Current Controversies Immigration

Migrants undergo the pressure of learning a new way of life and become familiar with the language and laws within the United States. Language barriers are fundamental obstacles for immigrants. They hinder migrants from making vital connections within their communities and even to get around on a daily basis (Garrett, 2006). Daily tasks such as taking a bus or grocery shopping can be overwhelming as they may have to communicate with other people in terms of being aware of their surroundings through conversations, reading signs or even to make purchases. Immigrants reported facing language barriers when they go to the public library, saw a doctor, at their children’s school, and when lost and seeking directions (Garrett, 2006).

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. Families are migrating together and small children are being held in these detention centers.

Immigration has always been a major part of American history. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to the United States in search of a better life. Of the 1.49 million immigrants who traveled to the United States in 2016, 150,400 immigrants were from Mexico. There have also been many people from Mexico who have immigrated illegally to America, with 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016. The large scale of immigration, both legal and illegal, has brought up issues such as national security and the U.S. economy. The U.S. Senate is struggling to find a viable solution; they can’t seem to come up with a plan on how to deal with immigration that appeases both sides of the political spectrum.

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.

Why consider opposing viewpoints? "The only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject, is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion, and studying all modes in which it can be looked at by every character of mind." - John Stuart Mill, British philosopher. The book Immigration Opposing Viewpoints discusses the Historical Debate: should immigration be restricted? Is immigration a problem for the U.S.? How can illegal immigration be controlled? Lastly, how should U.S. immigration policy be reformed? This purpose of the this book is to not change your opinion about immigration but rather inform of others opinions. “ Those who do not know their opponent’s arguments do not completely understand their own” (David L Bender, Publisher) So think of others perspectives, is it a problem for the U.S., can immigration be controlled?, immigration restriction, and how should U.S. immigration policy be reformed?

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. I chose this topic for that

In the present times, illegal immigration has been one significant challenge that America and other countries have been facing. Some critics hold that immigrants have been part of sustaining the economy in America while others hold that America has paid a great price for allowing the immigrants to the country. In such a controversial issue, politicians keep on giving their comments with general perceptions; however, from economists handle this challenge with rational arguments of economics and anticipate the net result. Texas, being the biggest borderline state to Mexico, has been significantly impacted by immigrants. Illegal immigration is explained as the act of moving to another country for the purpose of employment, permanent settlement

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. He says, “Opponent view the action…” and “Defenders of the Trump action..” to make the people see the

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.

Immigration has always been a hot topic during a presidential election year, and this year is no different. Legal immigrants are often celebrated, while unauthorized immigrants are often blamed for many things that are wrong with the country. Still, millions of immigrants from around the world come to the U.S. each year seeking to take advantage of everything this country has to offer.

The United States of America is founded upon an influx of immigrants throughout many decades. They have shaped our country by bringing a variety of skills and knowledge to strengthen our country than it was before. These accomplishments should be honored to the millions of immigrants living in the U.S. However, not all immigrants receive any honor. Instead, they are put in a position where they are handled very harsh. For example, immigrants living on the streets in Los Angeles, California are beaten by the police for loitering on public property. Out of these immigrants, people assume that they are illegal immigrants, in which it may not be true. Several states also have legislation where every immigrant must pull out papers showing their

There is a problem that is very important to me and millions of illegal Immigrants across the country. The issue is the length and the expense it takes for an illegal immigrant to fix their legal statuses. There is a certain type of Visa which is called the U-Visa which is a type of Visa only people who have either been physically or mentally hurt by someone in the United States. This is important because if you detain an immigrant it cost money to keep him/her incarcerated, also if they can work legally then they can pay taxes making more money for the government. There are many families that have been separated because of deportation, in September of 2014 there were 5,100 children in foster care and it is predicted to rise by 15,000 in the

Many scholars have broadly revealed the guises under which U.S. immigration policies have racialized and criminalized immigrants from Mexico and other Latin American countries by engaging them as low-cost employment without offering paths for citizenship (Chock 1996). Immigration Policy does not want the ‘illegals’ to be anything but. Because it

Pochhaker’s book Introducing Interpreting Studies will give me a broad overview of Interpreting Studies. This is a good place to begin my research, providing an outline and a structure for my analysis. Indeed, the book is divided into 3 sections “foundations” which is an overview of the discipline, “selected topics and research” that gives an analytical presentation of important studies in the field and ”directions” which provides advice for beginner reserachers. Pochhaker intended his book to be "a map of the interpreting studies", providing orientation for newcomers to academic research related to interpreting. This book is going to be a solid basis for my research,

For a long time, translation has been a controversial issue on whether it can be an instructional tool in language learning classrooms or not. From the beginning of the twentieth century, there has been several arguments against using translation as a language teaching tool. Translation as a language learning activity was considered as being unsuitable within the context of foreign language learning (Brown, 2002). It was also criticized by Newson (1988), Carreres (2006), Marsh (1987), and Owen (2003). They have presented some disadvantages of using translation as an instructional tool in language classrooms. From an opposite perspective, translation, misconceived and overused, could be seen as a victim of the grammar- translation method (GTM), rather than the source of its evils. The problem was not as such, but a teaching methodology that separated language from its communicative function. (Mogahed, 2011). In fact, translation itself as it takes place in the real life has a direct relationship with communicative purposes. As Duff (1989:6) maintains, "translation happens everywhere, all the time, so why not in the classroom?"
