...Life of a Immigrant Immigrants affecting the American economy and job chances. Many immigrants will do whatever it takes to get a job. Immigrants cross borders to get jobs to support their families. Many Americans are upset about how immigrants come over and receives a job before that do. For example, a reason why immigrants receives jobs before americans is because immigrants will accept less than minimum wage which deprives americans of even a chance at many jobs. In the film, the immigrants were working in the fields picking peppers and other vegetables for less pay. Another example, is that illegal’s will work for three to four dollars when americans will work for $7.25 or more. Not just the pay but immigrants will also work long hours in any conditions to help their families. So therefore americans los opportunities on jobs because they want more pay. Problems border patrol go through. Border patrol is a hard job to do. They make sacrifices every night trying to stop illegal aliens for getting free. For example, they face illegal immigrants running, jumping fences and sometimes fighting with them. However, they do not have to worry about just immigrants getting through. Border patrol has to also worry about their bosses yelling at them angrily , and possibly getting fired for not doing their jobs well enough. Patrol has complaints sometimes for being to aggressive with the immigrants. In the film, border patrol has to camp out all night in their chairs and in their trucks...

...real American citizens. In this argument of whether banning immigrants are a good thing or not, banning immigration is a good thing. The first thing immigration banning does is it can bring harm to the nation (Supp-16). It can help the nation by having fewer people who do harmful things to the U.S., like drugs and violence (Supp-16). Imagine there was an corrupt country from immigrants because of illegal drug traders. According to facts, since America is a free country, there have been multiple attacks on the U.S. (Supp-16). For example the attack from immigrants from Somalia, where they attacked homes of U.S.A and tried to make American citizens join ISIS. Also, imagine that there was blood splattered everywhere, homes destroyed, and some immigrants yelling at American citizens to join ISIS, that would be a corrupt country. This is how drugs and corruption from immigrants affect the country....

...In this paper, I want to focus on Immigrant Students in Secondary Schools. As a previous high school immigrant when I first arrived in United States, I have experience numerous difficulties in school that I would never forget. In addition, I believe immigrant students of secondary school can face major difficulties in learning English and succeeding in school. Since these students do not have a lot of time than elementary students to learn English, and they have to pass several test that require English skill such as the ACT and SAT. Above all, most secondary school texts and materials require a sufficient English reading ability to understand, which will even make learning experience becoming even tougher for high school immigrant. Before going into detail, lets take a look at the statistics of the United States’ immigration in the past few decades. According to U.S Bureau of the Census 1997a statistic, over a million immigrants, legal and illegal, entering the United States each year. And since the passage of the Immigration Act of 1965, which eliminated national origin quotas. Europe is no longer the main sources of newcomers to the United States but instead of Asia and Latin America. The largest groups come from Mexico, China, Cuba, and Vietnam. In the fall of 1997, 9 million (about one in five) elementary and secondary school students had a foreign born parents. With over 90% of recent immigrants coming from non English speaking countries, schools are increasingly...

...growing population of immigrants, both legal and illegal. There is much controversy on whether or not immigrants should be allowed to live in the United States. My personal opinion is that immigrants play a crucial role in our country’s very existence and are necessary for the development of our society. Immigrants have not only had an impact on us in present times, but they have affected our past substantially and will indefinitely affect our future. Immigrants founded the country of the United States of America. Europeans came to the states and began setting up colonies, political systems, and other customs and traditions. Given they were not the first inhabitants of the new world, they were the ones who ultimately influenced how we live now. If you put things in perspective, life, as we know it today would be entirely different. America is the melting pot for a wide variety of races, cultures, religion, beliefs, etc. The fact that the United States contains so much diversity has allowed the country as a whole to progress so much faster than other countries. Most of the money that is made in the United States is due to immigrants and the cultures they brought along with them. A huge business influenced by immigrants is the food industry, without immigrants we would not have the selection of the delicious delicacies enjoyed by other cultures. Technology is also another important luxury that we are fortunate enough to have, if we did not consult with immigrants from other countries...

...Obstacles Immigrants aren’t evil like most Americans believe, they are human beings that are trying to make a better living for themselves. Living and growing up with immigrants, makes the world be portrayed though a different lenses. Immigrants live on constant fear of being deported, even when they have not done any criminal activity. Immigrants pay attention to the news, for any laws that may affect them or benefit them in any way. However, most laws or people are against immigrants, for the prejudice that are set for these immigrants. There is “41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2013, accounting for 13 percent of the overall U.S. population” (Zong).Theirs Mexican, Muslim, Chinese and many other races that are in the United States and each of them have had an obstacle here in the United States. This country is known for welcoming others, having people achieve the American dream. But the government and the people seem to say otherwise, because most of these immigrants do not come close to that dream others talk about. Hearing immigrants story about how in their native country people think that America is glory, the best of the best, because the American dream is a dream everyone can accomplish. This dream is less likely to be reached by immigrants with the obstacles they have. One obstacle is obtaining citizenship, this process takes years to develop and get granted. The laws that make it hard for them to not live in constant fear, one example of their disturbance...

