How Should Society Treat And Accommodate Immigrants?

Millions of immigrants over the previous centuries have shaped the United States of America into what it is today. America is known as a “melting pot”, a multicultural country that welcomes and is home to an array of every ethnic and cultural background imaginable. We are a place of opportunity, offering homes and jobs and new economic gains to anyone who should want it. However, America was not always such a “come one, come all” kind of country. The large numbers of immigrants that came during the nineteenth century angered many of the American natives and lead to them to blame the lack of jobs and low wages on the immigrants, especially the Asian communities. This resentment lead to the discrimination and legal exclusion of immigrants,

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 Paul Feine’s essay “McBastards: McDonald’s and globalization”, he addresses the negative views that many foreign cultures have about McDonald’s. He divides the essay into four sections. By breaking down the essay, he clearly shows his audience the ways in which the world views McDonald’s. He discussed the idea of cultural imperialism and the negative effects on foreign cultures, but shows the reader that these views may not be accurate. He ended his essay with a paragraph focusing on how McDonald’s brings people together.

The United States is a multicultural country that has experienced a rough journey towards building a cohesive country. Sherman Alexie’s story Reservation Blues explores the lives of some Native Americans who wrestled with cultural, racial, and religious barriers to embrace the rest of the country. The story reflects the process of racial and cultural integration the country has been going through since its inception, revealing an underlying struggle by the minority groups in the country to become part of the Americans culture that is often dominated by the majority white population. The process of assimilation occurs across all the different groups in the history of the country, and eventually, contributes to multiculturalism. Therefore,

Canada’s history is packed with many examples of intolerable acts of racism. These acts of racism are projected towards the Indians and immigrants. In 1608, the Indians already occupied the land when Samuel de Champlain first arrived in Canada. The Indians became valuable allies. The Europeans relied on the Indian’s tools and skills, in order for them to survive in Canada.

In his thought-provoking book, Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser argues that America's fast food franchises have played a major role in contributing to the obesity and ill health of Americans. This paper shows how Schlosser argues that fast food has contributed to uncontrolled development, negatively impacted American culture, and have had a largely negative impact. The effects of Fast Food Nation on American society and politics show that Schlosser's thesis is largely convincing, due to both his careful analysis and his powerful and effective writing style. The paper shows that the book makes the reader challenge many long-held convictions about the fast food industry in America and worldwide.

The attitudes of immigrants who have arrived recently differ from those who have arrived earlier in many ways. From 2002-2009 the percentage of votes from a series of questions has changed drastically. One of the questions that was asked if the immigrant spent most of their time with another native from their country. The next one question was if they called another immigrant in their country at least once a week on the phone. The final question was if that immigrant spoke their native language at home.

Policymakers set forth to rectify this hypocrisy. Change was not instantaneous but changes towards liberalisation of immigration policies moved through stages of policy stretching unravelling and shifting. The result of this process led to the dismantling of white Canada. The US followed suit; postwar, critics challenged the country’s claim of being the “world’s beacon of liberty and freedom” when practices were seen discriminatory (Triadafilopoulos, 2010, 185).

Thanks to the civil rights movement, immigrants can possess the rights of an American if they pass the US civics exam. Immigrants make up 13 percent of the US population, and the amount is growing rapidly. “These provisions are universal in their application to all persons within the territorial jurisdiction, without regard to any differences of race, of color, or nationality; and the equal protection of the laws is a pledge of the protection of equal laws.” ("Undocumented Immigrants DO Have Legal Rights - VIDEO." MALDEF:. Web. 5 Jan. 2016. , 2). The rights for the immigrants have been the same sense 1896, and the Supreme Court ruled that. According to the fourteenth amendment, immigrants have many rights. “…the right to equal protection of

Much like that of color-blind policies touted by Omi and Winant as an exemplary racial project and which provides the backdrop for multicultural rhetoric (Omi and Winant 1994L 55-56), official multiculturalism (and other forms of it) in the United States works to interpret, represent or explain the racial dynamics in the United States. But rather than focusing on quintessential ideologies for race by attempting to reorganize and redistribute resources along particular old racial lines, multiculturalism in the most basic form focuses on reorganizing and redistributing resources along

I simply plan to write about the mistreatment of the illegal immigrants. So much strife and discord about this topic. It cause a lot of unrest among the citizens of the U.S. There is so much back and forth on this topic, especially from a political standpoint. I intend to bring these insecurities and injustices that many immigrants, not just illegal, face in our society. I will analyze the welfare of the illegal immigrants. From the competition of minimum wage jobs to immigrants being paid less. In addition to the unfair treatments within detention centers because of the biased of the people, masking it as public safety. In addition to the youth being greatly affected by this. The so called “America’s Future” is doomed to suffer penalties

In the US, we pride ourselves on the values that are integrated within our familial systems. However, how can we be proud of being united if the very system that is supposed to protect us, betrays us? Immigration in the US is one of the most biased and, in my opinion, racist policy that is present in our lives. US immigration policy doesn’t allow for love or unity to succeed, it lets power and money control the lives of millions.

What Makes an American an “American?”? Some would say that being an American means you’re born in the U.S.; or you’re part of a legacy/generation that has made a living in the U.S. You may also be someone who follows the principals of what makes an American, such as joining the army to fight for your country. However, some can also say you have the wrong definition of an American. Nonetheless, on paper an American equals a U.S citizen. From the beginning the meaning of being American has always been in controversy between people. Some will oppose to the integration of immigrants to this country because it only damages this country and “their” principals. In the article “A nation of Immigration” by Peter Brimelow, he quotes “American must

I’m an alien authorized to work in the US based on a petition for asylum, therefore having an EAD card that’s renewable each year with unrestricted work authorization. My current start and end dates are 05/23/15 to 05/22/16.

A country built on immigration, Canada has long had a reputation of being culturally and ethnically diverse. While multiculturalism is meant to be built on equality and appreciation of different cultures, its concept has gained both support and opposition. On one hand, it allows for more assortment and the voices of minorities have a higher chance to be heard. On the other hand, loss of unity and conflicts may occur due to contrasting worldviews of the citizens. All in all, multiculturalism is a controversial policy that has both advantages and disadvantages, but has proven to be a successful strategy in Canada.
