Legality And The Perpetual Border Battle Analysis

While, at times, detention of immigrants may be justified, the seeming inability to challenge being detained and the variation in decisions according to where you are detained is troubling (End Immigration Detention Network, 2014, p.4). However, I am somewhat sceptical of the exact degree of and reason for the variation that they assert. While, certainly, variations in decision making may be due to personal biases of those reviewing a case, there may be substantial differences between the types of people detained across the country and the reasons for their detention. As such, I think more information is necessary before detention review can completely be regarded as “at the whims of an appointed board member” (End Immigration Detention Network, 2014,

Unlike Marx who views Multiculturalism from the theory heading downwards Dalrymple views multiculturalism from the ground going up. His day to day experiences prove that "not all cultural values are compatible or can be reconciled by the enunciation of platitudes." This means that although multiculturalists support the idea that people should embrace different cultures, there are many challenges that make implementation difficult. Dalrymple argues that the idea that we can co-exist in a society whereby the law doesn't favor one culture at the expense of another one is a lie. In short, the author's main argument is that some cultural values will always be superior to others in every society and the idea that all cultural values can be compatible with every ethnic group makes no

In Kwame Anthony Appiah’s essay, the Case for Contamination, Appiah delivers his opinion on society’s growing culture and the effects that have occurred due to society’s growing influence, such influences include the globalization, both political and lifestyle, and cultural preservation aspects of society. Within his standpoint, Appiah offers many valid points on the positive aspects on the development of globalizations and its key role in society. However, despite Appiah’s lengthy essay, his argument lacks sources that support his claims, ultimately causing his views on the subject to stem from personally experiences. Due to this, the essay insufficiently discusses the depth of how damaging globalization is to a cultural, which essentially

Firstly, when Will said ‘To end the practice of “birthright citizenship,” all that is required is to correct the misinterpretation of that amendment first sentence’ (601). How could anybody say it was a misinterpretation on something that someone else wrote? We as a nation should look at immigrants not as a threat, but for an opportunity for a friendship. Some people might not have been able to go anywhere, so they came to America to feel relived from the stress that was put a pond them. Thus, many might not like people coming over to the “land of the free”, but what

Immigration is a controversial issue, as it is meticulously associated with such topics as economic well-being, international competitiveness, homeland security, and as well as human tolerance. An immigration policy is a policy that a state deals with the travel of people across its borders into the country, but particularly those that aim to work and stay in the country. Immigration policies can range from permitting no migration at all to permitting most types of migration, such as free immigration. “Many politicians and workers argue that immigrants-legal and illegal-undercut wages and take jobs from native-born workers” (Immigrants and the Economy, 169). Frequently, religious and racial bias is tied to immigration policy, The Immigration

The first paragraph explains America 's motives describes them as explorers and conquerors, this of course differs from Rushdie’s cultural values of migration and bettering ones life instead of ones nationalistic expectations (35-40). Sander’s on the other hand shows distaste with this ideology as he says it brings harsh effects as a result of bringing visions and values along with migrants as they travel (44-52). Migration values clashed due to the fact that from Sanders perspective, migrants try and bring outside influences in, whilst Rushdie’s idea of migrants focuses more on what migrants can bring to America as a country of explorers and

Immigration is one of the most important chapters in our country 's history. With the perks of immigration, there are also downfalls such as problems with cultural differences and language barriers which have not been easily resolved and often lead to hostility among natives. Federal laws have resulted in mass immigration of both documented and undocumented aliens. There is nothing wrong with documented immigration in moderation. However, undocumented immigration must be contained before there are serious consequences.

One of the biggest hot button issues today is very global is the issue of immigration and refugees. On one side of the issue, it is thought that accepting immigrants from usually rough backgrounds is the right thing to do and we are obligated as humans to accept them to our country. On the other side, it is thought that nothing good can come from it whether it would be drugs, violence, or gang ties from Mexico and South America or Islamic extremists from places in the Middle East, especially Syria. In a world that is so focused on social issues but also very mindful of terrorist groups and attacks, it makes for a very interesting debate to think about because it is a very slippery slope. It is best to help out people struggling but there is

As nation-state being threatened by the neoliberal globalization and ethno-religious national sentiments, it seems diversity and tension within America are strengthened, with the fear of immigrants being very obvious. Symbolic differentiation among Americans became salient as the tension between and separation among Americans became more common. Yet this is not enough to dismiss civil religion, however, civil religion was heavily contested, losing the legitimacy and a charismatic nation-state. Although we still see the aspect of unity within the expression of civil religion, what is being stressed here is the tribalistic civil religion, the identity that “often valorize some elements of the nation-state while challenging others.” (934) The notion of nation is transcendent is still visible, holding officials accountable to act in ways that best align with the transcendent is still a common practice of citizenship. We might have different standards and conceptualization of the civil theology, the core

It may seem like the arguments we have just explored would become invalid too, because cultural changes may not be quantifiable by any known method; we could respond by acknowledging that whilst cultural or domestic changes are not empirically quantifiable, they are definitely measurable. We know to what extent tourism affected the Francoist Regime by the leaflets and posters promoting the ‘War Route of the North’ found in countries around the world . Therefore, Gregor’s point about the usefulness of the 6 points themselves gives us a wider understanding of the core concepts of totalitarianism, and how to properly define
