First, I think it 's cute how you 're dictating what I should think, as if I 'm incapable of developing an knowledgeable opinion. Secondly, before we continue with Immigration reform we have to shut the border and figure out what to do with the people here. Period. The only reason you have to shut the border is due to the welfare state.
Donald Trump and the Media From the article “ What’s In Donald Trump’s Immigration Plan and How It Could Affect the GOP”, is heavily based on what Donald Trump’s plans to stop all immigrants entering to the United States. The author of the article, Asma Khalid, proclaim that the GOP and Donald Trump are separate in minds of this situation. Overall in every media that involves the presidential election with Donald Trump; it always a force debate on immigration.
Immigration reform is one of the most contentious issues in America today, provoking angry debates in Congress, fueling tension in town hall meetings across the country, and even dividing families. In 2007, as the battle over immigration reform played out in Congress, Tom Selders, the Republican mayor of Greeley, Colorado, put a local face on the issue. Selders spoke out on Capitol Hill about the devastating effect of an immigration raid at a Greeley meatpacking plant and urged Congress to enact comprehensive immigration reform. As a result, he faced a backlash of criticism at home. Selders knew his public stance on immigration was politically risky, particularly since he was seeking reelection in the upcoming mayoral race.
By us showing them that they are welcome, the chances of us having an immigration reform will decrease. Entering this country is hard enough as it is, so why make the process of obtaining a green card complicated too. I suggest that every undocumented individual that is hard working and who did not commit a serious crime should be given a chance at becoming a permanent resident. First, give them temporary resident ship and after working and paying taxes without committing a crime for 5 years they can achieve permanent residency, after living as a permanent resident for another 5years they should be able to apply for

Immigration reform has been a big issue for our country in recent years. Many U.S. citizens claim that immigration is harmful to the US economy. In just 20 years, we have seen the average number of immigrants per year jump a staggering 20%. This has lead to the biased opinions we see towards immigration today. Currently, our country is not receiving any benefit from immigration.
Lady Liberty symbolizes freedom and hope to immigrants who come to the United States. She is the Golden Door to freedom. Her torch symbolizes safety. The message at her feet read “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore” (Redstone, n.d.). When immigration first began, the United States offered the golden door to immigrants wanting to relocate here by offering them freedom, safety, and the hope of beginning a new life to support their families (Greenstone & Looney, n.d.).
In Central America there are high levels of violence, particularly, in regard to gangs who are specifically targeting women. Resulting in families fleeing to the United States through the southern border. In an attempt to stop illegal immigration the current administration has been placing migrants, when caught, in detention centers. This is done as a message to others to not come over, and also as a holding place until they can be sent back to their home country. This becomes more controversial because of who is being held in these centers.
Within the United States, one of the hardest things to do is motivating people to participate politically. A normal American frankly is not interested in the actions taken by a politician on a day-to-day bases. People naturally think as individuals instead on what is best for the group. The documentary “Immigration Battle” tracks the actions taken in Washington to attempt the passing of immigration reform and shows how low political participation is an issue. Currently Immigration reform is still stuck in government but there is still a multitude of people attempting to get something passed.
In my family I am not only the oldest child- I am also a first generation student and currently the only person in my immediate family to hold a degree of any kind. I feel incredibly proud of this accomplishment because being a first generation student means having a limited amount of support from family members. Often times I was required to rely on researching the internet or interviewing professionals for answers to my college related questions. This skill was especially useful when I was offered a position at LCC’s five-star, NAEYC accredited center. As an Assistant Teacher, families rely on me for information regarding their child’s development and our center.
Throughout the history of the United States, immigration has and continues to be an issue that is present today. Undocumented immigrants face many hardships living in our country with limited access to attain a lifestyle as any other American. These limitations affect undocumented immigrants in their daily lives and they face downward social mobility. In the workplace along with anywhere else, immigrants face fear of deportation and exploitation due to their ‘illegal’ immigration status, therefore they remain living in the shadows and in extreme distress. If opportunities such as a work permit was granted to immigrants, their chances of succeeding in the labor market would be rewarding.
Immigration has always been a major part of American history. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to the United States in search of a better life. Of the 1.49 million immigrants who traveled to the United States in 2016, 150,400 immigrants were from Mexico. There have also been many people from Mexico who have immigrated illegally to America, with 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016. The large scale of immigration, both legal and illegal, has brought up issues such as national security and the U.S. economy.
A. First, amnesty for illegal immigration. B. Second, improve work program. C. Finally, make illegal self-deport. [Transition to Body: Illegal Immigration is a challenging issue, however, there are ways to find solutions for these undocumented immigrations to be either deported or legalized.]
Social movements take years and years to form. In the United states there have neuromas anti immigration movements that have prevented safe living standers for immigrants. From before it begins the Untied States has been a nation of immigrants. In 1607 the Virginia company of London sent a 34 Man crew to the new world efforts to find new land. These first ever settlers were the first immigrants to enter the Untied States.
Immigrants make up a large part of the United States, they contribute to the economy but yet, are denied of the benefits, being threatened on a daily, and are looked down on. There has been a lack of progress on the political spectrum full of false promises. In order to be the United States, a country full of promise and hope, we need to be a united nation, literally, and an immigration reform can provide
