As spoken by Gilder Lehrman, “Throughout American history, millions of people around the world have left their homelands for a chance to start a new life in this country—and they continue to come here to this day.” What is meant by this is that immigrants have traveled to the U.S to start fresh with a new life throughout the history of the world, and we must continue this tradition. Others might say that we could simply start a new tradition and begin to deport all undocumented immigrants. But this argument is flawed. There are more than 11 million immigrants living in the United States today and to deport them all would not only be extremely difficult, but it would also be destroying the structure of our country. This is the final reason why undocumented immigrants should get a path to
The political aisle as well as economists spectrum exercises insightful particular distinctions of the demographic shifts on opposing perceptions of the caution on border policy undeterred by prejudices or preferences, to demonstrate the relevance cultural diversity.
There are many myths regarding the DREAM Act that there is still a large opposing side to the bill, although the bill itself would be fair response to the injustices done in the American immigration laws. The amnesty program of the DREAM Act is a big one. Many believe that it just forgives illegal behavior continue and let it continue, but as it clearly stated in the bill itself, it is only possible to those who meet the characteristics and its eligibility requirements are the ones who can become eligible for permanent
I am honored and humbled for this great opportunity to address this joint meeting of the Congress of the United States. Honorable Speaker, Vice-President, and members of congress, I am truly privileged to stand here on behalf of my Hispanic, and immigrant brothers and sisters, who stand as an important pillar of this nation’s economy and prosperity. A year ago, I was living in one of the most dangerous countries of the world, devastated by the hands of poverty and delinquency, and torn with the materialized selfish thoughts and avarice of corrupt political leaders. A country where the struggle of survival is an everyday challenge. It was a year ago that I lived in a nation in which opportunities for socioeconomic progress are scarce, and were the idea of safety is forever perpetuated as a
Birthright Citizenship opens a door for Potential Terrorist that can destroy the United States internally. The children of Terrorist are groomed and raised to hate a certain way of life or idea. If these hate groups get a hold of a Unites States Passport they will have access to the country without questions asked. The children of illegal immigrants are automatically a citizen regardless of their parent’s stature. Accompanying, Republican congressmen believe birthright citizenship is the link to terrorism. The groups are sending pregnant operatives to America so the offspring will have access to America. These children will serve as Sleeper Agents (Penalver). A Sleeper Agent is a spy that specifically targets another country and help the operative
Have you an american citizen thought about all the hard work undocumented immigrants have to do just to become an american citizen? Undocumented immigrants are humans just like us they have the right to chase after their dreams so why not let them. About 11million undocumented immigrants are here in the U.S most of them are here to find a good job and give there kids/family the opportunities they deserve to become someone in life. What all Undocumented immigrants want is for their families not to be torn apart, keep the american tradition and help the economy get better.
Do you think that illegal immigrants should have a path to citizenship? I think that they should. They don 't harm the U.S they actually improve it. Nearly 14 million immigrants entered the United States from 2000 to 2010, and over one million persons were naturalized as U.S. citizens in 2008. There were 11.5 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States as of 2011. They come and have american families, they improve the economy, and this country is a country of immigrants so why not let them stay here.
