Moving Beyond Borders Research Paper

My story would have never begun if my parents had not made a huge decision in my life, almost 15 years ago. When they decided to move our family across the border, my future would be become unknown. The fate I had been destined to have was completely altered, now, I had the opportunity to change my life for the better, to strive for something bigger. My parents pushed me to be the best I could be, and to work as hard as possible to get what I wanted. As the daughter of two Mexican immigrants I grew up in a very cultural household, and being surrounded by Spanish at all times. The only negative being I had to learn English on my own, and which led to me having some difficulty when I first started school. Yet, growing up in a Spanish speaking

My move from South Korea to the United States was to this day the hardest, most stressful event of my whole entire life. At the age of six, I gave up the comfort of my friends, culture, and home to move to a country halfway across the world. Korea was everything I knew and loved. Having never set foot outside of the country, all my dreams and aspirations were set in Korea. Although I was a fickle child and my goals changed constantly, they all were intertwined with Korea. I was going to become a pianist in Korea and teach piano to students. Another time, I decided I was going to become a math teacher at the school I was attending. My view of the world was limited, but I was happy in my familiar, safe place. My move to America changed my whole perspective.

“Fourteen Mexicanos died in the biggest, single instance of “die off” in border history” (PPT, “PEOPLE”). During 2001, a group of illegal immigrants from Mexico attempted to cross the United States-Mexico border with insufficient provisions. People named them for the nearest border station-Wellton, the Wellton 26. Of those who attempted the trip, only 12 narrowly escaped with their lives. People named the fourteen people who died as the Yuma 14.

Before lands were set up into fixed colonies, people were free to roam and sail as they pleased. However, this is not to say that discrimination did not exist, and some were killed when they entered into foreign borders. The same holds true today in the United States of America, not necessarily due to discrimination but due to the immigration laws that were put into practice in 1790, beginning with the Naturalization Act. While it is safe precaution to make sure who enters the country and what their motives are, many are being denied the access to the American dream. It is because of this that the U.S. must take a step back and reevaluate their immigration policies.

The concept of securing the border limiting immigration is reliant on the fact that by having a “fence” it captures more illegal immigrants, rather than not having one at all. To better secure the border the fence is a first step. I think that there are better ways to secure the border such as employing more unemployed Americans to help patrol this barrier. I feel that in today’s society many Americans would rather see their tax dollars going to use. I would also suggest we pull more troops out of Iraq and encourage their use on our home soil.

In its most basic definition, the U.S.-Mexico Border is a 2000-mile line that divides the United States and Mexico. However, those who spend their lives experiencing the concept of “the border,” acknowledge that the U.S.-Mexico Border is more than just a line. It’s an epicenter of; historical, political, social, economic, and cultural affairs that influence people on both countries. In this essay, I will be discussing the endogeneity effect between the border and its people and how I influence this phenomenon.

The U.S. Borders are here to protect the U.S., but are they really? The borders prevent illegal immigrant coming to the U.S., buy yet they don’t seem to be doing their jobs. There is a border dividing Canada and Mexico.

There can be various polarizing opinions and views regarding the immigration situation in the United States. Arguments from both sides can vary greatly from each point of view. Although some people favor restricted immigration, open immigration is the best way for the United States and shares the values of the American people. Open immigration benefits the economy in various ways. It enables undocumented immigrants to come out from the shadows so they can legally and safely obtain jobs which will benefit the economy. Immigration would help people get jobs legally so they can earn more than if they were undocumented, meaning they would also spend more in the economy which would benefit their economies. Immigrants coming from different parts

On Tuesday we took a trip to the Chrysler Museum to view the "Branding the American West" exhibit. In this exhibit it had a wide selection of Art types which we had a guide take us around to view them. While I was there I was surprised to see a more variety of art than I thought I would see. I saw television art that was made by a Korean man, A glass hamburger with fries and a Pepsi; this one was the most interesting to me because I had never seen art like that in my life. Another cool thing is that most of the art here at the exhibit had descriptions by them to let you know what the art means and who the artist were. However, their is one piece of art that I liked the most and that one is the Pima Basket.

Do you know someone who is greedy? Who is willing to do what it takes to get what they want. Greed can ruin people’s lives as someone can be too greedy. There is more than just one type of greed you can be greedy for money, greedy for power, or greedy for fame. The Universal theme of greed is represented in different ways in the poems Beowulf as he would rather die to have fame then not have fame at all, The Pardoners Tale as the rioters fight over money, and Macbeth when his wife Lady Macbeth and Macbeth want to be known as higher power.

A boy from the war torn Juba, South Sudan, steps foot in, the United States on September 9, 2008. Knowing no english at all, he begins the journey of his new life. He is 8 years old and traveled with his mother, Monica; father, Run; older brother, Mayual; and sisters, Achol and Agar. We have just recently gotten an immigration scholarship that gave them the opportunity for a better life, in the United States.

The idea of Sanctuary City is pleasant however achieving the goal to become one is difficult to accomplish. Solidarity Among Borders proves to tackle the issues relating to the detainment and oppression of undocumented workers and refugees or those who don't have a full status (citizenship or permanent residence) from law enforcement. Ever since Montreal has declared themselves a sanctuary city, they have been following closely and have found that the declaration does not match up with the actions of the city and law enforcement. There is one particular response made by Solidarity Across Borders which explains what needs to be put in place for Montreal to better accommodate undocumented immigrants and refugees. They explain how the declaration implies that the city of Montreal needs to have non-cooperation with the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) in order to defend and protect those who are

The first immigration police I would like to address if the idea that “It's just as easy for immigrants to enter the contrary legal today as it was for my ancestors.” This quote is very powerful and expresses the idea that it is just easy to enter the contrary in morderen time as it was in the past, but I find this to be false for example “the skills need in America today are drastically different from the skill need the past.”(Stier, ken). For example in the pasted the united States need people to build and expanded to keep allowing the US to grow and develop. Nowadays the skills need have changed drastically, we are not looking for everyday joe to working fast food restaurants. The US is looking for doctors and engineers to start diagnosing

On an early dawn in April, my mother and father woke my siblings and I up and told us to shower and put the clothes she had laid out for us on. They told us to pick our favorite toy; I chose my Mulan doll. We hurried into a taxi with three large suitcases and no idea where we were heading with such secrecy. It turns out, that would be the last time I would see my country of Birth.

Easy to cross the border for the safe haven after the commission of the crimes including terrorist activities.