...THE RIGHTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN KENYA: LESSONS FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. GODWIN KIPKIRUI LANGAT LAW/M/0985/09/12 ABSTRACT Many perspectives have been offered in the academic literature to explain the phenomenon of illegal immigration across the world. Unfortunately, most studies fail to adequately account for the rights of immigrants and how they are being violated. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study The purpose of this research is to show all the rights of illegal immigrants and the extent to which they are violated and/or respected in Kenya’s legal system by use of vital lessons from the American legal system. Respecting their rights is important because it shows that we are respecting the rule of law. It is important to note that all people are equal and therefore they should be treated equally without discrimination. People should also be allowed the freedom of movement and also that it should be ensured that the same freedom of movement should be regulated so that it ensures that one single country or state do not suffer the outcomes of immigration. Migration is a fact of life whereby people move to new countries to improve themselves economically and maybe to pursue their educations. Others leave to escape armed conflicts or other violations of human rights. Several statutory laws in Kenya provide means by which certain aliens/illegal immigrants can become naturalized citizens. Immigration law determines who...

...affiliation: Submission date: America is informally termed as a "nation of immigrants" because of the widely open-door policy based on accepting foreigners chasing the vision of the so called American Dream. Legal and illegal immigration is a situation that not only exists in the U.S., but all over the world. Illegal immigration is defined as the relocation of individuals into a state in infringement of the immigration sovereignty and laws of a particular nation (Garni, 2010). Illegal immigration also involves entering a foreign country legally but refusing to depart after one’s visa expiry. It involves trespassing international political boundaries through land, air, and water unlawfully. Most illegal immigrants in the U.S. enter the country using two popular ways. First, through the U.S Mexico border and the other is by over staying their visas. A large percentage of illegal immigrants in the U.S are from Mexico, Canada, Africa and Europe. The impact of immigration is mostly felt in states where great numbers of immigrants have resided. Examples of these states include California and New Jersey. This has become a key concern to the U.S. government and its citizens. The genesis of illegal immigration dates back to the late 19th century. In 1875, a national law was approved which barred entry of prostitutes and convicts. In 1882 President Chester A. Arthur barred approximately all Chinese immigrants to the United States, and later thereafter disqualified criminals and paupers...

...type. While immigrant is a person who is entering a country from another to take up new residence. The activity of migration has take place since the beginning of human being from their first home in Eastern Africa to all over the world. Ever since civilization, humans tend to categorized immigrants into legal and illegal based on few factors which vary from one civilization to another. Legal immigrants has always play a significant roles in boosting the economic growth of the country. In fact, most of the time, economic factor is the main reasons to bring in legal immigrants to fill up the human resources gap exist in any migrated country. It is proven that some economic superpower would not be at the level they are right now if its not because of migration that took place centuries before. United States for an examples is hardly united themselves or reached the level they are right now should they resist to migration and depends on the Apache Tribe for development and the Cherokees for governing. Same goes to other country country like Australia, Canada and etc. Apart of occupying the unemployed positions, the legal immigrants always, at one particular time will have the tendency to get involved in the economic not only as a small player at the dispense of working in small position, but also as a big or main economic player by venture in enterprenuership. Viewing the situation here in Malaysia as an example, it is obvious as it seen that the legal immigrants or even the...

...committed by minorities which mean that an increase in immigrants means an increase in crime. Do native born Americans have a viable concern with immigration and an increase in crime or is this just a way for the media, politicians, and anti-immigration groups to spread their opinions and fears on immigration? If there is a correlation between crime and immigration how will this play a role in today’s prison system? An overwhelming amount of native born Americans believe that the influx of immigrants, especially illegal immigrants, will have a negative effect on the crime rate in the United States. Of course, in an absolute sense, it probably does. Immigration brings more people into the country, and unless this process is counterbalanced by emigration, the absolute volume of crime will very likely increase. In addition, immigrants are often disproportionately male and at early ages of labor market entry and advancement. Because young males are disproportionately likely to be involved in crime in all parts of the world that we know about (Hirschi and Gottfredson, 1983), this may also contribute to increases in crime. In this sense we will probably want to know whether immigrants who enter the country contribute to crime beyond what we could otherwise expect of citizens of similar numbers, ages, gender, and so on. Recent research suggests that the claims that immigration cuases crime are false, and that in reality immigrants may have dramatically lower crime rates thatn Unites...
