You may be able to see parallels from then to today in other countries but I fail to see how people sneaking into our country illegally and getting a job from a business in this country illegally has anything to do with slavery or labor laws. I would agree with you if we were rounding up immigrants and bringing them into our country and forcing them to work for cheap labor. That is not the case, immigrants are risking their lives and their families lives to come into The United States of America to escape the hell that they were living in and work for more money than they have ever made in their entire lives. I don't agree with companies hiring anyone that is in this country illegally and think the punishment for doing so should be

    Slavery in the United States was the main form of labor in the late 1700’s. While being thought of as a normal way of life, many whites took in colored people as slaves for field work, house work, and much more.

The increase in the black population, the facts and rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence, and the harsh mistreatment of slaves were all factors in the continuous growth of the idea of abolition until eventual reconstruction after the Civil War in 1867.

  • Pros And Cons Of Immigration Conundrum

    151 Words  | 1 Pages

    Immigration conundrum will never be felt as acutely by second generation immigrants because things change and people forget about the right way it is awfully to think roots can and should be so easily discarded. I prefer Jhumpa Lahiri's narrative voice over Smith’s no inflection of moral no pronouncing of judgement on flawed choices but a restrained attempt at humanizing all characters. I feel this is something that happened to most people because some people have like family things they do and as people get older and others don’t do what has always been done or the new person that takes over forget it or does do it right. Also with religion people have a different outlook than someone else and each people will take it different and to me

    In terms of postsecondary education, African immigrants have been given priority over other black Americans for affirmative action in higher rank institutions, leading to the creation of the idea of them as a new model minority. They have been cited as the racial group with the highest percentage of university and advanced degrees at 48.9% in 2010 and 8.2% in 2014 respectively (Ukpokodu 70). There are many problems with the seeming prioritization of accepting more African immigrants into universities. Not only the fact that less native-born black Americans are not getting spots in these institutions therefore dividing African immigrants and native-born African Americans even more, but also that this puts pressure and intense expectations on

  • Pros And Cons Of Border Security

    347 Words  | 2 Pages

    How do you feel about about adding more border security? Border security is a way of having more protection so people don 't come into a country where they are not from without having thier document or having permission to come into another country. I say there is no need of that because no matter how much security they have people are going to come into the country that they don 't belong in and also because there they are full of ideas to come in the country. I think there is no need of more border security because there will always be a way into the country. For an example people that are trying to cross the border, meet up with other people and pay them and they help them cross without the immigration people knowing.
