Somali Culture: Summary

In the case of Patel v. Quality Inn South, it was first proclaimed by a district court that undocumented aliens were not protected under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (“PATEL v. QUALITY, ” n.d.). The Eleventh Circuit Court contacted the U.S. Department of Labor in order to determine whether or not undocumented aliens could protest and file for violations under the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The U.S. Department of Labor responded and took “the position that undocumented aliens were covered by the provisions of the FLSA and thus were entitled to its protections” (“PATEL v. QUALITY,” n.d.). The Circuit Court then reversed the decision of the district court and held that

One of President Trump’s main points of this decision was that immigrants living in the United

On Saturday, January 28th, Donald Trump enacted an immigrant ban on the countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Trump believed that the Muslims in those states were terrorists and could possibly hurt the United States. When this ban came into effect, immigrants were stranded at airports and people, nation-wide, were livid and confused as to why the ban was enacted. Immigrants were frightened for their lives and wanted to go back to their home in America, but they were considered dangerous. After the ban, the United States chose sides on whether or not to support or despise the act. In, "Ask a Chicagoan, Mr. President, about 'dangerous' immigrants", the Chicago Sun-Times Editorial Board successfully persuades the Chicagoland

Somalia is a country located in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by Ethiopia to the west, Djibouti to the northwest, Kenya to the southwest, the Gulf of Aden to the north, and the Indian Ocean to the east. With the longest coastline on the continent, its terrain consists mainly of plateaus, plains, and highlands. It is made up of the former British Protectorate of Somaliland and Italy’s former Trust Territory of Somalia. Somalia’s modern history began in the late 1800’s, when European powers began to trade and settle in the Somalia area. These events and the events that occurred during the 20th century helped shape the modern Somalia government and culture today.

should ban immigrants moving into the country because they put the country at risk with the involvements of terrorists and Isis attack. Based on CNN news article called “Donald Trump: Ban all Muslim travel to U.S.” it stated ““Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," campaign press release said.” The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump used his campaign to favor the ban of immigrants coming into the United States. Trump’s statement appeals to the American people and with the media manipulated it becomes challenging to determine whether or not his statements cause chaos. Many people think that it is dangerous to have immigrants in the country because they believed immigrants used religious as a way to attack

The treatment of illegal immigrants in the workplace is both a legal issue and a serious moral concern. Understanding that there are approximately 8 million unauthorized individuals contributing to the US workforce there is an ethical obligation to protect their personal rights and establish companies’ duties and responsibilities to these workers. Undocumented workers can be found in all industries, however they tend to be overrepresented in the fields of construction and farming; providing basic employee rights to these individuals is a minimal requirement (). Additionally, immigrant employees are susceptible to increasingly abusive workplace environments. Often lacking an understanding of their rights and protections provided under U.S. laws, immigrants face language barriers, feelings of isolation, and their race and gender brand them as easy targets for abuse. Predominately immigrant employees find themselves working in low-wage positions and industries including: agriculture, manufacturing, restaurant and hotel services, child care, and other retail outlets. Despite federal laws and regulations outlawing harassment and discrimination, illegal immigrants are often subjected to physical and verbal abuse in the workplace and employers take advantage of workers with little fear of repercussion. In instances where illegal immigrants have attempted to affirm their rights, employers have asserted that violations or claims filed are invalid and therefore not eligible for legal remedy based on the employee’s immigration status. Efforts crafted by these organizations have discouraged undocumented workers from exercising their rights to insist on a workplace free of harassment and exploitation, often fearing deportation or separation from their families with little hopes of legally prevailing.

The U.S. is a nation built on the foundational principle of relatively-open immigration. The immigrants come from all over the world and contribute positively to the American economy as well as enriching America culture. The United States of America experienced the largest waves of immigration during the 19th century. Many immigrants came to this country seeking religious freedom and/or looking for economic opportunities. Immigration has always been controversial in the United States and, for this reason, played an important role in many governmental policies. Nevertheless, there has been confusion about President Trump’s Executive Orders relating to immigration.

Somalia is a country situated in the ÒhornÓ of East Africa. It is bordered by the Gulf of Aden in the north, the Indian Ocean on the east and southeast, Kenya in the southwest, Ethiopia in the west, and Djibouti in the northwest.

As a Somali-American, I feel that something as simple as making a presence could make an impact on diversity within the community. My family and I have contributed to diversity by being part of a Somali community that is continuously growing throughout the state of Minnesota. We are a family of Muslims go to a local mosque in our town of Woodbury. A new one is being built in the future, hopefully attracting more Muslims into our community. Also, as a high school junior, I volunteered to help lead a courage retreat at a local middle school. I felt that the retreat was a huge benefit for middle school students attending; many of them needed to step out of their comfort zones and

In order for countries and states to run efficiently and effectively, they need a system to make sure that chaos is not created. Some countries and states use a political system called "democracy" in order to run things smoothly. What is a democracy? Karl and Schmitter (1991, 76) say that "Modern political democracy is a system of governance in which rulers are held accountable for their actions in the public realm by citizens, acting indirectly through the competition and cooperation of their elected representatives". Basically to be considered democratic, citizens of the country vote and elect an official who represents his/hers people's expectation and needs publically (Schmitter and Karl 1991). They compete with other officials for positions

President Donald Trump’s current immigration ban and coming legal actions to be taken on immigration began on January 27th, 2017, when he implemented a ban on aliens from the countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, to help secure the people’s lives and help prevent any possible terrorist threats or attacks to the nation. It bans all refugees for 120 days and bans all Syrian refugees indefinitely. The false accusation that many people believe is that this is banning all people from entering the United States. It still allows green card holders, special immigrants that work for the military, and dual nationals and diplomats to travel back and forth between the restricted countries. Many American’s don’t see that providing

Expecting excellence in all aspects of a person’s life goes against the purpose of mission accomplishment as well as failing to embrace the critical thinking trait of open-mindedness.

President Trump believes that “Anyone who is in The United States illegally is subject to deportation.” (Trump, Donald) Many immigrants have used the southern boarder of The United States in order to enter America for their ‘American Dream’. The truth to this is that a great amount of the Mexican, Hispanic, and Latino immigrants coming to America is due to the better system The United States has overall. Like everyone they themselves want to better themselves, even while working on a field picking fruit, and vegetables. President Trump also made remarks on the type of people Mexico brings to The United States.

Amid this civil war, countless Somalis were internally displaced and put out of work, while numerous others fled in search of food
