The 'Statue Of Liberty'

In the article “Trump outlines immigration specifics,” Jeremy Diamond and Sara Murray analyze Republican candidate Donald Trump’s latest immigration policy proposal and demonstrate how his unrealistic plan could cause more harm than good. For many years now, the topic of immigration has always been a problematic one and with reason. One side argues that immigrants are taking American jobs, while the other side maintains that immigrants are actually helping the US economy. While both sides rarely see eye to eye on multiple issues, one thing that they can both agree on is that the current US immigration system is, indeed, broken. Because of this issue, Trump has proposed an immigration plan that would require the US to build a wall along the

There exists a problem in America today that cannot fail to enter the houses of every citizen, influence the thoughts of every individual, and stir the wild imaginations of every free thinker: the problem of illegal aliens traversing the sacred borders of our beloved country. Certain individuals have recently proposed ideas regarding this that have entranced the American people, advocating building a wall separating the United States from its long-time neighbor and trade-partner Mexico. However, after much consideration and calculation I have found his idea grossly mistaken in its computation. A simple wall will be insufficient and far too conservative to solve this crisis of borders. Therefore, in response to America's growing interest in

When president Donald Trump declare on his agenda that he will build the wall, he seems to forgot about many factors. It’s not just who’s going to pay for it but how it will affect the United States. However, there are millions of people who lives in both side of the wall. If the wall was build, the business will comes and the property owner will start to see ‘their land’ bisected by the wall. Indeed, the Mexican government saw this problem and they has published studies on its impact. The border wall is going to threaten the diversity of two communities along the 1,989 miles. Moreover, building the huge and large wall wasn’t easy because its need a lot of money to make it happen. The

The 45th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, is a political man who has many ideas to improve the U.S. One of the many idea he had included building a wall between the borders of the United States and Mexico for the “purpose of controlling immigration into America”. According to Trump this wall is supposed to help our country with its national security. In reality though, many people believe that the wall is showing Trumps true colors. Many people are contemplating on the fact if Trump is a racist person who is building the wall because it provides a method of targeting and preventing those who are trying to cross the Mexican-American Border. In reality, Trump only cares about trying to make “America Great Again”, and

All through America's history it always had a presidential election every four years, and last years presidential election campaign there were two leading candidates, so to ensure their victory, they both made promises significant changes, creation. All through last year's campaign, a candidate named Donald J. Trump made several promises, and one of his promises could change the way of life in American. Mr.Trump won last years presidential election, and all eyes were on him to the promise vowed to do if and when he is president. That one promise which is opposed by six in ten Americans is that President Trump promised a 'big, beautiful wall' that would be placed on the Mexican and American border. President Trump Proposed that he could construct the wall for 8 billion, but now it is known that wall will cost about $21.6 billion for the wall and that the $21.6 plan doesn't include the $150 million a year to maintain. America shouldn’t Build a Wall along the US/Mexico Border because of the high cost and how it will affect America's economy, also thought the wall would keep out undocumented immigrant from crossing the US border but it is shown that undocumented immigrants contribute over $11 billion to the US economy each year, and lastly the environment that is near the border, and how it will be affected and disturbed due to the construction the border wall.

    Last year when Donald Trump became President of the United States he wanted to build a wall that would seperate the U.S. from Mexico. He wanted to do this to stop any illegal drugs, terrorists, or weapons from crossing the border. Athough it was a good idea, many people were

The symbol of the Statue of Liberty clearly represents the idea of immigration. According to the Collins Dictionary, the definition of immigration is, “The movement of non-native people into a country in order to settle there.”

Michael Walzer’s Membership and Joseph Carens’s Aliens and Citizens: The Case for Open Borders present two strikingly different views on the justifiability of restrictions on immigration. In essence, Walzer argues that restrictions are generally justifiable, and Carens argues that they are not. In this essay, I will argue that Carens’s view is the more compelling one due to the following central reason: it promotes freedom of the individual. I will then apply Carens’s and Brown’s arguments to Donald Trump’s immigration policy, specifically his proposal to build a wall in order to keep immigrants from unlawfully entering the country. I will argue that this proposal is a marked move towards injustice and xenophobia disguised as an attempt to reclaim state sovereignty.

