Persuasive Essay

American society should recognize what immigrants bring to this country and they should give immigrants a chance to prove themselves as hard working people looking for a new start and better life for them and their families. The American society should appreciate all the hard work immigrants do for this country and they should recognize that they are here just to help the community and not to harm anyone. They should also see what immigrants have done to get here. All the harsh conditions in which they work and the low income that they get paid is not right.

The government considers some immigrants as criminals because they come to this country with no permission. They are not criminals, just people like anyone else. They come to this country escaping harsh poverty and even the high criminal rates in their country. Some also escape dictatorships or maybe even wars going on in their countries. I think those who are here are here to better themselves and not threaten anyone else, and should be allowed to stay and not be returned to the problems going on in their native country.

Immigrants play an important part in the American society. They are the hardiest working people who do the jobs that most Americans wouldn’t do. It’s either too disgusting or too intense, and many Americans would not last long at these jobs. The immigrants work jobs in which they get paid a very low income or the conditions of the working environment are very harsh or dangerous.
The types of jobs that immigrants do rarely is done by the American citizens are construction work in which they are always at risk of accidents and they work on the hottest days of the year. The immigrants also do poultry jobs like hanging dead chickens and other type of disgusting jobs which no one else will do. Another type of job they do which is also harsh is the landscaping jobs like cutting grass and laying down sod.
Those jobs are really harsh because in construction they face many risks like falling off the buildings, having something fall on them or even getting heat strokes. In poultry plants they risk being cut by the machines or getting stuck in one, and in landscaping they risk of something happening to them while on the lawnmower. Those are the risk that immigrants take to earn an honest living in the community.
American society should let the immigrants stay in the country, give them permission to work legally so they will stop risking their lives to earn an honest living. Immigrants have contributed a lot to this country over the years. This country was built of immigrants from all parts of the world, because this is the land where dreams would come true for most people trying to better themselves. Even though the society is trying to get rid of the immigrants in the country, they don’t recognize that without immigrants the country wouldn’t be here. At least try to give them a chance.
