Migration And Refugee Policy

When immigration policy is discussed, typically, it is discussed within the confines of egalitarian notions and sentiments, and inside the boundaries and parameters set by generally Marxist-influenced social democracy. Characteristically, it is not discussed pertaining to the concept of a social order built on the rights of property owners, sharers, and contributors to and of the common stock- which at their discretion- may exclude bad apples, lazy contributors, rotten characters, trespassers, and terrorists. Once egalitarian sentiments and notions are rejected full-scale- (only giving credence to those that have empirical weight or logical consistency) more proper, more substantive interdisciplinary analyses may reveal that the current investigative techniques employed by current mainstream political theorists are- in the context of reality, incorrect, superficial and quite shallow.

But one prevalent issue that has continued to be the source of much controversy is immigration. Founded on immigration this issue is not new to this country. Although it’s an issue that has been around for many years the mixed sentiments directed at it have only continued to become more prevalent. This may be due to the various perspectives from which it is viewed. The way in which an issue is looked at is influenced by various factors which become evident when the issue of immigration is discussed.

Refugees are people who crossed borders, fleeing due to problems related to race religion and nationality. While fleeing, refugees unknowingly carry many diseases due to lack of mental help and attention. When coming to a new country, refugees have no self-esteem to get jobs due to the language barrier. Refugees who flee their country and sacrifice everything are confident and strong willed with all the obstacles that come through their journey to start a new life. The long-term effects that a refugee experiences due to forced migration is Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Forced migration has a negative mental and physical affect on refugees.

Throughout the article, “The Framing of Immigration,” George Lakoff and Sam Ferguson hold an affirmative tone encouraging the public to view immigration not only politically, but also emotionally. The authors’ claim that today’s current debate on immigration is not fully grasping all the aspects, such as an analyzing immigrant's reasons for fleeing and how they live in America, later affecting it -- these reason must be taken into account to find an efficient solution where all countries must help to end this conflict. To emphasis their main claim they break down immigration, analyzing how they are referred to in a degrading manner, are being treated unfairly by the government in America, and encouraging readers to understand their perspective.

The death penalty is a controversial issue because it involves a dispute between sides which hold opposing views. Those who support the death penalty believe that it deters criminals and makes them think twice. Some supporters claim that it is morally right and gives victims justice. Furthermore, supporters of the death penalty think that it is the only way to fully protect society.According to “Solid Majority Continue to Support Death Penalty” ”About six in ten americans favor the use of death penalty for a person convicted of murder”(Solid 2016). On the other hand those who oppose death penalty think that the cost outweighs the benefits. They also argue that the death penalty can be faulty at times. Opponents argue that the death penalty

Asylum Seeker policy has become key political battleground in recent times. This stems from the end of Australia’s ‘White Australia’ policy in the 1970s; a policy which saw restrictions placed on non-European migration for over 70 years (Crock & Berg, 2011). Following the conclusion of the Vietnam war, a myriad of boats arrived in Australia, carrying asylum seekers from south east Asia. This lead to a stark increase in public concern over the arrivals and consequently, the term ‘boat people’ was born and spread through the media and public/political discourses alike (Grewcock, 2009).

Immigration issues have become a widely talked issue among people, since Paris was attacked in November 2015 by terrorists who migrated to France from Syria as refugees (Gallagher, 2015). In America where the Presidential Election is going to be held, people eagerly care about how the presidential candidates stand for immigration issue, because immigrants can seriously affect people’s daily lives: immigrants bring America lots of advantages both economically and culturally; however, immigrants do have drawbacks: illegal immigrants shared most of the welfare from programs provided by government, like “food stamps and Medicaid” (Meyer, 2015). All the presidential candidates have clear positions for immigration issue, and Donald Trump – the most popular and eye-catching candidate – is not an exception. As a conservative right-wing Republican, Donald Trump wishes to reduce, or even stop people migrating to America.

