Scrooge McTrump In response to, “President Trump’s Executive Order on Immigration,” the presidents of many prestigious colleges wrote Donald Trump a letter that was released publicly. In this letter, they provide their grievances to Trump’s proposed methods of controlling immigration. They utilize scholarly diction, repetitious descriptions of America, and appealing to the mindset of majority of modern people to convince Trump of their argument. Throughout the letter, they provide reasons to why the order negatively effects the nation. In between these claims, they give commentary on the aspects immigration that encompass the “educational, scientific, economic, and artistic leadership” of America (Source A). They repeat these quote worthy,
In Jared Keller’s article “Trump’s Immigration Order Is a Major Blow to American Universities” (2016) written for Pacific Standard Magazine, he makes the assertion that the economic and social benefits that international students bring to the U.S. far outweigh the iffy fears of national security by the current administration. Keller incorporates statistics of large figures of money that would potentially be lost without the current foreign student capacity and notes on the irreplaceable cultural experiences that foreign students bring to the American working environment. The purpose is to incentivize foreign intellects to remain in the country as vital assets to our modern and demanding workforce. Keller captivates a general audience of younger
In the article “Trump outlines immigration specifics,” Jeremy Diamond and Sara Murray analyze Republican candidate Donald Trump’s latest immigration policy proposal and demonstrate how his unrealistic plan could cause more harm than good. For many years now, the topic of immigration has always been a problematic one and with reason. One side argues that immigrants are taking American jobs, while the other side maintains that immigrants are actually helping the US economy. While both sides rarely see eye to eye on multiple issues, one thing that they can both agree on is that the current US immigration system is, indeed, broken. Because of this issue, Trump has proposed an immigration plan that would require the US to build a wall along the
The new president has signed a lot of orders. There is one major topic that he talks about which is sanctuary cities and their fundings. In this essay, I’m going to talk about how Donald Trump is taking away funds from the sanctuary cities. This is happening because of the help they are giving to immigrants. The second thing is how these decision affects many immigrants and their families. I know that there’s a lot of people who disagree with these cities. I am in favor, because there are many immigrants that come to the United states in seek of a better life. To live the “American dream.” These immigrants are not here to harm America in any way.
Imagine you’re on a big crowded ship that’s swinging back and forth, seeking for a better life, for protecting on U.S. You are considered as an immigrant. In the 19th and 20th centuries, many people around the world started immigrating to U.S for a new life. The time period of industrialization of the 1800s caused economic growth, and social changes in U.S. Immigrants provided an unskilled workforce fueling prejudice among the American citizens. Industries grew a big gap between the rich and poor. Many started to wonder whether the immigration policy should be open or restricted. Some say that the immigration policy should be restricted because it makes U.S over populated and creates job problems. Other say that there should be
The chapter begins by explaining how Cecilia Munoz, an immigration advocate was working towards immigration reform in the White House in the early 2000’s. The author notes that news had broken that President Bush had met with Mexican President Vicente Fox to collaborate on plans to provide status to 3 million undocumented immigrants who were living in the U.S. Views from the White House put a stop to immigration reform plans and geared their focus on decreasing immigration patterns. After the terroristic attacks of 9/11 the topic of immigration took a different turn. Immigrants had yet another target on their backs, being labeled as potential terrorists. A shift in immigration had taken place after the attacks. Many people and organizations
The authors state that this executive order is hurting America because it “prevents talented, law-abiding students and scholars from the affected regions from reaching our campuses”. This means that the affected scholars who’s “innovations and scholarship have enhanced American learning” are not able to return to the U.S. and enrich the American society. This supports the argument of the students because it gave a rational reason proving that if the ban continues, then those “students” and “scholars” won’t be able to be in America to influence “Americas educational, scientific, economic, and artistic
The passage analyzed in this independent study activity is a speech on immigration delivered by Donald J. Trump in Phoenix on August 31st, 2016. During his speech, Trump clearly asserted his hard-line approach to illegal immigration in United States.
The reforms that President Obama are trying to properly execute throughout the states is changing life for immigrants today. Obama recently gave two Executive Orders, the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents for Americans), which are helping families resist separation. The big question on Obama’s immigration Executive Orders are if they are within the President’s power. It is Congress’s job to made the laws and the president’s to executive them, but with the creation of DAPA and DACA, many think that Obama is overstepping his authority.
