Summary: The Controversial Issue Of Immigration

Why consider opposing viewpoints? "The only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject, is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion, and studying all modes in which it can be looked at by every character of mind." - John Stuart Mill, British philosopher. The book Immigration Opposing Viewpoints discusses the Historical Debate: should immigration be restricted? Is immigration a problem for the U.S.? How can illegal immigration be controlled? Lastly, how should U.S. immigration policy be reformed? This purpose of the this book is to not change your opinion about immigration but rather inform of others opinions. “ Those who do not know their opponent’s arguments do not completely understand their own” (David L Bender, Publisher) So think of others perspectives, is it a problem for the U.S., can immigration be controlled?, immigration restriction, and how should U.S. immigration policy be reformed?

This paper is a rhetorical analysis on immigration and how it is impacting the GDP of the country. Immigration has always been an issue in the United States for many years and today it is still a major hot topic everywhere you pass. The entire world is discussing the immigration situation in the US presently because of the number of people it is impacting. The President of the US has placed executive orders to ban people from certain countries and many are outraged and disgusted. Information on immigration can be seen in all directions and places such as on social media, newspapers, discussion groups, radios and televisions.

In the present times, illegal immigration has been one significant challenge that America and other countries have been facing. Some critics hold that immigrants have been part of sustaining the economy in America while others hold that America has paid a great price for allowing the immigrants to the country. In such a controversial issue, politicians keep on giving their comments with general perceptions; however, from economists handle this challenge with rational arguments of economics and anticipate the net result. Texas, being the biggest borderline state to Mexico, has been significantly impacted by immigrants. Illegal immigration is explained as the act of moving to another country for the purpose of employment, permanent settlement

Robert W. Merry, a political editor of The American Conservative, wrote the article “A Profound Question Behind the Immigration Debate” as well as other articles relating American History like James Polk and the Mexican War. The author claims that the immigration debate is the main reason why America is changing how it functions in the world. He provides arguments from both sides of the debate: those against and those for the immigration policies. Also, he says “definition of America” to support his claim of how immigration is changing America. The author’s intended audience is the people in America because he targets both views on the issue. He says, “Opponent view the action…” and “Defenders of the Trump action..” to make the people see the

Part 1: Immigration Immigration, the movement of people into another country where they are not native to, and wish live in a different country. Some major reasons why a person would want to or need to immigrate would be economic, political, natural disasters or just the wish to move to a different country. I will be covering how immigration is effecting the United States of America in the working field, living and economic areas. Also looking into how past immigration has affected future immigration events and the common issues that forced immigrants to choose to move to a different country. As the United States of America grew and is viewed as a country of freedom where everyone has an equal chance to start from the bottom with nothing to

Recent events in the past decade has cause many people to portrayed immigrants as terrorists, illegal immigrants, gang affiliated members, drug dealers, etc. This raises questions regarding closing the border or limiting the number of people that can migrate to America. Politicians and law makers are too concerned about this matter and had propose solutions and issue laws in attempt to stop foreigners from coming to America. However, as both sides pushes for their ideas on the issue, it is ultimately up to the younger generation to decide the future of immigrants living in America.

Every day, hour, second of the day, they are hundreds and thousands of illegal immigrants crossing our border from all around the world to the United States. What is Immigration Reform? Immigration Reform is a mislead to our country into censuring young, old, poor immigrant people for the problems that our nation is going through. This country has grown all through the centuries of economic from the labor of all immigrants who have crossed and made it to our country what it is today. People seek to blame the innocent based on skin color, ethnicity, and nationality. In its place of focusing on the agents economic troubles, immigration reform is being used as a nationality for all the corporate layoffs, welfare, and other unsuccessful economic

“Intersectionality and the Foreign-Born: Explaining the Variation in the Immigration Attitudes of Immigrants” by Justin Berg and Shannon Morley utilizes an intersectional approach in attempt to understand and explain how social factors influence individual’s attitudes of immigrants to the United States. The intersectional approach takes care to analyze factors beyond one’s race by including information on gender and education. The study uses data from the 2006 Pew Research Center’s Immigration Survey, including only the national portion of the survey and questions that all respondents are asked. Berg and Morley look specifically at attitudes of those living in metropolitan areas “because the majority of immigrants live in metropolitan areas.” (Berg, Morley 6) They created a scale of eleven questions which

Immigration The international movement of people into a destination country of where they don’t obtain citizenship in or where they’re not native of in order to settle or reside there is known as immigration. In many cases, the newcomers often stay in the country they have migrated to as permanent residents or naturalized citizens, or to take jobs as migrant workers or temporarily as a foreign worker. The laws and regulations of immigration has been a conflict for decades. Immigration laws have resulted in a situation where many illegal “aliens” are either deported or legalized.

While interpreters and translators can work in any field, they frequently come across a sea of doubts when deciding what word to use, therefore, building a glossary on specialized terms can make our jobs more convenient. Even though this is a time-consuming task, at the end this will pay off. As my area of interest is interpreting in immigration settings, I have chosen to build a glossary on immigration based on the book from the series Current Controversies Immigration, by Debra A. Miller, published by Cynthia Sanner.

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 U.S. Senate is struggling to find a viable solution; they can’t seem to come up with a plan on how to deal with immigration that appeases both sides of the political spectrum.

Immigration has long been one of the most heated debates in the U.S. coincidentally, Republicans tend to be harsher and less tolerant in an array of policies, compared to democrats. Ultimately the debate between who gets let in and who gets left out comes down to perspective and political ideals shaped by a coagulation of principles likes nationalism or humanitarianism. Savage, and Agren, and Colarusso give an impressive depiction of the issue of immigration from the inside of government to the outskirts of Central America giving rise to the questions concerning accommodation, money, safety, domestic acceptance, and international responsibility, all culminating to the idea that immigration reform may be a lose-lose game. Savage and Agren readily

Chapter One speaks of the development of our immigration system in the United States of America. Transitionally, it speaks of the effect it had on immigrants that illegally arrived to America for a better chance at life. On November 20th 2014, President Barack Obama announced an administrative action to reform the United States immigration system. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security expanded the DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It provided temporary work permits and deportation relief to many young, undocumented immigrants looking for a chance for a brighter, superior future. Consequently, this created a new program called the DAPA. DAPA, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Permanent Residents, gave approximately

Immigration is the act of coming to live in a foreign country. Immigration has changed in many ways over the past decades. Although it has changed drastically, it still remains the same in some ways. Almost all of the immigrants come here to pursue the “American Dream” and have better lives for them and their families back in their countries of origin. Whenever there is an opportunity to work they don’t think about it twice and go for it.
