Immigration Social Change

Immigration has changed a lot throughout the years in American history, not only in laws about immigration, but about places where immigrants came from, and the different races that immigrated. These factors have changed throughout history by shaping the social and economic aspects of the United States. Immigration has changed for the better and for the worse. It has gone to as far as making camps for Japanese Americans and deporting them and taking their belongings, to as low as giving immigrants papers and letting them stay.

During the late 1800s, inhabitants from all parts of the world made the decision to leave their jobs and homes to immigrate to the United States. They fled rising taxes, famine, crop failure, land and job shortages, to come to the United States. Perceived to be one of the greater countries for economic opportunity, many sought freedom from religious and political persecution. Around twelve million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900. Before the Civil War, the majority of immigrants were from Germany, Ireland, and England. There would be a drastic change in the next three decades. After the Civil War, immigrants

Plyler v. Doe was a case in which a Texas statue withheld local and state funding for the education of immigrants who were deemed illegal aliens. In this case, the plaintiffs represented school-aged children of Mexican dissent. These children were just recently admitted to the U.S.A. Since the students were undocumented people the school district asked parents to parents to pay $1,000, which would cover the expenses for the school, and enroll them into school. This case was then brought to the district court which found that the reason for higher admission rates wasn’t because of the increase in immigrants, but the increase of people in the surrounding areas, which were legal residents. Because of this the district court decided that illegal

Today like yesterday, the day before that, and a hundred years ago the United States continues to face many social issues.

DACA was created by the Obama administration in June of 2012 with the vision to relief deportation and giving protection to foreign minors who entered the country illegally so that they could stay, work and get education without being deported to their country of origin. DACA has been entitling to controversy and uncertainty since the Trump administration because this action provides the recipients the opportunity to receive a two year renewable deferral of deportation, a work permit and benefits provided by the government. This action has been rescind by the President Donald Trump on September of 2017; more than 800,000 recipients (known as DREAMers) are left with concerns, worriers and fears of being deported to their country of birth because their families, education, friends and life is here in The United States.

Immigration has a great impact on first generation immigrants. Studies show that acculturation and assimilation have wide-ranging effects on the groups involved, but mostly on the immigrants' lives. There are positive and negative attributes. Attributes that are due to the issues associated with integrating cultures, and broadly related to the greater issue of immigration. The issues and discrimination towards first generation immigrants cause them to have limitations throughout their lifetime, in the country that they have moved to. Furthermore, the Hispanic and Latino community have lived through this problem for so long. They are always the group to be affected by it because they lose a sense

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) was created in 2012 by the Obama administration after the DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act failed. It allows children under the age of 17 that were brought into the country illegally to gain temporary protection from deportation, a Social Security card, a driver’s license, and permission to obtain a work

The Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals (DACA) protects eligible young immigrants who came to the United States as children from deportation. It grants young undocumented immigrants a work permit and protection from deportation. Although there has been controversy about keeping this policy, the people protected under DACA contribute to society and American economy, also keeping DACA is about keeping a promise, and it is constitutional. It exists for the good policy for the nation, its citizens, and those children that DACA supports.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which is a policy that was created on June 15, 2012 by our previous president Obama. The policy began to take place on August 15, 2017 for eligible young undocumented individuals. Former president Obama states, taking away DACA is not only “Cruel”, its also “self” defeating, as these young undocumented individuals only want to build bright futures, they want to start new businesses, staff our labs, serve in our military, and otherwise contribute to the country we love. And its cruel.” In this article, Obama argues against Trumps decision on voiding DACA, deportation of young indivduals striving to create a future for themselves could all

Supreme Court decided in Plyler v. Doe that the equal protection provision of the Constitution's 14th Amendment requires public schools to admit illegal alien children, on the presumption that denial of public education to children whose parents brought them illegally to the United States is not a rational response to states' concerns about illegal immigration. 1 The opinion, however, was based on specific circumstances that could change and it did not apply to education beyond mandatory public schooling (qtd. in Stewart, par. 8).

DACA or Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals is a immigration policy put in place in 2012 by the Obama administration. It allows child immigrants, also known as dreamers to stay in our country for work and school purposes without getting deported.

The United States is commonly know as a melting pot of nations, in which people from around the world have emigrated to form a homogeneous yet varied culture. Although we come from different ethnic groups, we are usually bound together through our common English language. This becomes an issue, however, when immigrants are not familiar with English and American culture, and instead attempt to keep their own heritage alive. They are often torn between identities through language, the one they speak at home which they are familiar with, and the one they must adhere to in public. This often leads to struggle and conflict on both sides, dealing with different cultures and how people react when assimilation occurs. Because of this, living in the United States often requires us to completely accept only one identity, even though hints of the other may spill over at times.
