Illegal Immigrants Deportation

There has been an issue for several years in the United States, and yet it hasn’t been resolved. While the government is looking for a solution, there have been so many families that are getting separated just because they are deporting too many people. Some states that have made their own laws which are laws that are absolutely unconstitutional, such as the one from Arizona the SB-1070, which that law allows the police within that state, to stop and interrogate any person who appears to be an immigrant. They can be identified by their skin color, and their way of talking. That law is unconstitutional because the police are judging because of their appearance. The government cares about getting the immigrants out of this country without considering that they are separating families and that without the immigrants, this country wouldn’t be as strong economically. In the Star Spangled Banner, there’s a part where it says “O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?” what really captures my attention was where it said that this country is the home of the brave. Many immigrants cross the desert; they don’t ride in a car or anything like that. They run day and night, hot and cold, many people who come to this country are brave enough to cross the desert without stopping, knowing that hundreds of immigrants die trying to come to this country. All they have with them, throughout the trip, is a gallon of water. The desert reaches over 100 degrees during the day and during night the temperature drops under 80 degrees. For people who risk their lives just to get to this country, I consider them brave so by what the Star Spangled Banner says, this is their home too, because they are brave. That’s one of the reason why I’m against immigrants deportation.
Georgia and Alabama enacted laws that penalized illegal immigrants recently. Now the two states are learning the

    The book Showdown in the Sonoran Desert by Ananda Rose was written to bring to light the issue of morality that underlies the controversial immigration debate, particularly the issue of immigrant deaths along the desert of Mexico and the United States. Hundreds of migrants, in an attempt to cross into the United States, lose their lives in the rough environment of the desert. As American citizens, many who are of Hispanic descent are forced to support one side or the other of the controversial debate. Either we support the federal law which rejects any action supporting or aiding an illegal immigrant or we dismiss the law and aid those immigrants in need to prevent possible deaths. Most Americans when faced with such debate, will most likely…

Many of these immigrants come from impoverished countries, with little or no money, with the dreams and desires of escaping their dire circumstances. Willing to leave everything they’ve known for a better life in America. Recently a new immigration law SB1070 (section 287g) was passed in the state of Arizona that directs police officers to…

    It is no secret that Illegal immigration has become a public policy issue in this country, considering a growing population and a threat to national security. But not all undocumented immigrants are the same and it isn’t fair to view them as the same- “UNDOCUMENTED”, making it okay to send them back where you think they belong. Yes, some are criminals, some do pose a risk to national security, but there are others that do the exact…

    For many years in the United States, immigration policies have repeatedly ran across the desks of politicians intruding their minds with questions concerning the legalization, law policies, and other essential ideals concerning immigration. The decision of immigration is constantly wavering with half of politicians in favor of legalizing and half in favor of sending the immigrants back to where they came from. Civilians have wavered between the decision to stand for equality, and some just don’t care.…

    All over the United States and Canada people are debating on how we should handle illegal immigrants. I believe that the U.S. and Canada should be more sensitive to the hardships of these undocumented workers for the following reason: undocumented workers are frequently hard working individuals who have no other means of supporting their families, these workers fill an important economic role, we can learn from these workers to not take our freedoms or privileges for granted.…

    nt, Barack Obama once said- “ For more than 200 years, our tradition of welcoming immigrants from around the world has given us a tremendous advantage over other nations. It’s kept us youthful, dynamic, and entrepreneurial.” America is the melting pot of the world full of diversity and curiosity. After all, America is a nation of immigrants, which at some point all had one goal in life in which was to make it to the land of opportunities. America is referred to the land of opportunities for one reason and that is because it offers those with dreams opportunities to pursue them. Many of these people come to the United States to make a better life for their families and even themselves. So why should they be living in constant fear of being deported if they haven't committed a crime or even possess a criminal record. Immigrants with no criminal record or serious offenses should be allowed to work…

    Imagine living in the U.S. as an illegal immigrant with a nice family and a job then BANG! That person does one small thing wrong he, or she could get deported from their families and anything they ever worked for just because they didn’t have a green card. secondly In the U.S. there are many illegal immigrants being deported from their families and losing everything just because becoming a U.S. citizen is a lot harder then some people would think. In summary illegal immigrants should be able to stay in the U.S. because it is inhumane to deport these individuals from their families, across the U.S. undocumented workers perform a critical role in U.S. Economy; lastly, amnesty is not the best solution to our immigration problem but it is the only reasonable solution.…

    Each year the Border Patrol arrest more than a million illegal aliens who flagrantly violate our nation’s laws by unlawfully crossing U.S. borders, often with the aide and help of fraudulent documents. All in all, illegal immigrants do not contribute more than they cost because the millions in prison and on welfare aren’t contributing a dime to our economy and the ones who are working are often paid in cash without tax deductions. America has a way of bringing us in, welcoming us and allowing us to become a part of the whole. What’s more, illegal immigrants migrate for a better future, education and rights. Thus, the U.S. has taken on many races, religions, and nationalities and has made them one nation; America has always been a nation built upon…

    The article states that a California native was shot and killed by an illegal immigrant who is a native of Mexico. The police arrested the shooter and discovered that the shooter has had many altercations with the law. They found that the shooter had been deported on five separate occasions (Kate Steinle). This incident shows just how ineffective the current boarder situation is. Now we all know that we are not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but how can you say that the current system works or is even too tough with instances like this and many others similar to this? Not only does this support the claim that illegal immigration is a problem it also drives a bigger wedge between those Mexicans who have migrated legally or are decedents of Mexican immigrants and those with in the country who are not of Mexican decent.…

    Illegal immigration has been, and I believe will continue being a controversy in the United States for years to come. Many people who complain about these illegal immigrants aren’t quite aware of the prolonged process of obtaining a permanent residency card. Whether you agree with the current naturalization process or not, viewing it from an immigrant’s perspective could change your outlook on it. American citizens should be educated on this topic before they begin to express their political views on immigrants, immigration laws and so forth. People looking into enduring the naturalization process will have various options to choose from. Each process will contain different rules and requirements that decide your eligibility. The majority of…

    In the article From Discrimination to Repatriation: Mexican Life in Gary, Indiana, During the Great Depression by Neil Betten and Raymond A. Mohl, the definition given of repatriation was described as the forced exodus of a large portion of the Mexican communities during the early 1930's. Furthermore, repatriation was described in two phases of voluntary and involuntary. In the article Stimulus to Repatriation: The 1931 Federal Deportation Drive and the Los Angeles Mexican Community by Abraham Hoffman, it provided information on deportation which lead to the creation of repatriation and helped make a relationship between both.There were differences between deportation and repatriation illustrated by the L.A. and the Gary examples. Gary, Indiana they don't mention the word deportation because they had multiple strategies on how to get rid of the Mexicans. One was to deny them county release and another was to raise money.In Gary, Indiana there was a campaign that encouraged business' to donate money to buy train tickets for Mexicans and in return get tax credit. In Los Angeles there is pressure for the deportation drive campaign and in turn creates repatriation. A scare campaign was created and publicized in hope that some aliens would be frightened into leaving and others would steer clear of Los Angeles. The Mexican chamber of commerce, Mexican consul and mutual aid society(mutualistas) raised the funds for Mexicans to return to Mexico and not businesses like in Gary, Indiana.…
