This causes a major conflict between the federal government and local governments. Because the federal government is working to turn the local police force in sanctuary cities into an ICE force (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), illegal immigrants living in sanctuary cities begin to fear they will be deported if they call the police for any reason. This is another reason some Americans may think crime runs rampid where illegal immigrants are- but the reason an illegal immigrant may not call the police when they see a crime being committed is because they fear that the police that show up may actually be ICE officers. This causes legal and social complications for illegal immigrants and American citizens living around them.
This essay discusses black people in the 1900s and their thoughts on The Great Migration. Slaves had just been emancipated, however 64 years later the struggle for survival didn’t get any easier for them. Blacks in the south was drowning, and barely maintaining. Blacks in the north however, were doing more decent then people in the south. It was easier for northerner to get a job and afford education, southerners on the other hand could not, and in fact they work more in fight to live than survive.
Money could be the most important thing that makes a nation really powerful and the US is an excellent example of how important is to have a good economy. Like Americans and other legal people, undocumented people help to hold and increase the U.S. economy in a positive way. [4] Cesar Maximiliano Estrada, Senior Managing Director and Head of Private Equity, in his article “How Immigrants Positively Affect the Business Community and the U.S. Economy” explains that immigrants have always been vital to the U.S. economy. In 2013, for example, immigrants added $1.6 trillion to total U.S. gross domestic product, or GDP. Economists have found that immigrants complement native-born workers and increase the standard of living for all Americans.
The immigration from Latin America and the attendant growth of the nations Hispanic population are two of the most important and controversial development in the recent history of the United States. Latinos are destined to continue to exert enormous impact on social, cultural, political, and economic life of the U.S. there are many different pull and push factors that push migrants away from Mexico and pull them into the United States. The first significant influx of Latino immigrants to the U.S. occurred during the California gold rush, or just most of modern boundary between the U.S. and Mexico.

The Great Migration What I Already Knew and What I Wanted to Know I selected The Great Migration because I already knew some of the information about it, and I was interested in learning more about it and discovering the reasons behind it. I knew that it was a migration of the African Americans from the South to the North, and that they traveled because of unfair treatment and to try to obtain more rights that they didn’t originally have in the South. This topic interested me because I had some recollection of what had happened during the time period of the Great Migration from learning about it in the past and I wanted to learn more about what had happened during it. I was wondering what the economic and cultural effects of The Great Migration
In the actuality there are two types of immigrants. There are the “Aliens” which is an extremely discriminatory term; these immigrants from Europe and several countries overseas that come to the United States with a Visa and they remain in the country illegally after their visa expired. On the other hand, there are the ones who cross the borders illegally; these immigrants are called “Undocumented” because there is no record of them. It is basically as if they did not exist. Homeland Security has no idea that they are in the country.
If the undocumented immigrants feel safe to cooperate with the police, it is statistically proven that the crime rates are considerably lower and therefore the city is safer. “Murder rates in San Francisco, one of the oldest sanctuary cities, were at their lowest in 2014 (with 45 murders) since the 1989 "City of Refuge” ordinance was enacted. San Francisco’s murder rate is lower than comparable non-sanctuary cities, with 5.75 murders per 100,000 residents in 2013 compared to 11.39 in Dallas and 15.17 in Indianapolis. ”(npr.org). Sanctuary cities are technically legal due to the 10th amendment
One of the reasons there is so much immigrant population in this country is because of the economy. In the past, immigration was helpful to the economy when people encouraged it so that the it could become prosperous and bring in diversity and help needed. Today, many people are afraid of losing their jobs. Immigration is currently flooding the labor market, primarily in the low-skill, low-wage sectors, and driving down wages and working conditions for many Americans because our immigration policies do not take economic conditions into account. Illegal immigration probably has its greatest impact on the United States’
Our policies on illegal immigration can diminish the problem by enforcing immigration laws, revoking birthright autonomy, and demanding proof of citizenship when applying for social services. Immigration has become a major problem in this country and needs to be restricted. Our economic implications would be beneficial towards the U.S. economy. Without the crutch of illegal immigrants holding us back, our U.S. economy can prosper more than ever. Due to the current economic slowdown, labor demands had been reduced and has forced many out of work.
The United States of America, being a country founded by immigrants, is known all over the world as the land of great opportunities. People from all walks of life travelled across the globe, taking a chance to find a better life for them and their family. Over the years, the population of immigrants has grown immensely, resulting in the currently controversial issue of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are the people who have overstayed the time granted on their US, visa or those who have broken the federal law by crossing the border illegally. Matt O’Brien stated in his article “The government thinks that 10.8 million illegal immigrants lived in the country in January 2009, down from a peak of nearly 12 million in 2007.”(Para, 2) While some argue that illegal immigrants burden the United States of America and its economy, others believe that they have become essential and are an important part of the US, economy.
Consistently, a huge number of outsiders, lawful and illicit, from far and wide, go to the United States. These outsiders come in light of the fact that they need a chance at a finer life; others are exiles, getting away mistreatment and common wars in their nation of origin. Numerous individuals accept the United States is the best place to go. There is more flexibility, assurance, and profits, which would appear to be a decent arrangement to outsiders. Yet the extensive number of migration is influencing the current nationals of the United States.

Another approach to define the term diaspora and express its characteristics is social condition. In this approach, the exact definition of identity is rejected. In diasporic condition they look at identity as postmodernism, cultural studies and post-colonial approaches. In this fields it has been believed that identity has an unfinished nature and its changing through time and social conditions. It could be said that diaspora could not be conceptualized based on ethnicity and geographical dislocation.
Critical analysis of push and pull factors of migration and with Also gendered migration Throughout human history migration has been part of human life. People have migrated between and within countries. With a compression of space and time by the process of globalization migration has escalated. The inequality and uneven economic development between and within countries has forced people from developing countries to developed countries and also from rural to urban areas. Lee (1966) introduced the concepts of push and pull factors as the determinants of migration.
Neoclassical Theory of Migration One of the oldest and most commonly used theory used to explain migration is the Neoclassical theory of Migration. Neoclassical Theory (Sjaastad 1962; Todaro 1969) proposes that international migration is connected to the global supply and demand for labor. Nations with scarce labor supply and high demand will have high wages that attract immigrants from nations with a surplus of labor. The main assumption of neoclassical theory of migration is led by the push factors which cause person to leave and the pull forces which draw them to come to that nation. The Neoclassical theory states that the major cause of migration is different pay and access to jobs even though it looks at other factors contributing to the departure, the essential position is taken by individual higher wages benefit element.
