is way to broad. For example if you are referring to illegal immigrants, the chance of them having a degree and being able to become an attorney for example are honestly pretty low. But immigrants who are educated and have a degree could become an attorney, and it is an EQUAL race to get there in our society. U.S citizens are just as capable of earning a living as immigrants are, No one is stealing any one person's jobs, just some are faster to get to it. You have to take into account low income areas and that it is hard to gauge that someone living in east Detroit would have a harder time than in immigrant.

This statement contradicts the one on the left, unless the worst people can get the best jobs.
2. Fearmongers always use this statement to make other afraid of immigrants.

2. This myth comes from a simple generalization that Islam breeds terrorism. Rather than treating Muslims as individual people or simply as human, some people judge the entire religion off of the actions of a few radical members.
3. The only people that benefit are Islamaphobes. They benefit from this myth because it upholds their core beliefs.]]> 2019-10-22 16:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978253 andersonc7112 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978389 1. Most people coming to the united states are fleeing violence and war, so there is no reason they would want to recreate that in their new home. 
2. I think this myth comes from people who want to create a bad reputation for immigrants so that a majority is in favor of their deportation
3. Non-immigrants could benefit from this myth as they would be deemed more trustworthy and have a better reputation than those seen as violent criminals.]]> 2019-10-22 16:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978389 This myth is derived from islamaphobic rhetoric repeatedly spewed by the current administration and its' supporters. the US has a responsibility to take in refugees from countries where we are displacing people with our weapons and warfare, but the president is using fear to make himself a strong leader taking down bad people and gain votes solodark1853 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978435 2019-10-22 16:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978435 It is true that they may not pay taxes, however they do have to get food from somewhere and the money they are using to obtain that food goes to the government. This concept is not restricted to food, it also goes for clothing and other goods that will make an impact on the economy, even if they aren't paying taxes. billadeaul3375 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978532 2019-10-22 16:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978532 Define good, define take rend5419 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978537 1. It's certainly true that immigrant populations are employed in the United States. Whether or not these jobs are "taken" may vary by industry and location. In general, I believe that immigrants take lower-paying jobs than native-born Americans would shun.
2. A historical nativist narrative where immigrants replaced native-born factory workers, because immigrants didn't strike and were willing to work no matter what.

The news exemplifies terrorist attacks,but in reality, there really arent that many. wuj5820 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978583 This myth comes from 9/11 when terrorists crashed planes into the twin towers. 

No one really benefits from this myth except other immigrants. If the US are banning immigrants from certain countries, that means that immigrants from other countries that aren't majority-Muslim will have a better chance of being accepted into the US]]> 2019-10-22 16:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978583 leew1488 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400978641 1. Correlation does not imply causation. Just because of the 9/11 attacks doesn't mean that all Muslims are terrorist or vice versa.
2. People who are overreacting from the 9/11 attacks and allow anti-Muslim feelings to fester in our community.

Naturally, employers will choose them. Documented immigrants and citizens are able to get higher paying jobs, because they are here legally, meaning the 'good' jobs are not threatened by undocumented immigrants because they need to avoid a lot of paperwork and red tape. reinl4507 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400979938 2019-10-22 16:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400979938 kuziezm2450 https://padlet.com/rluna_99/9ef3vy2dpcko/wish/400980281 1. Most immigrants are not here illegally, and that is the simple fact.
2. It comes from those who don't want immigrants to come and enrich American society, as the negative connotation of illegality being associated with immigrants promotes their ideology.

Most immigrants come here legally and illegal immigrants are a minority. I am not sure where this originated, but the claim is unpopular. This claim is misleading in that a lot of Americans know that most immigrants come here legally.

Most of the time, immigrants take the lowest-paying jobs in order to work and survive. The ones that do take the good jobs most likely deserve the most because of their merit. Companies will not hire an immigrant only because they're an immigrant, especially if their profit is on the line.

Technically everyone except the indigenous tribes here before us are immigrants, so no, most immigrants are not here illegally.

I disagree. The legal immigration system of the USA brings in the best and brightest from countries around the globe.
