Donald Trump: Undocumented Immigrants

Improved Essays
In one of his campaign speeches, as well as on twitter, presidential candidate Donald Trump has accused undocumented Mexican immigrants as “rapists, drug dealers, and murderers.” This accusation is heavily unfounded and extremely hurtful to the Mexican community. Maybe if Donald Trump knew that crime rates are lower with undocumented immigrants, as well as murders according to the --. Calling us rapists is another unfounded accusation when according to a Fusion investigation, 80% of Central American women have been raped while crossing the border by coyotes or even border patrol officers themselves.

    In an interview, Donald John Trump, an American businessperson and a Republican candidate running for president, specified: “ The immigrants are bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, and they’re rapists. It’s coming from Mexico. It’s coming from the south and Latin America and it’s coming, probably, from the Middle East, but we don’t know because we have no protection.” As a result of the immigrants coming into America, Trump wants to create the immigration plan. If Trump’s plan is carried out, the Mexicans would be unauthorized to enter America because of the “great great wall,” possible recessions and riots would take place, and all illegal immigrants including the birthright citizens will be forced to leave America.…

    Donald Trump is known far and wide as the man who wants to build a huge wall between America and Mexico to keep out immigrants. Trump believes that building a wall is going to make all the violence and issues of the country disappear but Clinton is smarter than that. Clinton wants to work on getting rid of violence all together and she understands that ones race doesn’t determine whether they are violent or not. Violence is a huge problem in this country that needs to be fixed but getting rid of a race isn’t going to fix it. When I first heard Trump say, “We have some bad hombres here, and we are going to get them out.…

    Trump believes that illegal immigration is destroying U.S. taxpayers, and he believes that neither Republicans nor Democrats are helping the situation. Republicans don’t do anything about illegal immigration because some of their business supporters want cheap labor. Democrats look at illegal immigrants as potential Democratic voters (135-136). Both Democrats and Republicans may have their reasons for illegal immigrants to stay, but Donald Trump thinks that the parties need to put America’s interests first and that illegal immigrants need to return from whence they came. Trump then continues to discuss that illegal immigrants are by definition, lawbreakers, and refers to them as “illegal aliens” due to the fact that illegal immigrants are often members or violent gangs.…

Between the two viable presidential candidates and an equal amount of dissatisfaction of those candidates on both sides, the fate of this country is seemingly up in the air. Though the election holds a discernable amount of media coverage and attention of the public every term the media coverage of this particular election has been dominated by the hateful rhetoric and call to violence of a particular candidate. The candidate calling for this violence is Donald Trump, he on multiple occasions has called for violence against protesters telling his audience how he would like to see them “punched or maimed”. Encouraging his supporters to do so by promising to cover their legal fees if they get arrested…

    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. Every year, thousands of U.S. born citizens are separated from their parents and put in foster homes or put up for adoption when their parents get deported. 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…

    Many Americans are against illegal Mexican immigration claiming that Mexicans are taking the jobs that belong to them. According to Michael Clemens, author of "International Harvest: A Case Study of How Foreign Workers Help American Farms Grow Crops-and the Economy" only However Mexican migrants do not come to the United States ostensibly to take jobs and weaken the economy. In increasingly unequal economic contexts and feeling unprotected from physical violence, migrants, who would rather remain with their loved ones, view migration as the only available measure to save their own lives and provide for their families. They fill the jobs that native workers refuse to take and thus have little effect on the employment levels of the citizens.…

    By stating that Mexican does not send out their best people, Trump referred to the fact in 2014, as also reiterated by Migration Policy Institute (Zong & Batalova, 2017), that 69% of Mexican immigrants aged above 5 came to the U.S with limited proficiency, higher then all immigrants’ average of 50%, and only 6% over age 25 had a bachelor degree or higher compared to the 29% of all immigrants average, and 30% of native born. As the impact of the low-paying job they get, 28% of Mexican immigrants lived in property and have the lowest household income median compared to all immigrants’ and native-born (Zong & Batalova, 2017). However, there is also misconception construed within the statement. A large percentage of Mexican immigrants led a stable and honest life- although for some it is back-breaking. One-third of them own homes and only 7% convicted as criminals and furthermore, only a fraction of those, only 3%, had been convicted of felonies or serious misdemeanors (Yee, Davis, & Patel,…
