Imagine you were poor; looking for a way to progress, and just a step away from you there is a mansion where food and commodity is in abundance. Every day you wish you could go inside and enjoy of the heat to get warmed up from the devastated cold weather, as well as to feed yourself and your family. Those doors from the mansion are not opened for you, instead of it; they push you away and reject you from becoming one of them. As you, there are many more people outside of that mansion going through the same circumstances as you are. Outside where you are, there are no good employments; not enough of what you need to live well, or even to survive. Unfortunately, the owners of that mansion have a very protective fence, police men and dogs to prevent people— especially poor and uneducated— to enter to that mansion. That is, you are not allowed to go in if you are not rich and educated. That mansion is United States, and those poor people dying are the illegal immigrants who crossed the border. They crossed the fence that the mansion has; they risked their lives in the desert for their families’ well being and to get a better life. It is said that illegal immigrants are criminals, because they came to this country illegally. As a hungry person outside the mansion where food was in abundance got into the mansion illegally for food, immigrants got into United States for necessity. Is it fair to penalize of robbery a poor person who got an apple without permission, from a rich person when that rich person denied it to the poor one roundly? The rich one had no compassion for the poor and hungry person; the rich person acted selfishly. This country should not act the same way, and should welcome everyone. United States can help the illega... ... middle of paper ... ...their families just to give them a better life. By having the chance of coming back and forward, bringing their families here will increase tourism, more tourism means an increase in economy, because these people will spend money here in U.S, instead of their home countries. All the Hispanics and Latinos, Canadians, Alaskans, and every country in the continent of America have the right to call themselves Americans and they should not stereotype them just because they are Hispanic or illegal immigrants. It is a mistake when some people call Hispanics names such as vagabonds, drug dealers, among other things, because to be all that does not depend on your ethnicity. United States should remember how this country was populated from the beginning. This country was supposed to be a country of freedom and equality, but they’ve forgotten their roots and oppress immigrants.
It has been an on-going battle that seems to lead merely to failure. The southwestern states in particular have been struggling with the illegal crossing of the American border by its counter parts to the south. When main stream media broadcasts television shows on a daily basis of hundreds if not thousands of illegal aliens crossing the border every day, it is hard not to believe we are fighting a losing battle. With the technology that America has available today, the majority of Americans ask
Illegal immigration was an issue in the past and is a pressing problem in the present. The U.S. Government has been trying to find a resolution to this issue for years. The United States approved the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986, which allowed the American Government to punish American companies that consciously employed illegal immigrants (Nadadur 1037-1052). The United States’ Government Immigration Reform and Control Act has been unsuccessful in controlling illegal immigration
This year in the United States, thousands of undocumented illegal immigrants entered the United States. “Argument against undocumented immigration is that local, state, and federal governments are burdened with increased costs through their utilization of educational and social systems such as primary and secondary education, health care programs, emergency rooms, welfare, and other anti-poverty programs to which they do not contribute through taxes (Beccera).” Financially strained social services
Illegal immigration has been a source of mounting concern in the United States since the 1970’s. Statistics indicate that the past ten years have witnessed an increase in the number of illegal immigrants with the number estimated to increase in the future. “The percentage of illegal immigrant population from Mexico was 59% (or 6.8 million) as of January 2013. Other countries with large amounts are El Salvador (660,000) Guatemala (52000), Hondorous (380,000) and China (280,000)” (Infoplease 1). The
Among many of the highly disputed issues in the United States, illegal immigration is near the top, as it is continually growing and must be brought to an end. The term “illegal immigration” is used to describe the migration of people into another country without the government’s permission. Due to the United States’ highly desirable lifestyle, illegal immigration is more common than many other countries in the world. Even before the Constitution was written, significant political and social idols
Challenge of the 21st Century: Immigration Reform In 2013, nearly 1.7 million immigrants entered the United States -- a nation built with the blood and sweat of the millions of immigrants who came to it -- in search of a better life, one free from tyranny and oppression. However, only nine hundred thousand of these immigrants entered the country legally, vesting their time and resources into the legal residency “green card” program -- the very first step to full citizenship (Monger). The other seven
Immigration in the United States is a very sensitive topic. Trough out the years the government in the United States have been developing different reforms regarding immigration that unfortunately have not helped to provide a fair solution to illegal immigrants. Looking at the history of immigration it is palpable that over the years immigration laws undergo different ways. For instance in 1950, the Internal Security Act barred admission to any foreigner who was communist because it would be prejudicial
It is my opinion that illegal immigration has become one of the scourges of today’s society in America. According to many sources, such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform, illegal immigration is actually a crime. In my view, anyone who participates in the crime of hoarding an illegal immigrant should be fined or even imprisoned for a year or more, with multiple offenses. Not only do these people overstay their welcome, but they crowd our classrooms and steal our jobs. Unless an individual
increased risks of cases that are relevant to human trafficking” (“Illegal Immigration Pros And Cons“). Many people believe if the United States keeps housing undocumented immigrants it will have bigger consequences on their country. “When illegal immigration is allowed to thrive, this leads to an increase in the very serious crime of human trafficking”(“ List Of Pros and Cons of Illegal Immigration“). Several Americans are against immigration because of human or drug trafficking across the U.S.-Mexico
It is clear that illegal immigration has gotten out of control and constringent measures need to be taken to protect the United States borders. The local Government of Arizona recently decided to take control of the situation, by passing the “Support our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act” {House Bill 2162}. This bill gives law enforcement officers and agencies the authority, to lawfully stop, detain and arrest anyone who appears to look like an illegal alien. The bill out-right condones
people have swarmed into what is now the United States of America. To this day, hundreds of thousands of people leave their homes behind to come to this foreign land in the hope of a better future for themselves and their children. Some spend their entire life savings to fill out paperwork that may never be approved. For many, this is not an option due to their financial status. They sneak into the country and smuggle in their families. The United States’ Department of Homeland security estimates
world come to the United States for a search of a new life and new opportunities. Just like any other human being, they just want to have a better job and a new life. Many argue that undocumented immigrants are harming the United States. Donald Trump wants to deport all undocumented immigrants because the only thing that the audience knows about undocumented immigrants are the bad things that they cause. What if I told you that not all undocumented immigrants harm the United States? President Barack
Illegal Aliens: Appropriate or Belligerent In the 21st century being “political correct” has not only become a conversation between amongst peers but it is now swaying our political processes and presidential race. Often times people are more concerned about being political correct rather then being truthful. What is and is not appropriate to say to fellow American’s. What may or may not be offensive to those around us. Now while we should take precaution to those around us some things are inevitable
The Problem with Immgration to the United States The first move stopping immigration decided by Congress was a law in 1862 restricting American vessels to transport Chinese immigrants to the U.S. The Alien Contract Labor Laws of 1885, 1887, 1888, and 1891 restricted the immigration to the U.S. of people entering the country to work under contracts made before their arrival. Alien skilled laborers, under these laws, were allowed to enter the U.S. to work in new industries. By this time anti-immigrant
The United States is known to have one of the most accepting immigration in the world. It has contributed to the country's population growth as well as social change. However, the policy remains to be a controversy because of the topic that is illegal immigration. According to the Department of Homeland security in 2010, there are 10.8 million illegal immigrants residing among the 300+ million Americans. Since then, the number has grown to 11+ million people. The U.S. Congress has always sought to
