The debate about who works harder in this country has been an argument that never goes away. There are many ways to view this question, but most often the argument often favors immigrants. The question itself could be tricky depending on the context, but there is no doubt to the fact that immigrants work harder in the United States comparing to native-born Americans. Many Americans get offended by this, but really they should not be taking offense. Native born Americans have privileges that immigrants will never have no matter how long they are in this country.…

Nowadays when we hear the word “Border”, with everything going on politically speaking the majority of us are indoctrinated to think of the U.S.-Mexico Border. A great amount of people think of the idea of the now famous wall to be built under our new president’s enforcement of it. From speaking with my group members, the topic of the border struck close to home for most of us. Personally there are a few words that pop up instantly when the word border is said, demarcation, stereotypes, parents, “coyote”, deadly, and overall sadness. When people were crossing the border back then and had to be sent to showers, had to have certain vaccines, and were practically dehumanized and stripped from their identity it was the beginning of some label constructs of all Mexicans.…
Many people characterize their home as safe, secure, or at least comforting. My home was a bit … different. After leaving their home in Nigeria, my parents had to jump from home to home constantly moving me and my family until they could learn how to properly settle in America. My parents were very caring and helpful and kept trying to move us to places where we would have a chance at success. When we finally settled their seemed to only be one logical thing to do... help other immigrants settle here!…

In the letters from the immigrants it states that they were better off in America, also they had bad living conditions in their home country, they had many people stuck together into one room to sleep.

When immigrants and crime are discussed in any setting, more often than not the main belief expressed is that immigrants cause crime and bring criminal culture from their home countries. What lacks in this discussion is how immigrants actually feel about crime and violent culture. Mexican immigrants have many different destinations once they cross the border into the United States, and some migrate to rural parts of America instead of urban places like Los Angeles or San Francisco. Resettlement into rural areas of America is not uncommon, but what is uncommon is a significant increase in the number of immigrants to rural areas. Garcia (2009) analyzed the reasons why immigrants are beginning to be found in rural America and as a secondary…
A controversial topic in today’s modern American society is illegal immigration. Many Americans today feel that illegal immigration is a threat to the United States and that it should be stopped.

The act of coming to live in a foreign country, whether it be legally or illegally. Immigration has been a topic widely spoken of in the United States for decades, centuries even. 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.…
