Imagine trying to escape something cruel and devastating, only to being rejected and not welcomed. This is how immigrants feel. A majority of immigrants are looking for a new start, and America could potentially be the answer for them. America should receive immigrants and not neglect them when they are in need. Also, immigrants need to be embraced with open arms and not looked as criminals.
The Civil War, in El Salvador, took place from 1980 until 1992. The government, guerilla groups, and parliamentary forces were all a part of this war. This war affected many citizens because their rights were disregarded, they were treated barbarically, and more than 75,000 Salvadorans were killed during this war (El Salvador). Families and individuals

The war was fought between the government and rebel groups that made up the more poor part of Guatemala. The civil war was the root cause of Guatemala’s violence today. One form of crime that Guatemala faces is drug trafficking. Guatemala connects the United States, South America, and Mexico together when it comes to drugs trafficking (Bunck). There are many drug trafficking routes that pass throughout Guatemala, so they can distribute it to larger organizations in Mexico and Colombia. In addition, drug related crimes goes hand and hand with gangs. Gangs in Guatemala are spreading rapidly, many people are born into gangs and cannot leave. This results in more crimes like murder, kidnapping, theft, and having illegal items. Guatemala also has a corrupt government. Many military officers are involved with illegal activities. In some cases, criminals can buy their way out of getting into trouble and even buy their support from police officers (Bunck). This goes to show that Guatemala has a weak government that can be easily …show more content…
One of Trump’s promises when he got elected was to build a wall along the southern border to prevent illegal immigrants to come into the United States. The reason Donald Trump wants to build a wall is to isolate and to “improve the safety in both of [the] countries”. Trump stated: “The unprecedented surge of illegal migrants from Central America is harming both Mexico and the United States” (News). Another statement that Trump made during his election was that Central Americans are taking jobs away from U.S citizens. In his rally in Phoenix Trump said about illegal immigrants that, “They’re taking our jobs. They’re taking our manufacturing jobs. They’re taking our money” (Politi). Trump has strong views on immigration and there are plenty of examples to back up on how he views
Trump wants to enforce our immigration laws-to build a wall and end sanctuaires cities, which he calls crap and says they need to be stopped. Stop and end all of it, if they want to come to the U.S, they need to come legally. Welcome those who embrace our way of life, but keep out immigrants and refugees who don’t through rigorous vetting. Trump thinks they are bringing drugs, crime, rapists and problems for us.
Donald Trump wants to take care of the immigrations. Donald trump wants to build a wall on the border between America and Mexico and make Mexico foot the bill because we are paying to take care of the illegal immigrants so they are going to pay for the wall. Donald is going to send back the illegals and make them come back legally. Donald says “ Illegal immigrants shouldn’t have access to government-subsidized healthcare.” He also says “That muslim terrorist should be banned from entering the country until the
The Guatemalan Revolution was on October 1944 and it forced the resignation of Jorge Ubico. He was the President of Guatemala in the previous thirteen years. Ubico's government was a fear period in the country and it was called the “peace on the cemeteries”
Donald Trump has voiced his strong opposition to Mexicans being in the United States; he even went as far as proposing the idea of building a wall separating Mexico from the US. According to Forbes’ article written by Dolia Estevez, “he wants to deport 11.3 million undocumented workers, 6 million of which are Mexicans, and strip babies born to undocumented immigrants of their birthright citizenship.”
Donald Trump’s signature topic during his presidential campaign has been illegal immigration. He has generated headlines and controversial remarks during his plans for change. In 2015, when he announced he was running for president, Donald Trump claimed Mexico was sending all their rapist and violent criminals into the U.S. (Gabbatt, 2015). He also called for the deportation of an estimated eleven million illegal immigrants.
In 1980 El Salvador’s civil war officially began. Thousands of people were kidnapped and killed. Church workers were abducted, raped and killed, yet again the peace talks did not begin until 1984 and the Peace Accords of El Salvador was not signed until 1992. Between those twelve years 75,000 people died as a result of the civil war and most of these people were completely innocent.
To get a proper understanding of El Salvador’s civil war we need to begin in the 1930s, the Salvadoran government was generating a lot of profit from goods being sold, unfortunately the wealth was only given to 2% of the population. Augustin Marti formed the socialist party that led peasants and indigenous against the government. When the government heard this they gave the approval for military death squads, which would kill anyone who looked
One of Donald Trump biggest suggestions that half of the united states does not agree with is his immigration laws. Trump plans on putting up borders around Mexico. Meaning he is using an
There has been many long term effects from the civil war in El Salvador. The war lasted about 12 years from 1980 to 1992, and El salvador is still dealing with old issues from that time. It was the darkest times in El Salvador’s history. The inequality of social classes, poverty,and military rule led Salvadorians to revolt against their own government.

Trump is one that is completely against illegal immigration. Trumps biggest oppositions against illegal immigrants, is that he is determined to send them back were they came from even if it means separating them from their families. The Republican nominee has called for a crackdown on illegal immigrants, saying they “compete directly against vulnerable American workers” (Trump). He promises to cut back legal immigration with new controls he says would “boost wages and ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.” Trumps actions seem to be more of class rather than what’s right for our country. In one of his statements he states that he will ensure jobs for Americans which goes against numerous researches done that those immigrants don’t affect our jobs, we would just rather not do the jobs immigrants have. Instead of attacking the immigrants with records and a threat to our country, Trump would rather take the easy way out and just deport them
Donald Trump said he was going to build a wall between the United States and Mexico when elected president. Not only was he going to build a wall but he was going to have Mexico pay for it ("COMPELLING MEXICO TO PAY FOR THE WALL," n.d.). He also promised to deport approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants and have any immigrants who decide to come to the United States to do so legally (LoBianco, 2015).
Immigration has been a big issue Donald Trump has taken on as president. Trump has taken action against illegal immigration since the start of his presidency through the use of executive orders. Another issue that was a big deal on Trump’s agenda was better vetting for refugees coming from several Muslim majority countries, he used executive orders to enact this vetting which were short lived as they were blocked by the ninth circuit court. People often call Trump anti-Muslim for enacting policies for extreme vetting even though the countries he chose were chosen by former president Barack Obama and approved by congress, these countries usually contain high concentrations of anti-American Jihadist. Some people say Trump is abusing his powers with his use of executive orders, which is a direct order from the president that almost immediately becomes law without congress’s approval. Another topic of debate of Trump’s campaign and now presidency is his plan to build a wall along the border of America and Mexico to slow the entry of illegal immigrants crossing the border. A large argument against the wall is the fact that some people want to let illegal immigrants in to give them a better life even though they aren’t citizens and don’t pay any taxes while receiving government support. The support of non-taxpaying immigrants is also a large cost to the United
Donald Trump is the new president of the USA. He feels it to be necessary to build a wall between America and Mexico. He feels that there are too many illegal immigrants moving from Mexico to America. Trump says this is because of the poor protection of the American borders.
Additionally, the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua is also a known transit point for illicit drug trafficking and illegal arms-for-drugs dealing.
