Pros And Cons Of Minors Migration To The United States

In the United States, children are under the parents control until the age of 18. These children have to do everything the parents tells them to and do not get a choice in the matter. This is true for immigrant children. These immigrant children did not get to tell their parents if they wanted to go to the U.S. or not, and even if they did the parents have the control. The U.S. should not punish the immigrant child for coming into the country because it was not their choice, it is not right to send them to a country they do not know as home, and everyone deserves an opportunity to become a U.S. citizen. Any right minded person would know that society cannot punish children on the decisions of their parents. The police does not arrest the children of a shoplifter for breaking the law, nor does the police arrest the children of a murder for the murder. So why does our country want to deport the children whose parents broke the law coming into this country? Cory Gardner’s favorable opinion on the subject came from Opposing Viewpoints stating, “Their parents made a decision to enter this country illegally and our broken immigration system did not prevent it. It is not their fault, nor was it their decision not to follow the law.” Not only did Cory state that it is not the immigrant children’s fault, but he also brought up that it is the U.S’s fault for allowing the parents to come into the country illegally. How is it okay that the U.S. punishes the immigrant children for their

1 million immigrants move to America each year due to it being an exceptional nation. We are an exceptional nation because we have more rights than any other country, we are more equal than most, and we also have more of a choice in our government than the rest of the world. America is the one country everybody is fighting to get into due to its amount of freedom.

Honduras, a Central American country, has the highest murder rate in the world, due to gangs. Gang members attempt to get children to join their gang to sell drugs. If the child refuses, they have 2 options: join the rival gang for protection, or be killed. Due to this evidence, you can’t blame them for trying to escape this dangerous life. Many of these minors are unaccompanied, and could be killed on their journey. They are simply trying to make a better life, and our government should be aiding them, not sending them back. Our great country was founded by immigrants trying to make a better life, so we should be helping others trying to do the same thing. If a child is fleeing danger in his home country and knocks on our door pleading for refuge, it is clear that we should open that door and do everything in our power to help, instead of turning him away to fend for himself.

Immigration has played an important role throughout American history. What fundamentally sets America apart from other nations is the foundation that it was created by immigrants seeking a better life for themselves and their children (Camarota & Zeigler, 2016). During times of economic growth, laborers have been imported, and deported during recessions (Flores, 2016). An average of 1.1 million immigrants relocate to the United States annually (Storesletten, 2000). US Customs and Border Control officials, have witnessed a significant increase in the number of “unaccompanied alien minors” from Latin America, anticipating 75,000 minors (if not more) from 2016 to 2017 (Rush, 2016). The average age for “unaccompanied alien minors” is 11 years

Imagine that you are in an airport trying to flee your country because there is a war going on, all of a sudden you get stopped by a security officer saying that the country you are trying to go to does not allow refugees, What would you do? The debate about refugees has been around since World War Two when Hitler was trying to torture or kill all the jews and other people he did not like. Here in America we did not let refugees into the U.S. during the war and a bunch of them were killed, however some did survive. Some people think that we should let them into the United States of America well, others say they should not be allowed to enter the U.S. In the year of 2016 there was around thirty-eight thousand refugees that were allowed into the United States. There were a bunch of other refugees that applied to come to the united states but got denied, because the U.S. did not choose them or they did not pass the test to become a refugee. The idea that refugees should not be allowed into the united states because they could bring disease, they could be a criminal or a terrorist, and they use up our land and resources deserves some merit. However These arguments do not realise that if we bring them into the United States we could save their lives, or give them better living conditions. In this article I will argue that we should allow refugees into the United States, but only under certain circumstances. Those circumstances are they should be allowed into the united

Everybody knows that the United States is a nation of immigrants. Immigration to the United States first began when the first English settlers arrived at Jamestown,Virginia.

Have you ever imagined that you would be having the feeling that you should not be feeling all because of something that can easily be prevented, or a feeling where you need to prevent a problem well ever since 1948 we have been bringing in refugees because of their problems well because of it now american citizens including me may have the worry of not having the job you want or having to get even more vaccines or not even that getting a disease that you don’t even know of or even having your country under attack because of possible terrorist coming in the united states blending in with the refugees. That why I feel Refugees should not be allowed into the United States because of deadly diseases, possible terrorist, and they will take up housing and jobs for america.

There was a record number of unaccompanied child migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border the summer of 2014. These young people hoped to flee from violence, and poverty affecting their countries. This wave of migrants garnered a lot of attention due to the fact that in the first half of 2014, more than 57,000 children arrived in the U.S. This was more than twice the number of arrivals as the ones that made it to the U.S.-Mexico border in all of the fiscal year of 2013.

On 27 January President Donald Trump signed an executive order halting all refugee admissions and temporarily barring people from seven Muslim-majority countries. This action is called “Travel Ban.” What does it do? It brings in a suspension of the US Refugee Admissions Programme for 120 days. There is also an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees. And anyone arriving from seven Muslim-majority countries - Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, also faces a 90-day visa suspension. Some visa categories, such as diplomats and the UN, are not included in the suspension. The order also introduces a cap of 50,000 refugees to be accepted in 2017, against a limit of 110,000 set by former President Barack Obama Priority will be given to religious

These children/youths were brought by their parents illegally making many eligible for DACA which is linked to the high volume of DACA applications. Facts such as this proves the need for a policy like DACA. On the other hand, members of our society constantly ask “why should we care”. We should care because children should be given the opportunity to thrive and succeed regardless of their documentation status. Society should care because the prospects and potential for this group success is limited, but more importantly, the discrimination, isolation and fear that they go through should not be experienced by any child or adolescent in our

This act created because Immigration became a major problem in 2005 when the number of illegal immigrants coming into the U.S rose to 8 million. This was the highest population to immigrate to the U.S from 1995 to 2014. Among the 8 million majorities were minors who came to the U.S because of their parents, in result they could not be held accountable for crossing

The Los Angeles Times Editorial Board, “Young, Alone and in Court”, the Editorial Board addressed two main points, the primary reasons surrounding the rapid increase of underage immigrants crossing the border and the United States’ failure to effectively address the immigration issues

Unaccompanied children have recently become a concern in the United States. According to recent statistics the U.S Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) noted that a majority of these children being apprehended at the border are not from Mexico but from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. Honduras being noted as one of the poorest nations in Latin America was branded as the murder capital of the world with a reported 90 homicides per 100,000 people. Most of the illegal children that come from Mexico are deported. What many people don’t understand is that not all these children are at the age of ten or younger. Actually many of these children are teenagers that are affiliated with violent gangs.

Do you think kids should be aloud in the United States?,Yes. Kids are coming into the U.S. for a couple reasons, to seek safety or shelter because of the wars. This is why we should help these immigrant children.

Picture a scenario where crowds of people surround you. You don’t know who they are. Hundreds of people of all cultures, ethnicities, and genders pass by you. To you, they might seem like regular people trying to get from Point A to B. Therefore, you would not assume that they play a significant role in society. However, what if one person that passed by you today was an undocumented citizen in the United States? How would you be able to tell the difference? Everyone currently living in the Northern Hemisphere is an immigrant or a descendant of one. Far too often illegal immigration is generalized as a negative act in the world today. Despite that illegal immigration is less rationalized through the positive
