US Immigration has become a very important issue for American citizens and those individuals or families wishing to come to America. Since the establishment of the first colonies in America, there have been immigrants desperately desiring their chance at freedom. Elis Island was, for many, a portal to a new life through which they would pass and begin their journey. Hundreds of thousands of individuals fled persecution, poverty or inhumane conditions to come to the United States for a chance to live the “American dream” of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In this article, we will cover some of the basic questions regarding immigration that many have.

Can you visit the US without applying to be a resident?

Thousands of people visit the US each day. There is paperwork involved but the main requirement is a valid Passport.

Since the attacks on the World Trade Centers on 9/11, there has been an increase in the need for security. Unfortunately these security increases can cause delays for travelers from countries believed to be hostile towards the United States.

What is the difference between a Visa and asylum?

A Visa is legal documentation that a person intends to be a visitor in the United States either for a limited stay, such as a visit, or for an indeterminate amount of time due to work, school or vacation purposes. Asylum is when a resident of another country is seeking to be allowed in the United States due to hostile rule, oppression or economic hardship suffered in their home country.

What are the legal repercussions for illegal aliens?

Illegal immigrants, or known as illegal aliens, face deportation if they are discovered within the country illegally. There are circumstances where the individual or family is allowed to stay but those are solely up to the decision of the federal government.

What is the impact of illegal immigration?

Illegal immigration can severely affect the economic status of the community. The effects can range from criminal activity, illegal workers working for wages far beneath the minimum standard wage set forth by the state as well as a burden on the healthcare system if they do not have healthcare insurance.

What are the current laws on immigration?

The current laws regarding immigration limit how many people are allowed asylum or entrance. There is currently a change to the testing questions for people seeking citizenship. At this time there is a debate waging on passing stricter laws and harsher penalties for people coming into the states illegally.
