On september 7 ,2036, Trump has officially been president, for what it seemed to be the longest six years of my life. He started to deport Mexicans back to Mexico even if they were not immigrants. As time went on I got more scared that Trump would send my family back to mexico. It was the first feeling I had as we watched someone we knew or someone down the street get taken everyday. It started to be a regular thing until I saw the government that I had once trusted beat a man who wouldn 't leave his daughter behind. As rage filled me up I knew I had to do something to help the very people that had taught me my culture, not only was it the right thing it do, but instead it was what I had to do.
It is november 18, 2038 which marks the anniversary of my capture a year earlier. I have been taken from my home without my family for a year and put in a camp in mexico, yet it seems as if everyone around me is apart of me because we share the same culture. In the camps we are not allowed to celebrate anything that Trump says we can 't or we will be killed on the spot. I miss the freedom to be able to attend school, go to a celebration, or even have some traditional mexican food, instead they have been stripping our identities away everyday. I still celebrated some of my cultures events, but I keeped it to myself. Its tough to

It is now April 22, 2039. I have received new that their is a group of mexican soldiers who would attack Trump three weeks from now. I knew what I had to do even if I had to put my life on the line but I will do anything to protect my family and my cultures future. Over the years I have adapted to the environment and camp around me. I even learned the guards routines. As days went by I started to spread the word of how I would lead a great escape from the camp. Two days before the mexican soldiers would attack Trump, I planned my own attack on our camp the very next day. As everyone got ready to rebel in the camp the next day things were looking
May 8th, 1945 - Brent It has been months since I was captured by Nazi general, trying to save a Jewish kid. Gen. Jonathan McCormick has beaten me down to my last straw. My body is weak and I can barely stand up. I barely get food. Each person here at this camp gets one piece of bread per day.
Snyder’s book helps the reader understand that captivity was more than marginalizing the captive or dehumanizing him or her, but it was a fundamental component of identity in the Native
More immigrants are dying of exposure and dehydrations as they attempt to walk across the dangerous desert county. Accurate statistics are impossible because not all bodies are found. Regan interviewed many resident Arizonans with a roughly equal dislike for the illegal immigrants, who trespass on their property, leave litter and trash, and sometimes commit vandalism and theft, and the Border Patrol, which also has little regard for property rights. This includes residents of the Tohono O’odham Nation, whose Indian reservation touches on a big segment of the border. I was very surprised by how many of Regan’s stories were about migrants that were from El Salvador, Guatemala and other central American countries rather than Mexico
If trump gets elected into presidency his primary goal is to deport 11 million immigrant families that live on the U.S. Im not sure if he is talking about non US citizens or families that have expiring visas. He spoke them being forced out of their homes, jobs, and schools by the police at anytime. If he succeeds-which he won’t; there will be billions of dollars gone for his selfish request to supposedly “make America great again” but its people like him that make America what it is today . We as a nation are in debt for billion of dollars as it is , so if he is elected to be president then us as a nation are basically going in a downward spiral because we already owe trillions of dollars.
The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will , in difficult times, shrink from the dedication to their country: but he that stands up to the challenge, deserves the thanks of every man and woman. What we gain too easily, we esteem too lightly ( Document D). I am not the type to leave someone in need. In this case, it is the people of my country who are not free. If I quit now, we are one step further than winning this battle.
It 's been a 5 months since the attack on New York. I barely made it out of there alive. I went into the battle nervous but excited my friends by my side Arnold Pennywise, and George Cream. We were ready to face the battle head on. We did not expect them to be so many.
It took many years before this wall was finally torn down, and people overlooked the differences that I bore. However, not all other minorities are as fortunate as me to have overcome this obstacle. Plenty of minorities will suffer from similar or worse discrimination, and some never have a chance to tear the wall down that impedes them. This gives me a reason to push for change; I don’t want another human being to endure the same hardships (or worse), just because of a difference that they
The year is 1778, the place is Valley Forge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. George Washington and many other revolutionary soldiers are here. I am one of them. Valley Forge is a Winter Camp we have built to keep an eye on the British. Life here is torture.
Ok, so imagine yourself in your home just minding your own business, when, BOOM! The government is at your door with guns pointed at you, the only choice you have now is to obey their orders. Which, are not the easiest to obey. This is because imagined you is an Indian and made the mistake of being in the US during the Trail of Tears. Thanks to Jackson, the beast, you have been evicted from your home and forced to move to Oklahoma.
I am of Hispanic descent, but since I live in the United States, I have lost touch with my Hispanic roots. I don’t know Spanish and I hate spicy food. I might look Hispanic, but I don’t associate with the many stereotypes that come with associating myself as a Hispanic. I remember the first time visited my family in Mexico. I have heard many ugly stereotypes about Hispanics and I was not very excited to go.
An experience that has profoundly influenced my identity as a person is the 100 year anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The phrase “Our Wounds are Still Open” speaks directly to the minds and hearts of all Armenians. In 1915, the Turkish government systematically expelled Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire and massacred 1.5 million Armenians. While I was born in America, my parents taught me about my cultural heritage, history, and language. April 24, 2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
It all began 17 years ago, where shots were fired, people were killed, and families were ruined. I was making my way to my destination, to where it was a duty of mine to fight for our country and earn our freedom. There were hot days and cold nights, long hours of training and short hours of sleep. It was then where I began wearing my boots. It was exactly a month after my 18th birthday that I earned these boots and officially began my journey of fighting for the next six years.
Undocumented immigrants live with fear of deportation every day of their lives. Those with control of state institutions who do not consider undocumented immigrants as worthy American residents in our society, take advantage of their power by instilling fear of deportation. The restrictive federal and state laws towards migration in the U.S. has become a way to keep undocumented immigrants and their families living in the shadows. Arrocha (2013) claims that the paradox of the U.S. migration seems be that our free democratic republicanism is viewed as the land of freedom, equality, and justice. Yet, these undocumented immigrants aren’t treated equally or given the freedom to live in our society without intimidation.
We must give them the benefits to which they were promised – and we promised to protect them and above all, respect them. Anybody who has raised their hand and promised everything including potentially their life to protect are worthy of respect. The writer Michel de Montaigne once said, “Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.” Today, people throughout the country will gather together to remember, to honor, and to pay gratitude to those who
In my paper, I will analyse Donald Trump’s political activities before and after the election to get an objective viewpoint of America’s President. We’ll start off with the history of Trump, both personal and political, to see whether there was some sort of significant development over the years indicating a tendency towards ‘good or evil’. Next, we will take a look at what Donald Trump promised to do – the wall, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare to name a few – and evaluate if he managed to keep his election pledges. This success rate is a major factor in definitively assessing Trump’s influence on America.
