The Negative Connotation Of Migration From A Biblical Perspective

The author wants to show reader how immigration affects things like the community, family, and economy. In this instance, it affects the church community. The officers didn’t care where they were. They arrested and beat the migrants inside. This is an example of the struggle to stay optimistic.

strongly presents the case that although there are no direct teachings on immigration in the New Testament, Christians can learn how to treat immigrants. Jesus’s attitudes and actions help to show Christians how to treat outsiders, like immigrants. Just as Jesus transcended cultural differences and accepted Samaritans, Christians should accept immigrants. Today it is clear that Christians should embrace the ideals of the New Testament, rather than Romans 13, because it allows them to follow biblical teachings. Therefore, I believe it is important for Christians to help immigrants by embracing the New Testament ideals seen through Jesus’s own actions and

Without The Great Migration, or the migration of African Americans from 1915 to 1970 from the south to the north, the north would have suffered economically (Wilkerson 8). Specifically, without the Great Migration, the north would have faced extensive job shortages, that would have eventually led to economic turmoil. One cause of The Great Migration was the need for southern African Americans to take industrial jobs in the north. Furthermore, during times of war, many men were removed from the workforce, meaning that the north needed additional workers to fill the now vacated spots. (The Great) The north needed the southern African Americans in order to fill these slots, and without them, the north’s economy would have suffered

The Great Migration brought about a massive redistribution of the African American population throughout the United States. It transformed black ways of life, art, and institutions, as well as the demographics and cultures of many American cities.

Thomas Jefferson believed that expanding westward was the key to a healthy nation. Forty percent of the population lived in trans -Appalachian west. Most people had left their homes from the East for a economic opportunity.

Anyways, during the war I saw the increase of many African-Americans moving to north. It was due to the plethora of jobs opening in the north. They called this move “The Great Migration.” After the war about twenty-five percent of African-Americans from the South moved to the North. I also noticed that more women were employed during and after the war. Many American women made a huge impact during the war. That was when finally, Americans believed that a woman around the country were fit to work. During the war I saw many of teachers and classmates leaving school. Some of my teachers left to go overseas to fight in the war. So, some of the schools were shut down due to lack of funding and teachers. Not only some of the teachers gone, but some of my classmates. There were forced to not attend school because they're needed there to support their family. Some left to watch their siblings, cook, and work on their family farms. Unfortunately, I was one of the thousands of students who had to leave school just to support my family.

As African Americans transitioned from slavery, there were practices put in place to help with this transition. Colleges were created specifically for African Americans. The 1960’s was a trying time for the nation as civil rights laws were implemented to protect the rights of African Americans. Even though progress was made, African American males still faced challenges. The scope of this capstone is the matriculation of African American males.

Daniel Rodriguez a professor of religion and Hispanic studies expressed his thoughts from a Christian perspective about Immigration and Undocumented Immigrants living in the United States of America. I found it very important to attend this summit session because I’m an exchange student from Trinidad and Tobago and always heard so much negative stories about how Americans see people from other countries.

This author in this article opposes comprehensive immigration reform. The author uses the bible to argue in favor of strict enforcement mechanisms. The article quotes the passage of scripture where it asks people to treat the “stranger” with hospitality. The author defines the term “stranger” to mean foreigners must respect the laws and cultures of any country. For that reasons “illegals,” as referred to by the author, broke the law, and are not considered “strangers.” The author gives possible solutions to the problem: strict border enforcement, implementation of current immigration enforcement mechanisms (i.e. E-verify), making unauthorized entry a criminal offense and financial assistance to unauthorized immigrants who want to go back to

Everything said in this video has a direct effect on the people in the United States 101%, what does article talked about was help crime rate has gone down along with violent crimes has gone down all while immigration numbers have inclined. quite frankly all these topics coming together should affect every person in the United States some way and somehow. with crime rate dropping it's offering a safer environment for people to commute and to socialize in their communities. it's also nice to know that violent crimes were down 50% in the last 20 years which is showing signs of improvement and maybe one day we could get that number so low that you rarely hear about them. we have the United States are a Melting Pot which is a hundred percent certain but we do have our problems and to know that our crime is being fixed and illegal immigration isn't affecting that is an amazing sign. me personally as an individual it also impacted. I found it interesting to know that many undocumented immigrants are uneducated past high school and 49% do not own their high school diploma.The video then went on to explain how undocumented immigrants are taking up jobs that do not require a high school diploma say construction or farming. now if I owned a business I would probably hire undocumented immigrants 2. Well, I know that is illegal but it seems to be the more economic move and more cost efficient route at the same time. Immigrants come in this country and they accept lower wages and accept more drooling work while people there from this country tend to not like that work because they feel they are above it. so anyway illegal immigrants serve a vital role in our economy. but I cannot just say this for the 21st century, this is been happening way back into the late eighteen hundreds with the Irish and Italians doing the exact

In the south many factors influencing lead around 6 million people to migrate out of southern states in search for industrialized work in northern and western states of the United States. After emancipation, most blacks had been forced to become sharecroppers and tenant farmers, dependent on white land lords and enslaved by debts they complained (Ron Takaki Chapter 13). Although African Americans had their freedom the oppression, discrimination, and racism never ended within the south.

The blessings listed in The Beatitudes exemplify the importance and the moral obligation Americans have towards immigrants fleeing injustice. For example, Jesus proclaims, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy” (Mathew 5:7). The countless individuals who are “fleeing arms traffickers,” “gang violence and poverty,” most of which are women and children, must be met with mercy (Yee, Davis, & Patel 2017). For many migrants, the United States is the deciding factor in their chance at receiving mercy. The United States must approach immigration with mercy, compassion, and empathy, not with antagonism and hostility. The authors of the article give a merciful description of immigrants as, “families and workers, taking the jobs nobody else wants, staying out of trouble, here only to earn their way to better, safer lives for themselves and their children” (Yee, Davis, & Patel 2017). This visualization of immigration is the more humane approach the United States government must take. On the contrary, the current White House administration perceives undocumented immigrants as “pariahs, criminals who menace American neighborhoods, take American jobs, sap American resources and exploit American generosity” (Yee, Davis, & Patel

Illegal immigration has become an explosive issue in the U.S. Many people have debated fervently in their disapproval of illegal immigration, whereas others defend it just as ardently. The church and Christian religion/theology has been drawn into the fray over illegal aliens as well, with Christians on both sides seeking to validate their positions based on their own individual beliefs. I interviewed many different people with equally varying opinions on the matter. Over the past few months, many people, old and young, have been educated on the ethical dilemma that immigration has caused; especially due to the Syrian refugee crisis. Every person I interviewed had valid statements about the issue that is affecting the United States and the World.

Matthew Soerens as a young child did not realize how important the immigrants were around him and how they were significant for his career now. He never realized the impact they had on society and the amount of Christian faith they bring into a community, and then I realized I also did not know the significance they had for our community and faith.
