Shervarius brought out some interesting point I believe Asking immigrants to assimilate doesn’t mean white-washing their culture and religion, or whether than asking them not to wear the hijab, by demanding them to eat certain foods such as pork. But even though it does mean asking them to accept, to certain degree, majority from the culture of their country to which they have willingly moved. Typically, these are things like women’s rights, tolerance, free speech, or criticism of religion. It also means not having to apologize for having a culture of one’s own.
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.

The term "alien" has taken on a negative connotation over the last few years. With the issue of immigration reform so prevalent in the U.S., immigration-reform advocates are fighting to remove the term from federal documents so as not to offend immigrants. Castro leads the way Rep. Joaquín Castro, D-Texas, introduced a bill that would effectively remove the term "alien" in any and all federal documents and replace it with the more politically correct term "foreign national. " The name of the bill is the Correcting Hurtful and Alienating Names in Government Expression Act, also known as the CHANGE act.
The immigration Act of 1986 also called Immigration reform and control Act provided more reform and significant processes by which immigrants who had either entered the country illegally or legally on tourist or other visas and overstayed their stay in the U.S could legalize their stay and eventually apply to be naturalized (Daniels, 148). The process is often referred to as “amnesty” program but the term does not appear in law. Under this program, almost 2.5 million persons were legalized. Immigration Act of 1990 provides flex cap certain number and amends the immigration and nationality act to change the level, and preferences system for admission, of immigrants to the U.S and provide for administrative naturalization, and for other purpose (149). The Diversity lottery was also established to reserve space
The North and the South were the two opposing sides of the United States of America, and had very different opportunities and disadvantages. The Great Migration was a migration of different people to opposite sides of the US because of race and lack of opportunities. This impacted everyone involved greatly and made changes to the country. Some people might argue that there was not a lack of opportunity for different races. People may also argue not eveyone was impacted greatly by this migration.
One of the biggest controversies in the United States today is immigration. This is a huge topic in the country today because there is numerous people on both sides of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform that present great evidence about it. This reform is impacting millions of immigrants that are working and living in the Unites States today, but it also affects the people that are citizens of the United States. In this paper I am going to present arguments from both sides of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform, then come to a conclusion on which side I choose to place my opinion. There are a lot of worthy things that this reform is going to accomplish for immigrants in the United States.
During the Presidential election of 2016, Donald Trump was marked the 45th President of the United States. Thus, that has meant change. The U.S. immigration policy has become a huge a renowned topic for the past couple months after Trump’s election. Through the research I’ve dug through, I first thought the current policy was absurd being a democrat with liberal views, but after digging up more research and the reasons behind the current policy, I’d have to agree with the current immigration policy that various majority Muslim countries have been banned from entering the country and the idea behind building a wall between the United States and Mexico. In an article from Rachel del Guidice, she noted that, “…Trump’s dedication to enforcing immigration law is one of his significant accomplishments as he nears his 100th day in office…” (2017).
Throughout the last twenty years, the United States government has failed to establish equitable and lasting immigration reform. Different attempts such as the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals established in 2012 serve as examples of incapability to grant true reform to undocumented communities. This infectivity is a cause of polarized congressional leadership. Both sides argue for their personal views rather than alleviating the status of many migrant communities. The inadequateness of immigration reform can be explored through several aspects.
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.
In terms of postsecondary education, African immigrants have been given priority over other black Americans for affirmative action in higher rank institutions, leading to the creation of the idea of them as a new model minority. They have been cited as the racial group with the highest percentage of university and advanced degrees at 48.9% in 2010 and 8.2% in 2014 respectively (Ukpokodu 70). There are many problems with the seeming prioritization of accepting more African immigrants into universities. Not only the fact that less native-born black Americans are not getting spots in these institutions therefore dividing African immigrants and native-born African Americans even more, but also that this puts pressure and intense expectations on
For centuries, people from other countries of all ages and ethnicities have left their countries to begin a new life here in the United States. After the first new settlers arrived in America centuries ago they started a chain reaction, people have been coming to the United States for countless of reasons. During the 1820s the number of immigrants per year were over ten thousand, and from that time on it kept increasing throughout the years. As the country and the population have grown, immigrants have slowly moved down to the West Coast. “One in six Texas residents is an immigrant, while fifteen percent of residents are native-born U.S. citizens with at least one immigrant parent.”
Conor Oberst had once said, “how we treat the undocumented, says a great deal about us as a person and whether or not we’ll continue to fulfill the fundamental American promise of equality and opportunity of all.” Regulation for deportation was first written in the Alien Act of 1798, where the president could deport any “alien” who is considered threatening. As the time progressed, immigration was seen less favorable because of the fear that inhabited after both World War I and the 1918 Bolshevik revolution in Russia. As a result, this century has created another type of immigrant, illegal immigrants. Now the government has put these “illegal” people to an unjustifiable expulsion.
Illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the U.S.A. and become citizens because they are heavy workers, want a better life and most importantly they contribute to the U.S. economy. Immigrants simply want to obtain an opportunity to live and work in this great country. With all this in mind it is clear that they deserve a path to citizenship. Countless people say illegal immigrants are damaging the U.S. economy; however, they are contributing immensely by paying their taxes.
