In every presidential administration, immigration policies are significant area of debate. There are many policies that are proposed in Trump Administration due to differing opinion of the administration. Currently policies on immigration include on Deferred Action for Childhood (DACA) which is protecting more than 800,000 immigrants in the United States. Moreover it also includes policies on increasing wages for H1-B visas. (H1-B Visa). Additionally, the Raise Act, (Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act, it essentially sends 50000 visas to countries that send few immigrants over to the USA to promote diversity. Trump Administration has proposed to end diversity visas to protect its local citizens and employment. All these proposed changes have both positive and negative impact on GDP (Gross Domestic Product), employment/unemployment rates, government taxes.

Illegal immigration has become more of an important issue in the United States since Donald Trump’s campaign for president in 2016. Immigration can be known as the act of people crossing national borders to live permanently in other countries. It becomes illegal when they cross those borders without the legal right to be in those countries. The U.S. has been an immigrant country since the pilgrims in the 1600s and has ever since, been diverse. Most of the immigrants are Latinos that come from Central America, but they also come from all over the world. The current path to legal citizenship is flawed and needs to be reformed to allow rights to be upheld, equal and fair treatment of all applicants, and to facilitate the process altogether.

Immigration has been a major problem for countless years that seems to never seize. Illegal immigrants do not hold the rights that U.S. residents possess and manage to live a hard life because of the mere opportunities that come their way. U.S. residents are allowed to vacate and visit the places immigrants come from, yet they have to risk their lives in hopes of a better life. Where is the equality? The unfair treatment arises from them simply being illegal, however everyone deserves equality regardless of their background and origin. The deep stigma and outlook on immigrants in today’s society can be quite controversial. The government should indeed allow immigrants to find a place to call home without the use of strict immigration

Immigration can be seen as an important role to maintain diversity and a steady economy in many countries, including the United States. However, while people are trying to immigrate to locations where they would get better opportunities for themselves and their families, they are instead being greeted by death or closed doors, caused by awful conditions when trying to cross the border or the inability to gain access to a country with better opportunities. Immigrants are forced to cross illegally to improve their and their family’s lives due to the difficulty of attaining citizenship or visa; millions of families have been separated and they have to live not knowing what has happened to their loved ones. The trauma of an incident like this can impact someone’s life forever, and in order to ensure people’s safety and wellbeing, everyone should have a real chance to gain citizenship, disregarding their country of origin. The path to citizenship should be made easier and more inclusive so that people who are searching for opportunities are given the chance to improve their lives.

In the midst of dealing with numerous immigrants a lot of confusion and lack of understanding the whole situation is created. A lack of understanding leads to numerous questions being asked. Questions such as where do illegal immigrants come from? Why do illegals come to the United States? And how do illegal immigrants make it into the United States? Immigrants can come from all sorts of different continents and countries. However it 's most often that immigrants come from third world countries with struggling economies. Struggling countries like Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, along with many others. Reaching the United States is not easy, and illegals begin their journey with much risk. With the risk illegals face, good reasons are required to consider the journey. In the countries they are leaving, illegals face many dangers from drug cartels and massive corruption in both the local and federal governments. As much as many immigrants try to better their lives in their home countries, they often face massive struggles

The student organization, CHANGE, hosted a rally on Thursday to educate the public and support the undocumented community here at Central Connecticut State University and around the United States.

Former president Obama once said, “My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too” (“Barack Obama”). This idea of immigration has caused a lot of controversy in the past year. Since Donald Trump became president in 2016, he has begun talk of phasing out DACA- a program which currently allows over 790,000 undocumented immigrants to live safely in America. The removal of DACA is immoral and should not be allowed because it is legally unnecessary, is going to wreak havoc on the lives of those protected by the program, and will cause a strain on the economic well-being of America.

Each year, U.S. Immigration Policy allows roughly 1 million individuals to immigrate legally into the United States. These immigrants all have one thing in common when coming to the United States. Most of the people that immigrate are young and are looking for better employment opportunities or reunite with family already in the U.S. Other people are highly skilled or are entrepreneurs and come to the U.S. looking to utilize their skills. Although they have the same goals they fall under two categories; those who are legally in the country, and those who enter the U.S. illegally. The bill I choose to discuss is known as the ``Immigration Compliance Enforcement Act’’ or (ICE). The bill prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from using

Immigration has problems socially with people still not accepting others of different races or other cultures entering their country. The problem I would like to identify with is the lack of documentation being processed to have immigrants come into the U.S. and become citizens here. “More than 10 million undocumented aliens currently reside in the U.S., and that population is growing by 700,000 per year.” (Kane & Johnson, 2006) People may claim that they want people to be documented citizens for proper job involvement. The larger issue is that there is a lack of security in the U.S. There are those who come into our country for opportunity, but anyone who is undocumented could also be

Did you know there are 8,194,000 children in the United States with at least one immigrant parent? 8,194,000 children whose families are being threatened by the Trump administration's recent changes in immigration policies. Immigration reform has been a topic of controversy for decades. Most Americans blame Mexican immigrants for the United States economic problems and many believe undocumented immigration causes high crime rates. However recent studies have disproved that undocumented immigrants are a threat to American citizens. When people think of immigrants they think of an outdated caricature that doesn't truly represent all of the 11 million undocumented immigrants.

America is considered to be the “land of opportunity,” yet ironically, its doors are closed to the vast majority of people seeking to become citizens and pursue this opportunity. Legal immigration to the United States is a complicated process that is generally limited to those that have been petitioned by family members or employers, or have fled their home country as refugees. Most unauthorized immigrants do not meet these requirements, and even those that do may have to wait years or even decades. This leaves many with the choice to either immigrate illegally, or not immigrate at all. Those who choose the former receive criticism from Americans that do not understand why they refuse to just “get in line” and become legitimate citizens, but this line already has 4 million people, and for many there is no line at all. The naturalization process is specifically designed to protect the national security of the country, but there are some immigrants that could potentially be hard-working, law-abiding citizens who are denied this opportunity due to the complexity of the process. It would be beneficial to make a simpler pathway to citizenship for these immigrants specifically, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants, strengthen the economy, and keep families together.

It was July 1, 2015 when Kate Steinle was shot. She was walking on a busy pier with her father when the shooting happened. The man accused of shooting her was a 45 year old man: Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez. He is an undocumented immigrant that had been deported 5 times already and had seven felony convictions. Kate Steinle died that day during surgery.

For many, the United States is more than nation of freedom. By September of 2016, 84,995 refugees had been admitted to country, the largest amount since 2002. All of which are fleeing persecution and harm from their country of origin. However, hundreds are denied entry to the U.S., not for suspicion of being a terrorist, or for criminal charges, but because a judge doesn’t deem a threat serious enough. Should the criteria for asylum be altered to allow immigrants who suffer from other forms of maltreatment to gain asylum?

Would there ever come a time where the thirteenth amendment would be repealed? Most people wouldn't even consider this possibility. To the majority, slavery was a cruel and inhumane part of our past and they would never support its return, however this could easily change. With the right conditions and mindset, those who oppose slavery could just as easily be made to believe slavery is just and moral.
