Immigration: Is It Really that Bad
YES! The United States of America is known to the world as the country with the most cultural groups and has been home for many legal and illegal immigrants from second and third world countries. Second and third world countries are referred to as undeveloped or developing countries, such as most of Asia and countries in Latin America. Many immigrants refer to the U.S. as the land of freedom and opportunities. Year after year legal and illegal immigrants from these second and third world countries have been increasing in numbers in the United States. Many immigrants immigrate to the U.S. to escape poverty due to their poor economy in their country. They immigrate to the U.S. in search for economic security. They immigrate to the U.S. and steal as many American jobs as they can, and send their earnings back home to their family.

USACE, officials celebrate completion of water sup...As more and more immigrants enter the U.S. they interfere with the economy and ecosystems that are vital to the health and survival of America and the Earth. This is why immigration needs to be taken seriously. The United States should reduce the illegal as well as legal immigration in the U.S. due to American job losses, environmental problems due to overpopulation, and the money that is spent on immigrants.
The United States should reduce the rate of illegal as well as legal immigrants immigrating into the U.S. because they harm the American workforce. One example would be, job displacement. This is when native workers lose their jobs to immigrants working for lower wages. By immigrants working for lower wages it gives them the advantage because businesses will hire the person who will work for the lowest cost.

"They immigrate to the U.S. and steal as many American jobs as they can, and send their earnings back home to their family."
Your use of the word 'steal' highlights not only how prejudiced you are on this topic, but also how unprofessional you are and made me reluctant to read on, as I thought I was not going to be reading an intelligent essay. Not only that, but it is a sweeping generalisation to state that ALL immigrants send home earnings to a family in a different country.
Overpopulation? Do you know how UNDERpopulated America is considering its size and the fact it only has 250m people in it? Britain, for example, is probably not that much bigger than Florida, and has 60m people in it alone.
You talk about job displacement, which is certainly always a problem. However, I do not think that immigrants have an advantage because they will work for less. Read John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath".
Also, you speak about immigrants 'adapting to the American lifestyle' and thus using up natural resources, and causing environmental degradation. Did you know that the USA is the single worst country in the world for wasting natural resources and misusing the environment? This has nothing to do with the levels of immigration but because of the excessive American lifestyle.
You refer to American's as 'Natives', but does it ever occur to you that the real 'natives' are the people who lived in America before colonisation? That Americans are ALL immigrants, coming in search of a better life, just 200 years ago? What gives you the right to decide that nobody else is allowed into the country, when it was not your country in the first place?
I think you should take some of these points into consideration. Your essay is very detailed, and well structured. However, it is extremely biased, and even when arguing in favour of something, it is my opinion that you should always state the arguments of the opposite side (even if it is to try and disprove them).
