Unocumented Immigrants: A Case Study

Decent Essays
If they pass their background check and pay their fair share of taxes they could stay temporarily. That gives them a chance to change their life.

This will change their life because there are already 4.9 undocumented immigrants coming here illegally and this will give them a chance to change their life. Something else that gives people a chance is if they pass their criminal background check they could stay temporarily An "expungement" is the deletion of a person’s entire criminal conviction record from any court, police record, or criminal justice agency.

Like i mentioned before about the article of Angela Chuan-Ru Chen, in how many of these undocumented students have to take breaks in between terms to save up to pay for tuition costs or other school related expenses, but now that situation won 't be the same anymore for most of the undocumented students who applied for this program because they get to have a higher paying job where they can afford to pay somewhat for their school costs. This program also gives the DREAMers the opportunity to study abroad. Before undocumented students couldn 't study abroad because they didn 't have any documents whatsoever. To me, i think that this is such a great opportunity…

    The objective of this research paper will be to examine three main ideas in regards to the undocumented immigrants. First, the social and economic stakes concerning the undocumented immigrants, particularly the ones who want to reach their American dream coming from Mexico and Latin America, in the American soil.

    The goal of the “American errand into the wilderness” was essentially to transform California’s wilderness into a mirror image, both physically and culturally, of the successful settlements on the east coast, which generally consisted of clearing land, building towns or homes, starting agriculture, and building mass transportation such as railroads and steamboats (Takaki 23). Understandably, this infrastructure required a massive amount of labor that couldn’t be provided solely by the American colonists. However, an influx of Asian immigrants entered California during the 1849 gold rush, and colonists looking to employ cheap labor quickly realized that the Asian immigrants were perfect for the job because of their willingness to work excruciatingly long and difficult hours with little to no complaints or…

    First, it would have been very helpful if the case study provided the name of the case referenced so that we could research the outcome and history of the case in more depth. The employer should have verified the employee’s ability to work and have measures in place to prevent them from hiring undocumented workers or illegal aliens, so it appears that this company would be at fault for hiring illegal aliens. The employer admitted illegally discharging the twenty employees and voluntarily agreed to a settlement that was approved with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). There should have been fines for hiring illegal aliens and for this company not verifying employment eligibility.…

    Imagine being separated from your kids and being denied the right to claim your children’s custody. Thousands of undocumented immigrants get separated from their kids and lose their custody due to deportation.

The Deferred action for parents of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents also, known as (DAPA) is a bill that, if passed, would provide a temporary legal status and work authorization to undocumented immigrant parents of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent residents (Uscis). Passing this bill will not only have a significant increase in economy, tax contribution, and a decrease…
