    John Oliver: Border Wall

    Will Donald Trump’s wall be as magnificent as the Great Wall of China or can Trump even achieve the construction of the his great wall? Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is a television program that covers current political news and current events with humor. In the segment, “Border Wall” (cite), Oliver discusses Donald Trump’s idea of his border wall in Mexico. With satirical support and evidence, it is questionable whether or not Trump’s wall is achievable. Considering all the reasons Trumps has decided to propose a wall versus the cost and requirements needed to build the wall, it is concluded that Trump’s wall is inefficient and will provided no useful services, but instead create problematic situations. Therefore, Oliver arguing that Trump’s great wall isn’t as competent as he makes it seem.…

    Summary: The Immigration Restriction Act

    The Immigration Restriction Act, known as the White Australian Policy was one of the first acts Australia passed during its federation in 1901.This racist act restricted the entry of non-Europeans into Australia by means of a dictation test. The origin of a "white Australia" can be traced back to the 1850 's when resentment towards Chinese diggers progressed into violence on the Buckland River, Victoria, which resulted in the restriction of Chinese immigration. Closer to federation, Australia was in fear of invasion, people felt threatened by job loss to non-white Australians who accepted lower wages. The prospect of lower living standards pushed the Australian Government to pass the White Australian Policy. The policy put a halt to foreign migration, which prevented Australia from advancing…

    Essay On Badly Needed Discussion By Andrew Mccarthy

    Muslim immigration to America has been occurring for decades, and is not a new thing. However, throughout history the U.S. government has had trouble creating a sensible Muslim immigration policy. Currently, president Trump—a man with bold and controversial policies--has enforced a temporary ban on Muslims until the American government can create a valid immigration policy. American people are in turmoil while deciding whether or not they should allow the U.S. government to put restrictions on Muslim Immigration. Some Americans are concerned that Muslim immigration will jeopardize America's security, while others feel it is America's duty to be compassionate and welcome immigrants.…

    Political Climate Of The 1950's Vs. Today

    Radical extremists have put fear into American society, causing many to resent immigrants and refugees. President Trump has worked with foreign governments to eliminate the threat of radical extremists, specifically in the Middle East. During a conference in Saudi Arabia, Trump said, “[W]e are here to offer partnership, based on shared interests and values, to pursue a better future for us all” (“Donald Trump and . . . ”). Since the beginning of his term, Trump has pushed for secure borders. On January 25, 2017, Trump signed an Executive Order, part of which stated, “Among those who illegally enter . . .…

    The Pros And Cons Of Executive Order

The order also suspended refugee admission program of the US for 120 days.

    Vetting System

    Many people opposed Trump’s travel ban stating that none of the countries on the list proposed a threat to our national security. In many ways they are right. Trump claims that the countries on the list were responsible for 9/11. The original order also stated that green card holders and people with valid visas to work in the United States could not travel between our country and theirs until a more effective and efficient vetting system was put in place. In many ways, Trump is right. Our vetting system does take an extraordinarily long time and many immigrants find themselves waiting decades before their citizenship is granted. A more efficient system would prompt a quicker and easier entry to our country. However, constitutionally, you are not allowed to discriminate against any human regardless of religion, race or ethnicity. We can corroborate with the court cases like Korematsu’s that the detention or removal of a group of people from an entire country should never be allowed and that regardless of the war we are fighting. Citizens from those countries, unless under federal watch, should not have their rights infringed upon them due to scapegoating. Many great people from around the world come to work in the United States due to it’s endless opportunity and also many times because of the rights granted to each individual. A personal example is with my father. As a director at Google, he spends his time with people of every race, religion, sex for the majority of his day. Trump’s travel ban would prevent many people like the men and women my father works with from continuing to support their families, and would also prevent them from trying to build a life for themselves. In times of war, in many ways the President should take executive action to ensure the safety of our…

    Essay On Border Wall

    It has ranged wildly from $1 million per mile to $15 million per mile, depending on where the fence goes. At that price, fencing for 2,000 miles would cost between $2 billion and $30 billions. However, it is not only just building it up. We also have to do many maintenance to keep up and it will cost a lot of more money than we estimated. It became more ridiculous when Trump said that he would ask Mexico to pay for that border wall even though that is his own decision. Do you think it’s fair to do that? It seems like America is a cat and asks the mouse, Mexico to do whatever it wants unless it will kill the…

    Donald Trump Dbq

    On January 7, 2017, Trump signed an executive order banning immigrants from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, all majority-Muslim countries. Not only did the order ban immigrants from those countries, it also worked against people who had green cards and were overseas visiting in those countries. Many were stuck at airports after the order was signed, unable to get back to the country where the families, jobs, and schools were located because of a misguided view of their religion and stereotypes that follow Islam. Trump claimed that the law was not about banning Muslims and was about keeping America safe, even though he called for a Muslim ban throughout his entire campaign. If that were true than the law would have survived in court, but it was struck down in multiple federal courts and deemed unconstitutional due to its discrimination of…

    Immigration Restrictions Analysis

    “Immigration Restrictions : An Overview” is an article by Micah Issitt and Andrew Walter which gives a lot of information about immigration today in the USA.If Jewish refugees from the Holocaust were to arrive in America in 2016 they would be let in and be treated well. When the authors wrote about how some immigration rules were changing, (Micah and Walter, Immigration Restrictions : An Overview) “United States maintains one of the most open immigration policies in the world.” This quote shows that the United States is a very open country and is easier to get into. They will be treated well because the immigration laws are so open. So the Holocaust refugees will be able to enter the freedomland. The quote supports my answer because it says…

    New Immigration Policy

    Obama,who is the president of the United States, announced the new immigration policy on June 15,2012. The new immigration policy would stop deporting and issue work permits to up to 800,000 young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children and had never committed a crime. This was not an amnesty. When some people were being excited and optimistic, Alulema who arrived in the United States when she was 14 said that she had been weary of the administration's broken promises. Believing that the new immigration policy could help many talented young people who arrived in the United States before they turned 16, President Obama said that the young undocumented immigrants had the same culture, language and everything as Americans. Many people who were famous or not were discussing the new immigration policy through every kinds of ways when the new immigration policy was announced by the government. Being told by my friend about the new immigration policy, I thought it was good for talented young undocumented immigrants. As we all know, many people have tried to move into the United States before and there will be more in the future. Most of them had high education and made contribution more or less. So the government of the United States should try to leave them in the United States.…
