The only thing worst than being a new arriving immigrant in the first half of the 1800s in the United-States was being a slave or servant. No matter which part of the country you found yourself in whether it be the North, South or West, as an immigrant you would be subjected to job discrimination, residential segregation, limitations on civil and legal rights... However, if a choice had to be made, I would have probably chosen the North because the thought of living in a state that hadn't abolished slavery like in the Southern states wouldn't be conceivable to me. Moreover, I wouldn't have lived in the West since the states that were being created there would have been too recently become parts of the Union and I would have most likely considered them…
Sanctuary cities are highly debated amongst United States citizens. It is no secret that undocumented immigrants are a huge topic in the United States, as you can hear or read something concerning that matter almost on daily basis. When I think of people fleeing to these sanctuary cities for safety or better lives, I cannot help but imagine that I would do the very same thing if I was in their position. With that being said, I think we have a lot of people at “home” that need to be helped.…

The U.S. Congress does have the ability to enact effective immigration reform but in order to do so; Congress needs to refocus their views from being prevention oriented to assisting immigrants in entering the U.S. legally and for a lawful purpose. Immigration reform should provide for the ability for more workers to legally enter the U.S., especially in industries such as agriculture and construction which require a large workforce. The true crux of the problem with immigration reform is that it is generally focused on keeping people out of the United States; as opposed to welcoming them in due to the economic needs of our country.…

The Mexican migration experience differs from other groups because historically people from Mexico were already here in the United States before the U.S annexed it. Mexican immigrants in the United States affirm rights to U.S. land and don’t hesitate to share that this was their land and that the imperialistic U.S. robbed them. Corresponding, Huntington mentions that no other immigrant group could stress a historical claim to the host country. This is indeed true since the U.S. did invade Mexico, which such gruesome events have not been forgotten by Mexicans It is evident that Mexican immigrants who are here in the U.S. feel they have the right to be here since it was their ancestors land originally. When migrating to the U.S., Mexicans feel as if they are returning home to a land that was once theirs, something that is not comparable to other immigrants groups.…

They feel that loose immigration laws flood the market with huge amounts of unskilled workers. FAIR (the Federation for Immigration Reform) charged that “Nearly 31% of foreign-born residents over the age of 25 are without a high school diploma, compared to 10% from native born citizens” (Vlahos 2). FAIR and its supporters argue that these unskilled workers consume jobs that could be otherwise taken by hard working Americans. They feel that a steady supply of unskilled workers allow employers to offer cheaper wages and a reduced payment floor for US Citizens. However, this narrowed view of the job market ignores all of the open jobs that are available for immigrants.…
There have been many concerns over immigration recently and this creates uncertainty for the fate of The Dream Act. The Dream Act is a legislative proposal that will give undocumented people who came here illegally when they were very young the chance to legally obtaining Citizenship. Undocumented students do not face many hardships due to their legal status until after high school, which prevents them from reaching their highest potential through higher education and stops them from being able to obtain a well-paying job legally. This is because “many colleges and universities will not permit them to enroll. Even if they are admitted, most financial aid is not available to them” (David Bennion).…