“I will build a great wall- and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me- and I’ll build them very inexpensively on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words”-Donald Trump. Whether the United States builds a wall, deports hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, or does nothing about it, the so called “uncontrollable problem” of immigration is still present today. America, for the past 100 years, has been faced with this dilemma that immigrants come and pursue the American dream but some doing it illegally. Not only has that been an added contribution to the issue of America’s economic stability but also how America is seen as a nation. Immigration, now more than ever, has become a national crisis that needs to be taken care of immediately.

Immigration has been a critical issue that divides the country for many years. However, the United States of America is a country built by immigrants for immigrants, from the beginning until now. The statue of liberty is facing the rest of the world, holding the torch of freedom, which has the flame of hope that promises a new bright future to all immigrants that come to the nation, regardless of neither their country of origin nor the color of their skin. The United States of America is a country that welcomes immigration and this is one of the reasons why this country is a great country.

Immigration has always been a controversial issue in almost every society. Consequently, the choices a society faces about whether to allow an influx of people into their surroundings results in many conclusions being made. The article “To Wall Or Not To Wall” by Jonah Goldberg, a conservative commentator, discusses whether the United States should or shouldn 't build a wall around its borders so as to prevent illegal immigration. The author expresses his indecision regarding whether we should do one or the other. Although building a wall is necessary if a majority of the public supports it, i believe not building a wall has more merits than building one upon a clear comparison of the two.

President Donald Trump has pushed for the construction of a wall on the Mexican border throughout his whole Presidential campaign. Many people have very drastic views on this initiative, as it it can be argued whether it can be justified. Trump’s reasoning for building this wall would be to keep out “undesirables” from Mexico, which is unacceptable.

Thomas Paine spoke of America as a place of diverse cultures, a “mixing pot”. But, as time has continued, Paine’s idea of a country of different speaking people living in unison, has changed greatly. The climax of this universal prejudice towards immigrants began for many Americans on September 11, 1999. Since the tragic terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers, citizens began to question the immigrant security of America. Fast forwarding ten years after many more terrorist attacks, Donald Trump along with many Americans support the idea of building a wall to block out immigrants from the southern border. Some supporters believe the wall would protect the people, protect the goverment, and protect the country as a whole. However, other

Even before Donald Trump became president, the idea of a wall at the border of Mexico and the United States caught the attention of the American public. Throughout Trumps presidential race the topic of the wall was the clear solution to immigrations problems in American. The wall, would keep away the immigrants that are currently “harming” our countries economy and culture. When Donald Trump made this statement, he directly made them against the Mexican community of America and of Mexico. He sparked a lot of tension between his believes on immigration and the Hispanic community. With the racist remarks Donald Trump said during his presidential race, the Hispanic community felt betrayed that a racist man has taken office at the White House.

The Statue of Liberty embodies American independence and freedom. These principles are the foundation of this nation and give its citizens hope for a progressive and promising future. The immigrants who saw the Statue of Liberty from their ship hoped to live out the “American dream”, which also promised a future full of opportunity. The symbolic torch Lady Liberty holds signifies the light of freedom, however, the broken chain lying around her feet depicts our shameful and repressive past. She stirs the citizens of this nation to be guided by her torch of freedom and warns them never to recede back into subjugation. The American people have the right to pursue the American dream, because of the independence and freedom Lady Liberty personifies. The modern meaning of the American dream produces images of the suburbs, two perfectly behaved children, and a Prius parked in the garage. Unfortunately, this materialistic and shallow dream guides the way Americans live today. In contrast, the American dream, faithful to the principles of our founding documents, ensure equality reaches every suburb, city, countryside, child, man, and woman. America’s standards have lowered and the nation has become too content with their counterfeit American dream. Money can now buy artificial happiness that does not last. However, justice and liberty remain and cost nothing because our predecessors paid for it with their blood and lives. The American dream our forefathers envisioned and Lady Liberty
