The Pros And Cons Of Immigration Reform

whole issue. As for the bill introduced by Representative José E. Serrano we are all still looking and listening as “The bill has gone nowhere,” Danticat wrote “while more and more American-citizen children continue to either lose their parents or their country. How will these children view the laws of the land, when they grow up and understand the situation behind their pain and suffering? Some of them will turn out fine, but what about the ones who fall through the cracks and are mistreated and abused? Will they undrrstand or will thery find someone to blame for their

No one wants to leave their country, but war, famine, and employment can cause people to migrate to find a peaceful place to stay. More than a million undocumented immigrants migrate to America every year searching for jobs and safe places for their families to stay, Because of this, every undocumented immigrant in America should be granted citizenship. The U.S government should allow the immigrants who are here illegally to become U.S citizens. Many of the undocumented immigrants do their best to assimilate, pay their taxes, and contribute to American traditions and culture. Their contributions to our country have done so much for the people, we should be honored to have them.

comprehensive immigration reform could bring to this country, to the native- born and immigrants workers as well. Also, he makes emphasis in how the number of undocumented immigrants has increased since 1990’s; therefore, the economy of United States has dramatically increased.

For years immigration has been the hot topic and the one topic that cannot be draw down to a conclusion. The United States government thinks that by deporting immigrants all problems will be solved. In Reality nothing can be resolved by deporting, instead is creating even more issues to the country. What needs to be realize is that deportation is just separating families, children are left without a parents or without any of their parents. Children from immigrants are sent to foster care and that is nothing that child that has parents has to go through, just for the simple reason of having undocumented parents. It is estimated that eleven million immigrants have children who are U.S. citizens, this children’s have lived their entire lives in the U.S., have attended public schools, have advanced to college and some even have jobs that support the U.S. economy (Ceceña). Some may think “well why they don’t just go with their parents?” That may sounds like a good idea, but why not think about the challenges and situations that this children will have to go through after creating a lifestyle in the U.S. Now it

children of undocumented residents are concerned, and the massive cost that the state would incur to care for these children that are taken away from their parents. The massive decrease of income per household, and the losses of

Immigration and naturalization seem to be a relentless ever present concern of the American government. The immigration of different European, Jewish, Asian, and Hispanic groups during different eras of American history have continuously raised interest in how the government should balance America’s reputation for being a welcoming place where anyone can succeed, without sacrificing the economy. One group which was especially targeted and discriminated against by the legal system throughout American history was Asian immigrants. This is evident in naturalization laws, and the results of Supreme Court cases petitioned by predominantly Chinese as well as other Asian groups such as Japanese and Hindus.

With the greatly disproportionate number of unauthorized Latino immigrants (Appendix 1, Table 2), research shows that many Americans perceived Latinos as “Illegals” and “Criminals” (Perez 2010, Masouka, Junn p.167). This concept of Latinos affects the way the unauthorized immigrant population is treated, not only in the community, but in Congress as well. The portrayal of unauthorized immigrants as criminals allows politicians to prey on the fears of many honest and hardworking Americans.

They could do the right thing now by passing a bill called the Bridge Act. It stands for Bar Removal of Individuals who Dream and Grow our Economy. Its chief sponsors are Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat, and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican. It would extend protections to the dreamers now eligible for DACA through 2020, once again buying time to negotiate a comprehensive immigration reform

As spoken in class, immigration is a serious issue that is still being fought over today. After watching the short video on Diane Guerrero and her incident with her parents getting deported, I was shocked when I heard that she was left alone after her parents were taken away. It is sad to hear such tragedy when there is children involve. When Diane’s parents were deported, she was only fourteen, she was still too young to live on her own, since she was young, she had to depend on strangers, neighbors, and friends for everything. At that age no child should be left alone, a social worker should have came into the home to search for any family members that were left behind. If she did not have her friends and neighbors helping her out, she would have ended up in the streets, when they kick her out for not paying rent.

Whether to grant illegal immigrants full amnesty or not is a very controversial and important question in today's society. As David Decrosse explains, amnesty means, “lifting a penalty associated with an entire class of people who have violated a law.” Some people might think that American authority deporting illegal immigrants with little repercussions is amnesty, but full amnesty would mean letting the immigrants stay in America and have a regulated job. If amnesty is granted the economy would benefit, it is morally right, and it would not hurt the society in any way.

I understand that your current stance on immigration reform is that families should be reunited, not divided. While you believe that the story of America is a story of immigration, and that immigration reform should seek to ensure that our border remains protected, you agree that major steps need to be taken in order to correct our nation’s flawed policy regarding foreigners entering our country. As well, you have a multi-step plan that involves expanding President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) programs that provide relief to the “parents of DREAMers, the parents of citizens, the parents of legal permanent residents, and other immigrants who would have been given legal

I would like to formally state how I deeply disagree on how you would carry out your immigration reform if you do end up winning the presidency. On your campaign website, you claim that you will build a wall across the southern border, round up all those who had entered illegally, and you will make Mexico pay for the building of the wall. These ideas of yours are inhumane and goes against what the U.S. government stands for. The better alternative is we can give them a six month period, like Ben Carson said, for them to register for citizenship. Those six months would give them time to register for citizenship, get a job, and show that they have not caused any harm to this country.

Did you know there are 8,194,000 children in the United States with at least one immigrant parent? 8,194,000 children whose families are being threatened by the Trump administration's recent changes in immigration policies. Immigration reform has been a topic of controversy for decades. Most Americans blame Mexican immigrants for the United States economic problems and many believe undocumented immigration causes high crime rates. However recent studies have disproved that undocumented immigrants are a threat to American citizens. When people think of immigrants they think of an outdated caricature that doesn't truly represent all of the 11 million undocumented immigrants.

The United States is against immigrants coming here illegally but what they don’t realize is the damage they do to families. ‘At least 5,100 children in 22 states

Illegal immigration is a major problem which most of the developed countries face in the current economy, and it has been major political problem for the political parties in America (republicans and democrats) and over years each party has a different agenda to discuss the problem. Illegal immigration can be defined as a movement of people from a source country to the destination country without any legal documents and violates destination countries immigration laws. People have moved across lands over years to escape a war situation or to get better facilities in a different country. Countries have defined immigration laws to restrict people to enter their land without proper documentation as illegal immigration social and time
