[b]Door-to-door x3[/b]

Local candidate William A. Whitaker goes door-to-door in Wales. "We trusted them in 1979, 1983 , 1987, 1992 and 1997. But they didn't deliver what they promised, 5 elections in a row, time and time again we were misled. This election is all about change. No more lies, no more broken promises. Help New Democracy, help Great Britain, bring the change about."

Mr. Whitaker meets people door-to-door and warns them about the danger of immigration caused by the PLP. Under the Progressive Liberals, every resident for 5 years will get citizenship without any knowledge of the English, or Welsh, language, without any idea whatsoever about the British society and culture, taking your job, you grants, using the NHS that you paid

    For this assignment I have chosen to look more in depth at Immigration in the late nineteenth century until early twentieth century, and how this life changing experience was handled by different ethnic groups. In turn I will compare and contrast the essays of Victor Greene and Mark Wyman who both portray immigration in their own light. Victor Greens’s essay titled “Permanently Lost: The Trauma of Immigration” uses tools such as music and ballads to display how immigration effected certain ethnic groups and their families. While Mark Wyman’s “Coming and Going: Round - Trip to America” focuses on pamphlets given out in the workforce and more concrete evidence as to how and why immigration took place the way it did. To my mind Wyman’s use…

    David Cole in “Five Myths about Immigration” simply takes about the five common myths of immigration in the United States. The five myths being that immigrants are overrunning the country, immigrants take jobs from natural born citizens, immigrants drain societies resources, aliens and immigrants don’t assimilate to our culture, and immigrants are not entitled to constitutional rights. All of these myths are displayed to be completely wrong and were created out of ignorance fueled by fear/lack of education on the many benefits immigrants have on United States society, economy, culture, and unity of our nation. Immigrants do not and are not overrunning the country in fact first-generation immigrants make up only had made up in 1990 only made…

    Immigration in the 1920s is a largely forgotten or at least not talked about part of history. While sure you hear a bit about it the most you really hear is how there were a lot of immigrants living in the US at the time but never about why or how they got here. The funny thing is up until the late 1800s it was relatively easy to immigrate to the US. The change happened when an influx of Germans, Irish and Chinese immigrants began coming to the US.…

By the 1920s half the US population was urban and between the years 1800-1925 40 million immigrants had come into the states.

    The group of immigrants that came to the united states around the 1870s-1920s came from southern, Latin American, European countries, and even a small portion came from Asian countries. They did not speak English, and most of the immigrant’s religions were Catholic and Jewish.

    In the late 1800s, people fled to the United States to escape crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine while other came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution. In 1798, a period of diplomatic tension with France culminated in the passage of a series of laws known as the Alien and Sedition Acts in that it extended the period of residency required for citizenship from five to fourteen years and allowed the president to deport any “alien” considered to be “dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States.” The sentiment behind the acts did diminish by 1800 but would revive in later decades as German and Irish immigrants came to the United States in larger numbers. Many of the native-born…

    Brief History Immigration has been a huge issue throughout American history. It continues to remain a topic of extreme pro et contra, being fueled by success stories of undocumented/unaccompanied youth who beat the odds, graduated college and have careers, as well as by sensationalizing incendiary commentary such as that of Donald Trump, who stated that Mexicans are nothing more than “drug dealers” and “rapists,” which further demonizes the Latino immigrant. The United States experienced a major increase in immigrants during the colonial period, the 19th century, the 20th century, and the 21st century. During this time, America saw a surge of English and British immigrants migrating for religious freedom, wealth, and land. And once they were…

    Discrimination is an unavoidable oppression that transpires across the world. The U.S., a country known as the “Land of Opportunity,” is perceived by immigrants, people of different origin from different countries, as a gateway to obtaining a better life. However, immigrants may encounter many obstacles and ill-treatments that will keep them from progressing. “Our Fear of Immigrants,” an article by Jeremy Adams Smith, unveils why the United States government and some of its native-born citizens are prejudiced towards immigrants. Smith’s proclamation is to correct people’s irrational fear of immigrants and to develop a higher sense of empathy in people.…
