The DACA program should not be eradicated. The President put 800,000 people in a vicious state of fear (Waters 1). Nevertheless, the other 11 million undocumented citizens were put in a vile state of turmoil (Waters 4). The current president of the United States makes it look like he is trying to gain praise out of fear from a massive portion of the country. Furthermore, he was formerly an actor so it seems as if he is trying to get attention from only he knows who, by sticking with his unneeded “Win! Win! Win!” attitude, and it’s making things worse.…
In an article ¨On immigration, Bernie Sanders is Correct¨ by Daniel Costa introduces us Bernie Sanders a U.S. senator running for president. Costa expresses sanders is choosing the right path to legalize all foreign families. Bernie recognizes there is something fundamentally wrong in our current society. Lately we have seen racism, wages, and immigration takes over our world. Immigration has been a center to all of our attention in our current economy, followed by racism, and the raise of the minimum wage. Daily we have many undocumented children, families, cross the border, but are then shipped back off to their country. Undocumented people come to live the American dream, they come to seek a better opportunity to escape poverty in their…
San Antonio has always been considered a sanctuary city, even though this was not publicly announced, everybody new that immigrants were safe here in San Antonio. Perhaps it was that most of the citizens are immigrants or maybe because citizens here see the benefits immigrants bring. Even though we considered our city a sanctuary city we can still see discrimination, but is something that was not out in the open, until recently.…
The dreams of DREAMERS have turned into a nightmare. On September 5, president Trump announced an end to DACA. DACA was a program that was passed during the Obama administration. The DACA program allowed individuals, also known as DREAMERS, who entered the United States at a young age, to receive working papers and be allowed to stay in the United States legally. Many DREAMERS feel as if they are now at risk of deportation.…
Within this essay I am going to discuss whether or not immigrations benefit the country. I plan on doing this effectively by looking at both sides of the argument and giving some examples before finally giving my own personal opinion on this issue.…
Immigration has always been an important topic, especially in the recent political debates. The U.S has always been in favor of certain countries and applicant with talent, or money. There are many positive and negative impacts that come from favoring certain applicants. However, favoring the most talented was interesting on how it has a positive impact on the U.S and a negative impact on other developing counties.…
People from different parts of the world come to America in search of freedom and opportunities to make a better life for themselves and their children. However, due to the political uncertainty in the United States, immigrants are not welcomed or accepted with open arms. By being unwelcoming toward immigrants not only are we preventing them from coming to America but we also prevent aspiring, and hardworking individuals who have the potential to make America a stronger nation. Though some people will argue that there are many natives who are willing to work and are left unemployed because immigrants are taking their jobs; this argument is simply not true. During the 2016 Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton stated that immigrants have a…
have an ambition to better myself. I and my family left Mexico because we were tired of living in poverty we came here to succeed and not to take no one’s job. There are plenty of jobs out here but no one is willing to do them except whom, undocumented immigrants. Many people procrastinate, but yet when have you seen someone else work in the fields, be a janitor, or housekeeper. The fresh fruits and vegetables that most have in their table were picked by whom? Illegal immigrants. They are jobs nobody else wants to take because it has to do a lot with social class status. From my own experience I know what it feels to be brought down, to have people closed doors on you, and also to have no rights. It is the worst feeling because that’s why you escaped your country looking for a…
The United States government should not permit people from other countries to immigrate to the United States because it conducts to the expansion of jobless Americans. This issue brings upon animosity towards immigrants from U.S. citizens. Immigration causes pain, and pain conduct to the struggles of American lives. Immigration into another country contributes to unemployment for Americans, it reduces job opportunities for U.S. teenagers and the less-educated, and it affects the poorer Americans.…
With immigration on the rise, have we stopped to think who were letting into our country? While helping our fellow human beings is nice, we need to stop and think what ideas and customs their bringing into our country. While not all immigrants are intolerant and hateful, some can bring in ideas of sexism, homophobia, misogyny, and intolerance. For this reason is why we should set up a tolerance test to all immigrants who come into our country to test and see if they can fit and adhere to our beliefs and customs for the better of our people, and anyone who fails would to be put into tolerance training to be properly accustomed to the beliefs of our country and if they were to not comply then they would not be able to enter our country.…
For many years the people of the earth have moved from location to location. This trend actually goes back thousands of years. With this common knowledge many people view immigration as natural and harmless: these people often reject those who have a different view on the issue of migration. This comes as no surprise because the United States is divided in to two sides, the Democrats (Left) and the Republicans (Right). Both sides are extremely stubborn and refuse to give any ground on coming to compromises on the issues. The Left feels as though there is not a problem with immigration. They feel that those who want to should be able to; they feel that the current immigration system is great and does the job. Some would even say that the system…
There are two sides of every story when it comes to immigration, some come here to cause trouble but others just want a better opportunity in life. Illegal immigrants cause the United States to go into even more debt than we are in. They have raised crime rates at an increasing rate. Even though it’s illegal to come here some still choose to do so and on the way, people have died at the border. Overall they just want a better life. We don’t know much about their past lives but we do know that they want to come to the states for a better opportunity for them and their family. Immigrants affect the United States in many different ways.…
All across our nation we have been burdened as American citizens by what feels like a moral dilemma. The issue of births from unauthorized immigrant parents has become more prevalent in the past decade. In 2007, 9% of all babies were born to immigrant parents in the United States (Passel and Cohn). More recently, in 2013, 295,000 babies were born to illegal aliens (“Overall number of unauthorized immigration hold steady since 2009”). Thus presenting an obvious problem that needs to be evaluated rather than ignored. Though one must consider the detrimental effect, this could have on a child. Is it wrong to separate a mother from their child once they have been born in the U.S.? Children of illegal immigrants face consequences for their parents being undocumented citizens.…
Immigration policy is one topic that has been very frequently debated recently and has become one of the deciding factors for many Americans when it comes to the presidential elections this November. The reason behind this is that the immigration population has reached more than 42 million people that comprise 13 percent of the entire population . They have become more influential in our politics and economy by contributing nearly 15% of the total economic output and this has led to new legislation from the President such as DACA and DAPA which hopes to keep more immigrants in the country and allow them to contribute to economy further. There is the argument however, that these immigrants are taking jobs from Americans and contributing to…
