Anchor Baby Pros And Cons

As it stands, DACA is a program that allows undocumented immigrants to come out of hiding, and helps them to enjoy some of the benefits of US citizens, such as applying for a drivers license, credit card, and work authorization. DACA allows undocumented immigrants who came here as children, to live without fear of deportation. However, not everyone is eligible for DACA, and strict eligibility rules are in place to make sure that the criminals and unproductive people don't get to stay in this country and receive benefits for free. To be eligible for DACA, you must have been brought here before your 16th birthday, born after June 15, 1981, lived here continuously since June 15, 2007, have a minimum of a GED or be enrolled in school, and

Donald Trump has voiced his strong opposition to Mexicans being in the United States; he even went as far as proposing the idea of building a wall separating Mexico from the US. According to Forbes’ article written by Dolia Estevez, “he wants to deport 11.3 million undocumented workers, 6 million of which are Mexicans, and strip babies born to undocumented immigrants of their birthright citizenship.”

Studies show, within 3 months, 80,000 illegals were deported from just Texas and many more in five other states; 700,000 returned to Mexico voluntarily, 488,000 in two other states (Nagle). A child born in the country from foreign parents are citizens at birth and it should not be taken away from them. “Former representative Nathan Deal of Georgia had a better idea, and he introduced a bill proposing that being born in the U.S. only confers citizenship if one child’s parents is a U.S. citizen” (Nagle). When parents are deported their children don’t have a choice whether they go with their parent or stay, the government chooses it for them. Some parents don’t know they can request return upon deportation or their children could be replaced with their relatives or take them with them to their home (Valbrun). A mother sent a request to visit her child but got no response and her child was taken care by strangers and the mother did not accept this idea. Obama stated that they are focusing on deporting immigrants that have committed crimes. “It’s clearly un-American to take kids away from loving families” (Valbrun). Social workers say children are better off living with middle class Americans than their own “poor” parents who want to try to make a living in a new place. An immigrant parent’s worst fear is to be deported and abandon their child

DACA was created by the Obama administration in June of 2012 with the vision to relief deportation and giving protection to foreign minors who entered the country illegally so that they could stay, work and get education without being deported to their country of origin. DACA has been entitling to controversy and uncertainty since the Trump administration because this action provides the recipients the opportunity to receive a two year renewable deferral of deportation, a work permit and benefits provided by the government. This action has been rescind by the President Donald Trump on September of 2017; more than 800,000 recipients (known as DREAMers) are left with concerns, worriers and fears of being deported to their country of birth because their families, education, friends and life is here in The United States.

I lived a happy childhood in California I never had an experience with racism and discrimination, until I moved to Reno, NV for school. I went to a Donald Trump conference to rally the event. A middle age man approached me and started shouting to me and some friends to “go back to Mexico!” I later yelled back I’m an American just like you I was born in the U.S. He kept saying vulgar words to me and started to tell me if my parents are immigrants so am I, I am an anchor baby. The term anchor baby started to get popular because of the candidate Donald Trump. The American heritage dictionary of English language definition is considered an offensive word “Used as a disparaging term for a child born to

Over 600,000 children in the United States are in the foster care system. Reasons include, abuse, neglect and abandonment. These children lack nurturing environments and stable homes. Children within the foster care system have more mental, physical and developmental problems. It is imperative to understand the challenges children entering the foster care system are exposed to. The system works best when children are provided nurturing, and short-term care until they can be placed back home safely or a permanent adoptive family. For many children, however, the stay is longer, with 30% remaining in temporary care for over two years. Staying in the system is detrimental to the child’s well-being. The foster care system is an unsuccessful intervention for children that cultivates development, health and mental issues.

The article "The 'Trump Effect' Alienating Conservative Latino", explained that recent comments and political views of Donald Trump have impacted the support of Latino voters for the conservative party. This has made conservative Latino voters feel as though their views are not being represented well. Trump describes Mexican immigrants that are in the U.S. illegally as "criminals, rapists, and drug traffickers" (Kalid, 2015). He also advocates taking away the 14th amendment, which grants citizenship to those born in the U.S. This has led to other candidates to chime into their own views and opposition of immigration.

