Breathing hard, running out of breath reminding yourself don’t give up, keep going. All of a sudden you hear a siren, Border Patrol! Asking yourself what you ever did to deserve this, your family dieing of hunger and all you can do is run, run. As if there wasn’t a fence that separates you from your love ones. This is what runs through people’s head all the time they come seeking something that is called, “The American Dream”. Our country should not deport illegal immigrants they come seeking a better life, a better future and the American dream. Many illegal immigrants come seeking a better life for their family. There are incredibly high crime rates in Latin America (Jackson). Latin Americans live with the fear of death, or the fear
Furthermore, once in the US, most immigrants (due to lack of work authorization ) cannot provide for their needs. They make less than minimum wage so can only live in shady neighborhoods where insecurity rates are high. In order to survive, many immigrants do criminal acts like prostitution, theft, drug dealing, etc. And that generally increases the rate of insecurity in the nation.
Seeing no other alternative, the US declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917, and so the entered the conflict of World War I. Fear quickly flooded the West and Southwest regions, people from Texas to California began to fear an imminent invasion which would cause the loss of their land conquered by the soldiers of Mexico and Japan. Speculation that the Germans might seize Canada from Britain in the event they won the war fanned the flames of American fears. It became apparent that the war no longer only concerned events happening in Europe. It was now about threats to America itself. (MEMORIAL)
They have to avoid things such as deportation, starvation, dehydration, murder, and many others. Their only other option is to remain in their hometown and be threatened to join gangs in which case death is inevitable. In a N.Y.T documentary, a small team of reporters and journalists follow young immigrants as they try to make their way to the US. Three boys are traveling from Honduras to the U.S.A and they stop at a shelter for the night to get sleep and a good meal. “It’s
If you already have a child who is under the age of four at home, and you are in the process of trying to adopt another child, you are going to need to explain to your child that they will soon have a sibling. Here are a few strategies for explaining to your child that you are going to adopt their new siblings.
It is the human nature to have a need to build a superior future for oneself and one’s families. In cases where people believe that they are not in a decent place and their future by all accounts is in shambles, they are more willing to take risks and hopefully move to a better point. The same theory applies to the people who are seeking to illegally enter the U.S. Many of those people have been disappointed with the failings and shortcomings of their government. In addition, the expansion of drug cartel in the country and rising violence has people on their knees deep in poverty without any opportunity to earn and thrive. Thus, they see the neighboring country, the U.S., as their
If we can help make these countries better environments to be in, fewer people will find the need in relocating to the U.S causing their children to seek DACA. To make these countries better environments to live in we should donate money to the security organizations in these areas to enable a safer place in which fear of gangs and violence is less of a threat to the people. According to TEDx Talks Solving Illegal Immigration [For Real] | Sonia Nazario (March 15, 2017), “...The U.S trained Honduran police are using data to increasingly target where are those violent hot spots, the neighborhoods, and even the very corners within neighborhoods where murders take place. (...)In two years in Rivera Hernandes , a 62% drop in homicides.” (...)they have cut the number of kids fleeing this neighborhood in half.” “Three years ago, 18000 Honduran kids showed up at our southern border alone. Last year that number was cut almost in half.” We should donate money to help security organizations in these areas where there are high percentages of immigrants because it is noted how by implementing data into the system the homicide rates have dropped. It is also noted that the amount of people fleeing to the U.S has dropped almost in half due to implementing data into the system. If we continue to expand on these adjustments of security these countries will become safer places. If we continue to donate money to organizations that support helping security in these countries there will be less of an immigrant impact on our country. It is necessary that we change the ways we have been looking at immigration. It is necessary for Americans to contribute money in ways that will help keep people in their country where they most likely want to be rather than spend money once they have already arrived. It is necessary to address this
One doesn’t even need to understand Spanish and needs only to watch a few minutes of the network newscast Primer Impacto on Univision to see the hectic fear the Latino community in this country faces. The program offers numerous stories of Latinos fearing deportation, or unable to obtain new visas, or in fear of losing family, friends and jobs due to changes in enforcement and new legislation. Many are fleeing back to countries where drug cartels are literally at war with governments and where there is no opportunity for education or success. Some may argue that this is helpful to the nation’s immigration problems but if we continue watching the same newscast we see stories of drug trafficking, murders, and violence. It seems quite logical that those who flee are the shop owners, the laborers, and so many others who simply want the opportunity to earn an honest wage and improve their life while the cartels, gangs, and violence continues to spill over the borders. Unfortunately it is not the criminals who are being run out, it is the honest people who truly
Today Mexicans should not be deported even if they came here illegally. Mexicans have been here since 1854. Our President should look at America’s history; Mexicans have been here long before the Americans. Some people state that immigrants that came here illegally should not get free education. People don't realize that Mexicans also help. Mexicans also serve in the military. Also think if we deport parents, where and with who are the kids going to stay with. You? I strongly agree that immigrants should not be deported, unless they have a criminal record.
