Cost
A potential of immigration to the United States disadvantage is the cost imposed by government agencies and taxpayers. For the Department of Homeland Security, which administers the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, ensure that no immigrant is a threat to the country requires spending in several stages, including background checks, personal interviews and process citizenship and naturalization tests for new immigrants.
Economic impact
Immigrants who become citizens contribute to the US economy, but others put a financial strain on the system. These immigrants may move to cities or impoverished regions and enter the already crowded job market. Immigrants who fail to achieve a means of support may be forced to rely on local and federal agencies, such as food stamps or subsidized housing social services.
Language barrier
Although the United States does not recognize any official language, de facto official language is English. This can represent a significant barrier for new immigrants who may have little familiarity with English, in addition to what is required to receive resident status. The language barrier can make it more difficult for immigrants to integrate into American society and also poses a daily challenge of being unable to read product descriptions, restaurant menus or traffic control signals.
Policy issues
Despite federal control of many aspects of immigration, including the naturalization process and border control, states can pass laws that restrict the rights of immigrants. A notable example is the controversial 2010 Arizona law that requires immigrants to show proof of legal status when police asked them to do. The tension surrounding immigration policies can make overwhelming the possibility of emigrating to the US for some people, and discrimination against immigrants, even illegal, you can make the experience even worse.
