Immigration Reform In Huck Finn

Jim is a slave and he overhears his owner talking about swelling him again, so out of fear, he runs away in opes to find freedom. Huckleberry Finn, on the other hand, runs away partly because he doesn't like his home situation and partly because he is looking for an adventure. During the novel, Huck and Jim eventually meet up and go on the adventure to find a new home together and to escape slavery together. When Jim and Huck talk about being free, “it made him all over trembly and feverish to be so close to freedom. Well, i can tell you it made me all over trembly and feverish, too, to hear him, because i begun to get it through my head that he was almost free.” (Twain 110). The two boys eventually meet up with Tom Sawyer, who wants to
We are receiving way too many illegal immigrants who come to the country and stay without any visas or citizenship papers. Illegal immigration is a huge problem because these people cost the government over 113 billion dollars a year (Trump 287). This is way too expensive and we need to find ways to bring this number down. In one of his campaign speeches, our republican candidate, Donald Trump, talks about this issue and gives alternative options on different ways to fix it. He proposes, “On day one, we will begin working on as impenetrable physical wall on the southern border.” and he adds, “Mexico will pay for the wall.” (Trump 287-288). This is a very idealistic approach to the illegal immigrant problem, however it will not solve many problems at all. Not all illegal immigrants are from Mexico. An immigration article by the New York Times titled, “Here’s the Reality About Illegal Immigrants in the United States” states that about half of the 11 million illegal immigrants are from Mexico, however the other half are from countries such as, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and China (Yee, Davis, and Patel). This shows that we stereotype mexicans as being in the country illegally, when in reality, there are many people from other countries that you wouldn't even think about. President Trump also has a
these countries include Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Iraq (Rothwell and Krol). All these countries main religions were the Muslim worship. This ban suspends the entering of the United States from these countries for 90 days (Rothwell and Krol). This is very bad because our country was built on immigrants with different backgrounds and religions coming together and putting aside their differences in order to build a nation that would accept anyone from anywhere with and religion. There are also many conflicts of interest in this ban as well. President excluded countries who he has done business or potentially done business prior to his presidency from the ban. These countries include Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (Rothwell and Krol). This is a conflict of interest because President Trump claims this ban is to put more security on people who live in the Middle East (of Muslim religion) so that we have a lower chance of a terrorist attack, however, we have never had a terrorist who came from the countries what were banned, they have all came from the countries who aren't banned. This ban is only used to keep out muslims who the people in high government feel don't belong here, when in reality, anyone who wants to live here and contribute to our nation belongs
