...Essay on Immigration Law No Changes in the Immigration Law Essay: The problem of immigration is nowadays one of the most serious problems the contemporary American society is currently facing. Many specialists argue that the growing number of immigrants, especially illegal ones is dangerous for the future development of the national economy as well as for socio-political life of the whole country. In such a situation it is quite natural that American government is getting to be particularly concerned about the problem of immigration and initiated a legislative reform concerning immigration. The history of the US is a history of inflow of immigrants, embodied in Ellis Island, and the history of adverse reaction to the newcomers on the part of the current population. Many people in the United States think that the number of immigrants should be limited and the immigrations laws should be changed. In my opinion, immigration laws should not be changed since they work well for the country and people’s unsatisfaction with the laws comes from general hostility toward the immigrants. This view in particular, is embraced in the article by Richard Rodriguez “Trouble is, native-born just don’t measure up – anti-immigrant politic” that focuses on the role immigration has played in the development of the US and approaches that should be taken in treating this phenomenon at the moment. The current policy of the US basically target well-qualified specialists from other countries of the...

...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...

...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...

...of that great dream that so many sought so many years ago. During a visit to Ellis Island last summer I learned that during the early 1900’s we encouraged immigration because it was a time when our country’s territory had grown and we needed more people to help with the continued development of our country. Today, however, we find that immigration is not seen as a positive for our country, but rather it is unquestionably considered a problem today in America. Immigration law is in the news a lot and immigration policy is a big topic discussed in congress; it is even a major issue for Obama’s administration. Some people in government believe that we should “close the door” and reduce the amount of people coming into our country; especially as it relates to the problems we have had with terrorist activities. But, I believe that the main problem with immigration is not the legal immigrants who come here following the rules, but rather it’s the illegal immigrants who sneak into our country over borders and then put a burden on our social services and do harm to our country. So, what is the solution? Currently there are almost 12 million illegal immigrants in America and that makes it just too expensive and a big project to just deport all of them at one time, so we need a better plan; something must be done. Illegal immigration inflicts a great threat to America. Aside from the belief that illegal immigrants are stealing jobs from our own citizens and the legal immigrants, but some...

...Essay Questions: How and why do the workplace experiences of employees from non – English speaking backgrounds differ from other workers? How can, and should, should actor respond to this? How are these differences manifested, and responded to, in your own workplace? The workplace experiences of employees from Non–English Speaking Backgrounds (NESB) differ from other workers for a number of reasons. Employment opportunity is a primary reason why individuals emigrate to other countries (de Castro et al. 2006). While employment in a host country has benefits, immigrants often face considerable challenges as they learn and adjust to the norms and values of the host culture. In particular, immigrant workers may face the ‘‘double jeopardy’’ of dealing with stressors related to both working in a new country as well as to living in a new society (de Castro, Gilbert & Takeuchi 2008). Like other European countries, Australia is also a very attractive destination for migrant workers. Migrants have been part of Australian society and the Australian workforce since colonisation began in 1788. However the migrant population at the time was of a predominantly European background. It was from the mid-nineteen century when Chinese, Pacific Islander, Lebanese, Afghan, Indian and European migrants arrived and settled in Australia. Due to the gradual liberalisation of Australian immigration policies, the ethnic composition of Australian migrants has shifted significantly, bringing...

...December 12, 2013 Unit IV Essay Question #5 The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 led to a dramatic change in the United States population. This act abolished an old quota system and established a new immigration policy based on reuniting immigrant families. Not only was that attracting but the fact that this would attract skilled laborers to the United States as well. All this eventually changed the United States and the demographics of the American population. New immigrants came from all the world adding new cultures and division to the known American society. The Civil Rights Movement was the strength that pushed the immigration policy into effect and really pushed the growth of it. The movement was based on equal treatment and why push people away who were not Americans while promoting equality? However, many immigrants began to protest and argue that the quota system was in fact discriminatory. All this speculation allowed John F. Kennedy to even get involved in the immigration movement. He spoke among many calling the system in favorable and intolerable. After Kennedy’s involvement it sparked Congress to begin debating on whether or not to pass the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965. Soon after the bill was signed in 1965 and marked a monumental moment for all immigrants. However, this did embark on a pretty huge issue for the United States as a country. “All told, in the three decades following passage of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of...
