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…

In the 1800s-1900s the process was sure simpler, but the repercussions were very embarrassing, and sometimes not even worth it due to them being deported back to the country that they desired to leave. In the present day its a lot more complicated, less embarrassing, but has more risks Immigration is considered stressful to those who do it correctly and or wrong/illegally. Though is the requirement for the immigrant to surpass really necessary? Even if the immigrants are illegal should they really be punished for seeking freedom, or happiness?…
Unquestionably, we are living in a time when hunting against undocumented immigrants has grown hugely. First, several of its residents live in a family with mixed status, which means that one or more of its members is an unauthorized immigrant.

Therefore, they fear being separated from them unfairly and dismissed. For nobody is a secret that is one of the most ruthless…

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.…

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.…