Immigrants who have illegally come to the U.S.., and have criminal convictions are being released from detention by the U.S. because their native country refuses to allow them to come back. After prison, Immigrants with criminal convictions are sent to a detention, in which they have to spend six months if deportation is not available. Due to this situation, many people; advocates and lawmakers in particular are enraged. Advocates and lawmakers believe that the U.S. could do much more to pressure uncooperative countries that refuse to take back their citizens. However, there are several difficulties that prevent the U.S. from taking action. It is forbidden to keep immigrants in custody when they can’t be returned to their homeland, therefore

It Is Vital that we realize that human movements are an act of development. To emigrate from one place to another it is our nature to wander, to move and walk across wide lands and limitless borders. Being an immigrant shouldn’t interfere with our daily life. We should create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. If we keep this in mind we are helping American refugee crisis , compassion and as it states in yet the underlying assumption that greater knowledge of migration. Our presidency has changed the campaign’s, compromising others for a political party. Injustice all around driven only by disparagement.

Immigration policies need to be reformed to promote family unity since policies in place today make the separation of family members inevitable. The right to family is a fundamental human right stated in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and should be protected considering that the family is an integral part of society and is “necessary by nature for the development of the person.” (“The Family and Human Rights”). However, current immigration policies, do the opposite and have resulted in the separation of more than one million family members, whether it be deportees who are forced to leave loved ones behind or separation during apprehension and holding due to laws that require family members to be separated on account of age and gender if family relations are not known (Nunez 2017)(Women’s Refugee Commission). Being that several studies have also found that separation from family has negative implications on a child’s health and wellbeing, such as attachment issues, depression, and improper development, policies and procedures should allow for undocumented families

In this paper, the authors examine how the death penalty argument has changed in the last 25 years in the United States. They examine six specific issues: deterrence, incapacitation, caprice and bias, cost innocence and retribution; and how public opinion has change regarding these issues. They argue that social science research is changing the way Americans view the death penalty and suggest that Americans are moving toward an eventual abolition of the death penalty.

Many immigrants come to the United States in search of the opportunity to have a better life. They have the willingness to work, seek out educational opportunities and to be productive members and contributors to society. Rarely do you find those instances where immigrants come here to take, destroy all that our nation has built and established. When you hear the current administration in the media use fear, as part of cultural destructiveness to destroy how our society view other cultures and diminish the worth of individuals within their own Netting, Kettner, McMurtry, Thomas, (pg. 64, 2012). By doing that the narrative around immigrants’ changes, people start to believe that immigrants are here committing crimes and a higher rate in comparison to Americans that are born here; For instance, during one of Donald’s Trump 2016 campaign speeches he said “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re

As a human, I must see others as fellow beings from my own race. We are similar in more ways than we are not. The golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," cannot be ignored simply because our language differs. This is a barrier to be crossed, not to fear. If I am to be a human being with dignity and compassion, I must accept the fatherless, the motherless, the broken, and the poor. Because I would want them to accept me in turn. By not accepting them, I am jeopardizing my own race.

The European refugee crisis began in 2015, when a rising number of refugees and migrants made the journey to the European Union (EU) to seek asylum. Refugees are people who have been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. According to the data that was shown in Business Standard and also confirmed by BBC News, the top ten nations which account for 90% of the sea arrivals in 2015 were: Syria (49%), Afghanistan (21%), Iraq (8%), Eritrea (4%), Pakistan, Nigeria and Somalia (2 %), Sudan, Gambia and Mali (1%). Also the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees confirms that the top three nationalities of refugees are Syrian, Afghan and Iraqi. Of the refugees and migrants arriving in Europe by sea in 2015, 58% were men, 17% women and 25% children. (Wright, 2015). According to Eurostat, EU member states received over 1.2 million first time asylum applications in 2015, 4 countries (Germany, Hungary, Sweden, and Austria) received around two-thirds, while Latvia received a very small part of them.
