...English 120 Research Should illegal immigrants be granted a path to citizenship in the United States? This is a major topic in todays politics and is one that many have different views on. The most talked topic today is the Syrian refugees and whether or not United States should accept these people into our country and let them gain citizenship and also if by letting them enter our country is hurting our economy. So this is a major headline in our country as to let them in or not. In today’s presidential views with the current candidates running for office many of them have very different views and some many citizens find aggregable while some of the plans seem outrageous and foolish to some. Immigration whether that’s illegal or legal and also refugees was a big problem in the US but is now currently the most talked about topic as it is affecting jobs, taxes, political stances, and the economy as a whole and is something that our country needs to fix and address in hope we resolve this issue. During the WWI immigrants and being “illegal” was a huge factor as to whether or not to keep the Jews or kick them out as what was happening while Hitler was in rule in Germany and parts of Europe. A major controversy that many other countries have during this time and even some to this day have, is what the United States policies were on immigration and also the illegal ones from Nazi Germany into our country.

...We need immigration reform in America. The current system protects neither the immigrant from unlawful work practices, nor the American worker from lower wages. Donald Trump focuses on the American worker’s side, and he would be the first to say that we have a tremendous problem. His website states that Americans have lost countless jobs, our infrastructure is falling apart, and we continue to support illegal immigrants and send foreign aid to Mexico (“Immigration Reform”). While almost everyone in America agrees that immigration reform needs to happen, experts are united in the belief that Donald Trump’s plan is not the best way to do that, and there are several reasons. Donald Trump’s proposal is fight back against the Mexican government....

...Illegal immigration has turned into one of the most disputed topics in the United States. Over the years, there has been a marked increase in bias and hate crimes regionally and nationwide against illegal immigrants. Our country’s population is made up of approximately 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants. Over the past and current years, evidence has overwhelmingly shown that immigrants play a vital role in our country’s economic, social, and cultural prosperity. Therefore, responsible social, political, and church groups should try to change Americans’ hearts and minds about immigration and about persistent bias against people who are already members of our society. Illegal immigration is not an issue that can be simply solved through mass...

...Today, illegal immigration is at the highlight of American politics. Many citizens feel as though there are too many immigrants, especially those who enter the United States and attempt to reside here illegally. There have been growing sentiment that illegal immigrants are dangerous. Some people believe that illegal immigrants are taking too many jobs away from the native-born citizens. Other believe that these immigrants are abusing the welfare system and are becoming a burden to the United States. In 2017, President Trump’s administration took advantage of these sentiments to secure the Presidency for Donald Trump. President Trump successfully persuaded many citizens to vote for him by using his platform to increase these anti-immigrant...

...that would make it much easier for immigrants to enter the country. She proposes to continue what is being done now with DREAMers, DACA and DAPA. If the DREAM Act had been passed, in some instances children who were illegally brought into the country and went to an American school could be given legal status. The act was not passed. DREAMers are the children who would qualify, but have not been given to a legal status. Clinton will pass the DREAM Act if she is elected. (1)DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. This means that if an illegal immigrant came to the country as a child and apply to the guidelines they can ask for deferred action. Deferred action means that they are applying for their removal or...

...a productive president? Donald Trump has shown many times that he would not make a productive, reliable President. He has continuously made unprofessional remarks to, and about, many people that he could potentially lead. Donald Trump has made a large name for himself in the business world; he has done the same as a potential presidential candidate, but not in the right direction. A change in political parties may be what our country needs as it continues along the rebuilding process, but our choice for the next leader is a pivotal part of the change. Does our country need a person in office that vows to deport every illegal alien,...

...represents something unfamiliar, disturbing, and distasteful; a creature from out of space. In a sense illegal immigrants fit that description in some individual's opinion, but that doesn't define those who are here legally. In reality, I feel they should replace the term alien with something like: an individual of foreign descent who is in the United States "illegally"; in other words an illegal immigrant. As for The Rights of the Alien - related to the "elements of the Constitution's amendments (the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and the 14th) stating such as search and seizure, self-incrimination, trial...

