Immigrants Persuasive Speech

77 Words1 Page

Thank you Kenneth, I understand your point. However, my point is, why even call them immigrants in a negative light? This is what I am upset about, I do not like the classification. I wish we could just call them people, not associate them as being immigrants. I think this has a negative connotation to it that I wish would be removed. However, this will take time because so many people have a bad stereotype for immigrants.

    We live in a nation that has been called the land of opportunities, a nation that was developed on the hands, sweats and hard work of many people. These same people are those who are from here but are poor, or who come here for a better life and migrated from other countries some by force and others by choice. We live in a country that many look at immigrants as if they are different from the rest, what makes them different is how they speak or dress. At the end of it all we are all humans and they should not be considered to be call illegal immigrants. What is so illegal about that is the question to ask, and why it is that one word is the one to define someone’s character of who they are. One piece of paper is what define who we are in this

    When things go downhill in your life, you tend to only focus on what you’re going through and completely ignore the fact that many others could be going through the same exact thing. It’s not easy to accept that other people are feeling the same pain as you. Something goes wrong, it’s like the end of the world for you. That was me at the age of 9.

  • Persuasive Speech On Mexican American War

    1511 Words  | 4 Pages

    It is my honor to speak before the House of Representatives and Senate and officially state that Mexico and the United States have signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This treaty ends the Mexican-American War as Mexico has agreed to cede all regions that rightfully belong to the United States of America. The Mexican-American War started in April of 1846 and ended yesterday in February of 1848. I consider the war against Mexico as a conflict that largely benefited the United States. President James Polk and all of my fellow US Congressman were reasonable and justifiable to dictate that Mexico obstructed and interfered with the freedom and rights of the citizens in our beautiful nation, specifically in Texas. The Mexican general, Santa Anna, sent troops to invade one of the Union’s state, Texas, and the act is clearly an attack against the United States. In this speech, I will address to the critics of the war the facts, reasons and my clarifications to justify that the United State’s action to declare war against Mexico was reasonable.

    Immigration reform is one of the most active and discussed topics right now in American Politics. Mr. Speaker, you are being presented with a unique opportunity to embrace and lead the charge in this reform. The United States is a nation of immigrants. It was built and carried by people who migrated all over the world because they believed in the American Dream. The American Dream is not dead, and immigrants can and will continue to be an incredible positive side to this beautiful nation. But the truth remains, Immigration policies are incredibly outdated and xenophobic. As a nation, America is turning back not only on its foundation and history, but on its future as well. It is not too late to change this. America can return to the being the nation that embraces the tire and the poor and the ones yearning to breathe free. I urge you to aggressively pursue bipartisan Immigration reform this year with or without majority support from The Republican Party. It is a pressing issue that can determine whether The United States continues to be the dominant force in the world. Mr. Speaker you should pursue this immigration reform because Republicans need the support from the immigrants in future elections, it presents a viable platform to fix the issues with illegal immigration, and it can provide a better, more efficient way, to handle immigration in the future.

  • Argumentative Essay On The Word Alien

    1079 Words  | 3 Pages

    The U.S should use a word that shows more positiveness such like a newcomer, adoptive citizen, or even an incomer. Even though the federal law states that “alien” means someone who lies in the borders of a country, but not originally from that country many immigrants interpret this word as not being human at all. Even Jose Antonio Vargas stated that using the word “alien” toward immigrants “has become such standard practice for politicians and the media...that people of all political persuasions do not think twice about doing it too.” Terminating this misused word would increase the happiness and more job opportunities for immigrants, which would be a good thing. And wouldn’t this be beneficial for the U.S economy? Shouldn’t we as a society, abolish this word since it’s crystal clear that the word “alien” is disrespectful and abusive? Would you feel offended if you were ever called alien in another country? If so, then we can assume that is what many immigrants who live in the U.S feel like when they are reminded who they are in the

Jails were full, because immigrants were violent animals. Insane asylums were full because, immigrants were not as capable of equal mentality.

Our answer is yes, they should, pending, however, a background check, blood test, and be required to take ESL classes, because there are certain stipulations that are needed. If they have a

    Thanks for commenting. I agree with many of you points, however I do not believe that immigrants are taking the jobs of able Americans. Farm work, gardening, and other labor intensive jobs are not be filled by U.S. citizens (possibly having to do with low wages), so why would it be an issue if these immigrants decided to work in these fields? In addition to this, refugees can create their own businesses, so this doesn’t necessarily take jobs away from American workers. Unfortuanely there are many unemployed Americans, however in many cases, it is a matter of multiple applications and having the right skills. If people are not qualified for the job, then obviously it should be given to someone with the proper credentials. If immigrants have these skills then why wouldn’t a company want to hire them, versus someone who is lacking the specific background and or education?

    Immigration, the leaving of one 's homeland to build a life in another country, was not a new concept by the late 1800s. Foreigners had been leaving their homelands for the United States for decades before. Since then Immigration has been a major issue in the United States. This phenomenon is not new and thousands of illegal immigrants have come into United States through either the Mexican border, the Pacific Ocean, and through many other ways. However, some of the immigrants are undocumented, they should be allowed to stay in the United State because of some reasons such as, religious freedom, another one would be opportunity, and run to seek shelter.
