In 2010 a legislative act was issued in the state of Arizona and has received great attention and controversy. The Arizona Senate Bill 1070, Arizona SB 1070, permits police officers to determine the immigration status of whoever they arrest if, they have reasonable suspicion that they are illegal. SB 1070 has stirred controversy between people who are against illegal immigration and others who say this law allows profiling of Hispanics by the police.
As of now, the United States Government’s immigration system is complex. America has a limit of 675,000 permanent immigrants, with exceptions of close family members, under the Immigration and Naturalization Act. Federal law states that aliens over 14 who are in the U.S for more than 30 days are

Hispanics would not be so cautious throughout their daily lives on if they would make it back to their families, or if they would be deported. Instead, they can focus on creating a better future for themselves, and their families. They can look forward to applying for U.S citizenship, or residency. An increase in citizenships would lead to an increase in diversity and equality. Many hispanics fill the low-qualification jobs that many Americans do not want to fill such as: housemaids, construction workers, lawn mowers, etc. If many of those who fill these jobs are illegal and deported, no one would fill them. This would leave a gap, and a need for more workers who might be uninterested and over-qualified for the position. A non-discriminatory environment is a long stretch if America only takes away SB 1070. Taking away discrimination in America starts at the root of the problem, but SB 1070 is a good start. Young adults today are opposed to anything that separates citizens from becoming one. They promote unity and difference in the states, and they will be the future for America. Another positive would be removing the idea that all immigrants are nasty, distasteful and illegal as if America was not founded by …show more content…
The American population would not be accurate. It would be an approximation because no one knows the exact amount of hispanic immigrants in the U.S. Plenty of citizens are frustrated that their tax dollars support people who are not supposed to be in America. Mostly because Americans believe that hispanic illegals are not trying to improve their social status. On the other hand, the mental and physical wellness of legal and illegal families that push to support their illegal family members takes a toll on their health. All in all, illegal hispanic immigrants make that push in the U.S that some Americans would not
It is something that will improve the country socially and economically. It would resolve so many issues regarding immigration reform and about all of the young undocumented alien minors in America. It is something that would motivate them even, because they have been given a second chance, which is great then. It will empower them; it will show them that you should never give up and that America after-all. These alien minors will become better-educated, higher-earning workers and taxpayers.
¨(Mexican immigration history) This positively impacted the Latinx community because, at a certain time, the government had paid the immigrants to work for them and brought them over to the United States. In conclusion, immigration laws can help out the Latinx community by giving them opportunities and helping them grow and have a better life than they had wherever they came
As can be seen, Hispanics dramatically have a big impact on American culture. They are innovating news ways to view different style that show their ancestry. From West Side Story to Selena Quintanilla Latinos keep coming up with more cultural icon. Even though, there are a lot of people trying to create different obstacle for Hispanics to pursue their dreams with their prejudices. They still manage to preserve even with the odds
Since Latino immigrants will constitute an increasingly significant proportion of the workforce, it is important that these individuals have the opportunity to take advantage
I, Jacob Patterson, am choosing to run my gubernatorial campaign on the platform of restricting the amount of foreign legal immigration into the state of Texas. Why restrict the amount of immigration into the Lone Star state? Well if you ask me there are actually three main reasons, those are: jobs, security, and defending america 's culture. Countless legal loopholes currently reside in our country 's legal immigration laws and many states simply don’t abide by the statutes currently implemented in the Immigration Act of 1990. As Texans it 's our duty to protect and secure our border as a part of national security.
This helps many people see that undocumented immigrants do not take any jobs away from anyone , they only take jobs that people do not want and are available . Like graders, sorters, they also work to make agriculture products, tailors , dressmakers, sewers, animal breeders, maids , housekeeping cleaners, taxi drivers and ext ( cis.org). The only reason they take the jobs that are available is because they do not care about what type of work there has to be done. They just work hard to earn money to take care of their family so they at least have a roof to sleep under and to get food on the table. Also undocumented immigrants have also helped the United States by bringing redistribution of wealth to America.
