Theories Of Immigration

When immigration policy is discussed, typically, it is discussed within the confines of egalitarian notions and sentiments, and inside the boundaries and parameters set by generally Marxist-influenced social democracy. Characteristically, it is not discussed pertaining to the concept of a social order built on the rights of property owners, sharers, and contributors to and of the common stock- which at their discretion- may exclude bad apples, lazy contributors, rotten characters, trespassers, and terrorists. Once egalitarian sentiments and notions are rejected full-scale- (only giving credence to those that have empirical weight or logical consistency) more proper, more substantive interdisciplinary analyses may reveal that the current investigative techniques employed by current mainstream political theorists are- in the context of reality, incorrect, superficial and quite shallow.

Migration is not a new phenomenon throughout the history of human, but the issue of migration has become more of a problem since the emerging of modern states. The distinction between immigrants and local citizens has become official with the emergence of nation-state authority and the ideas of sovereignty, citizenship and nationality. From the 19th century, the control of passport and visa has made the borders between immigrants and citizens even clearer and more identified. Today, as there are more restrictions on entering a country, states have to deal with regulating policies for immigration to control the influx of people

I feel that immigration is one of the biggest issues that face the world in whole. Immigration is an important topic that needs a lot of attention and something that needs to be influenced to seize. It brings so much conflict between governments and individuals, causing disputes amongst them. I often here so much about immigration on the news nowadays. I feel that immigration isn’t a bad thing but when it begins to be illegal is when I feel it becomes the problem. I hear of people coming into America for different reasons such as financial benefits and employment. I think the biggest issue about it is getting those illegal immigrants back across the border. I strongly feel that the illegal immigrants that go to another country to do bad things such

Illegal immigration has been a huge problem of United States for a long period of time. There are two common ways of how people come to US illegally; first is to cross the border between Mexico and US; second is to overstay when they come to US as a visitor. Why do people want to come to the United States if they are going to be here illegally? Simply, because those illegal immigrants want to have a better life than what they have back in their homeland; but the question here is why then did people come to the United States illegally if they are not getting any benefits? As I asked myself this question, my mind begun to think about the

Washington reminds the Americans the importance of remaining united. He addresses the citizens by proclaiming, “The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations (21).” He continues by acknowledging the achievement of independence and liberty was due to working together as one. Therefore, Americans, as a unified nation should guard and preserve the union of the nation. He is talking about citizens of the United States, whether naturalized or by birth, should put America above all. And that the very name, American, should conjure up strong patriotism. This new nationalistic uprising in the United States has come with a price - a huge increase of hate crimes under the guise of nationalism and the “Make America Great Again” slogan from the current presidential administration.

Today, immigration is a heated topic and everyone views it in a different way. Immigration is the movement of people to a different country where they were not originally from. This should not be mixed up with emigration, which has a different meaning. While immigration is when someone joins a new group, emigration occurs when someone leaves that group. With that being said, there are many reasons why people immigrate to a different place. Some of these reasons may include better opportunities, to connect with families, or the freedom of religion. Whatever the reason is, immigration is an important reason and it affects everyone involved. Between 1950 and 2010, 92 million people moved from their original country to someplace else. They came

David Cole's "Five Myths about Immigration," while not a persuasive argument, is obviously a personal issue for the author who believes Americans treat immigrants poorly. He introduces the reader to "Know Nothings," or "Native Americans," who blame every problem in America on the immigrants (Cole 189-90). In the introductory paragraph, Cole attempts to obtain the reader's sympathetic feelings as he writes with great passion when he describes the mistreatment his Irish Catholic immigrant ancestors endured (190). This in turn raises the question of how objective he could remain when presenting his arguments. Coles' attempts to disprove the five

“Immigration make us stronger. It keeps us vibrant. It keeps us hungry. It keeps us prosperous. It is part of what makes this such a dynamic country”-Barack Obama. Throughout America’s history, immigrants have been a pivotal aspect on its economy and culture. America has always been a nation of immigrants, in fact during 1881 to 1920 nearly 23.5 million immigrants were welcomed by the American government with open arms. However, this phase ended when the U.S. government decided to put a limit on the number of immigrants accepted in the U.S. due to fear of communism. This country which was so often admired for its fairness and tolerance on immigration now has a broken immigration system which has become so cruel and unfair to businesses, workers, and families alike. President Obama strives to fix the United States’ many economic and social problems with his immigration reform. This plan, which promises temporary citizenship to qualifying immigrants, has put a strain in the relationship between the national and state governments. Texas’ current governor Greg Abbott is currently taking legal action against President Obama’s administration, he argues that President Obama’s immigration reform will hurt the economy. Greg Abbott is not only fighting Obama’s immigration reform but he is also making harmful decisions regarding the future of the Texas Dream Act. In order to understand the current immigration issues in the Unites States it is important to understand the recent changes

In this journal, Edna Bonacich discusses how Los Angeles has become the center of apparel production in the US, relying heavily on the employment of Latino immigrants (Mexicans and Central Americans), who are most often undocumented. Edna Bonacich is a professor at the University of California Riverside. This journal is aimed at an academic/scholarly college audience seeking to examine the role of Latino immigrants as operatives in the apparel industry and the conditions in which they must work. This source can be compared to Michael Innis-Jiménez’s Steel Barrio and the steel industry. Despite these two sources discussing different job industries and cities, I can discuss how Mexican immigrants have had a huge role in working in these job

Due to the huge number of legal and illegal immigrants in the United States, there have been many debates and arguments about social effects that immigrants has brought upon the U.S. for instance, social services that immigrants can receive such as government benefits for low-income, families and individuals. After the attack on September 11th, the American public has been worried about what social effect that immigrants might have such as crime, national security, and other issues.

Many immigrant groups such as the Irish and the Jew migrated to the United States of America in the 19th century to seize a chance to obtain a better degree of social, education, freedom opportunity ranging from escaping religious oppression to desiring to go the “Promised Land” and food shortage to job employment. However, the moment the immigrant groups arrived to the United States of America, the “Anglo-European”, Americans, or Whites racialized them, inserting each immigrant groups into the lowest position among with Black of the class hierarchy where Whites are at top based on racial formation. Racial, class, class formation, and gender formation are the society’s set of expectation of a particular race detailly constantly constructed

Nowadays migration is getting to be one of the dominant characteristics of the modern world since at the present moment that movement of people and migration of citizens from one country to another become a norm. Not surprisingly that such unparallel and extremely high level of migration results in substantial demographic, ethnical and socio-cultural changes in many countries of the world.

The analysis of the theory of immigration by Joseph Carens opens up a discussion on different principles of ethics along side and determines how immigration should be viewed as. Carens is a professor in Canada that focuses on political theory, more specifically in immigration and is considered a leading ethical theorist in his field. This analysis of Carens theory of constitutes on reflections that will require a fair amount of reading on ethics and interstate migration. One must acknowledge that Joseph Carens not just has the argument of “citizenship after living in a few years in the country”, but he also has his famous “open border” policy. We will be analyzing Carens theory on ethics of interstate migration by providing his view, argument,

For the second hypothesis, I could test it by explaining to a crowd of people about how immigration could help this country in the medium and long term. I could explain that immigrants work and benefit this country as much as American citizens. I also could explain that immigrants are a big part of the economic sector of the country, because they do many jobs that include construction, fast-food restaurants and factory jobs. I think this method is appropriate, because I want to state to the crowd that this issue of immigration reforms does have a positive effect towards the country. It might not seem at first to be a positive effect (many people are moving to America every year and it seems to get out of control), but as time progresses, the
