Why are so many immigrants coming to the United States?

Answer 1

Immigrant's have always come to the U.S.
It's only an issue now for political reasons..
But they come because of propanganda..
The U.S. is "the land of opportunity"
They are looking for a better life...
Most of them anyways..

Answer 2

The wealth redistribution systems in their home countries are just plain broken, and population is being produced at a rate greater than infrastructure is being built to support the population.

In some countries, there is a perception that a better life can be found in the USA, even for a new immigrant, than can be had at home. To some, this becomes a motivating factor to leave home and go to USA.

Answer 3

Why not?? Many Americans are coming to Europe too and live there too...people have several reasons...work, need asylum, their spouse lives there...who knows? Immigrants are what makes the US diverse, which is a good thing!!!

And it is an arrogant statement to say that the US is the best place on this planet earth.....every been outside of it????? Probably not!

Answer 4

Because we subsidize the bulk of the cost of education and other services for poor people in this country even if they pay all taxes. That and our better economy makes poor people in other countries where their governments don't pay for universal education want to come here.

They are looking for a better life. However, it is at the expense of our own children's education and at the expense of health and other services for our sick and elderly.

Only employers who get cheap labor benefit.

We can't take on the poor of the world. We need limited immigration laws that protect our education and services, and we need to enforce those laws.

Because our current domestic and foreign policy doesn't include enough enforcement to stop them. Also, there's the draw of jobs and free benefits. America's been 'outsourced', if you're a US citizen, it sucks to be you....
