If history truly repeats itself, then what can we look at from our own past to compare with our world today? During the most recent presidential election there a lot of talk about building walls along the Mexican border, outsourcing of jobs, and illegal immigration. These issues particularly that of illegal immigration, are some that have plagued the United States since the Civil War came to an end.…
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…
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.…
Immigrants come from all over the world with the determination to fulfill their wants and necessary needs to live. The United States of America offers great job opportunities and a healthy environment to live. “A vast majority of these immigrants want to get right by law, but there is no achievable pathway for them to do so” (Scholastic Upfront). Everyday, these individuals face hardship and criticism from Americans that claim they “do not want aliens in their country.” Immigrants are people too! With these harsh remarks being constantly thrown at them and having no pathway to start their legal…
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.…
As I was driving on the 405 freeway on my way home with my father in the passenger seat, I decided to turn on the radio. I tuned the radio to the local news broadcast. On the radio, there was a story about a muslim captain in the U.S army. This seemed a little unusual because you don't hear about muslims in a good light from the media most of the time. As my father and I were listening to the broadcast, we found out that the muslim captain had sacrificed himself for his squadron. Captain Humayun Khan was patrolling a guard post and he saw a suspicious vehicle approaching. He then ordered his squadron to stay back while he inspected the vehicle alone. A short moment later, an explosion catches everyone's attention. The suspicious vehicle was being driven by suicide bombers. This resulted in the tragic death of Captain Humayun Khan. The captain was was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart after his death.…
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.…
The Democratic Party has fiercely advocated for the enactment of the DREAM Act. Republicans however have strongly opposed it and have left little hope for any reform for illegal immigrants. However not passing the DREAM Act and stalling on reform for illegal immigrants is doing an injustice to these immigrants and most importantly to American citizens. Today many US citizens suffer from a depleting economy and anything that can help revive it should and must be done. I see the DREAM Act as a great opportunity to aid and provide relief to the economy.…
A lot of people apply to live in the United States; In fact, there are at least 4.4 million people awaiting their acceptance into the country. But there are also millions of illegal immigrants that live in the U.S. today. They have increased so much in numbers that the pew Research Center claims that there are at least 11.2 million illegal immigrants that lived in the U.S. in 2012 alone. From 1990 to around 2007, this number have more than tripled but slightly declined in the years afterwards. The problem with this subject is that many republicans and governmental figures want to find those aliens and deport them back to their country. There however is moral blockage because those aliens emigrated from their country in fear to live in their own. For example, some illegal aliens might have left their country because the gangs are in charge and the rest of the population feel that they are in danger so they take refuge in the U.S. Although some people sympathize with their situation, others feel like they should still be deported because they steal American jobs, create gangs and kill people (According to the United States Government Accountability Office, illegal immigrants in correction facilities and jails account for 25,000 homicides). Hilary Clinton believes that in order to solve this problem, we need to create a pathway to citizenship for the illegal aliens. She thinks that it would be wrong to deport all of them. In…
Imagine living in a country that lives up to the definition to sovereignty. I believe that the United States can live up to the word if they eliminated one very disastrous factor, which is illegal immigration. The huge amount of illegal citizens that live in a nation that is supposed to be independent and home ruled, have only done bad for the United States. Illegal immigration is believed to have helped the United States economy, but in reality, all the foreigners coming to the United States only brought problems and violence to our nation.…
First I would like to say I am not against immigration because we are all god kids and he made this earth of all of us to be leaders and follow his footsteps to success. But I would like to say they are causing a nationwide problem by non-speaking employees taking American jobs because they work for cheap.1 In the presidential run, all of the candies have given their view on immigration. They all believe that if they confessed and show some type of effect towards getting their citizenship that we should give them the right to stay if they haven’t comment no crimes or selling illegal drugs. Because over the years united states immigration has become a normal thing in our country. To me I feel like anybody can easily come to American and just set a bomb off at any time. There are on average 11.1 million illegal immigrants in the United States. On average that’s 30,000 illegals comes to American in a single day out of the 365 days we have. That will increase America population and make it even more over populated then what it is. But then again they are illegal so you really can’t count something that can’t be found. I know we are the land of the free but not of everybody else that is…