Thank you for your discussion forum about Liberalism and conservatism. The article you chose called “Trump Border Wall plan is ridiculous on its face” identifies a lot of liberalism acts. I believe that the wall plan is one of Donald trump’s ways to make a law and change the moral principles of others. He intends to spend millions for dollars to make a wall that separates immigrants from citizens. In the article, trump also identifies the plan to search for immigrants that is already in the United States. He is creating these laws on the belief that the United States will become a better place. From the conservative perspective, my opinion is that invading an individual’s property is violating human rights. We are all humans
The U.S. has always being considered the land of opportunities. Back in my home country opportunities were very scarce, which led to my family immigrating to the U.S. for a better future. Having had firsthand experience in the immigration transition system, it has been captivating to hear in the news about the Executive Order Obama issued on November 20, 2014. Seeing families getting separated, violence raising in the Mexican border, and the increasing Latin population in the U.S. signaled the need for this Executive Order in immigrant communities. Even though the Constitution states that Congress has the duty of writing our Nation’s laws, President Obama declared an Executive Order on Immigration. It is believed to be a political boom for
In 1986 Ronald Regan signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act, an amnesty act that would alleviate the current immigration problems. Through this law, out of five million illegal immigrants, an estimated four million could have applied to become legal U.S. Citizens. This law was supposed to put a definite stop to illegal immigration into the United States. However, ever since the law was enacted, statistics show that the numbers of illegal immigrants in the United States have ascended from an estimated 5 million in 1986, to about 11 million today. Therefore because of these rising numbers, immigration has been one of the most popular topics in U.S. elections and debates. So on November 20th 2014, President Obama announced to the nation the executive actions that he 's planning to take to fix our nation 's broken immigration system.
The debate over illegal immigration has been a constant and ongoing struggle in the United States. Millions of illegal immigrants are living among us in the country, we have more entering daily. Recently, President Barack Obama touched on the topic with his immigration executive order. Unfortunately, with the republican takeover of the white house, many of his actions are not being supported. This is viable evidence that there are people who want to help fix the immigration system in a way that will benefit illegal immigrants and give them a fighting chance to prosper here in the United States. With that being said, there are also powers who do not want to see that happen because they believe that it is not in the best interest of the United States to open their borders to illegals. This puts to question what the next steps for the United States will decide and how that will affect Americans across the country. My goal of this essay is to enlighten the moral concerns in the debates pertaining to immigration.
President Donald Trump’s immigration policy, now an Executive order, has been the topic of controversy since the order was signed on January 27th, 2017 (BBC.com). An improved order was again signed on March 6, 2017 (BBC.com). However, a case in the Supreme Court of USA will determine the future of the ban, which runs between October 2nd and December 21st (BBC.com). The first executive order banned people from seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, and Libya from entering the United States for a period of 90 days. It also put a halt on refugee resettlement for 120 days and banned Syrian refugees permanently (Park). However, as per the revised executive order issued on March 6th, Iraq was removed from the list and the
The marginalization of South American immigrants has an extensive and colorful background in the United States. Mexican immigrants have experienced violence and hostility for generations. William Carrigan, during an interview with Uprising, offered insight into the prominent number of lynching's of Latin Americans in the mid-19th century, in numbers second only to those of African-Americans, pointing out that victims of racialized violence were often poor laborers and that racism and prejudice were crucial causes of death (Kolhatkar 2015). Violence against the Mexicans has been macabre; it has been utilized to intimidate and strike fear into Mexicans in the hopes they would return to South America. History is not remembered the same by Mexicans
. Illegal immigrants who come over and don't even try to get citizenship are looked down upon and are disliked by many. This essay is about how to stop illegal immigration. On a personal account it is also about the way that they do things and the things that they take away from millions of Americans each year. For example, would a business owner want to hire someone who wants minimum wage and wants other things, or would that business owner want to hire someone that would take whatever they can, even if it was dishonest and unfair. As difficult as it is to say this, most business owners would rather hire an illegal immigrant for their jobs and be dishonest, rather than hire someone who has their citizenship and can stand up for their rights, and confront somebody when they do wrong. Illegal immigrants will get whatever they can, even if that means being paid a dishonest price. As said on CSMonitor.com, Illegal immigrants believe that our laws will not be enforced. Mexican immigrants make up about half of the nation's 11.1 million unauthorized immigrants. That is unacceptable. The citizens of this beautiful country are paying for them to stay here day after day. Between the years of 2000 and 2012 there was a 31.2 percent increase in the foreign born population. Many will say that what President Trump is doing is unfair, while some of that talk may be true, President Trump is thinking about America
