Critical Thinking Of Undocumented Immigrants

At present, the U.S. immigration system is burdened both by policy and implementation challenges. It is barely able to meet the commitments required by law and policy and is ill-prepared to address new challenges and mandates. Agreement that the system is broken may be the only point of consensus among many diverse stakeholders. The Task Force believes that immigration laws and policies are broken in four ways:

Americans believe that illegal immigrants are freeloaders they come to the United States to use our Social Services. Let’s define Social Services, “organized welfare efforts carried on under professional auspices by trained personnel (dictionary.com, 2011, para.1).” Examples of Social Services are Housing which is Government subsidized and public housing, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps/Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid and Medicare, and Social Security Payments for the elderly, disabled, qualifying children of the deceased, etc. Illegal immigrants do not qualify for these social services, because they do not have a social security number. Illegal immigrants contribute to the economy of

Anthropologist Leo Chavez presents a very descriptive and detailed account when he wrote Shadowed Lives, UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICAN SOCIETY it takes readers into the lives and experiences of illegal immigrants. Chavez is detailed within the book points are placed regarding people's choice to migrate as well as their stories of crossing the border into the United States We can learn a lot from Chavez's book, making distinct opinions on immigration itself, and the difference in immigration culture after migrating.

Many Latinos from Central America, South America, and Mexico have sacrificed their lives to immigrate to the United States to have a better life. Many have immigrated legally and many more have immigrated illegally. They all have a hope for what is called the American Dream. The ideal life that every United States citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success through hard work and education, determination and initiative. Latino Immigrants come to America for this hope, to have a good life, to have great education, to have rights, opportunities and so much more. Legal Latino immigrants have these opportunities and they don’t have to go through struggles and obstacles as much as illegal immigrants. Undocumented immigrants have always been the target for American government. They have always struggled with finding jobs, keeping a job, not getting paid enough, their educations, health services and so much more. The main purpose of this paper is the struggles and obstacles of undocumented Latino immigrants who have migrated to United States through education.

The number of undocumented workers in the United States has increased since the rise of our economy. An undocumented worker is a person in a country, like the United States, without the right documents to be proven to be allowed in the country. Many reasons are blamed for the increase of these undocumented workers. Undocumented workers increased because the change in law of the United States made it impossible for foreign workers to go to the country (Zoltan). These laws made a chain of problems that the United States is still suffering today. One example of a problem is the decrease of American jobs. The problems of the United States caused by undocumented workers can be solved by supporting Mexico and other countries to make more jobs

For many years, people from all over the world have come to the United States seeking a better life for themselves, their spouse, their children and even their children's children. However, not every immigrant comes into this country legally and many of these illegal immigrants are poor, uneducated and may be carrying contagious diseases. They may arrive here via human trafficking, smuggling or other methods. There is one thing we know for sure that many of them choose to remain silence when they become victims. The three main reasons they become invisible victims are they are not aware they are victimized, they don't know the right way to ask for help and they are afraid to be fired or even deported.

Undocumented Americans are like any other Americans, but with limited freedoms and opportunities as their other American peers. In the United States, undocumented Americans number about 2.1 million, and almost half of them are now adults (Friedman, November 10th, 2016). Many of these undocumented Americans were born in Mexico, moved to the United States and began their lives as American since they were young. This particular group of immigrant youths face uncertain futures clouded by fear and frustration due to the lack of rights, opportunities, and supports from both the general publics and the government. Many undocumented Americans do not fully realize the constraints of their status until they become young adults. Undocumented Americans’

Illegal immigration has caused a lot of controversy within the United States. The media has influenced our society to make us believe that illegal immigrants are horrible people. One thing that I have learned throughout life is, “Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains (Rousseau 4).” This sums up how society dictates our lives and limits us to what the media wants to us to believe. Whether it is legal or illegal, everybody should be treated equally. Illegal immigrants might always end up with the short end of the stick, but they heavily support the US economy. They contribute by paying taxes every year. In addition, they adopt difficult low wage jobs that are not of interest to the average American.

As an immigrant to the United States from El Salvador, I was really inclined to attend Robert Koulish’s talk titled “Citizenship and the Right to Public Education for Undocumented Immigrants.” I came to the US when I was six years old in 2000, it has been 16 years since I have been here. I remember very little from my birth country and most of my memories have been made in the United States. The community that raised and helped to sculpt my values is not in El Salvador, rather it is in Maryland, USA. This is something I’ve always been aware about and it is something I feel was addressed in the talk by Mr. Koulish.

→ Undocumented immigrants faced much kind of challenges among them; one of main difficulties arises from languages. For example difference between American slang and formal English. Likewise Jose Antonio describes in the video difference between “ what’s up? Where he replied “the sky”, if I were in his place I would have replied it as same way like he did. Also another challenged would be bullying by classmate they will make fun of your accent, if you have notice most immigrant kids won’t talk in front of the whole class because if they answer question asked by teacher they have to repeat several times so that teacher can understand fear of rejection, embarrassment and later bullying from you classmate outside of class. This why most immigrant

In our society today, it is stereotyped that all refugees had a choice in coming to Australia and people don’t care what happens to them because they’re ‘illegal immigrants’ (Arshad, 2011). People in Australia don’t understand that innocent people from war-torn countries needed a better lifestyle to be able to survive. There will always be people who try to do the wrong thing but that doesn’t mean all refugees or immigrants should be punished and dehumanised. People who are trying to get in into our country illegally may have come from awful conditions (Martinez & Marquez, 2014 & Kruh, 2012). In Brave New World the government encourages its citizens to take the drug Soma to make them feel happy and forgot about their problems. It is the social

The two topics are government funding of undocumented immigrants’ education and whether or not our border is safe. Immigration is a hard topic for me, the most recent immigration in my family was my great grandparents who came from Lithuania. So I personally could never fully understand the reasons people chose to leave their country. Although, if I was living in war torn Syria knowing any day my wife or kids could die just from a random bomb, I would probably leave also. Or making five dollars or less a day in a small village in Central America knowing make kids would be destined to life the same impoverished life I lived, I would probably leave

Being an American citizen is not something you can say that you just are. In addition, you have to fulfill your duties as an American citizen. For instance, jury duty, voting and following the laws are all considering American duties. Before watching the documentary “30 Days: Immigration” I thought Minute Men would never change their mind about illegal immigration. Considering this, minute men do not work for the government. They are only volunteering to protect the border and stop undocumented immigrations from entering the United States. Minute men can only report suspicious activity to border patrol, they cannot apprehend illegal immigrants. In my judgment, I believe Minute Man can change their point of view based on illegal immigration.

Racism cannot be rationally justified. Firstly, the pseudoscience facts about racial differentiation by scientists have no scientific basis behind the ideology of racism. Secondly, racism harms the physical and emotional well being of individuals, leading to the violation of their human rights, preserving inequality. Lastly, the ideology of racism demonstrates a poor evaluation of an individual, ergo it proves a lack of critical thinking.

As an immigrant myself, I know the struggles, hardship, and the difficulties that come with being accepted to the United States, as well as the struggles with becoming a citizen. The many barriers and the conflict that my family and I had to endure were very exhausting. For example, the many denials, then anticipation but finding out we weren’t accepted. Dealing with the rejection was especially hard for us. However, that didn't stop us; we knew that there will always be a chance as long as we kept on trying. The wait was well worth it because I can honestly say that my life has changed for the better. Even though I was too young back then to really understand the situation, I could still realize that there was something wrong every time I
