It is no news that immigrants are coming to America, fleeing from their lands in hopes of a better future, and it 's no surprise the challenges and discrimination immigrants face. The discrimination seems to never end, but to make English the official language might further that discrimination and be another challenge.

In ““English Only” Laws Divide and Demean” Warren J. Blumenfeld discusses the laws that make the official language in the United States English, only. His purpose is to persuade the reader to sign the petition he created which is directed to the Iowa House of Representatives and more to abolish the “English only”. Although Blumenfeld does an exceptional job appealing to the emotions of his audience by using personal stories, he does a poor job presenting evidence and facts to persuade the reader to agree with him. Blumenfeld may have personal credentials, but he does not have many source credentials, also, he does not provide counter arguments for the arguments that are made against his.

Very few, if any, immigrants have the chance to learn English before traveling to the U.S. Because of this barrier, it is nearly impossible for organizations such as the Border Patrol to warn, aid, and communicate with them as they travel to the U.S. Although there are helpful signs along the border, they are written in English and are therefore indecipherable. Furthermore, the language border hinders an immigrant’s ability to survive in American society once they arrive. English is the written and spoken language in almost every city, thwarting immigrants’ opportunity to find jobs and interact with others. As they struggle to communicate, they become ostracized and do not fit in.

In “English Only” Warren J. Blumenfeld considers the troubles of establishing the English only laws, he also visits the fact that although America hasn’t established an official language, there is still an implied code of language throughout the country. He argues that the need to establish English as our official language is unnecessary and demeaning to those who don’t speak English, he also argues that we should stop the discrimination by language and accept our diversity as a country. He shows that some states have already passes the English only law, then sympathizes with those immigrants who don’t know English, saying that these “laws fall under linguicism” (Blumenfeld). Blumenfeld insists that people will continue to speak their native

The English Only movement has been around for a long time, but it has been overlooked by most. Most Americans speak English from the moment they learned to talk; many others learn English as a second language. For this reason, many Americans oppose to the existence of non-English languages being spoken in the United States. In Warren J. Blumenfeld’s essay “‘English Only’ Laws Divide and Demean”, the author speaks about the “English Only” Movement and how people who support and oppose it feel towards this situation. He uses rhetorical appeals such as ethos, logos, and pathos in order to make people understand the severity of the situation and for the writing to have an effect on its readers.

Another issue with the Constitution requiring warrants, are police investigations being delayed. Like said before, warrants are not created right away and need time to be issued. Also under old law a new warrant were to be issued for each investigation even on the same person. Within all of this extra time criminals are able to hide any type of evidence there might be and do whatever it is to remain not guilty, only making it harder for the police and government to investigate or collect evidence. Surveillance and other investigations not only need warrants but judicial oversight that also takes time away from police investigating.

As time moved on the meaning of race continued evolve and still to this day. The focus of race changed from the focus of biology to focusing on culture and ethnicity. Also was race was beginning to be spoken about more indirectly. Western nations, like Britain, were somewhat fearful about immigration and that their culture would be diluted by theirs. As Rattansi states, regarding to Margaret Thatcher’s statement on the New Commonwealth, “The emphasis is on cultural differences and the genuine fears of ordinary citizens that their national character and, by implication, way of life may be in danger of being overwhelmed and marginalized.”

In order to understand how immigration policies, special visas and entry requirements attract immigrants entrepreneurs into the United States. As well as understanding immigrant entrepreneurs in terms of what type of contributions to the economy they make, differences across ethnic groups and entrepreneurial success. Immigrant entrepreneurs are not a uniform group and hence their experiences and contributions vary widely across ethnic and source country groups.

Understanding English helps immigrants find better jobs, reducing poverty and increasing the nation’s economy. Upon immigration to any country, one of the first things one must do is find a job. However, if one cannot speak the language of their new country, many employers find it disadvantageous to hire foreigners who are not English proficient. In Blackwell 's article “English Should Be America’s Official Language” he says that “[people] who can speak English can compete for better jobs, with better pay,” as they have one of the most basic skills required for most jobs in America (par. 10). In fact, some employers are even requiring their employees to only speak English while on the job.

Immigrant Rights I Ramiro Pineda Jr. am here to speak for all immigrants, about Immigrant Rights, and the equality of all races. I believe The United States of America should accept any immigrants because, they only come to the U.S. For a better life. They should be forced to go through the process of becoming citizens and learn English. If they so happen to not want to be here anymore due to the process they have to do, they can decide to go back. Also U.S. Should be proud to accept these people they come here for a better life, education, and good occupations.

unequally distributed and social stratification propagates discrimination and social injustice (Ellis & Carlson, 2009). Socioeconomic Status: The literature supports that Latinos face discrimination regardless of socioeconomic status or education level. “Regrettably, as a group, Latinos are one of the nation’s most socioeconomically disenfranchised groups in the US (Marotta & Garcia, 2003). They have higher rates of living in poverty and of being unemployed, overrepresented in low-wage jobs, and have lower rates of educational attainment compared to non-Latino Whites (Motel, 2012)” (as cited in Molina & Simon, 2013).

English is the most commonly spoken language in the United States, with over 78% of U.S. citizens speaking English. Due to English’s prevalence in the United States, one would assume that it is the official language of the U.S., so why not make it so? There would be many benefits to acknowledging English as the U.S.’s official language. Although the lack of an official language in the U.S. preserves language diversity and provides jobs for translators and interpreters, English should be declared the official language of the United States because it would encourage national unity and open many more job opportunities for immigrants. English should become the United States’ official language because it would promote national unity.

Intensifying national security can be beneficial for many reasons. The United States can strengthen her borders and will benefit from that by being tougher on those who cross the border. One reason being that it could help supervise with visa entrees. In the article New Pew Reports Confirms Visa Overstays Are Driving Increased Illegal Immigration states “we need to take a very close look at our non-immigrant visa issuance policies and also our laws that allow "tourists" to adjust visa status and remain here indefinitely.” In The Wall Street Journal Sara Murray writes, “about 40% of the 11 million undocumented workers in the country aren't low-wage workers who sneaked over the southern border illegally, but rather foreigners who arrived legally