After reading Dog Whistle Politics by Ian-Hanley Lopez, I became disgusted. I was with some disbelief that there were such a thing as dog whistling and how politicians use it to get votes. Most of this dog whistling tactics involves racial slurs. So I decided to do some research to see if any of the current Presidential Candidates of 2016 fell into this category. I looked at all the Republican, since Lopez’s book revolved around the GOP in using these distasteful tactics. I looked at all of the Republican Candidates polices and statements that were stated in debates, speeches, interviews, and social media sites. Unfortunately I found a candidate that was notorious for dog whistling, this Republican Candidate was Donald Trump. When it comes to Trump’s statements in debates, speeches, interviews, and social media sites a lot of negativity is involved around immigration issues in the United States.

He says, "Anchor Babies can import relatives through America's nepotistic chain migration system" because the principal qualification for legal immigration is having relatives in the United States. The irony of the situation is he had to go through numerous hardships for his own child to become a citizen of the United States. Wall believes it is completely unfair for these Illegals to be entitled to automatic citizenship as well as welfare benefits. These immigrants also are minorities which qualifies them for affirmative action, a law that maintains colleges keep a certain percentage of minorities on campus causing whites to get overlooked frequently.

Created in 2012 by former president Barack Obama, DACA is a widely debated topic throughout the political parties. DACA which stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is an act that allows those who are not citizens of the United States to have the right to remain in the country with permits to work or to attend school. Dreamers are the name given to the immigrants who are apart of DACA. Dreamers are typically brought to the United States as young children and adapt to the American society. “A 2012 executive order created by former President Barack Obama shields the so-called "Dreamers" from deportation and provides work and study permits” (“Daca Dreamers: What Is This Immigration Debate All about?”). Donald Trump disagrees with the

Nearly 800,000 people affected by the repeal of DACA, most of whom were young children when they left their country, are being deported back to a country they are not familiar with. President Trump announced his decision on September 5th, 2017 to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals-DACA a program started by President Obama in 2012. Surfacing impacts this announcement caused of large protests and questions on the future of the American economy once DACA is gone.

The term ‘anchor baby’ has been used throughout political writings and dared republican rantings to be used as a pejorative meaning for a child born in the United States to an immigrant. When I had first heard this term I could not help but blatantly laugh. Although it essentially is used as a derogatory word towards me, as well as the rest of ‘my people’, I found it humorously accurate (and even somewhat affectionate). This expression was brought up during a conversation between my boyfriend and me about first generation Americans. I half-jokingly mentioned the only time I reserve that title for myself is for scholarships that I apply for. With regards to that exchange it got me thinking about the effects of being a Hispanic first born

Did you know there are 8,194,000 children in the United States with at least one immigrant parent? 8,194,000 children whose families are being threatened by the Trump administration's recent changes in immigration policies. Immigration reform has been a topic of controversy for decades. Most Americans blame Mexican immigrants for the United States economic problems and many believe undocumented immigration causes high crime rates. However recent studies have disproved that undocumented immigrants are a threat to American citizens. When people think of immigrants they think of an outdated caricature that doesn't truly represent all of the 11 million undocumented immigrants.

What is an anchor baby? Would you like someone to call your children an anchor baby? When many illegal women come to the United States to have babies, so they can obtain citizenship for the children, and then they would return to their country, so that when their children are old enough, they may return to the U.S with no problems is called an anchor baby. As a young immigrant I would dislike it if someone called my children such a disgusting name. Personally, I have lived all the terrors, immigrants go through dangerous obstacles just to reach the American dream. The desert is not a safe way to reach the American dream, been lost for three to more days, starvation, and thirst are not a way to die. Therefore, the Supreme Court should not repeal or change the Fourteenth Amendment. “In both ways large or small immigrants have helped shape the United States for the better”. Also, immigrants have contributed to the state’s economic growth, and the American culture. The physical growth and political power that we have now would had ceased to exist. [Debate pg. 591]

Illegal immigration is a major problem which most of the developed countries face in the current economy, and it has been major political problem for the political parties in America (republicans and democrats) and over years each party has a different agenda to discuss the problem. Illegal immigration can be defined as a movement of people from a source country to the destination country without any legal documents and violates destination countries immigration laws. People have moved across lands over years to escape a war situation or to get better facilities in a different country. Countries have defined immigration laws to restrict people to enter their land without proper documentation as illegal immigration social and time
