Argumentative Essay On Immigrants And Homeless

Immigration is one of the country’s most controversial topics since it has always been a very important social issue that challenges society. As today, the Trump administration impacts in how to deal with undocumented immigrants. Not only undocumented adults are affected by the new presidency, but minors have also been affected on how to go through with this country. Rosa Maria who is an illegal minor experienced the no tolerance of non-citizens. As a result of her experience, two theoretical perspectives are discussed to describe the event that took place in late October 2017.

For example, UC Merced has a club on campus called “Hands for Help” that are known to help out within their communities such as the homeless. Recently, they had a fundraiser to help donate necessities such as toothbrushes, deodorant, or even soap bars for the homeless. It explains in the article, “Hands for Help (H4H)”, that, “By taking an in-depth look at the difficulties faced by the homeless community, Hands for Help aims to step forward and take action towards creating a lasting positive change in the lives of the Merced homeless” (Hands for Help, Par.1). By doing so, they are creating an environment where people can get involved in their communities and help those in

Have you ever wonder how does it feel to sleep on the street? Have you ever tried to survive with one meal for an entire week? Homelessness has been an issue for a long time already. Homeless peoples in today society are mistreated, people does not respect them, and even the government had sometimes abandoned them.

In my opinion I strongly believe that we should have a Homeless Shelter. It will help people that are still sleeping on the streets. They are freezing and the can die from hunger. Yeah some of them did something's that they aren't proud of. But did you know that still if you have an amazing job you could loose it all by the blink of an eye. Even if you have all this money. You could loose it all from interest in a house a car in anything. You could be a homeless person in just a second. What would you do in that kind of situation. Some people believe or not don't even believe that the homeless exist. What if they saw what it felt like then they would know how it feels. What if we could have something else to help.

A significant amount of those people are living on the streets. Sometimes a mother will abandon her children in the streets due to the fact that she will either have to pay for her kids or alcohol, and she chooses the latter. The sad reality is that some people are forced to live without a home due violence or abuse in the home. There many reasons for being homeless, but most of them seem to have a correlation between violence and drug abuse. A good amount of the normal people with houses would say that the impoverished did something to get there and that they deserve to be destitute; that may be true to an extent, but what can a homeless person do to get off the streets? To get off the streets, a homeless person can do nothing at all on there own strength.

In addition to school mobility, many of New York City's homeless children there is also some difficulty actually getting to school. Harris 2016, suggest that one of the biggest problems is the location of where homeless families are placed. Homeless children are protected under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act which gives them the right to continue at their original school even if they move outside of their neighborhood. Although the City makes an effort to place homeless children nearby their original neighborhood so that they can remain in their original school but this rarely happens. More and more families are being placed further away from the neighborhood. As a results families are faced with the difficult choice of leaving their children in the existing school, committing to travelling for hours or enrolling them into a new school. The reality is families are already dealing with the trauma of losing their home, the added burden of trying to navigate the education system can be a lot to undertake. Nathanson (2017), shares the story of first-grader Adamaris, who lives in a homeless shelter in the Bronx. Adamaris and her mother Lorena commutes for two hours so that Adamaris can attend Public School 188 , which is located in her old neighborhood. Her mother explains that sometimes she misses school because of the commute or the school bus fails to pick her up. Many of the other students in Adamaris's school share the same story. Public School 188

Illegal immigration has been a problem for the United States for a long time. This phenomena is not new and thousands of illegal immigrants have come into US through either the Mexico border, the Pacific Ocean, or through many other ways. Some people have entered the country legally through a visit visa, but then have stayed illegally and are working in various places. Illegal immigration is a double edged sword; on the one hand it provide the local economy with cost benefits as the illegal immigrants are not paid so much, while they are more productive. On the other hand, these illegal immigrants do not pay taxes and their employers also do not pay their taxes. There are both pros and cons of illegal

Compelling Statement: Homelessness affects people of all age groups, however, youth are especially affected because ever since they were born, they would rely on their family for basic necessities. On their own, they barely have the income or education to provide themselves with necessities to survive. This issue is even more prominent with homeless youth who struggle from mental health issues. Homeless youth who struggle with mental health face the struggle of seeking help for their illness while simultaneously trying to survive in the world with no parental guidance to aid them through their journey. While there is no cure to many mental illnesses, and homelessness is not an issue that is easily resolved, my aim is to try to alleviate the situation. It is very hard for youth in general to seek help regarding mental health especially with a certified health professional. My hope is to try to find some other method that may help someone in need who lacks the proper recourses to get the help that they rightfully deserve.

Every morning when I wake up, I ask myself, “Who are we as human beings if we ignore the suffering of others?”. My response to myself is always the same, “We would be lost souls tormented by our selfishness”. Which is why I take advantage of every opportunity that is giving to me to help others. I think we tend to forget that even the smallest gesture or helping hand, can make a huge difference in someone’s life. Take the expanding issues of homelessness and poverty for instance. At least once a day, we witness an individual or a family experiencing homelessness. In America alone, there are approximately 643,067 people experiencing homelessness. The statistics vary from state to state. Approximately 33,466 of those individuals live in the state of Florida. The city Orlando, resides 2,074 out of the 33,466 individuals.

