...Immigration Citizens Children The Effects of Immigration on Children and Families Introduction Illegal immigration is a very controversial issue within our society. There are families within our society that are made up of parents that are here illegally but have children who are born here and are citizens. But it is these citizens that are what I am referring to as the incomplete citizens. Who are these incomplete citizens and why are they being impacted by our society? Are there different stipulations for these children that are born to these undocumented families? Do they really receive the same rights as those born to U.S. citizens? Our societies including our politicians have different opinions about illegal immigration. Immigration reform negatively affects those children that are born to undocumented parents. They find themselves facing adversities that had the situation been different would never have to face. Working in an elementary school I have seen first hand how those children are affected as a result of their parent’s legal status. My purpose in this research is to show the emotional, educational, and financial effects that are inflicted on the undocumented families. This is a problem that is not going to be resolved overnight but rather this is a problem that is going to need help from the various disciplines. With this research more information will be found to present how children are affected through the different disciplines and how these disciplines...

...Analysis Essay ENG/215 1/26/2015 Jennifer Rainville | Immigration Control Introduction Illegal immigration is a big problem in the United States. If you ask around where you live you will get so many different views and arguments. Realistically immigration has resulted in the laws having more illegal immigrants live and work here in the United States. I have read three different articles on the pros and cons of illegal immigration. Immigration is becoming a normal thing in the United States and it shouldn’t be. Summary In the article “Let Us Give Thanks to Our Immigrants” by Rupert Murdoch, he shows some evidence to support his agreeing with illegal immigration. He shows support on how they have contributed to the education in America. Whereas in the articles “The Winners in Immigration: Public Prisons,” by Aubrey Pringle, and “Republican Views on Immigration,” by RepublicanViews.org shows support on why immigration is not good for the United States. Murdoch shows that many of the high paying jobs in the United States are held by immigrants or children of immigrants. Whereas Pringle and RepublicanViews.org shows that our government is suffering because of all the illegal immigrants in our country. Argument Murdoch is pro-immigration. He has provided evidence to show why he supports immigration. He also was an immigrant himself and all his family was from Scotland. He does state though that these days it’s hard to talk about the benefits of immigration after...

...Arthur April 23, 2009 Final Essay Prof. Medlin English 1020 United States-Mexican Border Wall Immigrants founded the United States of America and ever since then there have been people from all over the world coming to America for a chance at a better life for themselves and their families. Immigrants from all over the world come, some legally and some illegally. A majority of these immigrants come from southern-border country Mexico. Everyday, the United States has hundreds of illegal immigrants come into the country. They cross over from the Rio Grande into Texas; they cross over into Arizona, New Mexico, and California. With all of the problems that the United States is facing from illegal immigration, maybe it is time that the American government should have a stronger form of border control. For years there has been talk of a stronger border and in some cases there has been action. However, with the opinions in favor of a stronger border security, such as a border wall, there are also strong opinions against the idea. A border wall would help the United States with security issues; it might also slow down the number of immigrants coming across the border every year. The fact is that something must be done to slow down illegal immigration before this country becomes over populated. Illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from American citizens, who at this moment during the recession need those jobs more than ever. The United States government must take action;...

...The definition of an immigrants is a person who leaves their country for another country. They leave for all types of reasons such as a better life, escape from trouble in their own country, or simply a change in venue. Immigration can lead to the diversity of not only people, but of ideas. Unfortunately, immigration is not always the easy process, people tend to make it out to be. The two problems facing immigrants today, is first arriving to the country to the country safely, and being accepted once they get there. In Paul Farmer’s essay, On Suffering and Structural Violence: A View from Below, he discusses how some people are unable to get opportunities other people have based on location. For example, in Haiti a country located in the same hemisphere as affluent such as, the United States, Great Britain, and other powerful western countries has struggles with providing food and water to their people. These are the type of people who want a better life, but do not have the opportunities to get them in their own country. They may want to leave their country, but that can prove to be an even more difficult task, because finding the...

