233 Words1 Page

These issues must be handled quickly and properly. A possible solution explored in children in the aftermath of immigration enforcement is that the present immigration laws be reformed to benefit and meet the needs of children, especially U.S. citizen children, during deportation proceedings. Children who are under the legal age U.S. citizens should be allowed to petition for their parents to become legal permanent residents. In recent years there has been stricter implementation of law enforcement. Due to cause and effects this has resulted in the unnecessary separation of families. In effort to reduce the effect “DHS has introduced administrative reforms”. This reform aims to increases the possibility for family reunification. The purposed

    Apart from the TVPRA, a longstanding court injunction in Perez-Funez v. District Director, 619 F. Supp. 656 (C.D. Cal. 1985), grants another layer of protection to unaccompanied immigrant children. The Perez-Funez litigation alleged that then-INS had a policy and practice of coercing children into accepting voluntary departure from the United States, thereby waiving their rights to a hearing and an opportunity to apply for relief. After trial, the court held that the government’s existing voluntary departure procedures violated the children’s due process rights, and interposed critical safeguards designed to minimize the risk of coercion.

    I have not thought about how many children are here now, smuggled into the United States at young ages, who struggle with the insecurities of belonging somewhere. The fear associated with being deported or their undocumented family members being deported is real and heart wrenching. In my ignorance, I did not know about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that President Obama launched during his administration. This program brought much security and relief to many young people to openly get jobs and a driver’s license for eligible undocumented immigrants under 31 years old.

    S. 744: The Immigration Reform Act The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Reform Act -- or Senate Bill 744 -- was introduced into the United States Senate in April 2013 and since then, it has been a highly important significant bill for both immigrants and nonimmigrants alike. In June, it was passed and it then went on to the House of Representatives. Currently, no formal decision has been made on it, even though millions of undocumented and potential immigrants are waiting for its approval. If the act was passed, border security around the US would become tighter, but all the illegal immigrants currently in the country would have a chance at citizenship. While it would take over a decade after the bill is passed for them

    Immigration reform is one of the most contentious issues in America today, provoking angry debates in Congress, fueling tension in town hall meetings across the country, and even dividing families. In 2007, as the battle over immigration reform played out in Congress, Tom Selders, the Republican mayor of Greeley, Colorado, put a local face on the issue. Selders spoke out on Capitol Hill about the devastating effect of an immigration raid at a Greeley meatpacking plant and urged Congress to enact comprehensive immigration reform. As a result, he faced a backlash of criticism at home. Selders knew his public stance on immigration was politically risky, particularly since he was seeking reelection in the upcoming mayoral race.

  • Child Immigration Argumentative Analysis

    1155 Words  | 5 Pages

    Another argument of anti-immigration groups is that the U.S. population is growing out of control due to immigration. According to the Census Bureau, the United States is growing at less than 1% a year, and this growth is fueled by newborn babies, not immigrants (Balkin 98). Population control is a poor argument for opposing immigration. Regardless of the modest amount of new immigrants as a whole, the number of immigrant children in the child welfare system has more than doubled in the past fifteen years. According to a 2014 Citizenship and Immigration Ombudsman’s report, oftentimes child immigration cases are judged without consideration of their parents, and children are treated as functional adults who must find their own legal representation and participate in interviews that use questionable interrogation tactics (Padilla-Rodriguez).

    The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act is a legislation that was created to help young immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, grew up here, and stayed out of trouble, to qualify for legal residential status. This act is only for undocumented children who came here, not for individuals who came here as adults. There are many positive reasons that the DREAM Act would be helpful for immigrants that wish to develop an adult life here in America and should be passed as soon as possible. Although most of the immigrants that were brought here as children had no control over the fact that they were moving to the United States, they still went to public school to receive an education and graduated from high school.
