The Pros And Cons Of Legalization Of Latino Immigrants

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.

According to Flow Psychology “Even if amnesty were to be implemented, immigrants still require assistance from the government’s welfare programs, adding up to trillions of dollars over the course of their life”(8 Pros and Cons of Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants). The more illegal immigrants join the U.S the more U.S funds are going to be drained. Immigrants need to come legally and have some sort of education to help stop the U.S spending. The law clearly states that if you didn't come legally you would be sent back. According to Crystal Lombardo “ They base their opinion solidly on the fact these people entered illegally, thus violating the law, and should therefore be not allowed to stay longer“(VisionLauch). Illegal immigrants don’t have the right to stay because they chose to break the law. The U.S made it a law for a reason and it is to control the population and keep Americans safe. This point of view sounds persuasive at first because it talks about key problems with illegal immigration. They failed to consider the pros to illegal immigration such as diversity in certain areas, and forgot to mention that they only take low paying jobs that Americans don’t want and aren't here to steal American jobs. They are here for the same reason that everyone else is here for a new life, freedom, and to become an American. Illegal immigrants deserve the same thing as Americans do equal

America, the States, USA, the North, are all different ways of referring to the nation in which everyone believes their dreams can become a reality. The United States of America is and has always been a nation of immigrants, but many forget that the first ones to arrive were not British but Spanish. The Spanish conquistadors were the first ones to arrive on American soil during the beginning of the 1500s. Soon most of the powerful nations in Europe followed. Despite their positive impact on the American culture, Latinos have been degraded for many years by the media, stereotypes and people with power like the chiefs of police and even presidential candidates. While the media portrays Latinos as maids and gangsters, the majority of Latinos migrate to the USA looking for a better future for their families and for themselves. In this essay, I will investigate the complex role that Latinos have played in American society, economic, and political life, focusing specifically on the cultural disconnect between Latino self-identification and white-American misconceptions of Latino-specific immigration.

Immigration is a hot button topic today and so many people have different opinions about it, but who oversees its laws? Our government is split into three main branches, Legislative, Executive and Judicial. Every branch contributes in a different way to have a law in action. The Legislative branch, which contributes to the first step of making any law, consists of the house of representatives and the senate, which together form the United States Congress which have the supreme authority to enact legislation, the privilege to confirm or reject many presidential appointments, and massive investigative powers (“The Legislative Branch”, 2017). The Executive branch, contributes to enforcing the laws and it mainly involves the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet (“The Executive Branch”, 2017). The Judicial branch, puts the final touches on the law and polishes it. It consists of the United States Supreme Court and lower federal courts. The Supreme Court's primary function is to hear cases that challenge the constitutionality of legislation or require interpretation of that legislation ("The Judicial Branch", 2017). Immigration laws are made within the Legislative branch, carried out by the Executive branch, and evaluated by the Judicial

June 2012 was a year with a huge break through on illegal immigration, and the fight to set the decision right. Opportunities to improve immigrants careers, schooling, and lives, who were born in the United States and plan on staying are on the rise. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was created to provide immigrants with an opportunity to stay in the States “legally,” but continue their lives through education if graduating from an U.S. high school, going to college, serving in the armed forces, and eventually gain citizenship in the United States. Many U.S. citizen have many thoughts and views on illegal immigrants and immigration in general, and the pros and cons to having DACA support illegal immigrants to stay in the country. There is a huge decision in process currently in 2017 that is putting DACA in risk from being a Federal Program that would end up effecting many immigrants. Threatening deportation and the possibility of losing everything that DREAMers have worked up to and for and are continuing to work towards is at a huge risk of just being thrown away. Keeping DACA and protecting the DREAMers is important because mentally and physically they are just as much of a U.S. citizen as anyone else born in the U.S.

Thank you for your thoughtful post. In other words, you are asking how can the United States justify not providing affordable health insurance for people residing and working in country? Baiden (2010) offerings two important points, “Most, if not all of these undocumented immigrants work hard and contribute to the country's economic growth” furthermore, “The problem is that such individuals suffer high degree of exploitation at the hands of their employers” (p. 5). Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for government insurance programs, are unlikely to have employer provided insurance, and often do not have the resources to purchase private insurance. Furthermore, research has identified vulnerable populations such as low income, uninsured

Illegal immigrant or illegal alien can be defined as a foreigner who enters the U.S. without an entry or immigrant visa, especially a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or who overstays the period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson. The term illegal and alien can be seen as prejudices and many view the word as inappropriate to describe a population of people and human beings. So, for the purpose of this essay I feel that a better word to define illegal immigrants is the term unauthorized immigrants. Now, the debate for what the United States should do about immigration has brought support from both extremes. Such as “deport them all” and “legalization for all”. When deciding what our country should do we need to take in consideration the moral, economic, legal, and social aspects that any reform

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

In 2009, Latinos were perceived as being most often subjected to discrimination, and 10% reported being asked about their citizenship when stopped by police (BECERRA, 2012). Attitudes towards Mexican illegal immigrants in regards to punishment for crimes is harsher than attitudes towards other immigrant populations (Short, 2002). Negative attitudes towards illegal immigrants from Mexico likely has a detrimental effect on US citizens of Latino

According to Thompson, the language which is used to construct the representation of immigrants is describing people as “illegal” or “alien” versus describing them as “undocumented” or “unauthorized.” (p.491) However, politics has become more upset and the media organizations are trying to codify language to make it neutral. Somehow, the government are exasperating immigrants as a host of negative connotation, meaning labeling them as criminals. The language that is being justified as inequality and oppression is how people mistreat all people of color especially, Latinos, which she talks about the most in this article. For example, she mentions immigrants has been called wet backs, aliens and wet backs. Those words have a powerful meaning upon them. In other words, people claim they are only neutral. Based on the influences of perception about public

Reforming the system has wide support from Wall Street, advocacy groups, the American people, and politicians. “Billionaires Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Sheldon Adelson urged congress to regulate the flow of immigrants coming to the United States and provide them a path to citizenship. They highlighted the economic value to the U.S. if lawmakers made it easier for skilled foreigners to work in the country, and the need for dealing with the undocumented population in ways allegedly true to Americas forgiving and generous traditions” (Tonolesen, 1). As recently as the 2014 midterm elections the majority of potential voters were found to support comprehensive immigration reform. As many as forty-four percent of the electorate considered reform an important issue;

Over the years immigration has been a heavily debated topic, as policymakers consider U.S. labor demands and border security concerns. Immigration reform has escaped Congress for years, moving decisions into the executive and judicial branches of government and pushing the debate into state and municipal governments. Meanwhile the fates of the approximate ten million illegal immigrants in the U.S., as well as future rules for legal migration are undecided. (Cfr.com) President Barack Obama must be the most well-known player in immigration as of right now. Barack Obama won over Latinos in 2008 with a promise to have a complete reform on immigration in his first year in office. Latinos, were disappointed after Obama not only failed to push for an

In discussing public policy on immigration reform, it is important to understand the difference between an “Immigrant” and “Illegal alien”. According to IRS.gov (2016), immigrant is defined as “an alien who has been granted the right by the USCIS to reside permanently in the United States”. An illegal alien is known as an “undocumented alien” who enters the country illegally or enters the country legally but falls “out of status”. It is important to note that illegal alien and illegal immigrant are used interchangeably. The policy-making process on Immigration reform is an important issue for Americans and is likely to play an important role in the 2016 presidential election.

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
