The fight against immigration is a hot-button topic, which is inherently prevalent in the United States and in European nations that experience high surge of illegal and legal immigrants.
This issue has a significant political impact, given the effects of immigration on the host and home nations. Immigration is defined as the inherent migration of people for various reasons from one country to another. The opposition against immigration emanates from principal concerns on economic costs, negative environmental consequences as a result of accelerated human population growth, national identity distortion, and high crime rates. In 1921, the Congress in U.S. enacted a law, which quantified on the immigrants number allowed into the nation in a year. This further compounded the problem of illegal immigrants as many people strove to enter the country and be counted among immigrants allowed into the nation. Today, close to 10 million immigrants reside in the US, which significantly exerts pressure on the social amenities among other services. The budget is prepared considering the number of people available but immigrants entering a country and in great numbers affect the provision of services. Therefore, unchecked immigration has had significant impacts on political, socio-cultural, and economic effects on the host and home countries.
Fight against immigration continues to gain support from many quarters. Immigrants, whether illegal or legal, represent a number that cannot be budgeted for as they are in transition. The available social amenities like health care, education, and housing facilities become inadequate, and the services given tend to be of low quality. Building of houses, schools, and health centers considers the available population as beneficiaries. Not all people will get these services, which leads to street families, high illiteracy levels, and development of slums (Azarnet 1341). Immigration also causes overcrowding and long queues in the medical facilities because the immigrants were not considered when the community facilities were constructed. Furthermore, the patient and doctor ratio is impossible to maintain, given the case of illegal immigrants, which increases anytime and without notice. The immigrants’ children deserve an education like other children. The community also feels threatened because the facilities cannot meet their needs. The schools are not spared as the equilibrium is seriously upset. The children of immigrants automatically achieve the status of citizens because they are born and registered in the host nation. Just like the health facilities, the ratio of teacher-pupil is extremely imbalanced as many pupils are not accounted for when these teachers are posted (Villalón 68).
