Immigration: Attempts To Cross The Border

These are just some examples of what and who tries to prevent immigrants from crossing over. Some do successfully cross over. Many Mexicans come for the search of a better life for their kids and family whether its to send them to school or supplies and uniform. Whatever the

Many people are unaware of the heartbreak that takes place on our border in the south. Between the media and uneducated Americans, the immigration at the border needs to be addressed or our country will be overrun with illegals according to the news and social media. The true heart-breaking story cannot be told or our country would not stand for this inhuman behavior. There are many reasons for crossing the border illegally. For instance, women could be fleeing for their life, looking for freedom, wanting the chance to raise their family without the fear of abuse, or just because someone told them their life would be better if they could just get into the United States. Regardless the reason, everyone should at least be asked why they are willing to risk their life and their families lives to live in the United States?

Disputes has sparked between the correlation of citizens and crime due to the statement made by President Donald J. Trump. There has been a bias belief that immigrants have came to America and have consumed all the jobs and create a terror in society. There is a negative bias towards the immigrants due to the severity of crimes committed. Due to the negative bias, immigrants are deemed to increase the danger to national security and public safety. There is a large disparity between the total number of immigrants compared to citizens so crime rates are used to compare.

Imagine as a young Mexican woman citizen in her mid-twenties who is living in a horrible conditions in the Southern part of Mexico with no job and with four kids. She also has terrible sickness condition and doesn 't have any health care and insurance to take care of her and her children. The mother is thinking about to move from her current place to a much better place, U.S., but however, she has not filled out any legal documents to move to the United States of America. So then, she picked up everything she has and her kids, too. When she arrives at the national border of Mexico and United States, then she have to get across the border without anyone founds out, because she is not legally to do that, anyway. The most important reason to

Unfortunately, not all illegal immigrants have the right intentions. This is where the concern of safety comes into play. There are some that jump the border to perform illegal activities. The drug cartels have been illegally smuggling

Six and a half billion dollars. Ladies and gentlemen, that is the approximate cost of a border that would stretch from San Diego to Texas. A chain-linked, steel, and barbed-wire border that would block hard work, dreams, and an inevitable fate. Through the brutal deserts, dehydration, and pain, only about a fourth of the immigrants trying to get to America make it. That means so much because of how many people try to accomplish this feat, considering still around nine-hundred thousand immigrants still make it. In all reality, borders are truly just an imaginary line some important people with wigs created. We, as a whole, decide how important things are. Money's just paper, an MLB star is just a normal human. However, something that always gets us, something that is made such a big fuss about, is a two-thousand mile long border, also known as The Mexican-American Border. Think about this. If we have such a powerful military and border patrol, why would we need such an intimidating wall? Or even why do we disown and hate these immigrants? Better yet, why would we spend all this money when we are trillions

The U.S. Border Patrol to me is very important to the United States of America and to me as well. Without the Border Patrol, America would be a goat standing in the middle of a wolf cage. The Border Patrol and their agents border the boundaries of America so we can be safe in our homes. People don’t realize how important any kind of law enforcement is, until the day that they need assistance comes. I don’t take our men and women who protect us Americans; it is something that not everyone can say that they have. I have no one in my family that has worked with the Border Patrol, and I want to be the first in my family to join the Border Patrol. I am from Del Rio Texas, a border town neighbors with Mexico. The U.S. Border

Crossing the border of Mexico and the United States comes with a price for both the person crossing the border and the United States. The person trying to illegally cross risks be sent back to Mexico and risk getting in trouble with the law. If the person makes it to America that person risks being deported back to Mexico. America has previously been for the deportation of illegal immigrants. Deportation is not a stranger in the United States.“In 1984 illegal aliens were deported with the official term of ‘Operation Wetback’ (McGrath).” If an illegal immigrant stays in the United States they could harm the American way of life.It is crucial that all illegal immigrants are deported from the United States because they are taking jobs from Americans and they are causing Americans to lose money.

