Media Influence On Immigration

In order to score more lucrative deals and attract viewers, news outlets and other forms of media exaggerate and falsify reports of racial profiling, causing the public to get invalid information on the topic. The mainstream media has falsified reports regarding racial profiling for years, causing the public to believe that african-americans and other racial minorities are the main proprietors in drug trafficking and violent crimes. Although the media has instilled the image that racial minorities are the majority of people involved in these types of crimes, these claims are simply not factual and lead to a false perception. News outlets in major cities have been creating inaccurate reports related to crimes and racial minorities in order

People of different races that are coming from different countries are now being viewed negatively by both whites and blacks. Our most recent President Donald J Trump is very disrespectful when it comes to the matter. Calling them illegal immigrants and even now threatening them by building “The Great Wall of America”. It 's not just him though. Lots of born U.S. citizens blame immigrants for stealing their jobs.

The greatest issue that the Red Scare acquired was that while Communism was a real threat, it was so excessively exaggerated that it became self-destructive to America. Todays “scare campaigns” occurring in our political discourse are informing our citizens by fear, rather than knowledge and our media is distorting our perspective on current events and causing us to act

The denotation of this flag in the photo is the fact that the mass shooting happened in the United States. The connotation of this flag however is more complex. It signifies the "American-ness" of this situation. The Las Vegas mass shooting is one of many mass shootings have happened in the United States. The presence of this flag, combined with the title of this article and Lombardo 's somber expression strikes a sense of hopelessness to the viewer in the American government and legal authority because of their apparent and obvious inability to prevent mass attacks like this from happening time and time

Immigrations has always been an important topic but became a big debatable topic today as the present president has made immigration his signature issues, specifically, the undocumented immigrants. Everybody must’ve crossed this question in their mind, who are these people? Other people can easily define them as foreigners that came in the states without the permission of the U.S government. Some may see them as a threat on the society, and they take away the jobs from Americans. But, these 11 million unauthorized immigrants are just like any other immigrant that took the risk to move to a different country with the hope of having a successful life.

Cohen’s fourth thesis talks about the differences among groups of people in areas of race, gender, etc. and how those differences can create monsters in society. Unauthorized immigrants often get placed into a “different” or “unwanted” group and that causes them to face unfairness in society. “How Immigrants Become ‘Other’” correlates to Cohen’s thesis because unauthorized immigrants can be made into monsters due to differences in race and legal status. The group of unauthorized immigrants can become alienated in society, and the people themselves are sometimes referred to as “illegal aliens.”

Racial profiling, using someone’s race to suspect they are ar committing an offensive crime. Modern society has come to where we will judge someone for individual protection . People have a habit of having a negative judgment for “foreigners” that come in . Many illegal immigrants have slipped in the U.S in the past few years. The perception one a group then leads to the deception of any individual in that group .

Politicians and the media give out false information and don't tell you everything instead it is sugar coated and it manipulated by governing powers. Immigrants

Whether by choice, by necessity, or both, they are also Americans." Americans have been constantly fed fear from policymakers and the media. Especially with this current election, we have been told that immigration "present a significant threat to national security and public safety", yet, the census data shows men ages 18-49, immigrants were one-half to one-fifth as likely to be incarcerated as those born in the United States. The media also only portrays the negatives of immigration, instilling fear to the viewer while demoralizing innocent immigrants. If the media portrays the good, showing the humanization of immigrants, viewers wouldn't be as instilled with fear.

Immigration can sometimes be good but also very bad. Today millions of immigrants are getting killed, beat up, or put in jail, for the color of their skin or what country they're from. The worst things you can think about is what’s happening to immigrants. I feel that immigration is bad. I don’t think that people from other countries need to stay in their country.

He has come out with many strongly worded statements about immigrants in this country that many people have taken offense to but, statements many people also agree with. Statements include those like, “the U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.” He added, “They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them.

In the wake of his trip, Selders faced tremendous political repercussions. He was vilified on local talk radio (Riccardi), and received angry emails and “more hate calls than I care to mention” (qtd. in Quintero). Some accused him of wanting to turn Greeley into a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.

When we think of illegal immigrants, usually the first to pop into someone’s mind is Mexicans since the emphasis is always placed on them by news networks compared to our Northern ally, Canada or any other country outside of the U.S’ borders. Along with this problem of illegal immigration being placed onto my people, they to are often associated with criminal activities such as drug trafficking in relation to the drug cartel. This then creates a negative connotation being associated to any person of Mexican descent which can really hurt their perception of society or of themselves. As a child, I would often think I was disgraced with being Mexican due to all these horrible things they are associated with, but as I was growing up I discovered many groups and people that supported the Mexican youth to overcome these challenges such as MEChA and Chicanos Por La Causa. These groups filled me with hope that I could become something that was not connected with such stereotype.

This campaign season has cast a spotlight onto the unfavorable, and sometimes ugly aspect of immigration. While this topic is inherently political in nature, it can be agreed across all sides of the political spectrum that illegal immigration is a major issue and has been handled ineffectively within recent years. As immigration falls within the national sphere of our democracy, this in essence, leads to many inconsistencies between states regarding criminal charges brought against illegal immigrants. Also, by grouping the nation’s immigration policies under federal dictation, this inherently leads to many systematic flaws.

So, for majority of the voters, who do not know the exact number of crimes and harm caused by illegal immigrants in the US, somehow make a connection between the two. As a result, the probability of voters’ to vote for an anti-immigrant party is drastically increased. The more, henceforth, immigration is talked about and the more crime related news keep coming, voters are ikey to vote for anti immigration party. This may explain why Trump is leading in most of the polls, not because voters like