“A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation” Ronald Reagan. The quote is stating that if a nation cannot control the illegal immigrants from its borders it is not a nation. Illegal immigrants should be sent back and then take a citizenship test. The United States should deport illegal immigrants because they are taking jobs, having to have help, and breaking the law.
Leaving a entire family and friends is not an easy task, and crossing the border illegally in search of the american dream is even harder. The first thing a friend said was, that if I could buy him a hat, another friends asked for money to help him to buy a expensive phone and another friend said that since I live in U.S it means I am reach, it was not until I hear those words that I understood how wrong was the idea that people had about U.S. That the money grow on trees, or that people find it on the streets like if it was nothing. The reality was different, at the age of 15 I started helping my mom to clean houses and offices at 2 am, I remember how hard it was for my mother to keep two jobs so that she could provide us the things we needed.
During this survey 51% of Americans believe they are competing over jobs against the undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. with job permits. Less than 40% didn 't believe this was an issue, others weren 't sure about it.The common methods of traveling are by land, sea, and air (airplane). Every method, even the easiest one (airplane), contains an unlawful doing, for example coming by air needs FAKE identification. Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and other countries, come to America escaping the high amount of crimes and poverty, like homicide, gang activity, robbery, rape, homelessness, lack of jobs, corruption of the government, etc. Homicide is common in central american countries. El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras have the highest amount of homicides, each day about 43 to 45 people die from these occurrences. According to studies done by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, more than half of the children of Central America cross the border because of safety concerns back home. Most of the children 's home countries are full of gang violence, drug dealing. Research done by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection state that Central American children prefer to risk their lives in the border than back in their home countries. Although most of them come from dangerous countries doesn’t mean all of them are the same. Most of these countries don’t have available jobs, and if they do, their pay doesn’t prevail for a whole week.
Secondly, illegal immigrants fill up prisons and bring crime to America. One reason is that that Mexicans are the second most popular race in American prisons. “While illegal immigrants account for about 3.5 percent of the U.S population, they represented 36.7 percent of federal sentences in FY 2014 following criminal convictions, according to U.S. Sentencing Commission data obtained by Breitbart News” (May). A lot of the illegal immigrants fill up us prisons also committing crimes endangering others. Another reason, is that Illegal immigrants take up a low percent of the USA’s population but in prisons they take up a huge percent of inmates.”Of the "illegal" residents, 20,333 — 74 percent of them — were primarily sentenced for immigration violations, not violent crimes, according to the chart. Nine unauthorized immigrants were primarily convicted of murder, 50 of assault, 19 of sexual abuse, the chart shows” (Selby). A lot get charged with violent crimes, affecting the lives of completely innocent americans. Also, illegal immigrants are hard to catch. “Tracking down dangerous criminals often meets with far less success. A 1998 Washington Post article revealed that District of Columbia police had been unable to resolve two dozen homicide cases because the suspects had fled to their native El Salvador to avoid prosecution. These cases represented nearly two-thirds of the department 's 37 outstanding warrants for slaying suspects. A recent book
Immigration is the process of entry of individuals into a new country (23). Throughout past centuries, immigration has been a means of discovery and exploration of new lands. In today’s culture, immigration to the United States is an avenue for individuals who wish to start new lives and take advantage of the capitalistic, entrepreneurial system. People from many countries have migrated into the United States. Most recently, the migrants have come from Central and South American countries. These Latin American countries influence America’s society culturally and economically through their language, traditions, and workforce. From the 1990s to the present time, immigration from Latin American countries has more than
Just as we look at the concerns of our citizens, it is equally important that we look at the concerns and issues faced by the illegal immigrants. We need to understand why they are risking illegal entry, and what they face once they arrive. It is easy to answer the question of why they are coming into our country. The illegal aliens are looking for a better life, one with economic stability. They are living in third-world countries where wages are low and jobs scarce. In order to feed their families, they look toward the north. They weigh their
Do you feel as if the death penalty should still be around today? Many people controverse about this topic and are not sure what side they want to be on. I personally am for the death penalty. I feel as if the death penalty should be around.
