The United States is set apart from other countries in that we have a unique economic, political, and spiritual system from the rest of the world. This also poses a unique problem to our society: Since we possess desirable aspects as a country, we have to deal with the issue of immigration. Legal immigration is a great benefit to our society, and if we can control and harness immigration, it will better our country for years to come. While illegal immigration is an enormous problem that needs to be solved, legal immigration is a great asset to our economy and American society as a whole.

The movie District 9 provides commentary on immigration and the perceived threat of the immigrant. With District 9’s clear parallels with real life District 6 it is not hard to imagine how the aliens in the movie play the role of any race other than white who were all removed from their homes. In the beginning of the movie, the South Africans and the South African government let them live on Earth with them, but excludes them to their own area, district 9. The South African government would do random inspections to make sure none of the aliens, referred to as prawns, were in possession of any weapons. The private military company called Multinational United has some of the prawns weapons which can only be used by the aliens themselves. Because the weapons the aliens own cannot be operated by humans, they get more scared of them, especially since they can throw someone inhumanely far and rip off limbs. After 20 years the locals have become uneasy and the government hired a private military company to move them to a new area away from the locals. They didn’t do this nicely, but instead had given them an eviction notice on the day they were relocating them, not giving them time to prepare or anything. Using the concepts of the uncanny we are able to analyze the aliens in District 9 and how they may be represented in our own society as immigrants.

This paper will argue that Canada needs to change its policies on immigration with foreign investments in order to solve the rising issue with housing prices that are not affordable to the average citizen and to reclaim lost revenue. Issues should be seen as foreign investments, tax dodging, and how the system is being abused. The paper will begin with looking at the current market within Vancouver and how it has changed to show the problem at its worst case scenario that Canada is facing with its cost of housing. The paper will look at how immigration has caused a massive effect on the market and how it will spread from the more major cities into other Canadian

In the book Immigrant America by Portes and Rumbaut they state that children of poor, less well educated immigrants to America run the risk of being swept up in street gangs, drug use, incarceration and teenage pregnancy. However, there are factors which may reduce the risk that children will be swept up in these destructive ways of life. These factors are high social capital and a condition known as selective acculturation.

Even though birth rates were higher than immigration rates in the early 20th century immigration was still very important to the Canadian economy because since approximately 180,000 people immigrated to Canada during the time periods of 1900-1910 and each of those immigrants received 160 acres of land in western Canada it stopped the possibility of America expansion because western Canada was beginning to become colonized which boosted the economy because Canada has one of the world’s largest supply of natural resources such as metals, lumber and oil and in order for those resources to be not only discovered but to be put to use Canada needed workers but it had a very low birthrate compared to the other country’s therefore immigration was need to put Canada’s resources to use and start internationals trade and to boost the economy and without immigration the birth rate would stay low also “Economic activity in Canada is

Zadeh chose to conclude his op-ed piece on a happy note through detailing the process of how he finally became a United States citizen following 13 years of immigration limbo. His pieces illustrates how contrary to widespread belief, immigrants can provide towards the American job industry and economy versus taking a toll on it and he does so through a personal narrative. A fact that Zadeh expresses yet fails to elaborate further upon on is those "friends of [his who] decided it was too difficult here [in America]", he mentions that he had friends who chose to pursue careers in more accepting areas such as Canada and the United Kingdom. For a future piece, a expanded story on the journey of these certain individuals could be beneficial as it

When people mention Canada, what does pop up into their minds first? A warm welcome. Diversity in nations and religions. A strong economy. Freedom. Canada is often referred to as a land of immigrants because millions of newcomers have settled there, beginning with colonists from France and Britain, and later incorporating migrants from every corner of the globe. In this term paper I would like to discuss the importance of immigration to Canada in the 20th century, specificly from 1976 to 1999. In order to truly outline the changes due immigration I will start with the specific events in the process of inventing Canada which led to the outrageous numbers of immigrants prior and after the Immigration Act in 1976.

Toronto was named the best place to live in 2015, and consider the wide variety activities one can partake in and the general safety of Toronto, it is no surprise that somewhere like this would achieve such an accomplishment (Hall). This beautiful city is composed of people from all corners of the world and maintains a certain hospitality that helps Torontonians preserve their incredible reputation of friendliness. According to an economist post, all of these advancements have given Toronto the title of the greatest place to live in. This title is a great honor, which the city let alone the country should hold with pride and modesty. However, for decades there has been and continues to be an unsolved problem, which is continuing to grow without

In Immigration Au Canada : Un Portrait De La Population Née À L'étranger, Tina Chui, Kelly Tran and Hélène Maheux focus on native countries of immigrants in order to determine the top countries of immigrants. However, they also focus on immigrants’ integration, adaptation, and choices of life. In addition, they briefly examine the Canadian immigration policy. For instance, often the Canadian government prefers immigrants that will directly contribute to the economy. Those who already known French or English are privileged, hence it is not surprising that Europe is in the top 3 location from where the majority of immigrants come. Once in Canada, must of immigrants have to redo their studies as here their diplomas are not recognize. Personally,

Canada is a big country and is built by the immigrants. However it always been a great issues from the seventeenth century boatloads to recent boatloads of Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka.

They are motivated for the work hard and to work at the level of Canadian natives.

The text I have chosen is entitled “leave your name at the border” by Manuel Munoz, a Mexican American writer born Dinuba, California. The text was first published in the New York Times in 2007. In this selection Munoz explores assimilation of cultures and the consequences it has on people belonging to them . The writer states that immigrants have many sacrifices to make as they are forced to conform to the American standards leaving a part of their identity and culture at the border.

The quantity of individuals who are into Canada is consistently expanding as seen somewhere around 2001 and 2006, the quantity of remotely conceived individuals expanded by 13.6%, and by, 2006 Canada had developed to have 34 ethnic groups with no less than one hundred thousand individuals each, of which eleven have more than 1,000,000 individuals and various others are spoken to in littler sums. 16.2% of the populace self-distinguishes as a noticeable minority (Statistics Canada, 2011). This massive immigration has ensured that multiculturalism in Canada has never faced any threat of collapse. The Canadians know that the only way different cultures are going to strive in the country is by supporting legal immigration of people from various parts of the world into the country. By allowing the settlement of immigrants, multiculturalism in Canada was being
