You believe that limiting the influx of foreign nationals will protect domestic jobs, culture, and resources.
Anti-immigration is a political ideology that advocates for the reduction or cessation of immigration into a country. This ideology is often based on economic, cultural, or security concerns. Anti-immigration sentiments can be traced back to various periods in history and across different countries, reflecting the socio-political dynamics of the time.
In the economic context, anti-immigration sentiments often arise from the belief that immigrants take away jobs from native citizens or depress wages by accepting lower pay. This perspective is often fueled by periods of economic downtur…

What are some ways that you feel your personal freedom and choices might be impacted by immigration legislation?
@9JR69W54mos4MO
people gaining citizenship and voting to change things in our country
@9JR5XKN4mos4MO
i feel like other people dont have the same fairness as i do
@9JR5XCT4mos4MO
I feel my freedom would be expanded as more people would be allowed into the country.
@9JR65GQ4mos4MO
I feel like I am personally not affected, but as a child of immigrants, I do feel lesser than soemtimes.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If there was a class in high school focused on immigration stories, what topics would you want it to cover?
@9JH7YLJRepublican4mos4MO
@9JKXXTM4mos4MO
The effects on our countries, both the good and bad. They fill plenty of jobs we need to be done, and help our economy. However with a population intake, it could also cause inflation. It is a delicate line we have to walk. I would probably cover people who come here seeking salvation.
@9JKXK8KProgressive4mos4MO
the ecominics, jobs they occupy, beneficial parts and negatives
What are the problems with the border? Why is it such a difficult issue? What has been done to attempt to solve the problem?
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
If a friend spoke negatively about immigrants, how would you respond?
@9H86V6DPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
You don't know what people are going through and they might have wanted opportunity. They could have been running form something. You should respect them they ate people and deserve to get the same treatment as everyone.
@9H87ZKL6mos6MO
I would respond that their negative comments about immigrants are unnecessarily cruel and likely untrue. Immigrants seek the best life for themselves (just like everyone else) and found that immigrating to another country provided a better life, why should they be ridiculed and talked about negatively for that?
@9H876BSRepublican6mos6MO
I would say that not everyone had a choice, and sometimes its a matter between life and death
@9H873BD6mos6MO
Discuss why and tell them immigrants are human too and if they pay taxes they should eventually be granted citizenship
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What personal qualities do you think are important to have when discussing sensitive topics like immigration?
@9J7F6QM4mos4MO
@9J7DRTC4mos4MO
An open mind, understanding the issues and causes for someone to flee their own country.
@9J8KTBP4mos4MO
Legal, lawful immigration of people who want to adopt American principles and values as well as contribute as a responsible citizen are more than welcome to begin the process of becoming a citizen. Entering illegally shows a disregard for our laws and our values.
@9J7DTLX4mos4MO
everyone being a person has to count for something, we are all similar
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Reflecting on your family's history, how has migration—whether recent or generations back—shaped your life?
@9J6PSV24mos4MO
it hasnt really, most of my family was born in the U.S .
@9J6P5BX4mos4MO
It’s led me to meet a lot of good people and my people wouldn’t be here if not for migration.
@9J6NV7PRepublican4mos4MO
I’m not anti-immigrantion I just want it to be done legally
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Do you think your culture is threatened by people coming from different countries, or enriched by them?
@9H7VYC5Progressive6mos6MO
Culture coming from different countries enriches the American culture
@9H7WGQVPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
ENRICHED! The same people complaining about immigration WERE immigrants; and they came to North America feeling entitled to this land and the new opportunity due to oppression of religious rights; but won't accept people who are literally running for their lives.
@9H7X7SXWomen’s Equality6mos6MO
I feel That there is no risk to our culture at all and if anything it does enrich us as a whole. The more people from different cultures the more knowledge we have as people and knowledge is power.
@9H7W9MG6mos6MO
i think it is enriched, the US is already filled with so many different cultures so why would it hurt us more.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If you discovered your ancestors were immigrants, would that change your perspective on contemporary immigration?
@9JJD9DK 4mos4MO
My father is an immigrant. He came to the US at 20 as a college student. Legally. Just follow the law and get citizenship the proper way, and I believe you have just as much of a right to be here as anyone else
@9JJD6LFConstitution4mos4MO
My grandparents are immigrants and we should not be taking anyone else into this country unless they are skilled and are considered an asset to this country.
@9JJD2HR4mos4MO
No. Everyone from the U.S. except for the Native Americans are technically immigrants from England. Therefore, with how watered down our bloodlines are now a days, everyone has someone in their lineage that wasn't born in the united states at one point or another.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Do you believe immigrants should adapt to the local culture, or should diversity be embraced equally?
@9H85SLF6mos6MO
I believe that a country (like the US) which is all about diversity and multi-cultural beliefs, should be embraced equally but if a country is known for having set rules and doesn't like diversity then you have to follow that culture. Out of respect for them and respect for yourself.
@9H84YNY6mos6MO
Immigrants shouldn't be forced to abandon their culture after moving to a new country, their cultured should be embraced.
@9H85H4T6mos6MO
I believe diversity should be embraced among all cultures within the United States.
@9H86DPQ 6mos6MO
The point of America is to be free so who are we to make others change their religious and culture to fit in with us?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Is unity within diversity a realistic goal for our society, and how can it be achieved in the face of anti-immigration sentiment?
@9HCSJJM6mos6MO
I don't know if it is realistic for complete unity. I think as a country we can work to improve our unity.
@9HCS9CK6mos6MO
if we can ever fully accept everyone for who they are no matter where they stay then maybe we could have no anti immigration laws
@9HCSH7T6mos6MO
It is not a realistic goal because I think no matter what, diversity will cause disagreement and racial discrimination.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What is the difference between protecting one's culture and excluding others, and where should the line be drawn?
@9HF2RDR6mos6MO
The difference between protecting one's culture and outright excluding others is as simple as whether or not you allow immigrants to legally become citizens and reside in your country. If you don't give them equal opportunities, especially after they become citizens, that is not protecting one's culture, that is discrimination.
@9HF255F6mos6MO
dont let the illegal immagrants take our jobs, money, housing, etc. just because they are a minority, instead give them an equal opportunity.
@9HDZTSZ6mos6MO
The line should be drawn where the border is. It is not the U.S's problem if people from different countries are trying to come in from their poor, scary country.
