My parents came to America from Argentina, fleeing collapse and insecurity. They came here to provide a better life for me, one which simply couldn’t be found in Argentina, and I’m more than thankful I was born here. To immigrate in search of a better life for one’s children is a praiseworthy act of devotion, of love. Millions of young Latinos live in this country today because their parents or grandparents made the decision to immigrate in search of a better life. Far too often, what they and their children found instead was only poverty, bigotry, and hardship—oft-insurmountable obstacles.…

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.…
Refutation for immigration policy: Part 3 of 3 There are some major concerns about increased immigration and its implementation, and that has led to various types of objection to the policy. Following the same logic used in favor of immigration, it is possible to discredit these arguments that many people, especially those who have a misunderstanding of the principle of pro-immigration policy frequently use. Commonly cited objections include the risk of increased crime from immigrants, wage depreciation, and increased strain on government social welfare programs. Abuse of government benefits is many opponents’ primary concern.…
One of the most important social movements in the United States includes the DREAMERs; young undocumented immigrants brought to the United States who have regenerate the immigration reform debate. For years, these DREAMERs have been forcing the Congress to pass the DREAM Act (acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), which especially would allow these young undocumented immigrants the legal right to stay in the United States. The DREAM Act benefits to both the U.S. and immigrant populations. Reducing the significance of the U.S. immigration policies, this will increase the inflow of illegal immigrants. These DREAMERs went through many struggles and obstacles for social justice to become the most active and dynamic elements…

In 2001, Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or the DREAM Act bill, was first introduced by both Republican and Democrats, but failed to pass in Congress (Olivares).…
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).…
