Ethical theories and perspective of Immigration
SOC120: Introduction to Ethics & Social Responsibility (ADG1421J)
Immigration means to move from one country to another to find a better way of life for yourself and for your family. Some come to work temporally, some are running away from their past and some come to work hard to take of their whole family. Coming from immigrant parents I can understand the struggles that they went thru to provide for the family and themselves. Growing up it was hard because people treated you differently if you were from another country. Even though I was born in America kids still teased me because my parents are from Haiti. It was hard seeing my parents work hard just to be accepted in a place where they …show more content…
weren’t wanted. All they knew is when they got here the streets where paved in gold and that they would have a better opportunities. Now in 2014 there are more immigrants than ever before. They are even coming from countries you have never heard of.
I now realize that people are afraid of things that are unknown to them.
If they just took the time out to understand their daily struggles, people would treat immigrants differently. Everyone has their views and options when it comes to immigration and some might think its right and others think it might be wrong. I use utilitarianism when it comes to topic of immigration. If America is such a melting pot why won’t they let it melt?
Even though they aren’t natural born citizens they have a right to come and work just like the rest of use. Americans accuse immigrants for taking their jobs. They just take the low paying jobs that Americans don’t want. It’s so easy to blame someone else for our mishaps instead of standing up to our responsibilities. They just have to go about it the right way and get there green cards and do things the right way. I don’t believe in doing things illegally that only makes you and your people look bad. People are quick to judge and that’s not the bad reputation you want to leave about your home …show more content…

“The author argues that current rates of immigration to the United States are causing a radical change in the nature of the country 's population.
Specifically, he maintains that the Immigration Act of 1965 has triggered a mass immigration consisting of migrants that are significantly different in ethnic origin from the resident population and that this migration is causing a radical change in the demographic composition of the population which will lead to a breakdown in the ties that bind the nation together. Furthermore, he suggests that this migration policy, which is designed to be free of any trace of racism or xenophobia, is not only creating an alien nation, but is doing so despite the wishes of the majority of the current resident population. The author also makes the case that immigration is, and always has been, of much less importance to American economic growth than is conventionally assumed.” (Brim low P 1995)
“Immigration reform has been the year’s most feared, least effective, most popular, and most hated legislative discussion in Washington. You might say that “comprehensive immigration reform”—the awkward legislative compromise that emerged last summer as Senate Bill 744 and now languishes in the gridlocked House—was dead on arrival because of its attempt to straddle so many competing, often conflicting interests, pushing for a panoply of reforms that would either open or harden the country’s porous borders.” (Michelle Chen 2014, Vol 23(1) 30
–37) Being an immigrant defiantly has its up and downs, pros and cons as does anything else but this is people’s lives where talking about? Should their families starve, or be left out in the cold because someone at the top doesn’t think they deserve a second chance at life? There have been many solutions to try and stop immigrations but they all have failed at doing their job. Increasing border control and installing fences, and granting amnesty have all been tried but have failed greatly. The budget just hasn’t allowed border control to try and clam down the situation. In conclusion, wither you thinks its right or wrong immigration status should be considered and looked into. Let’s face it people are finding ways to get into the United States.
