Illegal Immigrants In Roy Britt's Drone

“West Side Story” follows an ongoing feud between a New York City gang called the “Sharks”, and a Puerto Rico gang called the “Jets”, in hopes to gain control of the territory. As their feud heightens, the gangs decide to set a date and time to fight and see who will have control over that area. The fight between the Sharks and the Jets leads to the death of Riff, the leader of the Sharks, and Bernardo, the leader of the Jets. With both of their leaders dead, the gangs show remorse for each other and end their feud for good. “West Side Story” was chosen because of the substantial examples of gang violence and verbal police brutality present in the 1960’s.

              The Chicano way was the way it was during the 1940s in the city of Los Angeles. The title of my book is “Zoot Suit and Other Plays” written by Luis Valdez. This story takes place on the year 1942 in the city of Los Angeles, California. The way the story is that the main character of the story by the name of Henry Reyna, the ringleader of the 38th street gang, is unjustly charged for the Sleepy Lagoon murder of a man  and is sentenced to life in prison. He wasn’t the only one charged a few of his gang members were charged as well. Their lawyer George Shearer and a news reporter Alice Bloomfield worked for several months to get them out and after many protests and petitions the 38th street gang was released for lack of evidence to hold then guilty. The main character Henry Reyna is very prideful, brings a big influence to his people, and very optimistic. .

In Joseph Carens’ article, “Aliens and Citizens: The Case for Open Borders,” he insists on open borders. He claims that this idea of free movement has moral roots in which every human being deserves freedom and equality. In his article, Carens applies his argument by refuting three political theories of Robert Nozick, John Rawls and utilitarians. Carens addresses Robert Nozick’s theory by recognizing a common objection towards immigration. Similar to John Locke, Robert Nozick believes that humans in the state of nature have natural rights including the right to property as individuals. However, most people view property rights as collective or national as seen by popular opinion that “It’s our country. We can let in or keep out whomever we want” (Carens 252). As a

While the Exclusionary Rule sounds gratifying, assuring that evidence obtained illegally won’t be submitted it also seems to be flawed. Starting with the 2 exceptions of the “fruit of the poisonous tree” doctrine: 1.) If the police had an independent source of knowledge of the evidence aside from the fruits of the illegal search, then the doctrine will not exclude the discovered evidence. 2.) If discovery of the evidence was "inevitable", the

The State of Arizona is a gripping documentary that outlines the struggles that Arizona went through in dealing with illegal immigration. This saga follows the controversial SB1070 immigration law through the voices and lives of individuals who were on both sides of the coin. The flawed immigration system in the United States caused a ripple effect that hit Arizona hard and led to the tripling of the undocumented population in Arizona. This caused hatred towards the undocumented population due to fears of crime related to Mexican drug rings and competition for jobs. The federal government did not act on these immigration issues and this forced the state of Arizona to pass a series of legislatures that would restrict and control the rights

Last April 2010, Arizona signed into law one of the harshest Immigration laws this country has ever known. It requires that individual’s residing in Arizona carry documentation proving their right to be in the country legally. Several of the local police in Tucson and Phoenix disagree with the law saying that it puts enmity between them and the residents, while the courts say it will give them more authority and the tools they need to get offenders off the streets.

Several historical legislations have contributed to the intensification of structural racism in Arizona towards Latino immigrants that has been carried along to modern days. Most of them originated from past disputes over illegal immigration, which for the most part entail perceptions of illegal immigrants as “criminal aliens”.

The reason this documentary chose Arizona is due to a law that they passed in 2010 called SB1070. This law has quite a few parts, however the main subject of debate is that police officers are able to ask for proof of legal status if they have reasonable suspicion. Consequently, it sparked quite a bit of controversy with some believing that it was racial profiling. On the other hand, it appears to be enforcing our nation’s

For example, their arrest rates plummeted even though the number of criminal investigations rose up back in 2008 (Policing Borders, Pg.100). In their intention to fight illegal immigration, the Maricopa County Department created an extensive distrust between the latino communities and law enforcement authorities. The department's tactics against immigrants have also been very expensive resulting in very few major arrests. The department’s “crime suppression” tactics involve patrolling Hispanic neighborhoods without any evidence of crime being done. This violates policies that intend to prevent racial profiling (Policing Borders, Pg.101). When police promote the use of racial profiling, targeted groups become deviants in the eyes of the community and it becomes a social norm to stigmatize against these groups, in this case unauthorized immigrants. Since this analysis of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department, one of many counties in Arizona, before the implementation of SB 1070, the results today could possibly be tremendously

To be able afford a home in the United States, some type of immigration status is needed because taxes and rent needs to be paid. Also, obtaining a job with a reasonable income needs to be received to be able to pay the rent, otherwise many immigrants remain homeless, live in shelters, and live with a family member or friends.

The process of discovery is often, a rigid and gruelling journey which leads an individual or group to formulate new perspectives as new truths are uncovered. Ivan O’Mahoney thorugh the T.V. mini-series Go Back To where You Came From utilises a myriad of film and narrative techniques to convey how the provocative and the transformative power of emotional and physical discoveries triggers an epiphany. Leading to the development of an individual’s ability to appreciate the complexity and severity of Australia’s asylum seeker crisis.

When talking about a true American crime story, one can start and end the discussion with one of the most powerful and influential true stories ever told: GoodFellas. Based on the incredible true story, the film follows the rise and fall of Lucchese crime family associates Henry Hill and his friends throughout the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 1980s. Originally written as the non-fiction novel “Wise Guys” by Nicholas Pileggi, the story takes you deep into the world of arguably the most notorious crime posse America has ever known: the Italian Mafia. It is viewed by scores of critics and moviegoers alike as one of the greatest crime/drama movies ever filmed – so needless to say, with such a

To analyze the strength and limitation of each film form in terms of conveying the complexity of the immigration debate and immigration experience about how different genres such as documentaries, feature films, and science fiction are portrayed. The documentary is real that brings out history and people own perspective. In the documentary, The State of Arizona strength is they holds up their own mirror which allows American voices to be heard, asking Americans who they are, and who they want to be or become. The weakness is how in 2010, the Arizona Senate passed controversial immigration law which made opponents felt that inevitably will lead to racial profiling. If those who choose to stay organize boycotts, daring acts of civil disobedience, then the families has to prepare for the possibility of separation by sudden deportation.

Since the invention of the plane and other flying machines, there has been the thought of making an unmanned flying machine. Today we know our unmanned aerial vehicles by another name: drones. In my paper I will be using both Colonel Dawn Zoldi’s article about drones at home and “The Drone as Privacy Catalyst”, by Ryan Calo to evaluate privacy-related matters that people should consider when it comes to drones. Zoldi’s analysis of how the government can help with personal privacy and unwarranted use of unwarranted searches will aid my own analysis. I will focus on drones and how they relate to the fourth amendment, taking a nuanced approach to operational purpose, renewing focus on collection, dissemination and retention, molding the remedy to the violation, drone as privacy catalyst and finally adding my own thoughts and criticisms about how this could possibly affect privacy.

Drone technology is advancing rapidly and it is changing the way in which things are being done. Drones are widely used by many people as a hobby or for career purposes, as well as for military purposes by the United States. Drones provide the U.S military with many benefits, which helps the military to operate efficiently and in a safe manner. Businesses are utilizing this technology as well in order to make their companies run more efficiently, as well as to improve their customer service. Drone technology will positively impact our society; drastically change our culture and political system and definitely advance our economy as well as help enhance our environment.
