Abstract
Every year, millions of people attempt to come to the US, whether to escape their country, to reunite with their family, or to live a better life. Unfortunately, only a small portion of them obtain a visa and a green card, and the ones who do have to wait many years to get it. In order to immigrate to the US, one must go through a very extensive process to become a permanent resident. Many are turned down because the immigration cap is very low, and the cost of permanent residence is very high. Because of this, immigration to the US is very hard and causes immigrants to get turned away. In order to solve this issue, some action could take place on a federal level and also by advocating for immigration, a human right.
Thesis
Many people who leave their countries to immigrate to the US for a new life must go through a very difficult process and are often rejected, so the US should make this process easier and accept more immigrants.
