Faith calls us to accept immigrants that come for a better life. Also to accept them to our church and treat them as equals. Immigrants have faced many dangerous challenges and problems. So we should welcome them and let them follow their faith and let them live the life God gave

In the article “Amnesty? Let Us Be Vigilant and Charitable,” John F. Kavanaugh, a Roman Catholic priest and philosophy professor, writes about why Christians need to encourage immigration as a form of charity work. The Kavanaugh article is effective because he directs his argument toward

The immigration reform, an important issue for the U.S. government has accelerated significantly in the past few years. It has been debated between the democratic and republican senators to reform a framework for the immigration. President Obama gave a speech to push for an immigration reform in favor of undocumented 11 million immigrants in the USA, as well as a road map for their legal citizenship. It has also been suggested that a sub citizenship could be an option instead of providing full citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants.

Immigration can be seen as an important role to maintain diversity and a steady economy in many countries, including the United States. However, while people are trying to immigrate to locations where they would get better opportunities for themselves and their families, they are instead being greeted by death or closed doors, caused by awful conditions when trying to cross the border or the inability to gain access to a country with better opportunities. Immigrants are forced to cross illegally to improve their and their family’s lives due to the difficulty of attaining citizenship or visa; millions of families have been separated and they have to live not knowing what has happened to their loved ones. The trauma of an incident like this can impact someone’s life forever, and in order to ensure people’s safety and wellbeing, everyone should have a real chance to gain citizenship, disregarding their country of origin. The path to citizenship should be made easier and more inclusive so that people who are searching for opportunities are given the chance to improve their lives.

Sanctuary cities. The burden of many politicians and the home of many immigrants. California being one of these states that have several cities that are sanctuary including Oakland where a recently controversy brewed up. In late February, the Democratic mayor of Oakland, Libby Schaff tipped off the community of illegal immigrants through a Tweet that helped them escape from the Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE). The tweet said the following "I know that Oakland is a city of law-abiding immigrants and families who deserve to live free from the constant threat of arrest and deportation. I believe it is my duty and moral obligation as mayor to give those families fair warning when that threat appears imminent.” ICE’s intended number of captured immigrants was roughly around a 1,000 however, they only manage to capture roughly 200 of the illegal immigrants from Oakland.

“Every single immigrant undocumented or documented, is a future American” (Diaz). According to Krogstad, Passal, and Cohn,” A rising share of unauthorized immigrants have lived in the U.S for at least a decade” (2017). During the last few days President Donald Trump has worked on building a wall on the Mexican border, and his dream (deporting all illegal immigrants) is soon becoming a reality. Many Hispanic Immigrants are saying goodbye to their dream, and are finding ways to cross the border, but every time an immigrant tries to cross the border illegally it is a different outcome. Border Patrols are detecting more, and more immigrants crossing the border illegally, and when they perceive them, the border patrols dispatch them back where they came from.

In the United States of America according to Bradley Fellow, Tim Kane there is 10 million undocumented aliens currently that live in the U.S that is growing 700,000 per year, creating a security threat to the country. Aliens across the country pose, perhaps not a National security threat, yet exercise the act of flout to the law that is instituted among the states. The broken Immigration system dilemma, possibly could be blame due to the poor executive actions, taking into example the Executive Order, President Obama will do on November, 20 2014. An act of unilateral, defying the approval of congress.

Former president Obama once said, “My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too” (“Barack Obama”). This idea of immigration has caused a lot of controversy in the past year. Since Donald Trump became president in 2016, he has begun talk of phasing out DACA- a program which currently allows over 790,000 undocumented immigrants to live safely in America. The removal of DACA is immoral and should not be allowed because it is legally unnecessary, is going to wreak havoc on the lives of those protected by the program, and will cause a strain on the economic well-being of America.

Immigration reform systems are unsatisfied due to immigrants, for this reason had brought about many controversies of how to make the system work. However, for the system to reach their better result in the reforms of immigrants, there are expectations and demands that should be placed in the organizations to benefit and as well to enforce a great system for immigrants. Henceforth, Immigration should implement a reform that should issue immigrant already here and to those not yet legal with a path to citizenship. In support to that, will legalized a great change in the system. According to the Progressive for The Immigrant’s Reforms Agency (PFIR), this agency is there to support the reforms and ensure that the immigrants are treated better than the past. This immigration reform policy will ensure that it brings positive economic, ecological and in a great social result (Rey Koslowski p 97-116). Another goal of the reforms is to ensure that the ecological and the social results due to the immigration reforms are improved.

Each year, U.S. Immigration Policy allows roughly 1 million individuals to immigrate legally into the United States. These immigrants all have one thing in common when coming to the United States. Most of the people that immigrate are young and are looking for better employment opportunities or reunite with family already in the U.S. Other people are highly skilled or are entrepreneurs and come to the U.S. looking to utilize their skills. Although they have the same goals they fall under two categories; those who are legally in the country, and those who enter the U.S. illegally. The bill I choose to discuss is known as the ``Immigration Compliance Enforcement Act’’ or (ICE). The bill prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from using

Sanctuary cities have been a hot topic in the news lately due to America’s illegal immigration problem. These cities protect immigrants that enter the US illegally. Because there are no background checks, criminals can cross the borders as well as those seeking a better life. According to our current president, Donald Trump, “Our cities should be sanctuaries for Americans- not for criminal aliens.” Even former President Bill Clinton cracked down on federal immigration enforcement. In his 1995 State of the Union address, he said, “We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent

One morning there is a knock at your front door. When you open the door, you notice it is a family that is in need of your help. They are looking for a place to stay, so you invite them in for the night, a night turns into a week and then months and now years. During this time, this family needs food, money and shelter. You end up having to pay for their medical bills, for their children’s education and their food. You think to yourself, “I really wouldn’t mind helping this family out, if only they would work to become a part of our family”.

America is considered to be the “land of opportunity,” yet ironically, its doors are closed to the vast majority of people seeking to become citizens and pursue this opportunity. Legal immigration to the United States is a complicated process that is generally limited to those that have been petitioned by family members or employers, or have fled their home country as refugees. Most unauthorized immigrants do not meet these requirements, and even those that do may have to wait years or even decades. This leaves many with the choice to either immigrate illegally, or not immigrate at all. Those who choose the former receive criticism from Americans that do not understand why they refuse to just “get in line” and become legitimate citizens, but this line already has 4 million people, and for many there is no line at all. The naturalization process is specifically designed to protect the national security of the country, but there are some immigrants that could potentially be hard-working, law-abiding citizens who are denied this opportunity due to the complexity of the process. It would be beneficial to make a simpler pathway to citizenship for these immigrants specifically, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants, strengthen the economy, and keep families together.

Since the 1990s, illegal immigration has been a common problem in the United States, especially in states bordering Mexico such as California and Texas. According to data from the Department of Homeland Security, only recently have immigration rates started to drop, beginning in 2009 when the estimate for illegal immigrants decreased by 10%, from 12 million to 11 million, over the past 2 years. Nonetheless, immigration still remains a tough issue to tackle as the Obama administration continues to contemplate a fix to what President Obama refers to as “our broken immigration system”. The Obama administration promises a fix to handle illegal immigration into the United States, but few results are apparent. Currently, the government is taking a very lackluster approach toward handling looming immigration issues in the U.S. as it seems that no definite answer has been provided to handle illegal immigration.
