Immigration Struggles

Illegal immigrants face many struggles voyaging to a new beginning. They sacrifice family, time and endure hardships to simply get the chance of the American dream. Voyages can range from cross the oceans to hot dry deserts where their fate is undecided. Amnesty will help prevent the hardships they face to a very minimal in some cases even completely stopping it. Many lives are lost in relation with the treacherous voyages but when will one life be too many? The answer is one too many have already been lost.

The political backlash to the widespread economic hardships of the time, which should have been aimed at the capitalist system of exploitation, fell instead on minority workers and their families. Mexican immigrants, welcomed as laborers during the economic boom of the war years, were scapegoated during the depression and subjected to racist attacks and severe immigration restrictions. Over one million immigrants came from Mexico to the United States between 1900 and 1930, filling the demand for low-wage, unskilled workers in the growing U.S. economy. Most Mexican Americans were farmers and they settled in the communities in California and the Southwest. Many Mexicans and their children became U.S. citizens. Mexican Americans faced a great deal of increasing hostility because they were competing with whites for whatever low-paying jobs that were available.

Immigration is a kind of movement of people into destination land, which can be traced back to a million years ago. Also, the debate over whether immigrants should be given more rights has been an intractable problem for a long period. According to statistics from Wikipedia, as for 2005, the United Nations reported that there were nearly 191 million international immigrants worldwide, about three percent of the world 's population (Immigration). Although it does not seem to take up a large proportion, actually the amount of the immigrant population is particularly huge. In this way, policies on immigration are considered remarkably significant. Moreover, recently the attacks in European countries have also poured fuel on the already-heated debate over immigration policy. In most cases, local citizens and governments do not welcome immigrants into their own country, which is partly due to the discrimination. Obviously, it is unfair to them. Immigrants should be treated equally and given more rights than the rights they possess now because they contribute to boosting economy, creating a harmonious society and they are legal immigrants.

Every year, millions of immigrants come into the United States. Generally, the United States policies are complex but the topic of immigration in the country is far more complicated to understand. Currently, the topic is extremely controversial yet the government has been trying to avoid addressing it for quite a while now. Nevertheless, it is very rare for a candidate to make immigration policy part of his platform but in the 2016 presidential election Donald Trump even made it part of his campaign which caused world-wide controversy. Trump claimed that he would “make America great again” and create a high security wall along the border between Mexico and the United States. Nevertheless, any decision taken by the government will affect everyone in the country, whether in a positive or negative manner, as “an estimated 11.4 million unauthorized immigrants were living in the United States in January 2012 compared to 11.5 million in January 2011.” The numbers keep increasing every day

In the United States, there has been many causes on immigration within the United States. The controversial issue revolving the initial question that stimulates and impacts of the United States, is, “Should the Government allow immigrants who are here illegally to become U.S. citizens? To locate the immediate cause of such an important question is to contextualize and condense the question to a matter of how economic impact is portrayed in the United States and how undocumented immigrants bring economic growth. In this research and analysis essay, there will be a immediate cause, history of the controversy, and how the propositions are demonstrated within economic impact within the United States.

On the topic of immigration, Donald Trump has stated, "But you have people coming in and I 'm not just saying Mexicans, I 'm talking about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists and they 're coming into this country." On the same issue, Hillary Clinton has said the following: “I’ve talked about undocumented immigrants hundreds of times and fought for years for comprehensive immigration reform… We are a country built by immigrants and our diversity makes us stronger as a nation — it’s something to be proud of, celebrate, and defend.” As shown through the radically different perspectives highlighted in the aforementioned passages, the topic of immigration policy has quickly become the most prominent discussion of the upcoming election. How then do we evaluate the immigration policies proposed by the likely Presidential nominees, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, given our country’s founding principles? The answer to this question lies in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Our nation’s legal documents should be used to evaluate their immigration views because they are the basis of our country and the values America embodies. Given America’s founding principles of equality, freedom and equal protection under the law as stated in our country’s Declaration of Independence and Constitution, extreme protectionist immigration laws contradict our nation’s founding principles. In comparison to Donald Trump’s overt and impractical anti-immigrant

Now, I acknowledge both sides of the illegal immigration issue. I realize that Americans stigmatize the general immigrant population as competition for jobs and benefits. In addition, the public misconceives that illegal immigrants are criminals (when in fact the crime rate among immigrants is lower than the native population). I also realize that immigrants are an economic boon. Finally, regardless of how they became “illegal”, I realize that these immigrants have families (like mine), have lives (like mine), and have opportunities (like mine).

