Current Controversies Immigration

261 Words2 Pages

While interpreters and translators can work in any field, they frequently come across a sea of doubts when deciding what word to use, therefore, building a glossary on specialized terms can make our jobs more convenient. Even though this is a time-consuming task, at the end this will pay off. As my area of interest is interpreting in immigration settings, I have chosen to build a glossary on immigration based on the book from the series Current Controversies Immigration, by Debra A. Miller, published by Cynthia Sanner. Although immigration rates have decreased over the years, there is still a huge communication barrier between LEP (Limited English Proficiency) people and immigration staff, thus demanding the need for interpreters and translators.

  • What Are The Barriers In The Devil's Highway Urrea

    742 Words  | 3 Pages

    Very few, if any, immigrants have the chance to learn English before traveling to the U.S. Because of this barrier, it is nearly impossible for organizations such as the Border Patrol to warn, aid, and communicate with them as they travel to the U.S. Although there are helpful signs along the border, they are written in English and are therefore indecipherable. Furthermore, the language border hinders an immigrant’s ability to survive in American society once they arrive. English is the written and spoken language in almost every city, thwarting immigrants’ opportunity to find jobs and interact with others. As they struggle to communicate, they become ostracized and do not fit in.

  • Arguments Against Immigration Reform

    349 Words  | 2 Pages

    Socially speaking, immigrants may find themselves feeling excluded from a society with organizations and perceptions that generalize them as illegal aliens who disrupt and complicate social institutions, instead of being a contributing part of society. Immigrants may feel constantly fearful of the federal and state governments’ influence on the undocumented community, which leads to how divided politics has been on the issue. Many argue for immigration reform while others have turned down the idea entirely. Much of the stigma on immigrants involves their place of origin or religion being associated with such acts as terrorism, drug smuggling, and general violence. This allows those who are against immigration reform, the ability to argue for

    Regarding to the video, I believe that all three speakers have made good points from their perspective of open boarders for immigration. In the results of the debate it would seem that two of the speakers are sided on pro open boarders for immigration. Hence, the third speaker is against the idea of open boarder for immigration. The third speaker that was oppose to the idea of open boarder for immigration, have even stated out before his speech that this debate was two against one.

    245 Words  | 1 Pages

    Robert W. Merry, a political editor of The American Conservative, wrote the article “A Profound Question Behind the Immigration Debate” as well as other articles relating American History like James Polk and the Mexican War. The author claims that the immigration debate is the main reason why America is changing how it functions in the world. He provides arguments from both sides of the debate: those against and those for the immigration policies. Also, he says “definition of America” to support his claim of how immigration is changing America. The author’s intended audience is the people in America because he targets both views on the issue.

    For this paper, my research 's main focus will be on Immigration Policies, like ICE raids. I will investigate and analyze how ICE raids affected and still affect Latinx/Chicanx communities. On top of the negative impacts it causes, I will be looking into the history of how ICE was formed and how it is an oppressive system that is known to target mainly undocumented Latinxs. Although ICE was “founded” in 2003, I will be including history of alternative methods the country used before ICE was established. The most deportations occurred under Obama 's presidential term and given the new administration, that is upfront and clear about being anti-immigrant and anti-Mexican, communities have no idea what to expect.

  • Hispanic Immigration Issues

    239 Words  | 1 Pages

    The most pressing issues facing Hispanics would have to be deportation of illegal immigrants. Honestly, most of the people that get deported are treated unjustly, because their goal in life was come to the United States and pursue the American dream of living a better life. Just like U.S. Citizens from other races have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, all Hispanics should too. To fix the issue, I would make sure that every Hispanic illegal immigrant in the United States goes through a background check and have their employers write recommendation letters in reference to their work ethics as well as comment of the person’s relationship with his fellow workers.

    Dear Immigration officer (Diversity Section) I am writing your attention today after reading an essay about “What A Big Deal About Immigration”. I did research on your immigration website to find out why illegal immigrants try to enter the U.S. illegally in spite there are diversity visa available. To my surprise I found out the main reason for people from India, China, Pakistan and other parts of Asia even Central America trying to enter the U.S. illegally each year because they are not eligible for diversity visa, which leave them no option to enter the U.S. illegally. Every year 14 million people registered and only 50,000 visa available, 5,000 visas are reserve for emergency.

    The issues that interest me personally/politically are immigration and equality. Through the years, immigration has been an issue that has impacted the United States politically on whether what should be done about illegal immigration. As chapter 1 stated, politics is conflictual and the issue of immigration has lasted for so long not because the government dislike immigrants, if not they cannot come into an agreement that could favor both opposing sides. Moreover, citizens always have their views towards immigrants as people taking away their jobs. What they do not see is that immigrants have improved the country’s economy in a fast way that has open many jobs opportunities to immigrants.

    In Central America there are high levels of violence, particularly, in regard to gangs who are specifically targeting women. Resulting in families fleeing to the United States through the southern border. In an attempt to stop illegal immigration the current administration has been placing migrants, when caught, in detention centers. This is done as a message to others to not come over, and also as a holding place until they can be sent back to their home country. This becomes more controversial because of who is being held in these centers.

    Despite the multiple attempts at creating a well-rounded immigration reform the United States has failed to achieve the full capacity of the reform. The United States first failure at the reform was in 1986 when congress passed the “Immigration Reform and Control Act”. The purpose of this legislation was to amend, revise, and re-assess the status of unauthorized immigrants set forth in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The content of this bill is overwhelming and is divided into many sections such as control of unauthorized immigration, legalization and reform of legal immigration.
