Another reason is Obama created DACA the immigration law program that protects these young undocumented immigration from getting deported back to their country. The program granted thousands of them who were transported to the US excessively as children to stay in the country. According to the book, “Dreamers: An Immigrant Generation’s Fight for Their American Dream” Eileen Truax mentions, “In May 2011, at a meeting with Hispanic legislators, President Obama assured them his administration would concentrate its deportation efforts on detained immigrants with prior criminal offenses and not deport young immigrants who could benefit from the Dream Act.” (Pg.31). President Obama points his immigration administration efforts on undocumented immigrants…
During difficult times , many will tell each other to never give up . To continue fighting , to continue moving forward. That which does not destroy us only makes us stronger.

It makes them become more open minded , more aware about their surroundings.…
Amanda Frost introduces the ethical dilemma of immigration officials, in the present, through her text in the Iowa Law Review. She expresses that the process and policies of current immigration officers, “leaves unauthorized immigrants vulnerable to exploitation at both work and home--harming not just them, but also the legal immigrants and U.S. citizens with whom they live and work.” Frost unbiasedly brings out the pros and cons of detaining and deporting immigrants throughout her text. She presents that, “Trump's campaign rhetoric expressed hostility to all unauthorized immigrants” which displays the trait of fear where has appeared progressively through time. “If the Trump Administration's primary goal is to instill fear in the immigrant population and appeal to…
Undocumented immigrants should not be deported from the United States because of the many negative consequences that would follow the mass deportation. These negative consequences include decrease in farming, negative effects on the economy, and more jobs that can’t be fulfilled. Background Information There are an estimated 8 million undocumented immigrants working in the US. Undocumented immigrants are hired because they can be payed lower wages and will work more physical jobs, such as farming.…
The only thing worst than being a new arriving immigrant in the first half of the 1800s in the United-States was being a slave or servant. No matter which part of the country you found yourself in whether it be the North, South or West, as an immigrant you would be subjected to job discrimination, residential segregation, limitations on civil and legal rights... However, if a choice had to be made, I would have probably chosen the North because the thought of living in a state that hadn't abolished slavery like in the Southern states wouldn't be conceivable to me. Moreover, I wouldn't have lived in the West since the states that were being created there would have been too recently become parts of the Union and I would have most likely considered them…
Sanctuary cities are highly debated amongst United States citizens. It is no secret that undocumented immigrants are a huge topic in the United States, as you can hear or read something concerning that matter almost on daily basis. When I think of people fleeing to these sanctuary cities for safety or better lives, I cannot help but imagine that I would do the very same thing if I was in their position. With that being said, I think we have a lot of people at “home” that need to be helped.…
Have you ever thought of how many people are in the U.S? Yea now imagine 11,000,000 taken away from that population sounds crazy right. Well that’s what some government members are actually thinking of doing. They want to send immigrants back to their country…
The U.S. Congress does have the ability to enact effective immigration reform but in order to do so; Congress needs to refocus their views from being prevention oriented to assisting immigrants in entering the U.S. legally and for a lawful purpose. Immigration reform should provide for the ability for more workers to legally enter the U.S., especially in industries such as agriculture and construction which require a large workforce. The true crux of the problem with immigration reform is that it is generally focused on keeping people out of the United States; as opposed to welcoming them in due to the economic needs of our country.…
Only in construction jobs (15% vs. 12%) and farming jobs ( 26% vs. 20%) do unauthorized immigrant workers outnumber lawful immigrant workers according to the PEW research center. Illegal immigrants only hold 5% of overall US jobs with the majority being blue collar labor or service jobs. Therefore I don’t believe that there is a legitimate argument to be made that illegal and illegal immigrants are taking jobs, especially well paid jobs from US born citizens. The majority of work taken by illegal and illegal immigrants is hard labor, dirty jobs and services that most people, not just in America, but around the world, would prefer not to do.…
One of the most important social movements in the United States includes the DREAMERs; young undocumented immigrants brought to the United States who have regenerate the immigration reform debate. For years, these DREAMERs have been forcing the Congress to pass the DREAM Act (acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), which especially would allow these young undocumented immigrants the legal right to stay in the United States. The DREAM Act benefits to both the U.S. and immigrant populations. Reducing the significance of the U.S. immigration policies, this will increase the inflow of illegal immigrants. These DREAMERs went through many struggles and obstacles for social justice to become the most active and dynamic elements…
In the past decade, the United States has dealt with many social, political, economic, and security issues involving immigration. Millions of undocumented immigrants are living in the United States. Several actions have been taken by our government to address the problems with immigration, while aiming to look out for their well-being as well. Higher education for immigrant children has been an ongoing issue. In 2001, Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or the DREAM Act bill, was first introduced by both Republican and Democrats, but failed to pass in Congress (Olivares).…
There have been many concerns over immigration recently and this creates uncertainty for the fate of The Dream Act. The Dream Act is a legislative proposal that will give undocumented people who came here illegally when they were very young the chance to legally obtaining Citizenship. Undocumented students do not face many hardships due to their legal status until after high school, which prevents them from reaching their highest potential through higher education and stops them from being able to obtain a well-paying job legally. This is because “many colleges and universities will not permit them to enroll. Even if they are admitted, most financial aid is not available to them” (David Bennion).…
