The shooting just last month sparked unease in Kansas and across the globe after witnesses said the accused gunman had told the two victims to “get out of my country” before opening fire (Washington Post). With increased hostility among residents, the United States needs to ensure refuge within their country by helping citizens get a better understanding of the countries’ sound immigration screening process and why immigrants are essential to the wellbeing …show more content…

Even president Trump, an extremely influential figure, has come forward in saying he believes immigrants are taking jobs and money (Times). Many of those in support of Trump agree with his statement and believe lives of the ‘true’ nativists are being squandered. Additionally, there are also some fast held in stereotyping groups of people as ‘terrorists’ and outsiders who do not belong. Anti-minority groups believe the United States should be pure nativists with no diversity one soever. What these individuals fail to take into consideration is not even they themselves are true nativists. America was founded upon immigrants entering a New World so they have no right to try to ban others from entering the country or to commit hate crimes against them. Committing an attack against an innocent based on their culture or skin color is not ethical and the US needs to make sure citizens agree.
While the problems that come along with immigration cannot be solved immediately, a sound solution must be looked upon. The United States must ensure their own citizens are well informed that it’s not acceptable to judge someone based on physical features and immediately coincide their face with a certain life threatening groups like ISIS. By broadcasting more beneficial information than what’s currently top stories on new sites, the US can make certain diversity won’t be looked down upon, but instead will be understood as a benefit to the

  • Discrimination Against Middle Eastern Americans

    1690 Words  | 7 Pages

    We should improve the laws against hate crimes and even create a few new laws that will allow for an increase in the funding of police departments because it will allow the police officers to be trained properly to be able to identify acts of abuse better. In doing so will allow for a safer environment specifically for Middle Eastern Americans. With the proper training, officers can use religion as an aspect of investigation and not identification which is discussed in the paper “Walking While Muslim.” In this paper, Margaret Chon and Donna Arzt describe that one of the struggles of being Middle Eastern is automatically being identified as Muslim, and vice versa, even though that may not be the case. Chon and Arzt helped shape my idea of a solution because they declare in their paper that “religion should be closely examined as an analytic category” (Arzt and Chon, 2005) rather than unsystematic when regarding “the law and policy of counter-terrorism” (Arzt and Chon, 2005) because religion cannot be used as a description for a person since it’s a choice.
