The Pros And Cons Of Asylum Migration

Throughout the world, there is an estimate of about 65.3 million refugees that have either been forced out of their homes or chose to willingly escape the violence or corruption they faced in their homeland. Of those millions of people, only a small percentage are given the status of refugee as many nations have strict requirements and only allow a specific amount each year. This leads to an increase in the amount of illegal immigration as many are desperate to risk their lives to for a better one then they had back home. Even as refugees are given asylum, many often face difficulties such as discrimination due to the racial stereotypes that exist as a result of negative depictions in the news and media. Although nations have generally become more open to receiving and providing aid for a significant amount of refugees seeking asylum, people’s ideology of race and the misrepresentation of the media towards immigrants prevent an even larger amount of refugees from being accepted into society.

In 2010, when Ahmad wrote his article, immigration was on the rise in the UK. Many immigrants were being accepted into the country which created a record high. Although this situation may seem to be a good thing, it can be deceiving. Due to the increase in immigration, the government had pledged to cut migration by an exponential amount. “The British, who ruled my country for decades and taught me the English that I speak, have always had the power to keep me out of their country” (Ahmad 38). At this

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

Another important stakeholder in this issue is the children themselves. Almost all of the children present in detention centres are asylum seekers whom arrived in Australia by boat, and are classified as ‘unauthorised maritime arrivals’ (Humanrights.gov.au, 2015). These asylum seeker children all held the same responses to some degree. Their responses were all surrounded by the main aspect of ‘Wanting to be free and safe’.

Innes (2010) argues that the negative discourse of asylum seekers as a threat to British society is portrayed in government literature

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.

The media coverage in the United Kingdom especially in the present climate can be described as anti migrant and asylum seekers. There is a suggested sense of being under siege with threats of invasion of being overwhelmed via Calais. With Headlines such as ` Migrants 'threaten EU standards' ` (BBC News, 2015), and reports from the government does little to show a different image as the recent comment from `British Prime Minister David Cameron has defended his policy of restricting immigration, arguing that illegal migrants are trying to "break into" the country`. Regardless of the fact that there are little other means in which they can gain asylum but to enter illegally. In considering this I am not suggesting that one should have no systems in place to control and monitor immigration but feel that this negativity does not address that people have the right to claim asylum nor does it show positive images or outcomes of those that have made lives

In contemporary society, the technological advances and the presence of the mass media have significantly contributed to the prevalence of bias, prejudice and stereotypes that surrounds migrant families in Australia. The accrual of such factors in combination with the social challenges, often, experienced by migrant families give rise to biased perspectives, in regards to migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. Moreover, such stereotypes include phrases like “boat people”, “queue jumpers” and “criminals”, even escalating to “terrorists”. Whether or not such stereotypes are the direct result of the ambivalence surrounding the recent series of international terrorist attacks, one cannot be certain, but this factor has undoubtedly contributed to Australia’s perspectives, attitudes and values, regarding migrants in

“I believe that the great majority of people coming here illegally have no other option. They want to provide for their families.” Illegal immigrants come to the United States every day wanting to escape poverty, cartel violence, and government corruption in order to provide for their families (Planas, 2015). Governor Bush wants to create pathways to citizenship for illegal immigrants and inflict on those who have a legal visa who prolong their stay. His immigration plan has six proposals to enhance border security and enforces immigration law. Immigration in the United States is a strong issue, especially when it gets brought up to potential presidency candidates. In regards to Republican voters this is a touchy subject and with Americans

The newspaper article from The Daily Telegraph has used emphasis on “Migrants” as their headline title. The purpose of this news article, initiated by Laura Hughes, the author, is to show her views about the Migrants’ unnecessary and unacceptable behaviours affect Britain’s communities and values. Another purpose of the newspaper article is to inform readers about the circumstances in Britain. There are some affordances in a newspaper article such as the credibility of the writing itself, and writers can deliver their opinions validly. Also allows a strong sense of the transaction between writer and reader. However, there are some limitations of a newspaper article such as; the use of one narrative voice can be misconstrued due to the absence

A rational view outside the norm, realizing minorities, for example, woman suffrage, slavery, etc., all have gone through what immigration is going through today. My thoughts on, immigration becoming legal whether an individual crossed with or without permission, the United States government could focus on real criminals. Often Illegals considered criminals due to crossing the border without permission yet not all the people crossing are trying to destroy the United States or create complications. Because people move countries with the push and pull factors, leave their country for reasons such as poverty, and pulled in by job opportunities. If immigration were to become legal looking back on the treatment of some immigrants seems unmoral

Immigration is extremely controversial. For some like businesses, the people that are coming from Mexico are looking for a job, and they do not care how much they get paid they want a job because they are trying to pursue a higher standard of living that they do not have in their native country. Because of this fact, most businesses will lower the pay wage for these people because they won't complain like most American that are born here. Another advantage of hiring these kind of people is that they could be translators for business and they could have extensive knowledge of that certain culture in which you or your current employees do not.

To what extent does Powell’s speech reflect British social attitudes towards immigration during the 1960’s? Enoch Powell stated “... They found themselves in their own country and the neighborhood changed beyond recognition…”. He encouraged fear by suggesting that commonwealth immigrants will increase to three and half millions in 15-20 years. He estimated that by the year 2000, up to 7 million would be of immigrant descent.

Migration is the process of moving from one place to another, permanently or temporarily. Migration occurs everywhere whether people want to live a better life, live with their family or any other reason. As stated by the book roughly 1.1 million people enter the US annually legally or illegally. So we can see that migration has a huge role on the US economy.

I think that the most important policy to enable is housing for the refugees. They are coming form horrible places. Sleeping on the ground, no electricity, no running water, no place to be safe. Shouldn’t the first thing we give them be a safe-haven? They came from nothing, with nothing to call their own, probably with the fear of being killed every night. To counteract this fear and to give them an asylum. When we adopt dogs from the shelter, or buy them, the first thing we do is buy them a bed. Something that is theirs. Constant. Safe. Why should we not treat a refugee, a human being, with at least the same treatment we give animals? Why should we not give them their own bed? Or better yet, their own home? In this country, I see a repeating pattern of the better treatment of animals than of humans.
