...Immagrants in the face because they try to get used to the the way average americans live every day life. For, instance most Americans eat pork while muslims don’t because its agasnt there religion. And how muslim women wear hijabs because its also in there religion and most American women don't. And after 911 most Americans look at Muslims as terriost and not likeable, which makes it hard for the Islamic people to struggle because they feel unwanted in America. Also Islamic groups struggle a place to worship since there isnt much mosk here in America. The weakness to this story is, Muslims are a victim since there culture isnt the same as a American so it can be very diffcult. Back then in the 1900’s Ellis island and Angel Island were Immgration zones for new people entering the Unites states they usally would check them before they could let them in. The article A Teenage at Ellis Island, refers towards how the transention of a Romanian boy was hard. As the young boy comes to America at the age at 16 years old from Romania came to him as a big culture shock towards him. When he first entered Ellis Island the examiners seperated his brother and treated them both like animals. Because they marked them with markers, and stripped them both to check for dieases. Some immgrants had lice or other dieses so they would be deported back to there countries. After all the boy was scared to death because of his new surroundings he was in, he was new to America and soon culture shocked. ...

...Illegal Immigration COM 220 Illegal Immigration According to Penalver (2006), “ “During the half of The Nineteenth Century the government of the United States hoped to use its vast Western territories to pay the national debt by auctioning the lands to the highest bidders normally Northeastern settlers.” These settlers used to disappear for a while to proclaimed, trespassed the land to farm it illegally and take the soil back once the federal troops were gone until the situation became tiring and the soil was ultimately sold for ridiculous prices. Later, “on December 12, 1815, President James Madison issued a proclamation warning: uninformed or evil disposed persons, who have unlawfully taken possession of or made any settlement on the public lands forthwith to remove the reform" or face ejection by the army and criminal prosecution. But that didn't stop the settlers. In 1838, Henry Clay, expressing a widely shared sentiment, dismissed the squatters as a "lawless rabble." The 1862 Homestead Act granted free title to settlers who met the statute's five-year-residency and improvement requirements. In one of the great ironies of American history, the lawless squatters underwent a dramatic image makeover to become, in the gauzy romanticism of our collective memory, heroic settlers” Illegal immigration is an act that should be penalized by federal laws since every body should follow the standard regulations of the law. The ironic part here is that some of those people...

...When the Great Melting Pot Stopped Melting WGU – LAT1 Donna Vaughn May 17, 2010 In recent years the number of illegal aliens in this country has grown. The social and economic impact of this has given rise to the current debate on what to do. American citizens are demanding their government take action; the problem lies in what action to take. Everything from mass deportation to total amnesty is being argued. While it is not American policy to allow foreigners the status of legal residents or even citizenship when they enter illegally, extremes such as total amnesty or mass deportation may not be the answer either. America is a melting pot in which many cultures have peacefully come to make their lives as American citizens. The issue of illegal aliens has divided this nation which is in need of unity and consistency in law enforcement. Research shows that in order to reduce illegal immigration, the American government must enforce the current laws, secure the American Mexican border, eliminate the magnets that attract illegal aliens (such as: employment, anchor babies, social services) and offer no tolerance for criminal activity. Understanding the Problem Many people enter this country through the American Mexican border and usually can do so unchallenged. By not securing the southern border, America has left an opening that anyone can come through. It is not just illegal aliens that cross that border. America is exposed to entry by terrorists, drug smugglers...
