Immigration. The topic that is on every American's mind.

  • "How does immigration to America affect me personally?"
  • "Is immigration beneficial to our society or is it detrimental?"
  • Some Americans are in favor of immigration and think, "Immigration is what America is based upon. We all descended from immigrants- Why, now, do we suddenly have a huge crisis concerning immigration?"
  • Others believe the complete opposite - that immigration is detrimental and harmful to society.
  • What is your opinion?
We hope to inform middle school and high school students about past and present immigration to the United States.  Another goal of this website is to make people aware of the impact immigrants have on the American society.  This website includes information about past mass immigration to America as well as measures that the United States has taken to regulate immigration.  Pros and cons that America faces because of immigration are also discussed.
After you have finished viewing our site, it is hoped you will have a better understanding of immigrants and their pursuit of the American Dream.
The people of America disagree about this topic.
