I agree with my classmate’s opinion about immigrants. Recently, public figures have claimed that immigrants are “killers” and “rapists,” bringing crime to the U.S. That is simply wrong. Of course, there are people who are committed crimes, but most immigrants who come to this country work hard to take care of their families and themselves. Study after study has shown, however, that immigrants regardless of where they are from, what immigration status they hold, and how much education they have completed are less likely than native-born citizens to commit crimes or gotten to be imprisoned.
Studies have consistently found that immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than native-born Americans and that there is a negative link between levels of immigration and crime rates. Other studies have in fact found that crime rates are lowest in states with the most noteworthy movement development rates, which state with a bigger population of undocumented migrants tend to have lower crime rates than states with littler offers.
Some people also claim that immigrants are taking job opportunities away from people born in the U.S. Immigrants actually help to create new jobs. Beyond buying U.S. and local items, which make a difference make employments, immigrants often start their own businesses. Thus, states with large numbers of immigrants report lower unemployment rates for everyone. Immigrants also have a big contribution in the U.S. economy by paying taxes.

“Immigrants collectively pay between $90 and $140 billion each year in taxes, and a recent study found that undocumented immigrants alone pay approximately $11.64 billion in taxes each year. Moreover, undocumented immigrants nationwide pay an estimated 8 percent of their income in state and local taxes (their effective state and local tax rate), which is higher than the effective tax rate of the top 1 percent of all taxpayers in the U.S.”As my classmate mentioned in his blog, most immigrants come to the U.S. to change their lives, not to bring crimes.

I agree with them about the points they make about immigrants. They say how what it is "simply wrong" what people have been calling them and saying about them. That they're bringing in crime, they're killers, and rapist. I like how they prove facts about how immigrants are actually hard workers and come to the U.S. to work hard and care for their family. They also say how studies have showed that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes.
ReplyDeleteI agree and like this post a lot because it gives a lot information about immigrants how they're nice people and not the way people talk about them. I personally think immigrants aren't a big problem in the U.S. if they're not committing crimes. Studies shows that it is other races that commit more crimes in the U.S compared to immigrants.
Abortion is definitely a hot topic right now, just like Mekbeb Lemma mentioned in their article about it. Their article gives a brief history of abortion in the United States. Roe v. Wade was breaking news outlets back in 1973 especially for declaring abortion a right. They waste no time on giving some valid arguments in support of being pro-choice. First stating that the choice is up to the individual because we should not have the right to chose for someone else who is aware of the situation. The women's life can be at risk and some may put the unborn child's life above the dying lady. Finishing the article with how many unplanned or accidental pregnancies happen in the United States, and not everyone is ready for the challenges ahead.
ReplyDeleteWith the new laws that have affected several states, like Alabama, Ohio, and Missouri, which are banning abortions at an early time frame. They are also punishing those who seek abortions or use contraceptives. Overall the article does a good job on explaining to others why pregnancy decisions to be left to whoever is carrying the baby and not some entitled white men.
