Nothing is perfect. Neither are the laws created. Like all things in life have a pro and con; so do the laws. What bothers me is not the law per se, but the fact, that illegal immigrants don't pay have to taxes because they came here illegal for whatever led to the circumstance. On the contrary, when an immigrant who has arrived here and works here and pays all their taxes, but their children who are also an immigrant do not have the benefits that may be an illegal immigrant who has a child born in the US. What bothers me isn't the fact that they get benefits like ebt cards so or any of that. Moreover what I cannot seem to wrap my head around is why the immigrants’ children who aren't citizens can’t get those benefits like getting scholarships
If you were an undocumented immigrant being pressured, hated, and discriminated against, how would you feel? Over “10 to 12 million undocumented immigrants are here in the U.S(),” and this is a major controversial topic in our society right now and for years everyone has had a different opinion on what should be done about undocumented immigrants. As for me I am for the U.S. government allowing undocumented immigrants to become U.S. citizens. Though undocumented immigrants are not supposed to be here most immigrants are law abiding, pay taxes and here to live the American dream.
Thank you for your thoughtful post. In other words, you are asking how can the United States justify not providing affordable health insurance for people residing and working in country? Baiden (2010) offerings two important points, “Most, if not all of these undocumented immigrants work hard and contribute to the country's economic growth” furthermore, “The problem is that such individuals suffer high degree of exploitation at the hands of their employers” (p. 5). Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for government insurance programs, are unlikely to have employer provided insurance, and often do not have the resources to purchase private insurance. Furthermore, research has identified vulnerable populations such as low income, uninsured
Undocumented families face immense pressure getting accustomed to the new land. Many parents want to adhere to their traditional way of life, but due to the new atmosphere, they are forced to assimilate into the American culture with the hopes of becoming socially accepted. The striving force behind the American dream, as mentioned earlier, is to achieve a better life. To accomplish this, undocumented immigrants must be able attain a job and provide the basic needs and essentials of life for their family. In doing so, so many undocumented individuals experience harsh realities due to the lack of legal protection.
An American citizen who visits other countries is somehow automatically protected, held to certain regards and given certain liberties, which sometimes the “Citizens” of those countries do not receive. Americans can travel to just about any country without a visa or any form of legal documents. Aside from a passport, they can choose to reside in that country simply because they want to without any form of backlash, ill treatment, or fear for their lives. They get some of the better jobs pushing the locals out of those positions. Therefore, illegal immigrants in the United States do have some constitutional rights that citizens have.
In the United States of America, for most regions the dominate religion is Christianity. Christian values of generosity, equality, and respect may come off as stable and universally accepted for improving human life. However, there is misconception to this thinking with these values it means Americans hold themselves to a high standard within there group, and lower out groups. In todays administration, President Donald Trump Christian values is influencing his actions against Undocumented Immigrants for the improvement of the citizens of the United States in order to, “Make America Great again”. Toleration of Undocumented Immigrants is a phenomenon that is rooted beyond an understanding, but more from psychological intentions.
The first effort to control immigration was not to bar immigrants entirely, or turn back those who wanted to travel to the United States, but to set standards for immigration and separate the desirable newcomers who would add to the country from undesirables which would only tear it down. The very first immigration enforcement enacted by Congress was in 1798, and allowed the present to deport anyone that was deemed dangerous to the United States.