Since the first settlers of Texas to the present day, the rugged and individual attitude of the Texan people has often resulted in serious squabbles and disagreements between the federal government and the state. These issues stem from education to environmental policies and also include welfare problems, such as women’s rights and social policy. However, the struggle of immigration policy dating back to the start of the century has evolved into a very complex issue. On one hand, the U.S government is currently a divided government, as the results from the General election of 2014 identified rapid gains by the Republican Party in the House of Representatives and the Senate cultivating a strong conservative viewpoint while the office of President is currently dominated by a Democratic president, Barack Obama, which backs a liberal attitude of protecting the immigrants. Meanwhile in Texas, The intense conservative view of the state allows a common battle with the federal government, as the issue is much more relevant to the border state and does everything to curb federal legislation from protecting immigrants to deporting them and securing the borders. The issue that arises in this fierce standoff between the state and the federal government is that the poor, low income immigrants are held in a perpetual sense of deportation and lack of citizenship for their children or other people who wish to immigrate.

In the Republican presidential campaign, one of the more major issues discussed is immigration and how there should be more walls and deportation made. Becoming more accepting towards immigrants can lead to opportunities to becoming part of an open society. Despite the fact that there are more things to worry about than immigration, it is not a big problem. Not all Americans are affected by the immigrants. Immigrants in school are being bullied because they are not citizens of the U.S.A. Kids who come to the U.S. usually struggle academically. With the constant struggle regarding immigration within our society, it is not fair to those who want a better life and are genuinely good people.

Many different individuals can view immigration in many distinct ways. Some view it as a chance to improve ones life and as a way to secure a bright and prosperous future for their children and loved ones. While others refer to immigration as the downfall of this country, and with the continuous increase will cause the unanimous destruction of pure American ideologies and life styles. The most obvious way for me to start this essay is in a way to relate to the topic of immigration. In order to speak for myself I must first clarify, I was born in the United States but I am as Hispanic and very connected with my roots as is possible for someone born in this country. From a very young age I was always told how my parents traveled to this country in two different ways, my mom came with permission to enter the country and become a resident; this was something that was considered very rare at the time, and my father had to travel various different countries using fake passports with a different identity in order to reach our beautiful country. While their paths to the United States where different their goal was the same, freedom, liberty, and the hope for a bright and prosperous future. Like my parents there are millions of immigrants who come to this country to achieve there dreams and provide a stable and secure life for their families. In my personal opinion I do not believe that the right of migrating to this country should be removed, that being said I do consider that as it

One of the biggest crises the United States fracases is illegal immigrant. Even though we know about the problem we don’t do anything that is effective. Because of illegal immigrant people born and raised in America are losing jobs.

The topic I plan to write my research paper on is immigration, it’s a very interesting topic to me and is getting a lot of attention right now in the in the media and the presidential campaigns. The issue has a lot of dimensions to it and there is many different options on how to deal with this issue. This issue has become a big concern to policymakers for many different reasons. There are concerns with how immigration ties into national security, how immigration will affect the economy and jobs availability, how to deal with the changing demography and how to deal with the social issues that bring, how to deal with illegal immigrants and how to prevent more from entering. All of these are big concerns for Americans because they can affect

In the world, there are many topics that cause controversy to arise. Recently in November when the results of the election were in, many people were shocked. People didn’t believe Donald Trump would actually win. Now that our President elect Trump will soon take office, the topic of immigration has brought a lot of conflict. Using the example of immigration, the ideologies of the political parties varies because Liberal’s are in favor of legal immigration and are willing to pardon illegal immigrants and offer them same health benefits and education that citizens have, while Conservatives only support legal immigration and believe immigrants are not entitled to the same rights, Libertarian’s support welcoming immigrants with good intentions who want a better life, and Communitarian’s are pro-immigration and are strongly against forced or even violent deportations.

The exact nature of immigration as an issue in American politics is dependent upon who you talk to. For some, the issue is only illegal immigration and not legal immigration. Some people believe that both are an issue, while others think that neither is a major problem.

While immigrants are facing problem, they are trying to solve problem before the problem is getting worse. My sister says to my mom again “you better return all of them or change them to red wine. To my belief, those wines are too dry for you, you won’t like it.” My mom just keeps in silent and put the wines back to bag. In this situation, my sister provides a solution for my mom about the problem of buying wrong wine, and my sister takes control over my mom and that make my mom feel bad about the thing she has made. The hierarchy of family structure change when my mom is facing the problem and need help from my sister. So taking in the solution or not is based on my mom’s decision.
