Limiting Immigration

In the early 20th century, the immigration debate began. Many people felt immigration should be limited; others felt it should open to all.
Argument in favor of limiting immigration:
Immigration needs to be limited so the people already in America can become "pure" Americans.
Only immigrants who fit in and can contribute to the American character should be allowed to immigrate.
Argument against limiting immigration:
America is a melting pot, where all races from all countries come together and melt into Americans.

America gives everyone a fresh start, and every person deserves the opportunity for that fresh start.

  2. I disagree,I think that immigration should not be limited because what was said in the argument was and is true. According to the text "America is a melting pot" I agree with this statement because America is all about having different kind of people and their cultures. America is diversed. Everyone should be able to have a new start and another chance. Immigration should not be limited.

    3. I disagree. Immigration should be limited because the United states does not have unlimited space, and you never know what they are capable of, or what their intentions are.

  3. There are many ways to explain why immigration should not be limited.It should not be limited because immigrates want to start a new life but they can not because they would be on Angel island for two weeks or two years of waiting to get into the united states.They would be waiting but when they arrive they would have no job but would try hard to get a jib so they can stay here for better life.That is why immigration should not be limited. -David 813

  4. i think that immigration shouldn't be limited. The reason to that is because America is a place where different type of races from all countries come to be part of America and melt into Americans. Besides in America it have a better life then the immigrants did back at home and give a fresh new start in life.

  9. Immigration shouldn't be limited because like they said America is a melting pot. The melting pot is when immigrants come to America and become pure Americans. In the argument that favor limiting the amount of immigrants, they stated "Immigration needs to be limited so the people already in America can become 'pure' Americans."I disagree with what they said because most people that is already in America isn't a "pure" America since most of them are immigrates. In addition, most people who come to America becomes "pure" Americans eventually. I also agree with the fact that America gives every immigrant a fresh start to their new lives. Like the Declaration of Independence said "All men shall be equal", so giving everyone a new start is fair.:)

  10. Immigration should not be limited because immigrants can help build America. Immigrants deserve the opportunity to have a fresh start on getting a better life and job so they can support their family. According to the article above" America is a melting pot, where all races from all countries come together and melt into Americans." This statement tells me that America have all kind of cultures in it and that people from different countries should be allowed to come.

  12. Immigration should not be limited because everyone should have the opportunity to have a fresh start. According to the article "where all races from all countries come together and melt into Americans" I agree with this statement because every immigrants that come into America from different cultures/countries people are always going to be races to one another from differences. Everyone should have the opportunity to have a fresh start and immigration should not be limited.
