Argumentative Analysis

In the United States, many families are currently being affected by the Dream Act’s failure to pass. The Dream Act would have given many undocumented children the ability to have a pathway to citizenship. The Dream Act believed in the importance of social support within the family by supporting family unification. However, due to its failure to pass, millions of undocumented children are now at risk of being deported and having their families divided. Although the U.S. government created a new policy known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), it is not providing immigrants with the same opportunity. DACA instead give undocumented people the opportunity to not be deported for a maximum of three years, but will never become a pathway to permanent citizenship. The Dream Act and DACA ultimately affects the physiological, emotional, and mental health of the immigrants who reside within the U.S.

Immigration has become a very controversial topic that no one can stop talking about. From President Barack Obama’s Immigration Reform to potential 2016 presidential candidates, everyone is looking at different ways to amend our broken immigration system. Almost everyone agrees that we need tighter border control and there needs to be more regulations to prevent the hiring of illegal immigrants. Not everyone is sure what should be decided about immigrant parents, who are not American citizens, and their American born children. This topic has left people questioning the 14th Amendment and “birthright citizenship.” While some people have no tolerance for these children and want them out, others have thought of better solutions that keep the

In arguing that anti-Confederate southerners played a central role in Confederate defeat, Freehling shifts historical debate to ground that is at once familiar and novel. Historians such as Drew Gilpin Faust and Paul Escott have identified internal disaffection as the primary cause of Confederate defeat while Gary Gallagher has suggested that whites in the Confederacy maintained their support for the government even as military losses ended the war.[1] The South vs. the South expands the scope of inquiry, looking beyond internal fissures within the Confederacy to the divisions in broader southern society. In Freehling's telling, anti-Confederate whites undermined the Confederacy by remaining outside the nation while slaves sapped Confederate

Since the inception of this country, we as a nation of immigrants have struggled with the question of who should be a citizen and who should not. It is no surprise that illegal immigration greatly affects our nation and is now one of the leading debates our country faces, polarizing our society on many levels. This paper addresses the debate over the ‘Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act’, (DREAM Act 2011, 2011); a proposal purported to be the solution for innocent victims of illegal immigration. It discusses possible consequences of ‘The DREAM Act’ and how it may play a negative role in our society, legal system, and moral standards.

Immigration is broadly considered a matter of national interest. During the early years of the United States of America, immigrants were embraced and provided them with a pathway to citizenship as they came in search of personal advancement (Martin, n.d.). Today, the US is home to over 40 million immigrants who represents one-fifth of the US population. As the US develops, immigration reform restricts immigrants resulting in an influx of unauthorized immigrants. According to Bailik & Lopez (2017), 11million or 3.4% of the immigrant population is unauthorized. Subsequently, there have been numerous debates highlighting economic, security and humanitarian concerns as these unauthorized immigrants, including children, continues to

Common belief indicates that legalizing illegal immigrants would just result in “criminals” running around the streets causing disturbances. What is ignored it’s the benefit to a very specific population of Americans, the sons and daughters of illegal immigrants. American children are harmed

Using the Pew Research Center projection that, by 2050, more than one-third of the nation’s school children “younger than 17 will either be immigrants themselves or the children of at least one parent who is an immigrant,” (2014) the question that arise is how do we the help these children at the micro, mezzo, and macro level since immigration as such a significant impact on our society. The proposal of this discussion board post is to improve the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The DACA protects eligible undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States by their parents when they were children. DACA provides employment authorization (work permit) and protection from deportation for a renewable two-year period for the population of younger illegal immigrants in the United States.

In his National Review article, Steven Camarota argues the case to terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), an immigration policy issued by the Obama administration to protect immigrants who came to the country under the age of sixteen, known as Dreamers, from deportation, calling the program “illegal” and “overbroad”. In truth, though, DACA is a fair and moral act that not only protects deserving immigrants, but also benefits American society as a whole.

In the United States, there are countless affected families due to the Dream Act’s failure to pass. The Dream Act would have given many undocumented children the ability to have a pathway to citizenship. Proponents of The Dream Act believed in the social support within the family by supporting family unification. However, due to its failure to pass, millions of undocumented children are now at risk of being extradited and having their families separated. Although the U.S. government created a new policy known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), it is not providing immigrants with the same opportunity. DACA, instead, gives undocumented people the opportunity to not be deported for two years, but will never become a pathway to permanent citizenship or relief for their families. The Dream Act and DACA eventually affect the physiological, emotional, and mental health of the immigrants who live in the U.S.

Unauthorized immigrants account for approximately one-fourth of all immigrants in the United States, yet they dominate public perceptions and are at the heart of a policy cessation. Caught in the middle are the children of these immigrants—youth who are coming of age and living in the shadows. An estimated 5.5 million children and adolescents are growing up with unauthorized parents and are experiencing multiple and yet unrecognized developmental consequences along with extreme amounts of trauma as a result of their family's existence in the shadow of the law and society as a whole. Although these youth are American in spirit and voice, they are nonetheless members of families that are "illegal" in the eyes of the law and society. In this article,

Deportation and illegal immigration can be touchy subjects for some people, but they are important and need to be talked about. The article says that in the first half of 2014 alone, “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 22,088 unauthorized immigrants who claimed to have at least one U.S.-born child.” This shows that it is an actual problem, and we need to make a decision.

Deportation is fearful, particularly for children who have no control over the situation or what will ultimately happen to their parents. It’s critical to act humanely in this type of situation. The existing executive order of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (ACA) from Obama should be upheld with regards to defining immigrant criminals and capturing them. This order is based on the supposition that overall immigrants are good people and that if they work with the US government with their information they will re-enter society and not be deported. Should deportation occur the collaboration of municipal and county governments in rural areas is paramount, but deportation should be extremely rare and only be a last resort if necessary.

Immigration continues to be a hot topic in the United States. The issue is a particularly sensitive one, as it affects matters such as national security, the economy, and the American way of life. Frustrated by Congress’ inaction, President Barack Obama is attempting to fix what many see as the broken immigration system, and one such move was through the executive actions he announced last November 20, which aims to provide relief from deportation for those who were brought to the country as children and their parents. Immigration has certainly not escaped the media’s attention, and it has spurred debate among people from all walks of life. Immigrants contribute significantly to the U.S. economy and culture, and it is the duty of Americans to embrace disadvantaged peoples; therefore, the government should strive to legalize the stay of law abiding foreigners.

The children born to illegal immigrants are at risk of limited supply of resources and basic needs. In fact, there is a limitation of access to quality education. It is troublesome for children born in the illegal family. Despite the precarious situation, the children are subjected to; the welfare of children of illegal immigrants can be secured in various ways.