No one chooses to cross the border unless there are absolutely no other options. Many Mexicans choose to either downplay the event or not talk about it at all. The act of crossing the border is laden with powerful symbolism – to Americans, it represents a larger willingness of Mexicans to violate the law. However, if people knew the true story, of the risks, and what it takes to cross the border, then they would have a different perspective. For most people, when you cross the border, you have to pay thousands of dollars to the “coyote,” people who specialize in human trafficking and importing immigrants across the U.S.-Mexican border. If you are traveling with a child, there is a high chance that you will not be able to cross with them. Although

The United States is a country primarily revolved around diversity being that it has always been made up of immigrants. For a long period of time now, we have come to face the issue of immigrants entering this country illegally at large numbers, however the number of undocumented immigrants continues to rise, but so has the government’s efforts to either keep the illegal immigrants out or deport the ones already inside. It is one thing to commit the felony of entering a country illegally, but it is another to try and resolve such an issue in an immoral fashion. I understand the government's main concern is to keep its citizens safe, and that for someone to enter a country illegally it is considered crime, however since the recent presidential

As a migrant and it’s family set out on a long dangerous journey, they must be thinking will we make it across? Will we last through this hard journey or will we not even make it halfway? This journey to cross the U.S. Mexico border is unsafe for these migrants who are in search of a fresh start or a better life. Not only is it hard enough to get through a hot blazing desert but to not have water or the correct resources to get them through is dangerous. They struggle with the lack resources but also the dangerous guidance from coyotes. These migrants think they are ready and prepared but in reality some of them might not even make it to the border. These people are just so concentrated on the dream across the border but some have a rude awaking

With the recent presidential elections with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, it has many people talking about the accusations that Trump said about Mexican and other ethnic groups. Donald Trump mentions that he is going to build a wall and will deport all Mexicans because the only thing they bring is crime. This leads me to the fact that most of the Latinos are mostly against him since he is mentioning bad things about the Mexicans. One of the biggest things that Latinos and Mexican Americans look for in a president, is if that president will help with immigration. Many people who come to the United States illegally are really afraid to be deported back to their home country, since the United States provides a better life for them. The immigration

Since April of 2016 the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has reported more than 400 refugee claimants illegally crossing the Canadian border. Many of the migrants are reported to be entering Canada along the Manitoba border from Minnesota, landing in the small town of Emerson which rests on the 520km stretch of border that the CBSA and RCMP are responsible for securing and monitoring. Quebec has also experienced an influx of refugee claimants illegally entering their border, approximately 823 between April and November of 2016. The amount of migrants illegally entering Canada through this stretch of border has increased in recent years, resulting in calls for the government to implement comprehensive measures to control the illegal crossings and apply the current laws that require migrants to enter legally through Canada’s immigration process.

Immigration is important for the growth of the economy because it’s a major contributions towards the economy. The United States has often been referred to as a global melting pot due to its assimilation of diverse cultures, nationalities, and ethnicities. Today, this metaphor may be an understatement. Edstam and Carlson an immigration activists reports that, without the extra work and consumption provided by immigrants, the economy of the United States would collapse. They include in the article saying that, despite the common notion that immigrants steal jobs from Americans, the 2005 Economic Report shows that The Federal Reserve in fact recently raised its benchmark interest rate because it observed a strengthening U.S. economy with reduced unemployment, rising wages and some labor shortages Immigrants continue to strengthen local economies through their higher productivity and increased consumption (Edstam and Carlson). An article by Savajlenka added, Studies show that competition with American workers among immigrants is very minimal and limited to the unskilled labor. Therefore, Savajlenka immigration analyst states that, “Numerous studies have documented that immigrants are needed to replace the large number of retiring Baby Boomers and that the future growth of the U.S. workforce will come from immigrants and their children” (Savajlenka). This is an additional like a shot in occupations that presently use several older employees, like janitorial and truck driving

Illegal immigration is an increasingly huge issue in the United States. To solve this crisis or at least slow down the rate of illegal immigration, solutions with actions must be put into place. The first step would be to verify citizenship or legal residency for everyone. There should be a national database that can be accessed that would instantaneously verify this information. The federal government should employ Agents to go door to door to procure documentation from each person in a household to verify their citizenship or legal residency and then upload that documentation to the national database. If verification is not readily available, the person should be given 30 days to get the required documentation.