...Dominican Republic immigrant in the United States to achieve the American Dream, the concept of racism and the idea of hyper masculinity pushed upon a young boy growing up. Moreno, Marisel. Debunking Myths, Destabilizing Identities: A Reading of Junot Diaz’s "How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie." Fall2007, Vol. 26 Issue 2. This article is presented with an essay which analyzes the short story "How to Date a Brown girl, Black girl, White girl, or Halfie," by Junot Diaz. It reflects on racial ethics and how one generation can affect another by embedding in our psyche that racism is the fault of our ancestors; as it is something that has been handed down from generation to generation. I chose this article because the racism that the characters faced within Drown is quite similar to the ones faced by immigrants in the United States. There is a racial and ethnic tension among blacks and Hispanics which in some cases turns violent. Examples of this can be found in the short story that gives the name to the novel: Yunior´s mother relates to him of the attacks of African Americans on Hispanics in their neighborhood.

...years, America had become a symbol for hope and prosperity and this was seen as a gift by the world, which would lead to a high immigration rate inside the U.S. that required the formation of certain immigration ports such as New York and San Francisco. The end result would be the movement of over 10 million people into the U.S. over a 20 year span, which would lead to similar acts of nativism by the people that we sometimes face today. In my essay I will explore the early years of immigration through Ellis Island, how Ellis Island was important for being the torch in the East and how the geography would affect the situation immigrants faced. Before the torch, before the arrival of millions of people into the U.S. seeking...

...Brian Jackson Final Essay Policing Illegal Immigration Illegal immigrants are criminals and should be treated as such. Immigrants crossing the border are putting innocent lives in jeopardy. Not only are illegals crossing the border, they are bringing weapons, illegal drugs and other harmful objects into our country. When illegals come into our country they are somehow getting jobs that some of the legal Americans are not granted. This could be some of the reason why our unemployment rate is high. The border control should have the ability to anything in reason to keep these criminals out of our country. Crossing the border illegally is a crime, therefore, the people that do so should be treated like criminals. If an officer pulls over someone and they do not have a licenses he should have the ability to ask the person for their green card. If the person cannot show their legal status in American, the officer should have the right to obtain the person and take him in to make sure he isn’t illegal. The border control has cracked down in the past few years and have many more arrest and have apprehended more drugs. It is getting better but there are still far to many illegals entering the US. If immigration continues at this rate, the nation's population will increase from 301 million today to 468 million in 2060. If we start treating illegal immigrants as criminals, it will send a message to the people who are thinking about crossing the border and will help cut down the number...

...Kevin Oliveira Professor Madritch Expository Writing 30 November 2011 Leslie Marmon Silko: A Closer Look Into Racist Struggles The controversial dilemma of illegal immigration is a prominent part of politics today more than ever. Leslie Marmon Silko’s persuasive essay, “Fences Against Freedom,” exemplifies the constant battle on racism and immigration our nation faces today. Through her own experiences, she has concluded that the government evokes racism among the population in a negative manner. Silko’s essay explains that the government is a body that is not to be trusted and that their mischievous ways trickle down the ladder to us. She speaks for all persons with mixed ancestry on the point that their lives are daily struggles as a result of our nation’s leaders and their misperceived views on race. Racism is one of the leading social problems that Americans can associate themselves with because it is seen everywhere and it is spreading the wrong message. The ineffectiveness of Silko’s argument, that the government and media is to blame for the apparent racism in the country today, is exemplified through her constant contradiction of statements and child-like motives. Silko blames the government for their actions that have affected her life as well as many other people of different race. Leslie Marmon Silko grew up in Native American home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is well known for her English and writing skills and she was raised as a Laguna Pueblo...

...Unification and Integration in the American Political System A serious problem among Latinos in America is finding a similarity among the many Latino cultures residing within the United States, an issue that can be better understood looking at the existing literature of the Latino’s community and political condition in order to explain their ability and opportunity to be incorporated into the American political system. The one constant for the Latino culture is similarity of language; the one difference is national origin. This difference comes from the fact that most Latino’s define themselves by their ancestral past e.g. Mexican, Spanish, Colombian, Puerto Rican or whomever their culture identifies with as far as an ancestral past and country is concerned. This said the emergence of citizens in the United States in relation to the Latino population brings with it an undefined people. Unlike other cultures in America who have an identifiable label or race i.e.: White, Black, Asian, Irish etc. for the Latino being defined as Hispanic was set by the Nixon administration and thus classified all Latinos as one people now known as Hispanic. Latinos have been compressed into a collective culture that at times cannot or will not identify with one another. (Fraga. P 517) What ultimately has occurred is one group of Americans is acknowledged by race-- while the others are compared by culture. Essayist Richard Rodriguez, editor of the Pacific News Service eloquently defines...
