According to the Pew Research Center (2014), in 2013 the Obama Administration deported a total of 438,421 unauthorized immigrants (Gonzalez-Barrera & Krogstad, 2014). These deportations were expounded upon certain races and unauthorized immigrants of specific ethnic background. More and more Americans want stricter immigration laws and fewer outsiders who are not native born out of the United states. By ensuing prejudice throughout the nation, deportation is as form of discrimination.
Deportation, like discrimination, excludes people of a specific race, religion, or ethnic background. Deportation categorizes the immigrant via visa status, with ethnicity, race or religion. Patrick Simon (2013), International Migration and Minorities Expert, states,
“Direct discrimination occurs if a person or a group is treated unfavorably because of their immigrant background. The second refers to a situation where formally equal treatment has, or is likely to have, the effect of disadvantaging immigrants, and that cannot be justified on

Immigrants do not hold the same amount of freedoms that naturalized citizens and natives to America, since their rights can be taken away, just as David Cole (2010), Professor of Law at Georgetown University, mentions a groundbreaking case in his publication, “Are Foreign Nationals Entitled to the Same Constitutional Rights as Citizens?” (Cole, 2010). Cole (2010) states the perspective foreigners shouldn’t be allowed the same rights were backed in April 2003 after the supreme court case of Demore V. Kim (Cole, 2010; p 368). It was proved through judicial restraint of a 1996 mandatory detention of deportable immigrants who have been convicted of crimes (Cole, 2010; p 368). This court case basically found that immigrants, not being naturalized, can be detained because they will not have the same rights until granted
The article Notes “From the Field The Criminalization of Undocumented Migrants: Legalities and Realities” by Tanya Golash-Boza talks about how undocumented migrants are treated like criminal even though they are told that the detention center is not a prison, it is still a form of prison that separate people from their many. They also told that deportation is not a punishment but it is a form of punishment because it separate families from their love once, and sometimes put them back in a situation they were running from in the first place. Undocumented migrants feel as though this is a cruel punishment because most of them did not choose to be undocumented. They just happen to be especially those who parents brought them to the United State
When the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decides to deport an individual, they issue Form I-862, which is the Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court. This form must be served to the immigrant properly, which means directly to that individual. If the individual has moved out of that jurisdiction, the case must be moved to the new jurisdiction and a new form filed.
The discrimination taking place for Sally and her family could be considered to be direct; Sally is being treated less favourably than her peers, associative; Sally comes from a travelling community & perceptive; expectations within the local community and key worker that Sally will move away from the area. Sally is also being denied equal opportunities.
According to the Migration Policy Institute, the U.S. immigration population is at 42.2 million, which is 13.3 percent of the total U.S. population. There are a variety of reasons immigrants come to the U.S. Many of them have been forced out of their homes and countries because of war, persecution, and poverty. They see the United States as the opportunity for employment, freedom, and overall, a better life for them and their families. However, sometimes in the United States they are treated just as bad, or even worse than they were in their home countries. They are met with violence, non acceptance, and ignorance. Although immigrants have gained many more rights than before, they are still falsely
• Indirect discrimination: when you have a rule or policy that applies to everyone but disadvantages a person with a protected characteristic.
Outside the sirens are singing and someone’s parents are taken away from their family because they are not a citizen, they didn’t do anything wrong they just weren’t citizens in the country. Not every immigrant is the same, everyone is different and they all have different opinions. Immigrants are helping out their family like every other family would and they aren’t just the only people who do wrong choices so do others. Some American’s can’t accept them in their country and say immigrants are taking their jobs. Imagine having children born in the country with foreign parents and they have to be deported with their kids waiting to be adopted by “parents with better lives.” Immigrants are like everyone else, they risk themselves but they don’t
Immigrants are one of the building blocks of of America and without them, the foundation of this civilized country would not stand nor prosper. When discussing about removing the majority of the population of immigrants in this country, we are putting different diverse cultures and economy at high risk. Immigrants in this country play a massive role in boosting the economic world as well as the motion to keep it going. In the article, “Only Mass Deportation Can Save America,” Stephens proposed that the only way to restore and clean this country is to deport mass quantity of immigrants back to where they came from. He provided evidence such as religious beliefs as well as education. He also says that immigrants are polluting this country with their low level education and their careless behavior. Stephens then continues to discuss about the disadvantages of welcoming immigrants into the country. The view that Stephens is arguing on only applies to the minority of the immigrants and that definitely proves that his argument is not valid and does not represent the rest of the immigrants in this country.
Thousands of people are deported yearly from the United States. The purpose of deportation is to protect America and keep it safe. However, deportation tears families apart and ruins the well-being of migrant children. Deportation has developed and expanded over the years. It developed into something much more complex that affects many families in the United States yearly, but also affects the well-being of the United States Economy
A deportation of a family member can bring about many hardships for the entire family, but economically and emotionally. The topic of deportations is important given that “an estimated 4.5 million U.S. citizen children live in families in which one or both parents are undocumented” (Gulbas & Zayas, 2017). The voices of children should be researched further and heard when creating new immigration policies. I am interested in this topic given my own personal background. I grew up in a household where both my parents are undocumented as well as myself. Although I didn’t experience either parent being deported, I still recall consciously knowing that it can happen someday. This same fear of being separated by a loved one is experienced
When people hear of immigrants, the word that comes into their mind is “illegal”. This is a connotation that isn’t taken into account as there are many immigrants who have permission to live in America. America is a nation that values diversity and that is why millions of people come in on exchange visas. The article “Hundreds of Veterans Were Deported, Rights Group Says” by Miriam Jordan, explains the controversy of immigrant veterans who served in the U.S. forces being deported after committing minor crimes. I believe that this article by Miriam Jordan is a good example of technical writing because it has all three of the key elements; accessibility, usability, and relevance. With the information on veterans deportation in the article, it
Coming from a family of immigrants who came into this country to provide a better life for their family deportation is a sensitive topic to me. I feel everybody should get the chance at the American Dream, to be able to provide for their families at the best way possible, give their children a chance at getting a proper education for generations to come however, not everybody that migrates
Under the new immigration enforcement policies of the Trump administration millions of people living in the United States illegally could soon be targeted for deportation. Any immigrant who is in the country illegally and is charged or convicted of any offense, or even suspected of a crime, will now be an enforcement priority, according to Homeland Security Department memos signed by Secretary John Kelly. Under the Obama administration, immigrants whose only violation was being in the country illegally were generally left alone.
Since the start of American history, immigrants came here and brought their traditions and cultures with them. The United States is a country of immigrants. It is a place where people from all over the world come to build a better life. Some immigrants bring their families. Others come alone with nothing but determination. Racial discrimination against minorities and immigrants is an underlying problem here in America today. Racism is seen in our daily lives when people are discriminated against because of their race and ethnicity. Racism attacks the right to a person’s well-being on the basis of something they have no control over. They cannot change nor should want to change who they are. Racial discrimination is not as bad as it was fifty years ago, but it still a problem here in our country today. Our country has advanced tremendously as far as modernization and technology, but has not improved on the way we treat minorities and immigrants. From African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and Arabs there is a form of discrimination against these group of minorities.
Deportation is just a part of the entire process of illegal immigration enforcement as carried out by bodies such
Direct discrimination occurs when a person with a disability is treated less favourably than a person who does not have a disability.
