Immigration is happening at a very high rate, some legally and many not legally. Approximately 11 million people live undocumented in the U.S.(Immigration notes). All immigrants have arrived from what is known as the front door, side door, and back door policy. Front door policy is when a person arrives to be a permanent citizen by going through the legal steps to be a citizen (Immigration notes). First they become a naturalized citizen and are here in a legal long term residency which after so…

status of a person recognized under the custom or law as being a member of a state. A person may have multiple citizenships and a person who does not have citizenship of any state is said to be stateless’ (Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, n.d. Web. 14 Dec. 2015.) A citizen of the united states lives under the law of the united states. So they have to follow the rules; the law of America (if there in the United states, otherwise they have to follow the law of the country they are in at that…

The United States holds citizens responsible for their rights and responsibilities. These include obeying laws, paying taxes, to be an informed voter, support and defend the constitution, defending the country, and serving on a jury when summoned. Every U.S. citizen must obey federal, state and local laws, and pay the penalties that can be incurred when a law is broken. All citizens must pay taxes in one form or another, including federal, state, local, Social Security, property and sales…

The most characteristic form of citizenship in modern democracies until the present has been a single and exclusive citizenship within the nation-state. However, while state-building and nation-building went hand in hand in the past, there are obvious problems and challenges in drawing too tight a connection between citizenship and the nation-state because it is estimated that there are between 5000 and 9000 ethnic-cultural groups in the world, and only around 200 states, over 90% of which…

Citizenship can hold different meanings to everyone. It can symbolize responsibility, unity and initiative. When considering which factors that determine the “goodness” of a citizen, I am reminded of a quote by Albert Einstein which states, “Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men -…

Multiple citizenship, also called dual citizenship or multiple nationality, is a person's citizenship status, in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen of more than one state under the laws of those states. There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person, which is defined exclusively by national laws, which vary and can be inconsistent with each other. Multiple citizenship arises because different countries use different, and not…

it was speaking to the common man in a language they understood, during a time where the Battles of Lexington and Concord had already occurred. It served to persuade the undecided average citizen, who initially only wanted equal rights with the British, that they needed to fight for independence. Paine contributed all the money from its sell to Washington’s Continental Army. Paine wrote of England being an island trying to run a continent from a thousand miles away. He stated…

Citizenship, with its attendant rights and duties has been an ever constant in human society since the earliest ideas of democracy and the rights of mankind were recorded in the Greek city-states of antiquity. As human society has evolved with the passing of the centuries so too has our perspective on citizenship, into what we now recognise as our modern interpretation of the expectations and rights of the citizen within the nation or state to which they belong. “Citizenship refers not only to a…

explores the subjects of institutional racism, the subconscious racist nature of the English language and the stains that the time of imperialism has left on the British mentality. To gather Rushdie’s main thesis, one need only to look at the title: “The New Empire within Britain”. Rushdie states: “It sometimes seems that the British authorities, no longer capable of exporting governments, have chosen instead to import a new empire, a new community of subject peoples to whom they think, and with…
