Donald Trump's Effects On Illegal Immigrants

Improved Essays
Why does Donald Trump want to send back all immigrants back? Why does he have to use harsh words to describe immigrants? Why aren’t people seeing the red flags that will affect the psychosocial functioning of Latinos? I chose this topic because I myself am Latino and I do have family members who are immigrants and if Donald Trump becomes president then who knows what will happen to them. My Aunt is an immigrant and she has lupus and I’m not positive if she gets any help through any welfare program, but if she does she might not be able to continue receiving it. If anything horrible happened to her then the family system theory will be interrupted. ¿Hola, cómo estás? I just asked hello, are you doing in Spanish. The Spanish language has increased …show more content…
Society has associate illegal immigrants with Latinos. I defined the word illegal immigrant and Dictionary.com has expressed an illegal immigrant as an illegal alien and it’s defined as, a foreigner who has entered or resides in a country unlawfully or without the country 's authorization (Dictonary.com). Latino’s come to U.S to live a better life and live that American dream. A lot of countries in Central America are poverty-stricken. So they see a better life in the U.S. I have chosen to research on this topic because I myself is Latino and it does affect my family. I intend to study about how immigration impacts the psychosocial functioning of Latinos. It’s worth researching about because like how I stated there’s a growth in Latino immigrants and sometimes it’s hard for them to receive any help for plenty of …show more content…
One famous Republican presidential candidate has made Immigration a hot topic. Donald Trump has his own ideas how to control immigrants. During a presidential debate in June Donald Trump stated, “When Mexico sends its people, they 're not sending their best," Trump said in the speech. "They 're bringing drugs. They 're bringing crime. They 're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people” (Santucci, 2015). I didn’t watch the debate, but once I find out what he said on social media. My mouth just dropped because of the cruel words that he used to describe immigrants. That’s a big problem in society, people think all Hispanic people are Mexicans and that’s not true. It’s an insult if someone says you’re Mexican and you’re not. I have no idea what Donald Trump is thinking. I did some research and found out that his father is a German immigrant. But in Donald Trump’s mind immigrants are Mexican’s. My mother is from El Salvador and when my mother came to the U.S for her first time she was an immigrant and she is not a rapist nor does she do drugs. Trump has also stated, "We 're going to create a whole new system. We 're going to take the system apart. You 're going to get the greatest service of any country because you deserve it," Trump said. (Schleifer, 2015). When I read this all I thought about was the system’s theory. In the textbook Understanding Generalist Practice it defines system

    Election day is approaching and regardless of the outcome, it will definitely become a historic event. Timothy Egan (2016) shares his opinion towards Donald Trump in his Op-Ed article, “The Immigrants Turned Away.” He is certainly not a Trump supporter and uses the time remaining, before Election Day, to warn U.S citizens about Trump’s plans concerning immigration. Pathos is applied the most throughout Egan’s argument because he prefers to connect with his audience on a personal level. Ethos and logos appear in the argument to provide evidence and strengthen his writing.…

    The use of identifiers like “Hispanic” or “Latino” has been loosely used by governmental agencies in the United States, in hopes to capture a proper census on populations of Spanish and Latin decent. Yet over time, many have opposed a singular identification in order to maintain heritage based on individual country of origin. Choudhuri, Santiago-Rivera & Garrett (2012) note that there is a complexity in the variety of dimensions in which a Latino individual affiliates with in an ethnic group, including self-identity, and perception of the group as a whole. Differences within the Hispanic and Latino group seem to stem from the level of acculturation determined by domestic birth and that from abroad. Immigration plays an important role on shaping…

    Insuring the Uninsured: Where Should Undocumented Immigrants Stand The United States has maintained a tolerate-hate relationship with undocumented immigrants, and really immigrants in general. According to Pedraza and Rumbaut (1996) history has shown that their presence is necessary for economic development, especially in the labor workforce that has remained undesirable to native residents. However as Hilfinger-Messias, McEwen, and Boyle (2015) explain, more often then not when immigrants become increasingly visible in society nativism resurfaces exclusionary tendencies, and immigration policies become increasingly prohibitive and strict, especially when the U.S. economy is unstable. Even with regulations restricting illegal immigration Pedraza & Rumbaut (1996) highlight undocumented workers continue to arrive in hopes of…

    Even though we are willing to help, we should be stricter about the immigrants that are in this country, and Donald Trump has good ideas to do that.

He uses the fears of illegal immigration and terrorism as means of getting people to go vote for him. This election will come down to who can keep U.S. citizens safe, and Trump brings that sense of security to the…

    Hello Class, I have to sat this is one of my favorite discussion forums, for it highlights the immergence of the Latino’s presence in politics. I believe that this recent immergence is the reason for the anxiety the white culture feels about Latinos as discussed in Scott Clements’ “The data on white anxiety over Hispanic immigration”. One argument that Clements made was that when whites read a negative story featuring a Hispanic immigrant had a strong political reaction. He further describes that this creates an anxiety for whites and caused them to form a higher opposition to immigration. I can support this claim, as I can see an overreaction to immigration happen in the 2016 Presidential campaign.…

    The Latino community has been generalized to seem as though access to proper mental healthcare has been a fault on their part, yet others argue that their approach to mental health may not be the only reason or a valid reason at all. Research has demonstrated that other factors have heavily contributed to the plight of a Latino’s mental well-being, instead. These factors vary across a spectrum for each Latino, such as whether or not they uphold cultural ideals; their background; their status; and their access to insurance or services. Attitudes from Latinos about mental health has been anticipated, for the stigma has come to exist claims that mental health is not considered as imperative as that of physical health. The stigma rose due to the…