With education being the number priority and the reason why many immigrants came to the United States, but with many organizations have been helping many immigrants in achieving their citizenship, but also helping students with scholarships with non-profit foundation, meaning that the no federal organization gave them money with no strict requirements about their status in the U.S to get this scholarships. An organization located here is here in Texas that is called the North Texas Dream Act which helps millions immigrants that still don’t have legal status yet and helps them in many ways by giving funds and scholarships to students that are in need to find money to finish their career and start a good life. Other ways of achieving funds to pay for tuition at certain college or universities by receiving in state tuition that is based on financial aid but the requirement aren’t very crucial they just to live in the state for two years and graduated from high school or got a GED. For example Texas has the application Texas Application for State financial aid and many don’t even know it exists being that it existed for more than a decade. If parents were to leave and be deported the student
June 2012 was a year with a huge break through on illegal immigration, and the fight to set the decision right. Opportunities to improve immigrants careers, schooling, and lives, who were born in the United States and plan on staying are on the rise. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was created to provide immigrants with an opportunity to stay in the States “legally,” but continue their lives through education if graduating from an U.S. high school, going to college, serving in the armed forces, and eventually gain citizenship in the United States. Many U.S. citizen have many thoughts and views on illegal immigrants and immigration in general, and the pros and cons to having DACA support illegal immigrants to stay in the country. There is a huge decision in process currently in 2017 that is putting DACA in risk from being a Federal Program that would end up effecting many immigrants. Threatening deportation and the possibility of losing everything that DREAMers have worked up to and for and are continuing to work towards is at a huge risk of just being thrown away. Keeping DACA and protecting the DREAMers is important because mentally and physically they are just as much of a U.S. citizen as anyone else born in the U.S.
“When you cross [the border illegally] with the expectation that you’ll be released, there’s no need to hide, there’s no need to run. You just look for a uniformed agent and turn yourself in.”
Whether to grant illegal immigrants full amnesty or not is a very controversial and important question in today's society. As David Decrosse explains, amnesty means, “lifting a penalty associated with an entire class of people who have violated a law.” Some people might think that American authority deporting illegal immigrants with little repercussions is amnesty, but full amnesty would mean letting the immigrants stay in America and have a regulated job. If amnesty is granted the economy would benefit, it is morally right, and it would not hurt the society in any way.
Pros and Cons of Illegal Immigration Illegal immigration is a huge issue residing in Canada. With approximately 35,000 to 120,000 illegal immigrants in Canada (National Post, Canadians Want Illegal Immigrants Deported: Pol) many pros and cons are present in such situations. One of the pros of illegal immigration is that the immigrants are promised a better life. Canada is a first world country and many immigrants illegally come here to have a better life. If the immigrants were to have a child here, the child will immediately become a citizen of Canada and gain better opportunities.
Immigration is a very debated topic in the United States right now. Conservative citizens believe that people who enter the country illegally, or without proper documentation, have no right to stay. The federal government has laws set in place to prevent illegal immigrants from staying in their borders for too long such as taking away their right to work and ensuring that businesses do not hire these people. The government wants to have accountability of its visitors so that it can keep their citizens safe. Texas borders Mexico for approximately 2000 miles and many of the illegal immigrants come through there to work in Texas. Many Texans will eagerly jump on the bandwagon and declare that illegals must be deported and the border should be
There are over seven billion people in the world today. Out of that statistic, there are 11 million people that are illegal immigrants. They are migrating from their mother country to find a better way of life for them and their families. Even though not all of these "illegal aliens" are bad people
The number of legal immigrants in the United States grows each year. Migrationpolicy.org says, “in 2000, 31.1 million immigrants lived in the united states. 42.4 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2014.” The Immigration Act of 1952 ensured that America has procedures in place to apply for legal residency or even naturalization. However, the act has been amended so many times that legal immigration has become more complicated. Some argue that the number of undocumented immigrants entering America is directly related to the complexities associated with our immigration laws; but if you needed to get away from a gang, dictator, bad economic issues, or your family was in danger wouldn’t you just come into a country even if you were breaking laws? In the 2016, presidential election major party nominees took radically different stands. Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, offered an immigration reform plan that included pathways for full and equal citizenship, extension of the affordable health act and the promotion of naturalization by waiving the associated fees. Says www.hillaryclinton.com. While the Republican nominee, Donald Trump’s plan would allow for construction of a border wall. www.donaldjtrump.com says; detain and deportation of undocumented immigrants and create an biometric entry-exit visa tracking system.
Illegal immigration is a major problem which most of the developed countries face in the current economy, and it has been major political problem for the political parties in America (republicans and democrats) and over years each party has a different agenda to discuss the problem. Illegal immigration can be defined as a movement of people from a source country to the destination country without any legal documents and violates destination countries immigration laws. People have moved across lands over years to escape a war situation or to get better facilities in a different country. Countries have defined immigration laws to restrict people to enter their land without proper documentation as illegal immigration social and time
