The next major issue addressed by a large number of Americans is healthcare. It goes without saying that a significant topic at the time of the Congressional turnover is the Affordable Care Act. This is another example of democratically legislative piece being pushed and opposed by a Republican voting body. Prior to the elections in November 2014, the President of the United States and the Senate acted according to Democratic Party ideology, while the sole source of power for Republicans, the House of Representatives, opposed their efforts in vain. Because Republicans only controlled one house of Congress, this meant that Democratic efforts were able to succeed and healthcare was opened up to many new citizens (citizens who had previously been
Latinos face many barriers that will also affect their process in seeking services. One of the barriers they face is due to their financial issues and transportation. (Bauer et al. 2000; Bell and Naugle 2005; Fugate et al. 2005; Lewis et al. 2005; Strube 1988 as cited in Mookerjee, Fernandez, & Chin, 2015). Not all Latinos have an income and are living in low income households. Also not having transportation to be able to seek those services is also a barrier for Latinos. Although public transportation is always something they may use, if they are low income some may not even have enough for that. They may be unemployed, and also lack insurance coverage. (Callejas et al. 2006; Bussing et al. 2003; Derose and Baker 2000; Garland et al. 2005;
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 has a mandatory detention provision in 8 U.S.C 1226(c). The issue this pathfinder explores is whether §1226 (c) requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain a noncitizen offender who committed a qualifying offense “when the alien is released” from custody immediately or any time after they are released from criminal custody. The language of the statute is ambiguous because it does not provide a time frame for when an alien can be detained after being released from custody for a qualifying offense. The statute is not clear whether “when released” can mean a couple of days after release from custody or years after release.
The legal options for an undocumented immigrant to come into the United States is to a) apply for a green card, b) have a temporary visa, c) apply for the visa waiver program, or d) apply for immigration benefits. Without completing one of these you risk the chance of not being able to enter the US, or being able to get a green card ever. The over complicated, patchy, and incongruous government procedure does not properly serve those trying to legally immigrate into the United States. No matter how miserable you perceive your life to be living in the United States, every year millions of people are repeatedly going through this gruesome systems just to become a US citizen.

US Immigration Policy in modern America is an embarrassment, compounded by many politicians apathetic and sometimes avaricious stance regarding these human transplants. For example, The Immigration Act of 1990 requires that those seeking Diversity Immigrant Visas obtain a high school diploma and have two years’ work experience, as well as two years’ job training before applicants can be considered to receive said Visa. In countries with destitute economies and little access to education for the masses, what chance do ordinary citizens have of meeting these criteria? These prerequisites share parallels with Jim Crow Laws of the 20th century such as a literacy tests and poll taxes, which not only disenfranchised blacks but also poor whites. If we only allow the educated and previously employed a foot through the door, we are doing a disservice to those not afforded the same opportunities and stealing from them the possibility of a new life in the land of opportunity.

Immigration laws in the United States should be adjusted so it is easier to migrate to the U.S. This is true because all human beings have a right to seek out a better life. For example, children in Central America are trying to migrate to the U.S. but immigration laws are preventing them from entering the country. In effect of this they are forced to hire guides or more commonly known as “coyotes” who help them illegally cross the border. When all they are trying to do is escape their terrible lives in Central America where they will most likely be forced to join a gang and sell drugs. But even then, some people want to create more barriers to keep immigrants out which is un-fair and just
The United States immigration system is faulty. The United States does not possess an immigration program that stipulates immigrants who do not already have family in the country or a job to become United States citizens unless they stay for many years with a green card. Consequently, immigrants are entering our country illegally and poverty forces some to commit crimes in order to provide for themselves and their families. There should be a program that will aid immigrants and existing United States citizens. Fortunately, one has already been imagined. This is the optimal solution for immigration: the government will provide transition housing with a goal of legal citizenship in the United States.
This case discusses an employer who was found guilty of unlawfully discharging 20 employees an election campaign for engaging in lawful union-organizing activities. As a remedy, the employer voluntarily agreed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), to reinstate the employees and provide them with back pay for their lost wages. However, once the settlement was approved, the employer refused to comply with the agreement made with the National Labor Relations Board because the employees were illegal immigrants. Compensating the employees would place the employer in violation of both, Immigration and Reform Control Act of 1986, and the Legal Arizona Workers Act (“Holley, Jennings & Wolters,” 2012).
America is a country that is constantly growing in size and population. Each day many immigrants travel into the United States from many different countries, whether it be for work or social reasons. However, the immigration system leaves many who are not among the lucky finding their way legally across the border left with no choice but to either stay put, or illegally come into United States territory. With the increase of immigration around the world, and the upcoming political debates, this issue has become more controversial as time goes on. Along with all of the attention with the issue comes many different positions and viewpoints toward the subject. There is that of major emphasis on border security, claiming that the reason for a mass of illegal immigration is due to holes in the border, as the lead runner for the Republican Party, Donald Trump argue that the answer to the problem is to “ship them out, put up a great big wall, and allow those that are deserving back in.” Another position is to focus on the immigration policy itself, arguing that the reason people illegally come into America is due to the broken system. Finally, the last position will be a position overlooked many times, and that is from the point of view of an immigrant who has gone through the process and dealt with it first hand. Here, at UTA, the students have the opportunity to attend one of the most diverse schools in the nation, where many students have come from foreign countries and have
However, there still remain remarkable racial disparities amongst black and white Americans, when it comes to the matter of immigration reform which has not moved over the last year. For example, more than two-thirds, which is about 68%, of white are disgruntled with the course of the nation, comparable to the figures who chose to report how they felt in 2013. A majority, about half (53%), of blacks stated that they are pleased with the manner in which president Barack Obama and the democrats are handling immigration reform for both the undocumented skilled and low skilled workers and other families here in the United States. Reactions among Hispanics, howev¬er, have twisted significantly with a more unenthusiastic tone over the past year.
Immigration problems are not just a problem in Arizona but a problem throughout the United States. The definition in the Webster dictionary, an illegal immigrant or alien is a non-citizen whom has entered the United States without government permission or who has stayed beyond the termination date of the visa is consider an illegal immigrant or alien. Arizona’s newly enacted immigration law, which was meant to stem human trafficking and drug-related border violence, has been criticized by many as a way of racial profiling. The House Bill 2126 which makes it a state misdemeanor crime for any illegal alien to be in Arizona without carrying registration documents’ required by the federal law. The bill also helps the state and local law
“There were 11.1 million of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S in 2014” (5 Facts About Illegals). This epidemic is causing hospitals to declare bankruptcy wherever there is a larger population of illegal immigrants. Living so close to the Mexican border, Texas has an inflation of illegal immigrants causing working citizens to pay their hard earned money for illegal immigrants to get health care for free, even though they aren’t employed or a citizen of the United States. American citizens should not provide healthcare to illegal immigrants.