The prestigious Bay Area is known for it’s remarkable tourist sites, pleasing cuisines, outstanding music festivals, devoting fans for their beloved sports teams, and an innumerable quantity of events. However, among these superb Bay Area characteristics, we, citizens of this infamous area in California, are ignoring the conspicuous. Visible living beings sit on sidewalks, on street curbs, in front of Target, in front of schools, and are scattered throughout thriving and prosperous cities. These human beings we ignorantly punish and deem as selfish, futile individuals are known as the ever growing population of homeless people. Recent studies have shown that approximately over 7,600 people are estimated to be homeless in the Bay Area alone. I currently live in the midst of a horrendous situation where I notice numerous homeless individuals roam the busy streets begging and desiring for food, water, money, and even a home. Is our society this inhumane to not step forward on acting upon a fragile community? As each day pass and the homeless continues to live life off of dollar bills and dirty, ragged clothing, we are making them feel more and more invisible in life and need to be more aware of these struggling beings. The number of homeless individuals in the Bay Area is rising, but we, as a community, are cruel for not assisting them by giving more care, shelter and family benefits.

Even if they are illegal I still have to help them and give them the maximum of opportunities they can. The other belief I have is that undocumented immigrants should not be able to send money to their countries. I have met so many immigrants that just come to work for seasons without paying tax money and taking it to their countries to make a business and build a house. I believe that if you are planning to stay you should invest that money here instead of taking it to other countries for their economy. Just in November alone, nearly $2.4 billion in cash was sent there, mostly by Mexicans and Mexican Americans working in the US. That's the most money Mexicans have sent back in a single month in the last 10 years. And it's more income than Mexico makes off oil (Garsd, 2017). Many undocumented immigrants get payed cash and they do not report that money. I have gone to houses that are really pretty, new cars on their driveway, parties all the time and I wonder how they do it. Well they cheat the system. Some of these people are my own family and that will come into play later on because I care for them at the same time. One potential challenge as a social worker is that I might not want to offer them all of the services because they do not pay taxes, but I have to remember that it is not everyone that does this and there is no actually way of knowing right away whether they are legal or illegal. The third attitude I have toward this group is that I do not believe they should

For the week of November 13th, the reading that I reacted to most was the article from Upworthy about the woman who was homeless but ended up graduating from college. This article is a perfect example of someone starting at the bottom and ending up toward the top. She was homeless growing up and eventually entered foster care before she graduated from high school. She decided to apply to college, and even got in. She spent a few years there, but had to drop out. She ended up returning to college and finished her degree. She also created a nonprofit for homeless kids that want to or are attending college. I found her story inspiring because you don’t usually get to hear the success stories. Society tends to focus on all the negatives in the world, and what fun is that. I think that her story is definitely one that people would consider to be an exception, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible for kids like her to end up with the career and success that she has acquired. Her story should be told to kids going through what she went through so that they will think that they can accomplish anything. Instead, however, they are pretty much told that they won’t amount to anything. It’s no wonder that homeless and poor kids don’t try to improve their situations. It’s the way the media and society say they should behave. This week at my site, I worked with two kindergarten girls. The first girl had me play school with her and another volunteer. I ended up leaving that group to work

As the years are passing by there has been a tremendous amount of illegal immigration into the United States. Illegal immigration was what made the United States as it is today but now it is getting out of hand and is a great buren. We have been seeing alot of troubles arising because of this matter. We will soon run out of excuses for this unreasonable amount of Illegal Immigration it must be closely monitored or things could get hectic. Those who support illegal immigration are blinded by pitty and should become more knowledgeable of what is actually happening and the great damage that is happening to the United States. Illegal immigration was originally vital to the development and prosperity of the united states; however, it has now become a determine to the country, and data about illegal immigration delaying further growth of the United States will be included, and for the opposing side there will be examples of economic data and expert support.

Regarding a homeless individual, there are many definitions as to what that pertains. These individuals lack proper housing as their means of housing they are unstable or nonpermanent. An individual who lacks a regular, permanent and satisfactory night time residence is seen as a homeless person. Homelessness has been an issue in America for hundreds of years. The displacement of individuals is caused by a variety of reasons. Veterans, mentally ill, economic suffering individuals, unemployed, family issues, incarcerated, and drug/ alcohol abuse are among the many causes of homelessness. A large percentage of the homeless population exists in New York City. Although there have been 34 States seeing decreases in homelessness, New York is one of the sixteen states that have seen increases. Children, and even those with job are experiencing homelessness but new plans have emerged in this infamous city to conquer this issue.

During the questioning of the subjects in a research sample dedicated to enquiring about the ability of homeless women to cope with the traumatic events in their lives, Laura Huey, the writer of this article and presumably head researcher, noticed that a number of women made vocal references to violence, with varying levels of comfort regarding violence that they’ve experienced, seen, and perpetrated. This prompted Huey to research the reasons behind the expressed comfort levels for the benefit of improving the effectiveness of social work with this demographic.