Education is one of the greatest tools for the young mind. Education, especially a college education, can provide a young person with incredible opportunities that can take them far in life. These immigrants feel as Americans and deserve the same education opportunity as any other American. “Undocumented students, they argue, often bring unique viewpoints and backgrounds to campus, excel academically and contribute to the economy after graduating,” (Fattal). These students bring fresh viewpoints into their school environment because of their experiences. As well as many students exceed the exceptions of their schools because they do not want to waste the opportunity that has been given to them. DACA immigrants want to be able to prove themselves as hardworking and what better way them to prove people they can do more. With working hard they show that they want to be treated as an equal. If they are working just as hard as any American why is it so hard to accept them? Why do Americans find it hard to see that they just want the same opportunities? In a survey conducted by the UC San Diego political-science professor Tom Wong for the left-leaning Center for American Progress it showed that “94 percent of respondents currently in school said the program allowed them to pursue ‘educational opportunities that [they]
Mexican immigrants are those who originate from Mexico and are living in the United States, whether they are here as documented citizens or not. There are plenty of immense differences between documented and undocumented Mexican immigrants as well as new sets of struggles for each, though they share many of the same plights. Some immigrants come to the United States for a better life and chance at the “American Dream” while others are brought here as children, some come to be with family, some are here as documented citizens and others are not. There is an estimated number of 6.2 million undocumented immigrants from Mexico residing in the United States (Yee, Davis, and Patel, 2017). Being an undocumented immigrant leads to many struggles, one
“ I speak not of myself but for those without voice.. Those who have fought for their rights.. Their rights to live in peace, their rights to be treated with dignity, their rights to equality of opportunity, their rights to be educated.” ~ Malala Yousafzai. Sometimes people judge others without knowing how they truly are. Just because of their looks, about what they have heard, or because of their race. Someone's race does not define who they are , what they do defines who they are. Many people go with what they have heard about undocumented immigrants but they do not truly know the actual reason why they come to the United States. A lot of people say it is because of drugs, or to take jobs , or to destroy American resources, but they
What is DACA? DACA is a program created by Barak Obama to aid undocumented immigrants, specifically children who were brought in by their parents illegally. How does DACA help immigrants? They are helped by being allowed to work, have a driver license, and potentially own a home. How are these opportunities granted? DACA provides them protection from getting deported and has a 2 year warranty allowing them these opportunities, they can also "extend" their warranty by working and paying taxes to the government. My personal opinion of what is going on currently and DACA is that there are "two sides" to the story. One side claims that the Dreamers ( illegal immigrants ) came to have a better life, hoped to make a difference, and have the power
This program was introduced by President Barack Obama in 2012 and was aimed at protecting people who were brought to the United States under the age of 16 from deportation. The program required applicants to be in or have graduated high school, to have no criminal record, and other requirements. It provided applicants who were eligible with a two-year, renewable permit, and although it granted work authorization, it did not grant legal status. Approximately 800,000 DACA recipients, also referred to as “Dreamers,” are currently being protected by the program. However, on September 5, 2017, the Trump administration announced that it would end DACA, declaring the executive order that created it unconstitutional. President Trump called on Congress to address the issue and replace DACA with a solution that would determine the status of Dreamers. DACA is set to end on March 5, 2018, and after that, the Department of Homeland Security will no longer accept new applicants. Dreamers will also be left vulnerable to deportation, and their work permits will not be able to be renewed. With the March 5th deadline rapidly approaching, Congress has decided to hold a week-long immigration debate starting February 12, 2018, in which the Senate will see if they can pass a bill. The McCain-Coons plan is a proposal that may be discussed at the
Here in the United States of America annually, approximately 65,000 undocumented children complete their secondary education. while most children their ages are applying to college, joining the military, or just perusing a career, these 65,000+ students are not. Despite often excelling academically in K- 12 education, being members of student government associations, and exerting great personal character. Their upward mobility to achieve their dreams often end at graduation. Despite being some of the brightest and most promising students; by not holding U.S. citizenship status these students are unable to apply for college, seek gainful employment, or frankly even acquire a driver license. Often, they are left to live in the shadows or be deported and return to their country of origin of which their parents fled.
One of the greatest controversies in modern day is illegal immigrants. There are an approximate 11.4 undocumented immigrants that live in our country today. Now with your new action in place, I think it’s a good thing. Mainly because it allows lasting illegal immigrants to stay here, it allows jobs to go to documented americans, and gives children hope for a better future ahead.
The program DACA has caused a lot of controversy to why illegal immigrants deserve the rights for these benefits. The United States has always been struggling when it came to immigration laws. The benefit for this program is not only for young kids who will grow and have a career but also to let everyone know that it is okay if you are an illegal immigrant. Here in the United States we have these rights. The freedom to be who we want to be and not be judged for it. Although President Trump ended DACA, I still believe that young immigrants have the ability to make a change in the
