The Influence Of Double Down On Border Patrol

Decent Essays
What is our government doing? No one truly knows, to be honest I think the government is just winging it. It just seems that we have all kinds of ideas but no action has taken place. Some say build a wall, others say double down on Border Patrol, but we don’t see many plans about helping immigrants gain citizenship and do it all legal. But everyone one is so focused on how the ruin this country and take all the jobs. But in reality they work the jobs that no one wants to work on, and yes I understand that they need to legal and pay taxes. So instead of sending them back lets help them become a contributing part of our

    There may be a point in time in which an individual may be faced with the question: “what makes up one’s identify?” Some people may be able to answer this question, while others may not. The novels We The Animals, by Justin Torres, and 187 Reasons Mexicanos Can't Cross the Border, by Juan Felipe Herrera address this question for the individuals who do not know what makes them who they are. There is a linking factor to both novels that allows for the reader to relate to them; this factor is identity. There are some internal and external hardships that both authors/narrators face.…

    Recently, Obama ordered an executive action plan known as the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents. DAPA was created to address the illegal immigration issue in the United States. In short, this action would allow for undocumented workers, who have resided here since 2010 and have children who are citizens, in the United States to have deferred deportation status. DAPA does not grant full amnesty and legal status but allows for a three-year work permit instead of deportation. This executive order has seen an immense backlash from the US Congress and multiple states, claiming that this proclamation is not within the president’s legal rights.…

    The duty of the American government is to provide for the general welfare of its citizens, and considering the amount of drugs and unidentified undocumented immigrants that seep into this country, there should be more done to protect the American people from the threat of drug abuse and the possibility of a criminal activity of immigrants. However, this does not mean to militarize the border and install an impenetrable wall. Although border militarization has been a sought out policy in recent years, it has not done enough for the resources it has consumed. Douglas Massey and Karen Pren, with the Mexican Migration Project at Princeton University, found that the fivefold increase in border patrol agents and twentyfold increase in funding to…

    In reality these immigrants do jobs others would not do, and they do it for little pay. In one of President Carter’s speeches he states, “…the hiring of undocumented aliens at sub-minimum wages, thereby often displacing workers”. Carter knows that most immigrants use this underpay to provide for their families, one of his concerns was there not being enough jobs. I am sure of there being enough jobs, especially when all these immigrants want to do is provide for their family. They would be willing to strive and do absolutely anything to make their family’s life better and give them everything they possibly could.…

    This nation was built upon immigrants whether was English,French, and Spanish during the early days of America or the late 1800’s when many immigrants came to Ellis Island.

    Therefore, having illegal immigrants in the United States is a flawed idea. I believe the people from another country deserve a path to citizenship in the US as long as we know who they are. I think that illegal immigrants can also help the US economy. But with them causing harm it can undetermine their helpfulness. Lastly, we should deport illegal immigrants if they aren’t documented and if we don’t know who they…

The truth of the matter is that the United States of America would not be what it is today if it were not for immigrants coming to this land. The one and only Christopher Columbus who discovered the Americas came by ship from Spain in 1492 searching for a quicker route to India for trade. The discovery of this piece of land created the wave of immigration to the land for years to come.…

    The painting “Self-Portrait on the Border Between Mexico and the United States” by Frida Kahlo represents the sharp contrasts of two neighboring countries. The painting is about a growing industrial United States with the contrast of the falling of Mexico. She paints herself in a pink dress on top of a pedestal in between the countries. The impression on the painting is that the painter is unwelcoming with the new changes. She is Mexican; therefore, her heritage can be seen by the flag.…