...I believe that Donald Trump and I have the same taste of music. Obviously he loves the song “I know, you know” by The Friendly Indians. “I know you know, that I am not telling the truth, I know you know that they don’t have any proof.” He knows, we know that he isn’t telling the truth. But he got the last part wrong. We do have proof. He knows, we know that he just loves to grope women but won’t admit that what he does is wrong. He knows, we know that he didn’t lose the popular vote because of voter fraud intended to help his campaign opponent Hillary Clinton. He knows, we know that immigrants aren’t all to blame for the crime rates. He knows, we know that he isn’t telling the truth. We know, he knows he doesn’t have any proof. Gideon Resnick...

...deport 11 million immigrants considered un-American? Response: According to former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, the proposal to deport 11 million immigrants would not be possible. Bush stated that deporting 11 million immigrants would not be as embracing of the American values. In his exact words, “It would tear communities apart and would send the wrong signals about America.” While researching and reading the transcript of this debate I felt a sense of political efficacy in regards to the topic on immigration. I am a hard-working American citizen and I have always had mixed feelings about immigrants living here. I believe the real issue lies in the fact that there are more illegal immigrants than there are legal and the ones that are legal are waiting in line who have as presidential candidate, Donald Trump stated, “gone through the process” to get to the United States. The other candidates as well as some American citizens would view the deportation force as un-American because America has always been a “with open-arms” country to willingly let people in to find a better lifestyle for their children and families. Therefore, with all of that being said, to forcefully deport 11 million immigrants back and tear up communities and families would be considered “un-American” but it is something that just has to be done if we want to get this country moving forward as Donald Trump mentioned. 2. Did your research reveal any response(s) from “legal” immigrants? If so, what has the...

...and the United States has been one of the leading countries to accept immigrants from all over the world. The United States government has had many opinions on this subject.

One law of many concerning immigration is the Immigration Act of 1891, which creates the Bureau of Immigration...The act also calls for the deportation of people who entered the country illegally, and denies entry for polygamous, the mentally...

...Thousands of immigrants come to America every year in hopes to find jobs, opportunities, friends, or as some call it, the “American Dream”. Most of them end up succeeding as well! However, not exactly everybody agrees with letting them over. People argue that they take jobs, money, education, and plenty of other things. Infact, over half of them aren't even legal. “There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States” (Procon.org, Should the Government Allow Immigrants Who Are Here Illegally to Become US Citizens?). As you can see, there's quite a few. It's a Individual right for any legal citizen to have privileges such as healthcare, education, and job opportunities. However, illegal immigrants,...

...creation five years ago, it has allowed nearly 800,000 young men and women who came to this country as children — or Dreamers — to attend school, support their families, buy homes, begin careers, contribute to their communities, and pursue their dreams (aclu.org). The issue of immigration and how it relates to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is a diverse topic in today’s society that not too many people are very fond about. Many immigrants that reside in the United States are just looking for a better lifestyle for themselves and for their kids’ future as well. Therefore, it would unconstitutional to send back these immigrants that came looking for a better future, to be deported. It would be morally incorrect for the Trump administration to do so. Moreover, President Donald Trump anticipated on ending DACA...

...U.S. - Mexico Border What is the purpose of this "Great Wall" between Mexico and the U.S.? Cost? Approval? Before we get into that, lets review what the borders consist of now. The U.S. - Mexico Border is an international border separating Mexico, from the border of the United States; ranging from California in the west, to the far-east end of Texas. It is the most frequently crossed international border in the world. The border is made up of several different terrains.

...Core principles of Donald Trump's immigration plan Before anyone condemns Donald Trumps immigration policy I think they should read exactly what he has to say. Below you will find a synopsis, as I understand it. Nowadays, when most American politicians talk about “immigration reform” they’re essentially referring to 3 primary issues: amnesty, cheap labor and open (or closed) borders. Genuine immigration reform must place the needs of the American worker first, and not rich multinational donors who grease the palms of American politicians. The United States is the only country in the world whose immigration system places the needs of other countries before its own. This must stop in order to ensure a secure political and economic future for our country. Here are Donald Trumps three core principles for actual immigration reform: 1. The United States is a nation without borders. Any nation without borders is not a nation at all. There must be a barrier across our southern border. 2. The United States is essentially a nation without immigration laws. American immigration laws must be reflective of our Constitutional system and must be enforced. 3. The United States does not serve its own citizenry. Any immigration law must expand jobs, wages and security for all Americans. Mexico Must Pay For The Barrier...
