Degradation Of Immigrants

Bacon's Rebellion is probably the best example of what the rich and powerful were afraid of in a sense poor whites and poor blacks fighting as one it was this fear that caused the rich and powerful to invent laws to prevent this sort of thing from happening again. Bacons Rebellion began the English settlers started inland to the west, which meant moving into the natives land. this was sure to cause tension between the two sides another main factor to the rebellion was the dry summer that was causing crops to wither and die. Bacon was elected to the House of Burgesses and his radical views about Indians lead to him being put in prison. when two thousand Virginians marched upon the prison bacon was released. shortly after this bacon took his

“ I pledge allegiance to flag of the United States of America …” Esperanza, held her head high up with honor, and as she laid her right hand across her chest she could feel her heart racing with hope. The vied red and white stripes painted rays of joy inside of Esperanza making her feel confident in every word that she spoke. Esperanza watched the flag carefully and was inspired by the way it swayed gracefully through the wind back and forth with great freedom. Closing her eyes she began wishing on each and every divine star that layed behind the rich midnight blue surface of the flag. As she made her wishes she found a promise that no wish was too big because her feet stood in the home of the brave were there was “freedom and justice for all”.

To conclude, Figure 1 and Figure 2 promote FFF’s purpose of keeping families together by using visual and rhetorical appeals such as Logos, Kairos and Pathos to convey that immigration laws in America must be changed in order to eliminate the disintegration of the family unity among immigrants. Both images illustrate the different groups in society and immigrants themselves uniting to fight for more comprehensive immigration policies in America. In this way, this issue is particularly important because America is a country made up of immigrants. Thus, as both images explicitly denote, new immigration policies are needed in order to keep the core of society together: the family.

Denice Frohman also criticizes the superstructures that suppress the Latinx community, specifically the undocumented community. Denice Frohman recites, “Ana Maria is now 16. Her father works 18-hour days as a dishwasher. Her mother cleans houses she’ll never get to live in so that Ana Maria can sit in a college classroom and say, “I am here.” But her guidance counselor tells her she can’t get financial aid or the instate tuition rate because of her status. She says it like an apology. Ana wonders if her family ever crossed the border, or if they are just stuck inside another one, aggravating it like a soul. Her guidance counselor stands in front of her with a mouth full of fences” (). Denice Frohman narrates the structural hardships that undocumented families usually face. The arduous labor that is accepted from undocumented immigrants and their families but not their full acceptance into an exclusive society. The dehumanization of immigrants who are here to work towards a better life, but work so hard and never actualize their dreams. Moving across one border to be faced with another border. A border full of limits that forgets about the humanity of those it ousts.

In “Immigrants” by Pat Mora, they are struggling to achieve acceptance and help their family have a better future. The parents are trying so hard to associate their children with “American traditions” and still are left wondering if they will be accepted in America. In my opinion nothing is worth loosing your actual culture or values. They are literally willing to do whatever it takes to transform heir children into American traditions. “Feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie” (Line 2 Mora). Both Hot dogs and Apple pie are both American food and American culture. Wait there is more they are even considering changing the names of their children. Buying them blonde dolls and football cleats both have typical American

A true reality of the world: grief will never truly end. It could become delicate over time, more superficial, but other days extremely challenging. Ripping families apart is not the solution. The flow of immigrants into the United States and supporting them with the necessities and benefits they deserve is the way to go about it. By allowing immigrants to live in the U.S. it would benefit them to escape an atrocious life, have exceptional job opportunities, and it is unrealistic and cruel to deport these individuals from their

Once again, public focus shifted, this time to the influx of immigration from Ireland, Germany, and of Catholics in the 1830s and 40s, who were often one and the same. A large quantity of the public claimed that the immigrants threatened economic security, were immoral, brought disease, and only followed authoritarian leadership. Subsequently, the state and federal government enacted various laws with the intention to penalize immigrants.

"The flag is the symbol of our national unity, transcending all internal differences, however large, within the framework of the Constitution. This Court has had occasion to say that … 'it signifies government resting on the consent of the governed; liberty regulated by law; the protection of the weak against the strong; security against the exercise of arbitrary power; and absolute safety for free institutions against foreign aggression (26).'”

Josh, you said, migrant are being affected the most. They are being positively affected, how is this affecting you or America? I agree, all immigrants should take the legal route and become naturalized citizens. My girlfriend is from Guyana, and become a citizen was not hard for her because she already had family here to sponsor her; which is much easier, it as if someone native to the country is vouching for you. I wonder why Mexicans have a harder time gaining

In recent studies, the United States has seen an increase in numbers in immigration and has affected both adolescent education and the work environment. These families are forced to learn a new language and blend into a new society. In the article Obstacles to Getting Ahead by Martica L. Bacallao and Paul R. Smokowski “Monolingualism and discrimination in interpersonal interactions and social policies directed Mexican adolescents and their parents to learn English and to conform to host culture norms, appearance, and behaviors to advance in school and in their work.” (1). Lately, education has been a struggle for immigrants due to the language barrier and the effects that it has on them such as depression, anxiety, and even feel abandonment.

My main takeaway from the film “The Least of These” is that the immigrant victims, many of which are fleeing direct harm, are treated as criminals by those in power, perpetuating a narrative of the villain immigrant, out to take over our beloved country. This relates to our course tremendously because, like this last video, it brings humanity back to the immigrants by giving names, faces, and stories. Not only does it go over some key flaws in our immigration system, but it provides real examples of those affected by these flaws. “The Least of These” shed light on the inhumane treatment and detainment of immigrants seeking refuge in the United States. In addition, this video entails examples of what I believe to be the two most important concepts

I think that the immigrants will be treated very badly by the middle and lower classes because they provide tough competition for jobs. They would work for very low wages, therefore, giving them more jobs. This would mean all the other people that had that job would lose it in place of a cheaper

Are vaccines likely to do more harm than good? According to Merriam webster dictionary a vaccine is a substance that is usually injected into a person or animal to protect against a particular disease. Science Facts says that vaccinations have existed since the late 1700s. There are vaccinations for many diseases including measles, chickenpox, mumps , smallpox , and the flu. While vaccines are beneficial, some believe they are harmful.

Ancient Egypt was plagued with diseases. In particular, schistosomiasis infected nearly everyone there. It’s an illness that makes people feel sick and causes blood in the urine and stool. It was so common that they didn’t even realize it was a disease.

The dominant groups can play a role in marginalizing other groups based on racial and characteristics involving privilege tends to open doors of opportunity, but oppression tends to slam them shut. The dominant groups has played a role of marginalization to other groups based on racial characters that involve oppression and have emphasized pervasive nature of social inequality woven throughout social institutions. The dominant groups reap advantage and benefit from access to social power and privilege, not equally available to people of color. They receive more money and accumulate more assets than other racial groups, hold the majority of positions of power and influence, and command the controlling institutions in society. The dominant groups restrict the life expectancy, infant mortality, income, housing, employment, and educational opportunities of people of color for economic, social or political power (Adams et al., 2013).
