The United States maliciously and ignorantly strives for immigration regulation and labor control, causing the oppression of undocumented immigrants.

America largely carries a common perception surrounding the idea that immigrants are the cause of our society's downfall due to perceived acts of "well-fare abuse." Ironically, immigrants main attraction to the United States is the jobs.

Initially, this negative perception largely regarded men as sharing a desire to steal the jobs of U.S. citizens. Yet, perceptions have since shifted towards immigrant women, seeing them as "brood mares" who come to the U.S. to have children, collect welfare, and overburden the environment, public hospitals and schools. Considering the majority of immigrant workers coming to the U.S. are women, they are most prominently oppressed by these perceptions, in comparison to men.

This negative perception of immigrants shifted from a focus on men to women, when they became the preferred labor source within the country, needing child care, cleaning and laundry work. With this, women are seen as the leaders of this "threatening demographic trend" causing many U.S. citizens regard their reproductive capabilities as largely negative. Citizens see the reproductive rights of female immigrant's as a threat to the country because reproduction of a child can potentially lead to their dependence on United States money and resources.

The United States also argues that the reproduction of children by female immigrants is a threat to potential transformation of American culture. Multiple federal proposals have been submitted to the U.S. government with intent to control and punish female immigrants, as well as their children. With this, their initial goals appear as a desire to control and restrict the reproductive rights of female immigrants.

This widespread negative perception of female immigrants ultimately allows practices abolished long ago, such as racism, native-ism, and patriarchy, to resurface. Therefore, this perception only serves in adding to a preexisting social issue involving the oppression of women as a gendered category.

Yet, many United States citizens carrying this perception are naive to the fact that the U.S. government thrives off of this patriarchal manipulation of female immigrant's and their reproductive rights. This harmful manipulation makes possible the maintenance and reproduction of the American labor force at virtually no cost to the government.

All in all, the unfortunate manipulation of the U.S. government and the negative perceptions over female immigrants seals their fate, making them more receptive to scorned, low-paid service jobs once they arrive.