Have you ever wondered how Hispanics have helped our country? Even though there may not be many visible contributions, they have done more than we can imagine. One thing that they did was help us win the US independence as well as Texas. A subsidy that we received from them was a lot of money to refund the American military for the Battle of Yorktown. A third and final helpful hand that they gave us was in World War II.
The United States Census Bureau recently reported that the Hispanic population is becoming the largest ethnic minority in the country. For example, in 1980, Hispanics made up 6.4 % of the total population in the United States (US); and in 2000, the Hispanic population grew to over 12.5 % of the total population in the United States (US). It is projected that European Americans will numerically become a minority in the upcoming years, and that the Hispanic population will constitute 31 percent of the nation 's population by 2060, making the United States (US) the second largest Hispanic population following Mexico (citation A5). States, like California and Texas, can be used as an example for this shift already occurring. It is apparent that
Many of the Hispanics in America don’t have a bachelor’s degree that enables them to work for jobs that allow them to make enough money to provide for their families, today only about 4.2 million of the 55 million Hispanic residents of the United States of America have their bachelor’s degree and only about 16.5% of the total population of Hispanics in America are enrolled in a program to earn their bachelor’s degree. This means that most Hispanic adults are often not getting the jobs they need to obtain enough money to provide the basic necessities their households need to live. This requires them to need to work multiple jobs at many places where they may only make minimum wage daily to obtain the money needed to provide their family with food, shelter, and water. With parents gone all the time this requires the eldest children to watch after their younger siblings because based on the United States Census, Hispanic women tend to have multiple children, and since they have to work most of the day the eldest children are only able to attend school and watch after their siblings, not allowing them to work or attend college for a better future. Also, due to child labor laws created by the U.S. Department of Labor, children aren’t allowed to work jobs until the age of 14, and even then, they are only allowed to work for little money and for a short amount of hours.
Over the years, the United States has accumulated many diverse immigrants (326,474,000 total). The whites still make up the majority of the population, seventy-seven percent. The latino population has increased twenty-one million since 2000 and makeup seventeen percent. African americans make up thirteen percent of the population (Census 7). There is tension between these ethnic groups because of their differences in physical appearances, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.
There is no doubt that now a day the main concern in todays world is discrimination towards the Hispanics. ‘’In a study conducted by Rutgers University, 22% of Hispanic/Latino workers reported experiencing workplace discrimination, compared to only 6% of whites’’. Discrimination towards Hispanic race is a big social injustice that affects the Hispanic because they have hard time getting benefits in a job and lack of knowing English as there Second language. I believe no one should be judged by there appearance but by they’re potential. In other words, its not right for people that come here for better opportunity’s to reach there potential and being denied because there not us citizens.
Immigration has always been a major part of American history. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to the United States in search of a better life. Of the 1.49 million immigrants who traveled to the United States in 2016, 150,400 immigrants were from Mexico. There have also been many people from Mexico who have immigrated illegally to America, with 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016. The large scale of immigration, both legal and illegal, has brought up issues such as national security and the U.S. economy.
The population is growing fast and massive immigration is to blame. Not only is this a problem, but the economy of the United States is hurting too. Many people become unemployed and others are hit hard by paying high tax. The environment is also being harmed, due to the overpopulation factor. Immigration can become a serious problem without stricter laws.
Our policies on illegal immigration can diminish the problem by enforcing immigration laws, revoking birthright autonomy, and demanding proof of citizenship when applying for social services. Immigration has become a major problem in this country and needs to be restricted. Our economic implications would be beneficial towards the U.S. economy. Without the crutch of illegal immigrants holding us back, our U.S. economy can prosper more than ever. Due to the current economic slowdown, labor demands had been reduced and has forced many out of work.
According to the United States Census Bureau, in 1995 about forty million
