Being different can bring many bulling from school age children and teens. Being an undocumented child can also bring the feeling of unwelcomes from society because they are being told they should not be the country illegally (Olsen, 1988). Jose states “I remember middle school being the worst when it came to feeling welcome by others. I was put in ESL (English Second Language) this is where I met people that I’m still friends with. Many were in the same situation as me. We would play soccer together during nutrition and lunch, on our way back to our classed or after school is when we would get verbally attacked with name calling such as; nopal frigoleros, wetbacks, aliens and would even scream that the migra (border patrol) is coming”.

This is causing the number of illegal immigrants from other countries such as India to increase. A report was imbedded into the article showing the peak of 6.5 million illegal immigrants from Mexico in 2007 the numbers have been dropping. The article also explains how Donald Trump is taking his own toll on this issue, he has "promised" to build a wall to keep illegal Mexican immigrants out of the United States yet this is not the population of illegal immigrants he needs to be concerned about. In this past year the number for illegal Mexican immigrants has fallen to be the lowest since 1969.

Immigration takes up more population than most people would think. According to Jens Manuel Krogstad and Jeffrey S. Passel’s article “5 facts about illegal immigration in the U.S.”. In 2014 in the United States we had 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants which makes up 3.5 % of the nation 's population. But our highest unauthorized immigration was in 2007, when we had 12.2 million which is 4 % of the population. Krogstad and Passel also said that Mexicans are about half of the unauthorized immigrants in the country they made up 52 % but the numbers have been declining in 2012 which was 5.9 % which was the smallest. Krogstad and Passel also said that six states make up about 60% of the unauthorized migrants, which are California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. In 2009-2012 in several East Coast states the population increased but in many western states population decreased. In the following states Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, Idaho, Virginia, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania have had unauthorized immigration
“Illegal immigration is the entry of non-U.S. citizens into the United States without their having applied for entry at one of the many border crossings” (Illegal Immigration 9). There are numerous ways that illegal immigrants travel into the United States. The most common forms of entry are through Canada and Mexico. However, illegal immigration did not used to exist. In fact, immigration without applying to enter into the country was allowed in the United States at the beginning of 1655. Over a time period that stretched 230 years, the United States embraced immigrants to help the new country grow and thrive. Unfortunately, after the Revolutionary War the United States began to monitor all immigrations. Since then, laws have been passed
Mexicans began arriving to the United States shortly after the Mexican American War in 1848, which was a battle between the U.S. and Mexico for territory in regions such as Texas and California. From 1850 to about 1880 55,000 Mexicans migrated to the United States to work in the fields that had recently become a part of the U.S. after being owned by Mexico. Between 1850 and 1924 Mexicans were not viewed as illegal aliens but more as helping hands in the fields. It wasn’t until the U.S. Border Patrol was created that Mexicans began to lose their privileges to be in America without being legal citizens. Starting in the mid-1990s there was a peak in the number of Mexicans entering the U.S. but it then dropped significantly
Since the discovery of America, it has always been a place where people have migrated to, whether it’d be for religious reasons, financial reasons or just to start a new life. From the time of Christopher Columbus and up until now, immigration has been occurring continuously and it has made America what it is today. Though, America has had problems with increasing population due to immigration and from 1000 into the 1940, the growth has allowed more than 16 million Europeans to migrate to the United States. As time went on, immigration only increased as more immigrants were coming from Asia and Latin America. The immigration between 1989 and 2004 allowed more than 15 million new immigrants to
Immigration is what has made America the country it is today. Immigration trends have increased and decreased over time, reaching an all-time peak in 1990. In that year alone, approximately 1,800,000 people immigrated into America. The current annual immigration rate is lower, with a little more than one million people entering this country every year. Nearly all of these immigrants are from Asia and Latin American countries; African and European
Immigrating to the United States in not a simple process. Millions immigrate to America but many millions more are denied a visa or forced to cross the border illegally because of the limited number of applicants that the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, now a department of Homeland Security, provides as well as the extremely stringent process that is imposed upon migrating applicants. Even getting a simple tourist visa can be a tiring ordeal and beyond reach of most foreign citizens who are not wealthy. This results in numbers of people who are forced to look for other means such as resorting to coyotes, people who smuggle people into America, or corporate coyotes,
America is the land of opportunity. People across the world know this, and want to come live here for various reasons, whether it be for better jobs, better futures for their children, or even to escape war or persecution. Emigrants have been making their way here from their home countries since 1945 (Hunter, 2013), however; within the past 15 years, the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States has been steadily increasing (Rivera-Batiz, 2001). Because of this, the United States should instill stricter regulations when it comes to enforcing and protecting our borders; the uncontrolled flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. is undermining our economy, contributing to the amount of crime in the country, and taking a toll on the environment. The United States has the largest number of illegals: approximately 11 million (Hunter, 2013). Going through the proper procedures for immigrants to enter the country will help ease the transition and minimize its effects, for the immigrants themselves and for our own country.
It was recorded in 2012 that approximately 40.8 million illegal immigrants live in the United States, which makes up thirteen percent of the country. “Data on the nativity of the U.S. population were first collected 1850 decennial census. That year, there were 2.2 million immigrants in the United States, representing almost ten percent of the total population” (Nwosu, Chiamaka). What is the total number of immigrants that have entered the United States since 2000? Approximately thirty percent of the 40.8 million residing in America entered between 2000 and 2009 (Nwosu, Chiamaka). The majority of the
There were 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States in 2014 ("5 Facts about Illegal Immigration in the U.S." 1). Every year, thousands of people from all around the world leave their homes, cities, and countries for various reasons: they run from the oppression of their government, they run for religious freedom, they run for safety from war, or they run for economic freedom. These individuals are all looking for one thing, a better and safer place to live out their lives.

Donald Trump’s election released a flood of bad blood and hostility against Mexican-Americans. Shortly of his election, Mexican-Americans across the country were being verbally and physically attacked. At the elementary school where I work, kindergarteners teased their Mexican-American classmates that they could be deported, or that their parents would be deported leaving them as orphans. “Go back to where you came from,” they would say. Parents defended their children’s actions, saying it was just “kids being kids.” Many racists don’t think they are racist or insist they are just joking. Their message is clear, however: “You don’t belong here.”
