With some Americans refusing to stay open minded to the beliefs of the opposite political party, our country will get nowhere. As one of our country’s Founding Fathers, Washington would not approve of this, and demand the next president change this. If George Washington was still alive today, he would be able to give the next president advice to transform our country. Someone with the unbiased mindset toward the two main political parties would be a much needed perspective for the next president.
Envisioning the future of America, a land appears, one that is free from the problems that have plagued it, while staying true to the original intentions of the people who created our government. To be able to rid the nation’s people from threats of war, terrorism, and even the fear of excessive tyranny by our government, this is the dream of a perfect future. At what cost would this come should we sacrifice the sanctity of our government to achieve it? The U.S. Constitution, the backbone of our government, with a the exception of a few changes, it has lasted more than 200 years, longer than that of any other Constitution.
We may be “one nation, under God” but, in my opinion, we will always be in an overstuffed pot that will never fully melt. Although the founding father’s opinion of America in Rights of Man is correct on the underlying facts of our country coming together as one nation, his characterization of America somewhat holds true today in modern society based on our current politics and social ideals. First, there is little doubt that the United States of America is an immigrant society. All of our ancestors were immigrants. Foreigners come to the United States in hope of a more sophisticated lifestyle for themselves and their family.
Even though he was born and raised in America, Thomas Jefferson consistently supported immigrants' rights to relocate to nations where they felt they would have the lives they wanted. He wrote numerous letters to immigrants and other politicians on the topic, maintaining that it was a right that could not be revoked. In a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin, in 1806 Thomas Jefferson stated: I hold the right of expatriation to be inherent in every man by the laws of nature, and incapable of being rightfully taken from him even by the united will of every other person in the nation. If the laws have provided no particular mode by which the right of expatriation may be exercised, the individual may do it by any effectual and unequivocal act or declaration.
One important cause that i will mention is the idea of Manifest destiny. This idea was thought out by Americans and is basically about how America’s government felt that they had the god given right to take land from other empires and expand to those areas. This idea and the amount of opportunity had a great impact on the US expansion and how it came to be. These documents are similar because they both prove my claim on reasoning for the US expansion. They are also similar to each other because they both explain in some way how America’s actions affected the country and other parts of the world.
The democratic and republican party need to work together, go “across the aisle” and become a more unified as they work for all Americans. The recent presidential election proves that words and messages influence people. Just like in the movie “Freedom Writers” words of positivity, courage and change can have a great impact on
Immigration reform should mean something else entirely. It should mean improvements to our laws and policies to make life better for American citizens. Thank you. But if we 're going to make our immigration system work, then we have to be prepared to talk honestly and without fear about these important and very sensitive issues. For instance, we have to listen to the concerns that working people, our forgotten working people, have over the record pace of immigration and it 's impact on their jobs, wages, housing, schools, tax bills and general living conditions.
Dreamers had no choice when they were brought to the U.S. as children; they don’t deserve to be deported. Nevertheless, it is up to Congress to protect Dreamers, and whether or not they will be able to pass a bill is
As a Latina daughter of two immigrants I have some of the ideas of what is “The American Dream”. My parents came here because they wanted to achieve it themselves. In some kind of way, they think they did. There are many factors for why people still believe in the American dream “The American emphasis on individualism is not a historical accident but firmly rooted in the religious, political, economic and culturally experience of America as a nation of Immigrants” this sentence made me think before reading that it is true how we are ruled and controlled by that not just here in the United States of America but almost everywhere we go. How the American Dream is linked to different aspects of our society and how we are fooled to believe it does exist.
Assimilation is bad because you are losing your own culture which has been passed on from generation to generation through centuries. Cultures is what makes the world diverse and if everyone assimilates, we will lose many cultures. This leads me to my statement about why acculturating is better than assimilating. Acculturating isn’t always the best option if you want to make friends in a new country but I believe it is the right option.
This research explores general sentiment toward immigrant communities, opinions on the impact that immigrants have on American culture and public support for specific policy approaches to immigration reform. The report also supports the immigration policy among religious groups and the political implications of the issue for and within both the Democratic and Republican parties. According to the research they conclude: More than 63% of Americans agree that the immigration system should let the immigrants who are currently living in the U.S. illegally become citizens, provided they meet certain requirements. While less than 14% think they should be permitted to become permanent legal residents but not citizens, and 21% that they should be identified
If the Hawaiians vote for sovereignty and a governing entity, then all of that could be fixed because the Hawaiians would have a dual-citizenship and get the benefits of both the Hawaiian and the American citizenships. The new Hawaiian government would have come up with welfare programs to help out the poor. The Hawaiians would also be able to enjoy a self-sustained government that only native Hawaiians could vote and run for. This means that only Native Hawaiians would be making the laws for Native Hawaiians instead of other people. There is another group of Hawaiians that want to completely leave the United States.
The fact of the matter is if you ask people what their responsibilities as Americans are, you 'll usually get blank face and maybe a poorly thought out statement about jury duty or paying taxes. When I go about my responsibilities as an american my opinion may be a bit bias but the freedoms and rights we enjoy in this country are incomparable to any other nation. For this reason there are certain responsibilities that to any american should be easy to fulfil. We should make our own way to success. No one else owes you anything, not the government and not other taxpayers.
My Thoughts on the Issue of Unauthorized Immigration and Border Control in the United States Immigration is the movement of people into a country in which they are not natives or citizens with the intention to settle in the country, especially as permanent residents or future citizens. Therefore, unauthorized immigrants are people who are referred to as undocumented immigrants, people who have no prior invitation or official documentation before entering the country. This above stated definitions of this salient words involved in this write up, will serve as personal balance on this issue. If government is a system by which a state or community is controlled, then my ideology on this issue is being influenced by the course of study which is government. As we all know that America is called the land of the free and home of the brave.
In recent years, Immigration has become one of a plethora of hot topics during political races. Politicians, like many Americans, see our great nation as a prize only of the deserving. The United States symbolize the land of the free. Even before the signing of the Declaration of Independent in 1776, immigrants flocked to the United States of America in search of their three fundamental rights endowed in the Preamble – “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Everyone, including people who immigrated to the United States illegally, should have an equal opportunity to attain these inalienable rights.
