Migrants Are Being Affected By Immigrants

In “The True Story of Pocahontas,” the authors, Dr. Linwood “Little Bear” Custalow and Angela L. Daniel “Silver Star,” accurately describe the true story of Pocahontas. Many people to this day do not know her true life, only the stories broadcasted on television. Throughout chapter four, the authors describe the rocky relationship between John Smith and his Englishmen and the Powhatan people.

This affects me personally because I belong to immigrant family who came from another country so we could live a better future. Americans are always pointing their fingers towards immigrants for the country's problem such as the downfall in the economy (taking away jobs), crimes, changing of culture, population,etc, but in reality immigrants are literally building America up brick by brick. People believe that the US is a best place to live because there is more freedom, protection, and opportunity. No country has the right to take that away from anyone. America was formed by immigrants, then why are we stopping now?

In “Immigrants” by Pat Mora, they are struggling to achieve acceptance and help their family have a better future. The parents are trying so hard to associate their children with “American traditions” and still are left wondering if they will be accepted in America. In my opinion nothing is worth loosing your actual culture or values. They are literally willing to do whatever it takes to transform heir children into American traditions. “Feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie” (Line 2 Mora). Both Hot dogs and Apple pie are both American food and American culture. Wait there is more they are even considering changing the names of their children. Buying them blonde dolls and football cleats both have typical American

We talked about push and pull. Terms used to describe why we have to move (push) and what is in the new place that we could do to survive (push). Many immigrants felt they had no choice, but to move to an unknown place, start over, and hope for the best. During the later part of the 19th century and early 20th century, people from all over Europe and Asia. From the Middle East and Canada. Some people where running from oppression, some from famine, and some just wanted a better life for themselves and their families. People decided that the United States was the land of opportunity and if they worked hard enough, they were able to survive. We read Mr. Doyle’s letter (our primary source) and got an idea of what it was like first had

With an election year just a year away, the topic of immigration and how it affects us as a nation will be one of the more controversial and hotly debated subjects. The United States deficit has reached 18 trillion dollars, this has made many question the financial implications of President Obamas executive order on immigration. Social programs are paid for by federal, state, and local governments and policy makers and the public want to know how these programs will be affected by his executive order. Those that defend the order state that the nation only stands to gain on tax revenue that had

The United States of America today resembles a melting pot, because it is filled with many different ethnicities, cultures, and religions, due to the incoming immigrants from different countries. However, there was a time when immigrants were a threat to America, were despised due to economic conflicts, and were socially unaccepted because of their differences. The presence of Immigrants during the 1920s significantly affected America socially and economically, increasing negative attitudes towards the “new immigrants” as evidenced by the First Red Scare, labor and workforce, and societies and neighborhoods.

A popular belief among immigrants is America is a place full of opportunities that leads to a “better life”. Most immigrants often come to America to escape from their poverty and hoping to find better jobs and a richer education. Instead antithesis to their American dream, they endured many hardships and discrimination. Among these people were the Filipinos, who thought that the streets of America were painted in gold and money was made out of tree before they arrive in the 1920s. Much like the African Americans and Mexicans, the Filipinos took on jobs that the whites did not want to work. Some of the common jobs were agriculture, canning, domestic work, migrant work and farming. Not only was there inequality with the color of the Filipinos

The majority in the United States believes that if all illegal Mexican immigrants get deported, then the United States will gain prosperity. However, the U.S economy would be negatively affected by their migration. Many people across the country, are organizing to withstand the deportation of the illegal immigrants.I personally connect with this situation because several of my loved ones are involved. Some people claim that illegal Mexican immigrants are taking Americans' jobs away. In reality, these people are willing to do the jobs that the citizens do not want to do. Half of the population of employees working in orchards or packing sheds are Hispanics. In comparison to the agriculture hard labor duties, housekeeping departments consist of about fifty percent of Hispanics. If all illegal Hispanics get deported, then the agricultural industries and housekeeping departments would decrease in production and income. Also, the amount of tax money that is collected annually would decrease, also affecting the economy. Even though the majority of the Hispanics are undocumented, they still pay

