“The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.” (-Mark Twain) Being a child of immigrant parents who move to American can be hard. There is a lingering feeling of not feeling like a child belongs. They are stuck in the invisible world between where their parents came from, in this specific case, Asia and where the child lives now. It can be difficult to be raised as an Asian American and learning both culture and traditions. Many Asian American kids end up deviating from the Asian culture and embracing the American culture. However, children of immigrants should embrace their own culture in order to keep traditions alive and be proud of who they are.

The U.S. should accept refugees who have background checks because they’re trying to flee from extreme violence, we don’t want history to repeat itself, and they want to start over, they’re not committing terror attacks.

The refugee crisis that plagues the world is often referred to as the Syrian refugee crisis, and Western countries are usually concerned only for the affect it has on them and their country. Yet the countries taking in the most refugees are the relatively stable nations in the Middle East that are closest to those in crisis, like Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, not the wealthy nations most capable of supporting the refugees. These countries are often small and suffering their own economic and political woes, and struggle with the masses of refugees entering the countries. Various groups are working to raise money and support for these refugees, and other poor African and Middle Eastern countries are attempting to do their best, but without the help of the wealth West, the refugee crisis is not going to go away. A question has been posed to the nations of the world; are they willing to take in any of the millions of the desperate refugees?

Should america let refugees in the us. I think that refugees should not be allowed in the usa and they should be kicked out of the us because nearly 44% of america are non english speakers that used to be18% so non english speakers are slowly over powering us americans and they will soon kick us out of our country we should kick them out and keep them out for america's sake.

Media outlets often inflate or speculate about either the numbers of asylum seekers, refugees and immigrants. Hence causing the public to feel threatened by these numbers. Not only does the media scrutinise numbers but newspapers and television images and videos play “dominant stereotype of the young dangerous man breaking into Australia and threatening ‘our’ communities 7”. Unsurprisingly “31 precent of headlines and 53 precent of text about asylum across all newspapers has negative connotations. The media has had a detrimental affect on the outcome of the Australian security border protection by continually asking the question “What is being done to prevent these terrorist acts from the public? 7”

The prominence in relation to Asylum Seekers and Refugees has become a contemporary issue within Australian society and has amounted vast controversy in the media. A Refugee can be defined as a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster as found in the 1951 convention relating to the status of refugees, in which Australia is a signatory to. Every refugee has or will be an asylum seeker. An Asylum Seeker is a person who has left their home country as a political refugee seeking asylum in another but has not had their claim assessed. Asylum seekers have experienced serious breaches of their rights, religious freedom and justice to reach safety. If asylum seekers are found to be

One Australian Catholic organisation that works with refugees and asylum seekers is Catholic Care. This particular organisation helps refugees and asylum seekers in several ways such as the asylum seeker support program and the refugee settlement program. The asylum seeker support program offers hope to all the asylum seekers, whether there in a family or by themselves. Upon receiving hope the asylums can do anything they want, because “you can achieve anything you set your mind to”. They also help move asylum seekers from immigration detention centres to community detention centres. Community detention centres have a more constructive and progressive outcome to help asylums reach their potential. Furthermore the refugee settlement program

Established in 1986, the primary mission of the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights is to “to serve as a forum to share information and analysis, educate communities and the general public, and to develop and coordinate plans of action on important immigrant and refugee issues” (NNIRR, n.d.). The organization also states that their primary focus is to fight for the rights of immigrants and refugee policy in the United States of America. The NNIR utilizes numerous tools, in their efforts of achieving the mission and organizational goals. The organization works to connect with other social and economic justice groups across the U.S. (NNIRR, n.d.). They also release reports on issues that are important to their goals; while

There are numerous reasons immigrants should be granted access into the United States. However, many individuals in the U.S. do not agree with immigrants being welcomed into the U.S. The reasons behind the beliefs are that immigrants supposedly pose a threat to the states and are leaching off of the U.S economy. It is likely that immigrants are stereotyped against and often forgotten for what they offer to the economy. Not only does business owners benefit from immigrants who work for cheap labor, but immigrants are also responsible for a great portion of the construction workforce, even more immigrants do not pose more of a threat to our country than our own citizens do.

Asylum seekers are defined as someone who has fled their own country and seek international protection. They pursue safety and cannot return unless the situation that forced them to leave improves. Each Asylum seeker has different experiences and reasons for moving to another country. Many asylum seekers flee their own country because there is war, tortured for own religious or political beliefs or because their human rights are not being respected. The term ‘boat people’ is a racist remark and has become intertwined into society since the 1970’s with the first arrival of boats carrying people seeking asylum from the aftermath of the Vietnam War. The first onset of asylum seekers arrived in April of 1976 in Darwin which was the first of

Denmark's Plan to take assets from asylum seekers is not only degrading to those who are trying to get into the country, and for those people inside of the country. As an immigrant myself, I surely know the struggle of leaving one's country to go to another one. I reject, and oppose Denmark's Plan to take the assets of migrants. For the people who are trying to get into Denmark their struggle is even more real. The Wall Street Journal also reports that thousands of hundreds of migrants will try to reach Denmark But how many of those migrants will reach Denmark? The Danish government have set up a new plan quoting " Danish police would be given the power to take cash and valuables at more than 10,000 kroner (1,450 U.S) although with the exception

Immigration is a problem that the United States has faced for many years. Immigration to the United States started around the year 1600 during the first European settlements on the east coast. The first successful English colony started in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia.Once tobacco was found to be a profitable crop, many plantations were established along the Chesapeake Bay.This began the first and longest era of immigration, lasting until the revolution in 1775. During this time settlements grew from English in the New World to the British America.Large numbers of young men and women came along as indentured servants to the colonies who needed help on the farms,or shops.They were provided housing,food,clothing but did not receive wages.At
