Illegal Immigration Speech
Immigration has been an issue in Texas and across the nation for many years. Illegal immigrants have been flooding into the United States by the thousands every year and it seems like nothing has slowed them down. What can we do as a state? What can we do as a nation? Do we need to have stricter laws that will place these illegal immigrant in prison? Do we need to install a fence above and below the ground? No one seems to be coming up with the correct solutions. If we were to go out and do a survey as to what needs to be done I believe we would get answers like the following. Let’s just shoot every one of them that cross illegally. Build an electric fence so it shocks them when they try to climb or go through it. Put all of the in a prison …show more content…
He told me Sean think about those jobs out there that none of us like to do. Many of the illegal immigrants or working in the agriculture field. So think about it if we did not have them doing this job how would we as American get our vegetables that we like to see on our plates when we sit down for dinner. How about when we get home and walk into our homes? How many times have you seen men from the Hispanic culture working in the sweltering heat or freezing cold to build these homes that we are in? How about the highways that we drive on each and every day to go to our jobs to be able to afford the luxuries that I have just spoke about plus many more. So what do we need to do as a nation or state? Can we truly answer this? Should we put a 100% stop to illegal …show more content…

    It seems as though we’re still living in the segregation day. In Oklahoma we have segregated the hispanic to a poor area with insufficient benefits. The saddest thing about this is most of the immigrants are trying their hardest to conform to American ways. We have so many immigrants here in America. “Immigrants accounted for 13 percent of the total 316 million U.S. residents; adding the U.S.-born children (of all ages) of immigrants means that approximately 80 million people, or one-quarter of the overall U.S. population, is either of the first or second generation.”(Zong, Jie, and Jeanne Batalova.) Theses immigrants are contributing to our environment by making it beautiful with their landscaping work or by making beautiful building or safe roads. We are cold-blooded enough to tell these people who are actually contributing to society they are not good enough to be one of…

And we are very fortunate that we live in Australia and yet we all seem to take it for granted, is that because we are naive or just stupid? We Australians are a multicultural, we have different types of races in different suburbs in different cities, and yet we act like we all share the same views and values.…

    When Texas was a republic, most of the Africans who lived there were slaves. This is ironic because the reason why most Africans came to Texas was to be free, but in the 1860’s, there were not a lot of free Africans. The reason being is that in 1840, the Texas government passed a law that said free Africans had to leave Texas in two years or they will become enslaved again. However, some free African Americans won government permission to remain in Texas. This law is what caused the number of free Africans to go down. Even before the law, the citizen rights of the free Africans were shortened.…

    Solving illegal immigration is by no means a small feat. It can be a very sensitive topic for many people from both the US and Mexico. The Bush Administration has developed the guest worker program. The guest worker program grants temporary legal status for a foreigner, allowing he or she to work. A great deal of difficulty lies in creating a plan than is a win-win scenario for both countries' citizens. To completely open our borders to all immigrants can pose great threat not only to America's safety but to the economy as well. Then again, to close them entirely would be a very unpopular solution for most in addition to a possible negative economic ripple.…

    “I felt I was finally given a decent chance to be somebody in this country,” said Jamie Rangel when Obama announced DACA. There are many children that do not have a say in where they are born or where they are brought. Many children are born in another country, but are raised in the U.S. illegally. Children who were brought here illegally should not be punished for something they could not change. DACA gives these children a chance for a better life and more opportunities with them not having to leave.…

    Like most states, Texas faces a host of problems; that stem from both cultural and environment issues, but unlike most states Texas is a state that shares a 1,254-mile long border with Mexico, a country that has their massive problems. Geography alone has provided Texas with problems that are difficult in the best of times, but in this age of a huge drug problem in the United States along with the rise of international terrorism, those problems have grown exponentially. While it is easy to sit back in the United States and spout out rhetoric claiming that all immigrants should be wholly welcomed, the situation is much different when it is as up and close and personal as it is in Texas.…

    I am Keith Marquez, I am a ninth grade student attending Windsor High School in California. I am writing to you as I have an issue with your policies on immigration. My mother had to immigrate to the United States from Mexico. I know first hand how it is like to be born to immigrants and she is anything but a criminal. I believe the immigration laws you plan to put in place should be less harsh and only convicted criminals should be deported. No one should be forced to leave the country if they are contributing to the society by working. No one in Mexico wants to come to the United States, they are forced to by terrible living conditions and a strive to have a better life for their family. The wall you plan to build is not needed and I believe…

    As an individual who has witnessed family friends of immigrants that came to this country over 20 years ago in hope of a better future. I understand why so many immigrants are willing to cross a border so dangerous and treacherous to reach a country that is called the land of opportunities. What we call The Unites States of America the land of the free. An average of 2,700 illegal immigrants are willing to cross the border each day leaving there families and risking their own life's to cross to the US. Mostly in the news we tend to hear only the superficial fact but never the real facts or the stories of the capture immigrants. If we would just take time to listen to the real stories of what I called the unforgotten children and women. We could understand the reason why immigrants are willing to take such a difficult decision to cross a border in order to improve their life styles of their families within the economy, escape prosecution of gangs and looking for a better future for the children.…

    The DACA

    • 2002 Words

    On June 15, 2012, President Barak Obama gave a brief speech on a new Department of Homeland Security Immigration policy. This new policy will benefit thousands of undocumented students living here in the United States that were brought by their parents since they were young children from their native home. A policy called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. As President Obama mentioned in his speech about what undocumented students are, he mentioned part of a sentence that got to me. President Obama stated the following, “They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one, on paper” (Obama). This is very true in my point of view, as I have realized exactly just that growing up. As a young girl, I was never told whether or not I was documented or not; whether I was a citizen of where I was growing up or I wasn’t. I was never worried about my legal status in the United States. My main focus has always been school and progressing to be a well-educated citizen that is part of the United States. That’s how I see myself as, as of today; a citizen of the United States, perhaps not in paper, but in heart. This is the place where I have been raised since the age of two, till today at the age of 17 even knowing that I am undocumented. I love the fact knowing I’m Mexican and will always be by my culture and by a large majority of my family, but that’s not the place I know by heart or grew up. That is not the country that has helped my progress as an individual. It is here in the United States where my hopes and dreams are at for a better future. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals will open job opportunities for undocumented students, avoid being deported back to their native country for at least two years, and give them a sense of hope to apply for…

    The United States and Mexico border has been a contention for many years now in the context of its security. Although much has been done from, increasing Border Patrol Agents to adding fences there is still a large number of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border with Mexico. Despite all these means of security and any other humane means at the United States disposal, nothing will stop immigrants from crossing the border illegally as long as they do not remain completely open.…