The changing environment throughout time has caused many families to move out of their homelands. These families are either forced to make the decision to move out, or they move by their own desire. Migration and parenthood in a new country are significant transitions that pose stressful challenges for immigrant and refugee parents. Although living in Canada can be rewarding, however, there are challenges that immigrants and refugee face through trying to adapt to the culture of Canada. These challenges may include, battling cultural shock, Language Barriers, Misconceptions of Homeland and culture, employment, and depression.

Today, immigration is a heated topic and everyone views it in a different way. Immigration is the movement of people to a different country where they were not originally from. This should not be mixed up with emigration, which has a different meaning. While immigration is when someone joins a new group, emigration occurs when someone leaves that group. With that being said, there are many reasons why people immigrate to a different place. Some of these reasons may include better opportunities, to connect with families, or the freedom of religion. Whatever the reason is, immigration is an important reason and it affects everyone involved. Between 1950 and 2010, 92 million people moved from their original country to someplace else. They came

I believe immigration has fostered social change in many different ways, most notably, in the U.S. Education System. Educating immigrant children has always been a challenging task for U.S. schools, because immigrant students bring with them different life experiences, beliefs, cultural communication patterns, languages, and educational traditions. Their addition to U.S. schools is and of itself, a social change.

Therefore, most of the literature I found is either on American youth or British youth. The article written by Sunaina Maira “Cultural Citizenship” & “Transnational Citizenship has inspired my study on Muslim youth living in Toronto. Maira (2009) looks at stories of Sara, Amin and other South Asian immigrant youth of their everyday experiences of inclusion, exclusion and engagement in the public sphere including schools and work (p.80). Maira’s research includes both theory and data analysis with narratives of youth she interviewed. Maira shows a clear image of Muslim youth and how their experiences impact their sense of citizenship. In other words, Maira (2009) looks at South Asian Muslim immigrants in the US and the ways in which they understand

In light of the current situation having to do with the degradation of immigrants, legal or not in this country, I have chosen an unwritten text that is close to my heart, the Mexican and American flags combined to create a new one. It takes pieces of the Mexican flag like the eagle emblem and pieces of the American flag like the stars and stripes to create a new vision of solidarity. I have seen this symbol more often in the last year due to the current administration’s policies and the many ways it seeks to change the status of the immigrant population. This representation of unity was created for those who feel a strong tie to both America and Mexico, for those who are proud to be a part of both countries and who believe that the two nations

The protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms is a moral stance shared by a significant part of our global society. In the European culture and thought, human rights have a long tradition: the notion of inalienable rights was conceived by the European enlightenment, shaped by the French revolution and first officially adopted by the Universal Declaration of Human rights by the United Nations in Paris, 1948. Since its foundation, human rights have always been a core principle of the European Union, expressed by documents such as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (2000). The Treaty of Lisbon in 2009 has guaranteed the enforcement of the Charter of Fundamental Rights including six major categories: the right to

Refugee issue is a global issue mainly due to wars, conflicts or environmental, political, religious and racial reasons (Gibney & Gil, 2010). In recent years, the turmoil triggered by the "Arab Spring" in many countries in West Asia and North Africa causing numerous refugees, so it has once again attracted the attention of people（Grossman, 2017）. People forced to relocate their homes and even renounce their nationality by war or natural disasters are defined as refugee（UNHCR，2017）.The influx of refugees brings cheap labor forces reducing the cost of productions ,and causes the promotion of economic development. In addition, the increasing population leads to an increase in demand which can increase the income of the host countries and the state tax. It can be argued that refugees are unable to benefit the host nations because refugees increase unemployment rate and occupy resources in education. Although it may be true that there are some negative effects caused by refugees, refugees can benefit the host nation in terms of economy and social advancement.
