Immigrant Situation Analysis

The treatment of immigrants was very hostile. In America there were immigrants who were German Americans, Italian Americans and Japanese Americans whom U.S. official considered dangerous, hostile, and enemies. Many living in the United States were second and older generation Germans, Italians and so forth. Those who fought in World War 2 were seen as friendly. But part of those who stayed home were seen to a degree suspicious. As a result in the early nineteen forties, camps were established for “citizens” who came from hostile or enemy countries that the United States was at war with. Thousands of Germans, Italians, and Japanese people suffered from this U.S. ordered policy of discrimination to keep them in check. So one could say that there

The article, “Immigrant America: A Portrait” written by Alejandro Portes and Ruben G. Rumbaut, discusses the many trials and tribulations immigrants have faced throughout the history of America, dating back to the Great European Wave In the 19th and 20th century. The Great European Wave, was the time in which 23 million European immigrants migrated to the U.S. mainly due to agricultural and industrial changes in their native countries that forced them out of their homes and in search of work.

As can be seen in documents A-H, from 1880 to 1925, immigration went from being the staple of the American culture to the common enemy of “native” Americans.

Throughout time diverse regions have considered other societies to be barbaric, causing them to have the desire of “civilizing” them. Likewise, During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the American nativist groups, possessed a similar perspective towards immigration. Nativist’s opposed immigration, as they believed that it would negatively impact the United States socially, morally, politically, and economically. Socially and morally, the nativists feared that foreigners were a threat to the American society, as they were culturally inferior, possessed many ailments, and committed crimes. Politically, the ethnocentric nativists believed that immigrants would corrupt the government and negatively influence American politics.

If I told you that to go on vacation you would have to try multi-able times and risk death to go on your vacation, but what if that vacation gave you a new beginning a new reason to work hard a reason to wake up in the morning would you still go. That's the question these immigrants these outsiders this is what they have to go through to come to our country, but yet we still don't want them to come to our country. These people are just like us human beings with the same body parts and interests, but yet we treat them like they are not excepted here that they are outcasts. We are all immigrants to the world to the United States and if we are welcomed why aren't they. They have to go through this struggle of life or death just to come here you

Is the stereotype that people have of immigrants and their effects on the United States social, economy, and antebellum America based on truth or just a stigma?

With the soring real estate prices, any immigrant needs money to purchase a home. An immigrant can still survive in Vancouver without large capital, but the city becomes a hostile place for them to live. Immigrants like the “Mystery Migrant” would struggle to meet their daily living expenses. Likewise gaining money is also hard in Vancouver because any immigrant would also need to meet certain requirements to get a job, such as education, references and/or background in some occupation. Therefore only immigrants that are wealthy or have good jobs are welcome in Vancouver. Otherwise it is difficult to afford to live in Vancouver.

Despite God's vision for the issue of immigration, often times we found our world living a different reality. A good example of a current area facing immigration directly is the Los Angeles County, a prominent area in the United States known to account for the most people of any one county. Out of the 10 million people that reside in the Los Angeles County, only 3.5 million individuals comprise the overall immigrant community. This fact alone help us to recognize that Los Angeles immigration is a crucial aspect of the county's cultural identity, especially in the local politics of the area ("Los Angeles-University of South California's Dornsife College" 1). Using this knowledge of the large immigrant population, statistics show that the large

Many white Americans do not believe that legalization should happen to undocumented immigrants because they assume that immigrants committed a crime before entering the United States illegally. They also believe that immigrants are stealing their jobs. In the article “American Without Migrants” by DW Gibson, he mentions that “before, I speak no English, I have no license, and I find work. How do these people speak English, have a license, and they don’t have work? I don’t get that” (qtd in Gibson 24). Unauthorized immigrants are not stealing Americans jobs, the jobs are there, but no one wants to work hard labor for the minimum wage. Jaarda states that “if enacted, illegal aliens would be allowed to keep these jobs instead of making them available

On page 40 is an image by Dorothea Lange called, “Migrant Mother”, taken by Dorothea Lange. This image is a black and white photograph of an immigrant mother in Nipomo, CA. Two of her children cling onto her as she looks away from her children. The image is meant to be a reference to the Madonna and child paintings. However, considering the content of the image, the Madonna and child reference is not very explicit. Instead, it serves as the opposite to those paintings. For one, the paintings of the Madonna and child are meant to serve as an example of cultural values and the roles specific towards women. Religion is another thing that comes to mind when looking at the paintings. The Madonna and child images are meant to convey the idea that

One thing I learned about the Migrant Family is that in paragraph 3, It says that "the primary subject of Migrant Mother,from this perspective,is photography itself" and I chose to right this sentence because I found it important in the text and that is one thing I know about the Migrant Family.

The UK immigration laws are clear and require prior information and seek approval for convicted felons outside UK. All the appeals for entry clearance and those asking for permanent stay are invariably checked for UK criminal convictions. The usual pattern shows a refusal on entry to the UK for felony convictions which warrant a minimum of 12 month imprisonment. Also an application can be rejected if it poses a threat to national security on the basis of his prior conduct, his doubtful associations or his character. For such assessments, the noteworthy point is that the officials cross check with the local intelligence but they do not or cannot access any criminal records from foreign governments.

Should people be allowed to immigrate? This multifaceted question exemplifies the contemporary news cycle. Hence, it raises the question regarding the rise of such highly debated and opposing views on such a matter. The theories of Karl Marx and subsequently, Frantz Fanon can be applied to such a perplexing phenomena to gain a more comprehensive understanding. It is empirically provable that people have migrated for thousands of years, however the matter has become immensely contested in the contemporary political and social sphere. Political happening such as Brexit and the immigration ban imposed on religious and ethnic minorities in the United States undoubtedly exemplify the political climate regarding immigrants and immigration. The climate

The Bible makes many references to people living away from their homeland and has a lot to say about caring for foreigners or refugees. In fact, the Scriptures speak of displaced people in both covenants, the Old and the New Testament. Thus, throughout the biblical narrative, a phenomenon has always been in evidence: people in movement, crossing territories and interacting with people from other cultural environments. In the midst of this very context, God reveals His heart for the stranger.
