Immigration Policy: Ineffective?

134 Words1 Page

“It [immigration policy] is inconsistent, ineffective, and does not promote the common good…We recognize that finding solutions to the plight of immigrants today will sometimes necessitate the overcoming of boundaries in the heart, not just on the land.”
The reason why I choose this quote is it directly point out how useless immigration policy is. I agree that the policy is not only ignoring people who are needed but also blocking people away from getting aid or freedom. I also like how it mentions in reality; people need to overcome the boundaries in the heart. Despite the fact that some immigrants successfully move into their ideal countries, they did not receive the equal treatment. Poor indeed need a safety land to live in, but more importantly

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

    742 Words  | 3 Pages

    Humans rarely change their ways; they stay in their own worlds and always interact with the same types of people. Unfortunately, this habit often creates unseen barriers that divide and alienate human beings from one another. In Luis Alberto Urrea’s book The Devil’s Highway, Urrea provides a personal perspective to immigration by telling the story of 26 illegal immigrants, known as the Wellton 26, who are abandoned as they cross the Mexico-U.S. border. Through their story, Urrea proves there are invisible borders among people that create prejudice, such as language, ethnicity, and economic status. By reading The Devil’s Highway, it is clear that these barriers must be broken down to ensure harmony within society.

  • 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

  • The Importance Of Immigration Restriction In The US

    760 Words  | 4 Pages

    The U.S. is currently combatting terrorists who seek to spread their radical beliefs in what is called the “War on Terror”. To help America combat these terrorists, recently elected president Donald Trump has issued a set of immigration restrictions, and while there have been many protest against these restrictions, the thing I find most shocking is the fact that the Japanese American community has not publicly stated their opposition against these restrictions. We, as a community, must realize that there are parallels found from these immigration restrictions to the internment camps the U.S. government forced our grandparents and great- grandparents into. In order to stop America from making the same mistake again, our Japanese American community has to step out of the shadows and show Americans who support these restrictions that this is wrong.
